Gravity

A natural phenomenon resulting by the curvature of spacetime due to most objects having mass. Astea's gravity is close to that of Earth, but still only has about 87% as much gravity, causing objects to accelerate downwards at 8.467 m/s² or 27.778 ft/s². This difference in gravity allows for slightly larger creatures than possible on Earth and has resulted in a weaker atmosphere, prone to solar winds. The Gods first witnessed this happen in great effect after the death of The Titan which launched a tenth of the planets atmosphere away into the universe. In an attempt to remedy this problem and the looming threat they faced, they crafted an illusory sky to encapsulated the planet and shield it from the suns deadly rays, and to shield the Gods from the inhabitants of Astea.

Glass

A rare and valuable commodity most often used by surface dwelling races such as humans. Because of its fragility and difficulty to produce it is rarely found outside of cities or the manors of nobility. The most common color of glass has a greenish tint to it because of impurities in its creation. Recently in The Theocracy of Rachelis there has been an industrial boom of sorts which has revolutionized the production of glass, which has allowed many more people to have glass bottles, eyewear and windows within the Theocracy.

Prince Emerce Delair Eagra Falymos Pt 2

Born to the late Empress Jizzmean Borinmor Delair Eagra Falymos, Emerce fell into a coma for five years during the assassination of his mother, awaking at the age of fourteen. Since her death his father has become cold to him since he acts as a constant reminder of her death, instead choosing to focus his attention on his new wife and children. Isolated from his family, but still the heir Emerce turned to researching his mothers studies in search of finding a connection to the people who killed her.


Over the years while out investigating he developed a habit of going out to drink whenever he didn't find anything out, which happened quite frequently leading to his unsavory reputation. When drunk he often ends up believing that many of those around him are related to his mothers death leading him to attacking them trying to get information, usually ending in either his or their death, and to their revival.

Empress Jizzmean Borinmor Delair Eagra Falymos

Murdered in an assassination attempt on the royal family in front of her only son Prince Emerce Delair Eagra Falymos as a act of retribution for the assassination of high ranking members of The Cult of the Blind Sun. They were attacked just a couple miles away from the city on their way to a neighboring city to vacation they were ambushed in plains. The ambush started with a group of druids sinking the feet of their caravan into the ground fixing them in place, they then rushed the outer flanks of riders in while in wildshape before surrounding the royal carriage. When the empress looked out the window of the carriage as the attack began she locked eyes with a cleric of The Cult of the Blind Sun who waiting behind the druids, when their eyes met the cleric stared deep her mind and uttered a single word, einfrieren.


Frozen in place the empress could only remain staring out at the attackers as they approached her tearing through her guards they quickly made their way to her door, ripping it open they immediately grabbed her arms before slicing her hands off. As soon as she broke free form the gaze her hands were gone, a bear's paw was in her mouth reaching to rip out her tongue. It all happened very suddenly from there on, the prince, seeing his mother a high mage being quickly overpowered and disarmed stumbled back reaching for the door and falling out backwards just as her head was severed.


That would be the last time he ever saw his mother, and the last he remembers of the attack. His very first memory after the attack is waking up in his bed in the dead of night, alone and covered in bandages. In the morning when a servant came in to change his bandages they froze, then quickly ran out of the room. When someone finally returned, they informed the prince that he had been asleep for five years, and in that time his father had remarried and had three children, a son and two twin daughters.

Sexually Transmitted Curses

A type of curse or spell which passes its effects onto whoever throws cursed engages in sexually contact with. Some pass easily through any bodily fluid such as sweat, saliva or even tears, while others require the exchange of blood or other internal fluids. Common STCs include: Lycanthropy, Vampirism, Zombification, and Bad Luck. The majority of curses which fall under this category were cast on a single person with the intent of making the curse carry onto their descendants, and either internationally or not it became transmissible through bodily fluids.

test

Across Falyimoar rates of mathematical literacy range wildly from person to person. Despite their long lives the Morihito often have some of the lowest levels of mathematical literacy amongst their general population, but at the same time have some of the most adept mathematicians on the continent. In most states the governing body has a body whose purpose is solely to manage the financials of the states, who in turn are often the most proficient in mathematics. Typically those who reside in large cities are better at mathematics, with the best of them in the city often being craftsmen, merchants or clergymen.


Most people have a general understanding of addition and subtraction, and an intuitive understanding of division, but fewer have a grasp of multiplication, exponents of variables. Burgdalin has a publicly available schooling system which is not found in other surrounding states. Through this school any who can pay the entry and boarding fee may attend and study rather than becoming an apprentice to a tradesman. As a result of this the average understanding of mathematics in Burgdalin is much higher than the surrounding county's.

Day 310

Animated Corpses and Flesh Golems

Throughout the history of Falyimoar there have been many wizards, necromancers and scholars who have researched and tested methods of raising the dead. Some have found ways to return the dead back to the living, while others have merely returned the bodies ability to move. Many necromancers begin their careers dissecting and stitching together dead animals before animating them. Though few ever keep this practice and go on to create flesh golems, amalgamations of different bodies all sewn together and called a body. Flesh golems of humanoids can have wildly varying degrees of capability depending on the necromancy who made them, and the quality of parts used in their creation. Some are great looking, others can speak fluently, so complex arithmetic and behave as a normal person, while others can barely move of their own accord.

Day 309

By WhiteKran

Krentins

A visually blind and intelligent species that live on Krentin, an extremely hot and dark planet. They €œsee€ their world through sonar, and communicate through whistles, chirps and by thumping on the ground which they can feel through their rocky exoskeleton.

Day 308

By WhiteKran

Boneweaver Ants

A vicious specifies of ant lives all throughout the jungles of the Thorillking Archipelago. These ants hunt small and medium animals with ease, devour their flesh and use their bones to build nests and body armor. Like spiders these ants can produce a sticky pliable substance to build structures out of, but rather than producing it from their abdomen these ants produce it through a gland inside of their mouth, then they spit it out and join whatever pieces they need.


A single colony of these ants will often have several million ants at any given time and cover several miles. When hunting these ants will stalk an animal for hours through the tree tops, before dropping onto it from the canopy above en masse, first they swarm over the eyes and dig into the sockets, then they attack the nose, mouth, ears and anus in an attempt to gain access for the animals internals as quickly as possible, often killing the creature in a matter of minutes, either through destroying its brain or suffocating it.


While they don't often attacks groups of humanoids, they will quickly seize the opportunity to take out a lone humanoid in the jungle.

Piuom

A somewhat rare but highly addictive substance derived from crushed and dried Frost Rose petals. Because of the source of this drug, the largest reserves of this drug are in Misteltal, but is not commonly used, being reserved for special ceremonies because it is only harvested once a year on the anniversary of the battle which created The Field of Frozen Roses.


Consequentially however, this drug is a highly coveted resource throughout Falyimoar, particularly in Devlutte where it most often sells for hundred gold pieces per dose. There are few locations when Frost Roses can be obtained, and the locations which they can be found in are heavily controlled. How Piuom actually makes it into the open market is unknown, but it is suspected by those who pedal it that Burgdalin secretly sells large amounts of it in auctions to fund their military.

Day 297

By WhiteKran

Enchanted Stones

Magical rocks which contain certain magical attributes such as fire, water, life or air. When these stone have magical power channeled through them they produce various wondrous effects, like creating a spark, a small amount of water growing a plant or evoking a gust of wind. When used in conjunction with one another these stones can be used to create powerful magical effects, and as such they are often used in golems or machines made by artificers. These stones can most often be found around dragon nests, volcanos, deep within ancient forests, floating in the sky and in the oceans depths.

Day 296

By WhiteKran

Animate Memories

Nocedas

Lucia and Luz noceda came from a happy home, a father being a devil and an elf as a mother. They didn't have much money, but life was perfect. It was sweet.


But, disaster struck when her father was killed. Mistaken for a Lycanthrope, he was executed. Not long after this either, her mother was murdered by a noble. Some chick with lime hair, she'd say.


The night of the murders, she fled her home with her sister, Luz. Luz was young, so it was hard to get her away unnoticed.


They encountered a criminal, an infamous woman who goes by 'the owl lady.'


To protect Luz, Lucia took on work for Eda. She committed crimes for her, earning money for her adopted mother. She took great care of them, despite what most think. But, she had also been taking care of another young girl. A girl by the name of Amity.


Amity had been there long before Luz and Lucia. She had been.... young for so long too. It's almost scary.


For some.... high payer business, she had set out for burgdalin. She first landed in a smaller town, meeting the main party.


But, she considers something off about a member of the group, Amelia. She thinks she's similar to the elf Amity always talks about, her sister. She doesn't think that the two are related though.


She's joined them to continue her journey home but also to learn more about this strange woman.

The specifics of why this being steals children's teeth is not really known, some theorize that the youthful nature of a child's tooth allows The Tooth Fairy to sustain eternal youth, while others believe that it is used in some kind of otherworldly ritual and a material component or that the being is simply a Knochendiebe with a strange attachment to children's teeth.

Capital Punishments of Burgdalin

There are few things that can land you with capital punishment in Burgdalin, and at times criminals have been forced into harsher punishments than death. There are 4 main categories of capital punishment in Burgdalin, torture, execution, undeath, transfiguration.


The torture catagory is meant to put the criminal through excruciating pain before their death, like slowly boiling them in tar, putting them in a barrel full of leaches until their sucked dry, stretching their limbs until they break, or placing buckets of rats against their limbs and heating one end.


Execution is fairly simple, its simply meant to kill the criminal. For this category there are hundreds of methods to choose from, but most seek to kill quickly, cleanly, and efficiently, such as by cutting off their head with a guillotine, hanging them, stabbing them in the head or heart, driving a spike through their eyes, burying them, burning them or through crucifixion.


Undeath is for those whose death could not nearly approximate the damage that they had caused. Those who face this punishment are kill and revived as an undead servants to the crown of Burgdalin and are often put into the military as infantry, they require no sustenance, can speak and retain their original mind, however they are unable to go against the commands of the crown, or those who raised them or else the will lose control over their mind, and only follow the commands they are given.


Transfiguration, this has three kinds, floral, faunal and inanimate. Some criminals will be turned into a sentient plant, an animal or simply an object as a means of keeping their soul conscious and in the material plane so that it may be used for magical purposes such as for certain enchantments. After about a hundred years they will have completely forgotten who they are, what they are and how they came to be. There are many animate objects that were created this way, and many of the living weapons that are used in Burgdalin's military are derived from powerful criminals who were subject to captial punishment.

The Cradle of The Slumbering Titan

A chamber of mythos the size of a mountain which was crated for the Titan to rest upon in the Material Plane during their visits. This cradle houses a bed crafted from the finest linens the Eiser could craft, and was constructed by their most skilled craftsmen. The location of this bed was a well guarded secret during its creation, a secret which was lost when the Eiser were eradicated in the War of the Stars. All that remains in a legend which tells of the Titan's bedchamber residing deep underground in the northern reaches of Astea. The legend tells that any who rest upon the sheets of the Titan's bed will fall into a deep sleep, becoming so comfortable upon the bed that they never wake from their slumber.

Idris, The Land of Colors

A continent of innate magical power which is home to few races, with the majority of the continent being inhabited by humans. In this land there is a kind of hierarchy that has arising amongst the people due to an ancient magic which is prevalent throughout the land, sorcery of the iridescent soul. Early on in this land the people learned how to exchange souls be it a fragment or multiple and how to prolong their lives with the souls of others. Through various different circumstances many have found themselves in a position where they were in dire need of something to survive., at which point they would sell a piece of their soul in exchange for something.


Every time a fragment of your soul is sold you lose a bit of the color in your eyes, your body looses it saturation, your youthfulness fades and your emotions fade. When your soul has been completely sold you become nearly devoid of all emotion, and your body fades into gray hues. Grays as they've been called still have their desires, hopes and aspirations but they cannot feel the pain of loss or the joy of creation. This emotionlessness makes menial repetitive tasks much easier to perform, and as such a system has been developed around multiple cities in which a worker will give away their soul for a day to a trusted person while they work.


As a result of this ritual of sorts soul banks have sprung up for citizens to store their souls in for extended periods of time. However should one go on too long without a soul they will lose all of their desires, then their memories and eventually they will become a mere shell of a person.


When in this state they are called Hollows, and can be commanded by any who imbues a soul fragment into them. Commonly those who are on their deathbed will pass on their soul to their children or loved ones. The more souls one possesses at any give point the more powerful and youthful they become. At certain thresholds they gain certain abilities, such as perfect pitch, the ability to animate objects and to even escape death at the cost of their memories.

Plague of 1302

A plague of Inkblight that swept across The Kingdom of Galmoer, nearly halving its population and even killing Queen Elise Delair Escara Enfer only a few weeks after she gave birth to the crown prince Prince Teaf Delair Phries Enfer and his younger twin Prince Phillip Delair Phries Enfer. This plague began to sweep across the land as the nights grew longer in late summer and did not subside until the beginning of the summer of 1303.


Those hit the hardest by this plague tended to be the elderly, soldiers, clergy, farmers, and craftsmen, which resulted in the nation losing a large portion of their skilled laborers, military and healers all in one go. In the reconstruction of The Kingdom of Galmoer they relied heavily upon the Empire for aid and became a major hub for The Adventure's Guild's which were essentially filled with traveling mercenaries, builders and handymen available for hire. During the reconstruction of the nation there were occasionally residual epidemics of Inkblight, but none worse than the plague which wiped out Freihao in 1320.

A type of evil spirt that resides in dark secluded areas of buildings. When you come across them they appear as an elderly person siting down turned away from you. As you approach you quickly realize the are not clothed. Their spine juts out of their back, barely held in by their skin, their discolored skin hangs down all around them as if it were cloth. When they turn to you they have no face, only more hair where one should be. Once they've stood it's already too late for you to run. As the Kapfka rises limbs explode out of its body which grows longer and longer until it can grow no more. Falling over as it grows this creature complexly fills the room and quickly moves towards you.


On the top of its head you see its face, four white glazed over eyes, and a mouth full of black rotten teeth. In mere moments the Kapfka is upon you, tearing your skin from your body to wear as its own. Kapfka appears when an elder who longs for their youth is neglected by their family and left to rot away alone in the dark. They return as a wrathful spirit who seeks to regain the body of their youth, but in their delusion they simply steal the bodies of the young and wear them believing it will restore their youth.

Nortia (Nor-ch-ee-ah)

he birthplace of Humanity, and one of the five populated continents that make up Astea. In the millennia that Humanity evolved on Nortia they did so largely in isolation from other species until Sylfwood Groves began to appear across the continent as the War of the Stars was being waged on Falyimoar. These groves brought with them many creatures that appeared similar to Humans, but with them they carried powerful magic which was often used for trickery and pranks, leading to Humans distrusting the foreign beings.


As the War of the Stars waged on the appearances of these groves only grew, and eventually massive groves appeared in the north of Nortia and the south Falyimoar, connecting them for a time. To travel between the continents you had to enter a gigantic tree that appeared in both locations which contained a magical circle which would transport you to the Feywild, from there you would travel across the land to another tree, which when passed through would bring you to the other continent.


After the Gods power was hidden away after the War of the Stars concluded these portals became disenchanted, with the gods no longer fighting the large tears between the realms mended themselves, with the only passage into the Feywild being be accident, or with powerful magic. Nortia is divided into many different countries, with most of them falling under the rule or kings and queens.

The Chalice of Revitalization

An ornate crimson chalice that possessed the ability to purify and heal ones body if they drink freshly spilt blood from it. In a matter of minutes of drinking from The Chalice of Revitalization the drinker's wounds will mend themselves, and their body will become more like that of their prime. The Chalice of Revitalization looses its effectiveness after one use and must be restored through a blessing performed by the leader of The Heart of the Titan in private. The chalice itself is covered in intricate grooves that lead to the bottom of the cup. When the cup is filled with blood it will flow through the grooves all over the chalice, but through some enchantment of sorts it never spills.

The Mind Breaker

An ornate mace engraved with ancient magic that is wielded by the head of The Titan's Mind as a ceremonial weapon. The Mind Breaker grants its wielder the ability to see into the thoughts of another person, however to do so they must first crack open the victim's skull. When someone's head is bashed in the wielder of The Mind Breaker can see that person's thoughts from the last day play out in front of them over the span of a few minutes.


Its believed that the leader of The Titan's Mind uses this weapon to peer into the Titan's scattered thoughts, and find clues to their resurrection. The mace itself was crafted from shards of the Titan's skull to form the head, and Heffemerron made from the Titan's bone marrow to form the shaft.

A massive crater from a prehistoric meteor strike located in eastern region of Glondanis. This crater is home to thousands of Goblinoids who live around the large lake at is base. These Goblinoids mine surface of the crater for its rich deposits of meteoric iron ore which they smelt into crude steel weapons and tools under the instruction of a dwarf they captured long ago. These tools have made the Ironbeard Tribe the strongest in Irkrant, the northern half of Glondanis, and has made them the largest economic center of the whole region.

The Thorillking Archipelago

A collection of islands off the southern coast of The Kingdom of Galmoer that was discovered in 352 during the exploration of the eastern coast of Falyimoar. On these islands there are hundreds of flora and fauna that cannot be found anywhere else on Falyimoar such as a plant whose bitter white seeds can be made in a rich dark shelf stable food that can be made into a drink.


When the islands were discovered they were completely abandoned, though they show a great many ruins of an ancient people who lived on the islands. Since their discovery the islands have become a hub for trade between Devlutte and the inner regions of Falyimoar because ships can sail around the coast rather that send convoys through the mainland. The islands also export plentiful goods that are often bought in advance by nobility across the continent.

Saline Huber

Begins in 1322, current year is 1376


My name is Saline Huber, though that name is known to no one. I was born out of wedlock to the 2nd son of Duke Sarnet Stranton Avermect and his maid, whom he eloped with and fled through The Kingdom of Phantonis to seek refuge in Devlutte when he found out she was pregnant. Enraged by the embarrassment he faced from this affair my grandfather sent scores of assassins after them for years. Through the years my parents delved into the arcane arts, studying with under The Titan's Mind while living on the outskirts of Devlutte to keep us a safe as they could with invisibility and alarm spells.


Every other month or so we would move to another part of the city, often in a hurry to keep others from following us. Though they were not allowed to per the law, they taught me every spell their knew, and even game me my own grimoire when I was just 6 years old and barely able to even read. Some time later a few weeks before my ninth birthday my parents and I were caught in a trap set by one of their first and closest friends in the city for money.


Their friend turned them over to the assassins who were to take them back to The Kingdom of Thaed to be presented before my grandfather. However when we were caught my mother turned me invisible and told me to run and not look back. My parents ran in the opposite direction she told me to run. I barely made it to the end of the street when I heard a cut off scream from behind me which drew my attention. When I turned I saw my mother stuck to a wall by a large spike of ice, a lone cloaked man holding his arm out towards her, and my father laying on the ground surrounded by a dozen slain men.


Seeing my parents in trouble I immediately ran back towards them, drawing the attention of the lone wizard. Seeing him alone, I focused on casting any spell that could hurt him, pouring all of my willpower into it I saw my fathers daggers rise into the air as the man began to approach me. In a flash the daggers were whirling around the man, cutting him all over his body before a blade stuck him in the heart and he dropped to the ground.


On that day I left Devlutte and returned to the main continent, and began to earn money by doing chores for farmers and townsfolk while I move around. Its been many years since my parents died, and I have yet to encounter a single assassin coming after me, but the routine of never staying in the same place for more than a couple months has stuck with me regardless of the threat to my life. Throughout my travels I have learned many more spells, and one day when I have become powerful enough to challenge an army I will return to The Kingdom of Thaed and avenge my parents.

Captains Log, Day 2

The Guild found us a party of adventurers brave or stupid enough come along for the journey. They look to be a fresh bunch of warriors whose only fights have been with the Rous in the sewers. They've been given a few bunks below decks, they were going to be next to the Emperors men but the bastards were bitching so much we had to move them next to the rowers. The new lads were helpful on the ship, offering to swab the deck for us, hoist the sail, tighten the mast and all, but they clearly had no clue what they were in for, I suspect the greater experience with a ship the tree of them have is from tall tales told after a few steins of beer. Still, they're hard working boys, much more than those royals who've been out drinking all morning while we've been getting ready to sail.


We set off late this morning when the last of the royals got back to the ship drunk as their fathers. If the Emperor hadn't sent these men I would have left them behind, no need for useless drunks on The Misty Titan. Our course should see us ahead of the storm blowing in from the north by a day or so, with any luck we'll slip by it before tomorrow's dusk.


We sailed through clear seas today, the royals sobered up quick once they hurled their guts overboard, and I had them following my men's instructions to keep the sails in order. One of the royals got into a bit of a tiff with one the adventurers over not addressing him right, so I had the both of them cleaning barnacles off the hull with poles all day. It looks like the storms going to pass behind us, but we're preparing for the worst.

By WhiteKran

Rhaelites

The group of people who comprise the majority of the The Order of Rachelis's clergy. Rhaelites typically have a malformation of the skin that causes it to have intense light and dark patches from birth, as the first prophet of Rachelis, King Charles Delair Falymos Propheta did. In the time of its infancy, The Order of Rachelis consisted of but a few members lead by the first king of Burgdalin's son during the early years of his adult life before his father's passing. Rhaelites primarily inhabit The Theocracy of Rachelis, and Eagris, often living in churches or buildings owned by The Order of Rachelis.

Day 218

By WhiteKran

Rous

A species of giant rats that inhabit swamps, sewers, farms, forests and damp dark areas. They are a common pest that can grow to the size of a black bear, but rarely live long enough to do so. New adventurers are often tasked with slaying infestations of Rous because they are more a hindrance than a threat. Often times there will be at least one request for an extermination in a sewer or basement posted no matter where you go, with requests only increasing in larger cities.

Day 217

By WhiteKran

The Gushant

A group of dark skinned nomadic Humans who inhabit the dunes of Sadrust. They travel the dunes with their livestock to keep them from overgrazing the limited resources the deserts provide. These people are the decedents of the humans who came journeyed into the vacant deserts after the land was cursed by an ancient sorcerer as retribution for the slaughter of the Eiser. The land was cursed to with infertility and drought, until there is justice for the Eiser, but such retribution has yet to be seen, which has left the land desolate for thousands of years. After the curse fell the land quickly became devoid of life, leaving only the empty buildings of the Eiser to be buried beneath the sand.

Agricultural Golems

A category of golem created for the purpose of agricultural use doing menial labor like pulling weeds, shooing pests, watering crops, plowing fields, and planting seeds. These golems are a product created and sold by The Artifaction Society directly. They come in many varieties for different purposes, some have many legs, arms and hands, while others may not have any at all. Most farms will have one or two golems if they can afford them, but many still use biological labor for the majority of tasks instead.


These golems often use the sun for their power generation, and as such fall dormant when the sun sets. More advanced golems can run without external energy for many years, but to make golems capable of such feats requires highly advanced technical abilities, which has consequently resulted in fewer of these more efficient golems being created and sold. Simply golems will follow simple commands and cannot speak. The more advanced the golem is the more complex commands and some are even capable of speech and intelligent thought.

Day 210

By WhiteKran

Census' of Burgdalin

The Empire of Burgdalin conducts a census every year with the aid of the The Order of Rachelis to gather information on their its population. The official reason for these census' is to gather information to make the process of bettering the Empire easier and more efficient, but in reality that is not all it is used for. During the process of taking the census hundreds of followers of Rachelis spread out across the Empire and gather information about the people living in the land. This information includes, what occupation someone is in, how many kids they have, their sex, their race, how much money they keep on hand, how much of a food supply they have, any disabilities or illnesses they have and specifically if they are cursed.


On of the cleric's primary duties is to locate Lycanthropes and capture them so that they can be executed and disposed of. The clerics that conduct the census are each equipped with a device that can determine if someone has Lycanthropy. These yearly checks pushes those with Lycanthropy to hide from the census collectors, which often means living on the run, or fleeing the Empires borders to a more friendly country like Devlutte or the northern regions of the continent like Sadrust or the Magical Exclusion Zone.


this is one of the reasons Vander is actively trying to get to Devlutte

Taergas

A gaseous species that inhabits The Crimson Fog. They appear to be invisible while still, but when they move through the mist or speak they glow a bright blue hue. These people were born from the fog when it was sprayed across the ocean and serve today as its guardians, keeping it alive and maintaining it's borders. The Taergas's society is driven through the need to protect their home The Crimson Fog so that it will continue to protect them, because without this blanket of the fog they believe that they would be slain by the massive beasts that attempt to invade their home.


These beasts are massive brown monsters whose faces will not show any sign of pain, even when they are sinking to their death. These terrible beasts who carry smaller monsters upon their backs that will attack all within sight with their terrifying roars and large rocks. These horrible beasts are non other than humans riding upon their ships, who have become entranced by the singing of the Taergas as they work to maintain their home.

Sephtiyrs

Not to be confused with Satyrs or centaurs, the Sephtiyrs are a race of humanoids that have been seen mixed with any Bovidae. The origins of these people's are possible some type of folklore.


There are two kinds. Primal and Noble. The Primal variation is most common. The race native to disparate. The noble variation is much newer, coming with the taming or teaching of these people. Both are quite separate in behavior amd looks. But, whatever you do, don't piss them off.


Noble are more, well, Noble. Their pelts are more time and fine. They speak easy and are cleaner.


Primal are rougher looking, speach is harsh and they have more animalistic features.

Faudain

A type of omnivorous creature that is found on the outskirts of the Magical Exclusion Zone that takes the form of a horned prey animal such as a deer, bison or moose. These beasts ancestors were that of the beast they appear to be, but after the creation of the Magical Exclusion Zone they began to change in response to the sudden change, and began to prey upon the members of their herd, rather than foliage. These beasts have sharp pointed front teeth and flat round molars in the rear. They typically will stick with the same herd for months, surviving on plants and building trust with the herd before they lure a member of the herd away to slaughter.


After they have killed a member of the herd they become more blood thirsty, and begin to kill members of the herd with a greater frequency. Despite originating in around the Magical Exclusion Zone these beasts have expanded deep into the central plains, and have become a common issue for farmers, as these formidable beasts break into farms to devour the livestock, and occasionally the farmers themselves. As such there are often requests for adventurers or the town guard to stake out a farm and slay the beasts. Rarely these beasts have been found to form into herds of their own, where every member is a Faudain, and will hunt in small packs.

Day 204

By WhiteKran

Thamlin

Sister to Celeste, Thamlin is the mother of Lunaris and the Dwarves. She has dominion over all land of the Material Plane, and is the creator of countless planets. Thamlin is just as devote to her followers as they are to her, often granting the faithful blessings and the ability to wield her power. To her first Dwarves she gifted the gifts of resilience, stoutness and extended life. Deep within the The Fractal Caverns there is an ancient temple devoted to her which is guarded by living stone guardian who have created a great barrier of crystals to protect the temple.

Day 203

By WhiteKran

The Artifaction Society

A group of magical craftsmen that collaborate and research the nature of magic, and its applications. This organization spans much of the Empire and its sworn states, though it's membership is located most heavily in the eastern regions of the Empire. Members of The Artifaction Society typically went to The Grand Institute for Mystical Arts before joining, but anyone with sufficient magical ability and the proper certification may join.


Burgdalin invests quite heavily into promising members of The Artifaction Society because of their invaluable skills which can massively strengthen their military might. Members of The Artifaction Society typically do not have to present their work to the organization, and are free to do their work for whoever they please, which has resulted in a great number of nobles employing members of The Artifaction Society to create magical armor, weapons and items for them such as potions or a stove that will light itself upon command.

The Library of Aegrot

An ancient library that exists in a demi-plane that lies outside of space and time which was created by the god of knowledge Aegrot. This library has entrances all across the Material Plane, that appear and disappear seemingly at random. Entry to the library is barred to any who cannot give an offering of wisdom which does not yet exist in the library, be it a grimoire, a method of harvesting plants or simply a poem. Those who have found themself in the library say that it contains a single librarian, though no one can ever seem to agree on what they look like. This ever-growing library contains the knowledge of countless generations, and is a heavily sought after location to visit by scholars who seek to expand their studies.


Throughout the library skeletons, corpses and ghosts can be found wandering its halls, looking for their next book to read. With their souls trapped within the demi-plane until they are freed, many ancient scholars simply possess or manipulate their own dead bodies so that they may continue their research, some going so far as to kill themselves long before the end of their natural lifespan, so that they need not worry about eating or sleeping.

Alcohol Legislation

The legal consumption of alcohol throughout Falyimoar is extremely varied with many states having different ages and requirements that must be met before one can drink alcohol. The Empire of Burgdalin's law states that humans must be at least 21 years of age before they can purchase alcohol, or consume it outside of their own home and without the presence of a parent or guardian.


Elves, Tieflings, Gnomes and most other races living in Burgdalin cannot purchase alcohol until they at least 21 years old. with the main exceptions being Dwarves and Dragonborn. Dwarves are naturally heavy drinkers with a high tolerance for alcohol, as such most Dwarves will begin drinking as young as 5 years old, because it does not have a substantial effect on them. Dragonborn can begin drinking at age 16.


The Theocracy of Rachelis bans the consumption of alcohol for recreational purposes outright. The only legal sale of alcohol within the region its for medicinal and religious purposes.


Devlutte is one of the most lax on alcohol consumption, but heavily taxes the sale of it. The drinking age for all humanoids in Devlutte is 16, with the only exceptions being Dwarves, Goblins and Kratins. Goblins and Kratins drinking age is lower in respect to when they reach maturity, and given how short their lives are in comparison to many other races. Within Devlutte the production of alcohol for commercial use requires a certification from The Wittebanes and a permit from the Devlutte Merchants Guild.


In Misteltal there is no formal legislation on the sale or consumption of alcohol, but culturally it is reserved those greater than 100 year, with those younger only being allowed partake in it during grand festivities.

A rare type of cursed magical item that bonds to and replaces a person's eye, imbuing it a magical effect, such as the ability to Identify magical effects instantaneously, the ability to petrify anything that looks into the eye, and some have the ability to charm who gazes into their eyes. These eyes are exceptionally rare, and can only be obtained from the corpse of someone who the eye was bonded too, or by taking the eye out of them like you would a glass eye. It is unknown where these eyes came from, but they are suspected to be Divine Relics, gifted to the Gods chosen few.

The Titan's Mind

A religious sect that worships the 'titan', a fallen god whose body was left discarded on Astea during the War of the Stars. This sect lies deep within the northern reaches of The Catacombs of Aedrikz, through the spine into the skull. The followers of The Titan's Mind believe that the titan's mind still lives, through not in the traditional sense of the word. Unlike the followers of The Heart of the Titan who believe that the titan needs to be revived from death, the followers of The Titan's Mind believe that the titan's soul is fragmented and trapped, with the largest piece of it lying somewhere to the far east.


The Titan's Mind claim to have a fragment of the titan's soul, through which their leader can converse directly with the titan, and that through them the titan gives orders to its followers. The Titan's Mind is constantly at work to collect the spinal fluid of the titan, the conduit through which the titan's soul can be accessed. To speak to the titan, their leader submerges themselves in the titan's spinal fluid alongside the fragment of its soul, a process which puts them into a dreamlike state where they can communicate.

Day 192

By WhiteKran

The Heart of the Titan

A religious sect that worships the 'titan', a fallen god whose body was left discarded on Astea during the War of the Stars. Their organization lies deep within the The Catacombs of Aedrikz, laying claim to the arteries and heart of the titan's corpse. The titan's arteries serve as a means of transit throughout most of the body, with many rooms carved from its petrified flesh. When the titan was felled most of their blood was expelled from their body, spraying all across Falyimoar, causing many creatures that were once mundane to become powerful, and monstrous. The titan's blood is responsible for many strange phenomena across the land and sea, such as The Crimson Fog where his blood fell like rain, carried by the winds it still lingers in the eastern air as thick red fog, filled with unimaginable horrors empowered by the fog.


On the borders of The Crimson Fog lie scattered islands which are home to powerful beasts, and a rare mushroom called Blutpilz that is said to contain a concentrated form of The Crimson Fog. Deep within The Catacombs of Aedrikz lies the heart of the titan, where pools of liquid blood can still be found by those who search for them. The Heart of the Titan's goal is to ultimately resurrect the titan by gathering relics containing his power, and building him a new body. They believe that the world is unfit to exist in its current state, and needs the titan's judgment to cleanse it.

Day 191

By WhiteKran

The Titan's Bones

A religious sect that worships the 'titan', a fallen god whose body was left discarded on Astea during the War of the Stars. Unlike The Heart of the Titan and the The Titan's Mind, The Titan's Bones has dominion over the skeleton and musculature of the titan's corpse. Unfortunately for them however, the majority of this space is solid stone, having petrified over thousands of years. The members of The Titan's Bones mainly work as miners, excavating the magically dense bone marrow ore. which can be smelted into an flexible yet durable metal which is dark red in color and called Heffemerron.


Lower purities of this metal can be found all throughout Devlutte in construction and tools because it is fairly cheep to smelt, though it requires the aid of many fire elementals forge. Pure Heffemerron is extremely valuable and expensive to produce, this is because of its high melting point, durability, and magical properties of enhancing spell effectiveness when casting, and dampens magical effected used on it, making it a highly sought after resource for the wealthy, nobles and Mages, who was to use it offensively and defensively.

Powerful (and typically quite old) spellcasters dedicated to the study of the arcane arts. Benevolent often ones counsel kings and queens, while evil ones rule themselves as tyrants, often pursuing Lichdom. Those who care not for the squabbles of the average person and choose sequester themselves in remote towers to practice their magic without interruption. An archmage typically has one or more apprentice mages, and an Archmage's abode typically has numerous magical wards and guardians to discourage interlopers.


The most ancient Archmages have watched as centuries flew by them, how magic evolved, and broke down, most of the Archmages who have lived for such a length while devoted to the study of the arcane possess powerful forbidden magic that has been lost to the majority of the world.

Captains Log, Day 1

Tomorrow we are to set off upon the Misty Titan in search of the lost vessel The Sirens Song near the coasts of The Crimson Fog. Its a risky endeavor, but should all go well and we find what ever the Emperor wants us to bring back from that sunk ship, we wont ever have to sail so close to the fog again. We would have left port today on account of the good weather, but those blast adventurers the guild assigned abandoned us when they heard out heading. The Guild said they'll find us some fighters by tomorrow, but if we don't get out ahead of the storms, we wont be able to see a dammed thing out on the sea, so we might as well risk it with the men the Emperor sent us. I don't trust them royal bastards one bit.

The Shaertoul

A physically imposing and ruggedly built race that are born deep within the depths of The Fractal Caverns from stalagmites. When a Shaertoul is born they are alone, with no parents to guide them. Eventually after wandering the dark caverns with their stony body they will begin to feel the vibrations of Chromplipids silently shaking the ground beneath them. Drawn to this new impulse they search for its source, eventually finding their way to a Chromplipid city. Most Shaertoul stick around these cities for the first few decades of their lives, learning languages, traditions and cultures, while acting as guardians for the cities in exchange.


While growing into adulthood a Shaertoul's appearance will change dramatically, going from a fragile and rough to resilient and polished, with intricate carvings etched into their body that pulse with an otherworldly light. Once a Shaertoul has reached adulthood they join with a section of the city they have grown with, and depart with it to settle a new region of the caverns. These guardians can rarely be found journeying through The Fractal Caverns with a colony of Chromplipids riding upon their back.

By WhiteKran

The Waylands

A mysterious realm between planes that draws in unsuspecting souls, dead and alive, seemingly at random, snatching people from different times and locations, regardless if they could have naturally met otherwise. The Waylands appear to be a part of the Material Plane, but quickly after entering The Waylands gains an ever-growing sense that they are not in their old world. Time does not feel as though it passes here, and the sun in this realm doesn't move, but merely sits in the sky, shining down upon ground. Food here doesn't breakdown, the wind doesn't blow, the rain doesn't fall, the clouds never move, all that changes is the people who come to The Waylands. The Waylands themselves are composed of a constantly growing group of floating islands that orbit around a red star.


When a new island appears it often brings with it outsiders, who are first entering The Waylands. Those who have been sucked into The Waylands cannot truly perish nor age, nor need to eat nor breath; any injury they suffer will heal itself in just a few moments, making death not even an option of escape. That is not to say there is no danger within The Waylands. In fact there are a great many of dangers, from acidic swamps, hungry beasts, ancient creatures, and greatest of all, other people. It is unknown what will happen to you if you fall off one of the islands, as no one who ever did has returned, but it is suspected that they simply float through space forever. Though your body will always regenerate, you can still be harmed, and in effect tortured for great lengths of time.


Waylanders are people who have been forced to live in this bizarre realm. They come in all species, ages and genders, but what unites them are two things, the memory of the lives they once had, and the memories they can create. In this realm the only thing that breaks down is the mind, at first you are able to keep track of how long you have been their, you remember who you were before you got here, and the people you knew in your life, but after a while without your notice, those memories begin to fade. It begins with ordinary things, you might forget the word for something, or what someone looked like, but eventually you will forget who you even are, this makes having other people who remember who you are all the more important, so that they can remind you of things you have forgotten. Every person who comes into The Waylands knows one thing about it when they arrive, there is something they have to do to escape, but how one person might escape is different than how another might. Some must overcome some psychological trial, while other must achieve a great physical feat.

Weremimics

An odd form of Lycanthropy that unlike others, has many forms they can turn into. Weremimics can appear as a normal humanoid at will regardless if they are shifted or not, and can change the shape of their body as they wish, so long as the form they transform into does not exceed the mass of their original form. Weremimics can also grow larger indefinitely as long as they continue to eat and produce a very sticky substance that can be used to trap their prey. While shifted into an object a Weremimic will be visually indistinguishable from an inanimate one until they move.

Ecology of the Magical Exclusion Zone

All manner of being that lived in what became the Magical Exclusion Zone were irrevocably changed when the weapon was deployed. Magical creatures lost their powers, and many simple became mundane beasts who merely resembled their former body. Spirits who lingered in the Material Plane became bound to the objects, but unable to manifest themselves within the Magical Exclusion Zone they have almost no hope of escape in the near future. All life within the Magical Exclusion Zone has gone through rapid change over the years since the bomb dropped, plants and animals alike have had to adapt to their new environment or perish as many have.


Some predators who relied upon their magical abilities to hunt their prey have found themselves unable to sustain themselves, which has lead to many predators to become more omnivorous, though on the other side prey have found themselves in a suddenly much less hostile environment, which has lead to many prey developing a more carnivorous diet which takes advantage niche left behind by the former predators. Many humanoid races left the exclusion zone after the explosion, which has caused it to become a much more wild place, filled with wild beasts and thick vegetation which makes traversing its mountains a precarious and arduous task.

Freihao

A was a small city roughly 10 miles away from Bunda that was abandoned 56 years ago in the year 1320 by the remnants of its population after a plague of Inkblight wiped out most of its inhabitants. When the plague broke out the Inkblight quickly overtook the city in a matter of days, and soon became too widespread for the clerics of who lived there to handle. Not willing to risk the infection spreading to the capital King Phillip Delair Phries Enfer's father, King Ambrose Delair Phries Enfer, ordered for the quarantine of Freihao in hopes of staving off the epidemic.


Trade routes were closed and no-one was allowed in or out of the city for over a year without the accompaniment of a cleric who must cure them before they were allowed to travel away, which resulted in only the wealthy escaping the plague. Being sat atop a hill near the forest, Adora Lovat's home was isolated from the city, and consequently was not reached by the plague, as the Lovats lived off a small farm and scavenging in the woods for berries, mushrooms, wild vegetables and wild fruit. By 1328, Freihao was nearly abandoned except for the Lovats, with almost all of its inhabitants either having died, or fled.

The Well of Memory

A mystical well that sits boarded up at the base of a hill outside Bunda, near the ruins of a city called Freihao abandoned by its inhabitants. To most this well simply appears as any other, but should you gaze into its depths you will become compelled to dive into them. Should you do so you will become engulfed in memories long buried within your mind, memories often better left forgotten. In the ruins of Freihao lives but one inhabitant, an old woman in a two story house that lies atop the hill near the well, which she has boarded up and claims that her twin sister drowned in, despite no one ever recovering a body from the well.

Goblins

Goblins are a race of small humanoids that generally live much shorter lives that other humanoids, reaching adulthood around 9 years old and with an upper limit to their lifespan lying around 60 years of age. They can have a wide variety in skin tones, hair colors and textures, most often having reddish-orange or green skin with black or brown hair. Goblins were one of the first races to inhabit Phaedra, alongside the other Fae after the fall of the Eiser and rise of Humans across the continent. Unlike many of the other Fae who found permanent homes and established large territories for themselves, many Goblins were not able to do so and instead became a part of many Human and Dwarven cities as lower class citizens because they were well suited for manual labor in mines due to their small stature.


Despite this trend, there were a few groups of Goblins that managed to claim their own territory within Falyimoar with the aid of other goblinoids, such as Bugbears, Hobgoblins, and Varags. The land of the Goblins, Glondanis, is state united under a single name, but functions more as a collection of city-states that act independently. This division has resulted in a low quality of life for most that live in Glondanis, often pushing many to steal and kill just to survive. Many goblins do not live as second class or in Glondanis however, and instead form small villages throughout Falyimoar, and often live in conflict with other towns that are in the same area.


The Adventure's Guild in nearly every city and town will have a notice about exterminating Goblin dens before they can develop into villages, because they pose substantial risk to travelers. Some Goblin villages have managed to reach agreements with The Adventure's Guild for an armistice under the condition that travelers will not be harmed and that they not encroach on settles territory, but these agreements often fall apart soon after they are crafted. Goblin can usually be found in caves, abandoned towns and dense forests. Because of Goblins quick rise to adulthood it is not uncommon for there to be at least five generations of Goblins living together in a single village at once, but once the village's population grows too large the younger generations will leave their villages early in their lives and search out a new location to live

Saedratmer

(say-dra-t-mur)


Ghostly serpents that live in the Ethereal Plane but frequently pass into the Material. These serpents are the spawn of Dendar the Night Serpent, a Primodial being who is as old as dreams themselves. To survive Saedratmers must travel through the veil between planes and implant themselves into the minds of their prey so that they may induce tormenting nightmares to feast upon. Consequently however, if a mortal sleeps through the night fully they will not remember their nightmare as the memory of it was devoured along side the anguish caused by it. If someone is waken from their slumber however they will remember their nightmare in its entirety, some of which are terrible enough to cause an impact that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.


For the most part, the Saedratmer remain unknown to most aside from Fey, who might encounter them directly within their mind while within a trance and have to fight them off, or face having their mind become consumed. These creatures are invisible to those who cannot see into the Ethereal Plane, and can only be harmed by non-physical attacks unless forced into the Material Plane.

Moargrim bestows each of their clerics with a replica of The Horn of Gleidon once they have become fully committed to their faith and become a Moargrimler. The Horn of Gleidon is said to sound like thousands of high-pitched distorted cries clashing with one another, distorting the message they are screaming. Replicas of The Horn of Gleidon only have a portion of the power possessed by the original, and as such can only command a few hundred undead at a time and cannot cause plants and animals to wither with its call.

The Witching Hat

A magical hat that belonged to an ancient witch who was killed for her heinous acts against the people of Burgdalin. During her life this witch practiced the art of breathing live into the inanimate, and greatly advanced the field of Somaturgy (golem making). She would often animate simple objects that she used in her everyday life, such as her cloths, so that they may dress her, her hearth, so that it will light when she asks, and her hat, so that it may keep the sun from her eyes. As she grew in power so did her golems independence, until one day they could make choices of their own. After her death many of her creations lost their desire to live, and simply let themselves erode away, the oldest of them all however, the witches hat, wanted to live, to create, and to learn; To learn to be a witch.


With its creator laying dead beneath them, the hat drew upon the decades it had spent watching its creator raise the inanimate, and create new life, and breathed life back into the body of its creator, fleeing from those who had slain it. This body did not last long as the hat did not know how to keep it truly alive, and so it molded a new body from mud and stone around the bones of its creator, and began its journey to becoming a person, and create a true body of its own. Centuries later, this hat still wanders Falyimoar under the name Thalia (Thalia Delair Falymos) the name of her creator, following leads of the ancient magic of the Gods, so that they may learn from them, and how they created true life.

Session Log 4/4/2024

fter charging through the snow at full charge for many days and nights, the majority of The Legion of Light arrived at Merire without issue, or Schmebulock. Whilst they were traveling after Schmebulock's disappearance, he reappeared two days later from the Astral Plane in the forests surrounding Schmidplung and retrieved his warhammer and dagger from the smithy. Finding himself abandoned he set off in the direction of Bunda, believing he may find them there. Along the way he found a Morihito who had be caught in the snow storms, and was on the brink of death. He approached the elf, poking them in the foot with a stick, which jostled them awake. Overcome with the feeling of a burning heat the elf attempted to free himself from his clothes, but was stopped by Schmebulock stuffing them in his bag of holding and using The Poprock to send himself to the Astral Plane.


Arriving in back in The Court of Eternal Judgment, which he found empty. Seeing the court members chairs were too high to reach (50 feet up) he looked around for a while, exploring the endless void he found himself in once again, only finding a control panel with an array of 13 buttons, one of which is colored red and under a glass cover. Looking for the most worn button he found one near the center and pressed it, which just turned off the lights in the room. He then pressed the least worn button which turned the lights back on. At this point he remembered he had a person in his bag of holding and dumped them out on the invisible floor before pressing a third button, which began sounding an alarm until he quickly pressed it again (this is their alarm to come back after a recess).


Schmebulock and the elf began hearing footsteps from all directions (even up, down and diagonals) that grew closer as they approached until they converged upon each of the floating pedestals, revealing the presence of 7 massive goat-like beings dressed in the clothing of The Legion of Light, as well as one other person who Schmebulock doesn't recognize who appears to have red hair. Hearing their approach Schmebulock attempted to hide behind the room control panel, but unwittingly hid on the side facing them, putting him in full view. 'What are you doing back here so soon? Have you captured them yet?' the central goat who is dressed as Ingra Harrik said to Schmebulock, to which he attempted to lie saying 'I am the electrician!', which they all very clearly saw as a lie. Staring into Schmebulock's eyes the goat dressed as Ingra Harrik teleported directly in front of Schmebulock's face and asked him again why he was here, to which he responded by kissing the goat (rolled a nat 20 or a charisma check again against the same goat as last time), and was astral projected alongside the elf into the back of The Legion of Light's wagon, seeing sleeping elves, a tiefling, and a bear being drawn by two warhorses with a ball of fire lighting their way.


As quick as they appearing in the wagon they were sucked back into the Astral Plane in front of the goats. Noticing the elfsicle standing beside Schmebulock, one of the goats (which look like rabbits dressed as different people to the elf) began questioning him about his affiliation with Schmebulock (elf was stubborn, wouldn't answer question properly, keep avoiding answering, got mind read instead and was sent back to the Material Plane). Addressing the goat who is dressed as Ingra Harrik, Schmebulock asked to be sent back to his companions alongside the elf, but for the elf to be half their height, so that the elf and Schmebulock would be the same height.


Arriving at Merire The Legion of Light found a village made of houses built into the massive trees that make up the forest that is inhabited by the Eskow, a race of small fur covered humanoids. At the front gates the party was asked a few questions by two guards wielding spears almost triple their height, such as where they coming from, why they were here, how many were in there party and how long they would be staying. After answering these questions Lucia asked if magic was legal here, to which the guard stood straight while looking past her, and gave a formulaic response that magic is legal here so long as they have permits, but then he approached her, laying his spear against the wagon so he could climb up it to whisper in her ear 'if no one sees something, did it happen? Follow the laws, and keep certain activities away from prying eyes and we wont have any problems', before hopping down and returning to his post.


Calling out to the wagon he spoke, 'There are some camp grounds and cabins off to the east along the edge of the forest that you are welcome to use. You are welcome in town so long as you don't cause trouble and may stay so long as you pay your keep. And so, The Legion of Light took their wagon over to clearing and began to make camp. Mere moments after they had finished their camp, with Vander cooking a meal, and the party resting around a fire, Schmebulock and the elf appeared out of nowhere, startling Angel, triggering there magic to run wild, and making it so just as they were going to yell as Schmebulock their words were instead replaced by vibrant pink bubbles.


Spotting a redheaded woman standing at a cabin roughly 150-feet away collecting firewood, Schmebulock decided he would try to spook the horses (one of which is Amelia) so that they would run away and trample her. In his attempt he slammed his warhammer into the wagon, shattering the rear axel, and failing to spook the horses. A brief argument broke out between Lucia and Schmebulock, which ended in Schmebulock agreeing to pay for the axel. He then walked over to the woman and asked is she needed any help, to which she asked him to fell a tree for her. Still bent on murdering this woman for some reason Schmebulock attempted to pushed the tree onto the woman with his final blow, but when he broke the final piece holding up the tree it fell down in such a way that it fell towards him. Seeing this Amelia charged towards him while still in the from of a warhorse in an attempt to push him out of the way, but failed, and was pinned to the ground by the tree as it landed on him, shattering his arm and pinning him to the ground as well. Taking heavy damage Amelia was forced out of her wildshape, as was seen by two druids who too returned to their natural forms and the redheaded woman.


Quickly there after Schmebulock and Amelia had Sleep cast on them, knocking them out as the redheaded woman and the druids ran towards town to get help. The rest of The Legion of Light who was not trapped under the tree rushed over and managed to push the tree off of Schmebulock just before the village clerics arrived. Once free from the tree Amelia rushed over to Schmebulock and began casting healing magic to heal his arm which had been shattered and dislocated. Just after she healed him partially the clerics from the village arrived along side the two druids, and began healing him, fixing his arm completely then stomping on it while holding his arm down to relocate it.


Once he was healed Amelia walked over to the druids and began questioning them. She learned that these two druids were elves named Peregrine and Briar who were guarding and traveling with a merchant named 'Min' that was going to depart for Bunda in a few days once the weather improved, that there were several bounties upon Amelia, notably, one by her parents for 500 platinum and the combination of several bounties totaling for around 5,000 platinum by the The Kingdom of Galmoer for the destruction of state property, arson, murder and various other crimes. Peregrine proposed since The Legion of Light was traveling to Bunda, that they might accompany them along their journey for added protection and entertainment, to which Amelia agreed.

Not much is known about this dragonborn. There are many rumors about him, however. Some say he's lived as long as a true dragon, some say he's a god, others say he's not real.


Gridorial is very real. If desired, he can be found in the capitol, Auragos. He leads the royal guard as protector to the king. He's found guarding the walls despite his role, as his fierce fighting style and ever growing courage make him a great repellant for those seeking to cause harm.


If you ask him, fighting on the front lines is the perfect place to be.

Consumption

A mysterious disease that primarily effects humanoids and gradually consumes its victims from the inside out over a lengthy period of time, often a year passes by before they are fully consumed. This disease devours the muscle and fat of its victims, usually beginning with the extremities, only leaving behind skin, bone and blood. Because of this victims of this disease typically loose their ability to walk and use their hands early on into its development, restricting their access to temples where a cleric might be able to heal them. Survivors of this disease rarely live for long, often due to their limited mobility. Consumption spreads rapidly in small and impoverished communities, sometimes wiping them out completely within a year.

Magic in Medicine

All throughout Falyimoar there are numerous kinds of healers, though most are clerics of Rachelis that reside within the The Theocracy of Rachelis that rely on spells bestowed upon them by their god to heal the wounded and ill. Recently however, in the Empire of Burdalin there has been a rise in non-clerical healers, that instead focus on utilizing non-nonmagical methods to preserve life. A prominent method that has been spreading amongst researchers of these methods is the utilization of Mage Hand to dislodge stuck objects from patients airways and to restart their heart after death by manually pumping it by squeezing it with Mage Hand. Currently this is an very new field that has had very few successes using these unconventional methods alone.

The Magical Exclusion Zone

During the War of the Stars an immensely powerful weapon of mass destruction was deployed by a unknown being, a weapon powerful enough to murder a gods true form. This weapon was used against Jötnar in his celestial plane while he puppeteered a mortal form on Phaedra as a means to sever the connection between his true form and his mortal body.


The Magical Exclusion Zone is an area in the Eisige Mountain Range just north of The Central Plains where there is a constant anti-magic field in affect, any spells, magical abilities, enchanted or curse items will loose their affects while within the confines of this region, making it a common safe haven for lycanthropes and other cursed individuals seeking asylum.

Sylfwood Groves

Dense thickets of strange twisting trees that grow seemingly at random in many forests all throughout Astea. They go almost as quickly as they come, appearing seemingly overnight, then disappearing a few days later, leaving no trace they had ever been there. These groves are often home to strange flora and fauna that at first glance do not feel as though they belong in this realm. Those that dare to venture into these mysterious groves often do not return, but those that do tell of spending weeks, months, years trapped inside of a strange land full of shifting terrain and living trees when only a short time had passed on the Material Plane.


Others tell of the opposite, saying they were only within this land for a day or so, but when they returned they found that weeks or months had passed while they were away. Within the Sylfwood Groves resides a place where the very grass you walk upon might rise up to eat you, the stones of a mountain might speak to you or the water you drink might offer you conversation, resides with in is a land of unspeakable wonders and perils, a land of the true fairies. In this place their is no sun, but a constant illumination as if a sun resided just beyond the horizon.


Travelers to this strange world say that while here it felt as if everything was incredibly vibrant, smells more intense, sound more precise, lights were brighter, shadows were deeper, colors more vivid, and it felt as though there desires were more intense and difficult to control, rising to the surface of their mind with ease. The environment of this realm seemed to transform in response to their emotions and serve to amplify them. The cheerful's path was full of adventure and whimsy, while the despondent's was full of peril and challenge. The path you bare in this realm is you own to travel, and yours to decide.

Sudim

An Ancient King of Phaedra who was driven mad by an insatiable greed for wealth after an expedition to slay an Ancient Dragon and capture its hoard. Not long after the expeditions success the once kind and generous king became cruel and consumed with avarice. He rose the taxes upon the land, plunging even the wealthy to the brink of poverty, crippling his kingdom in a matter of years, opening it up to invasion. While his villages burned, his castles crumbled and his people were slaughtered, he did nothing, for he could not bare to part with any amount of his vast wealth. But eventually the wars grew to close to his castle, hidden away in the lair of the dragon he slew, and to keep his hoard he resorted to using ancient ritual known as the Ceremony of Endless Night.


In the dead of night, Sudim snuck into the chamber of his only daughter and heir, and with the full moon above he drove his dagger through her temple, killing her instantly while he drank a deadly potion, breaking his soul free from his body so that it may escape into the now vacant skull of his daughter, and revive his body with an ethereal tether connecting it to his new phylactery carved from the skull of his child. However as his new body began to decay he envied the unchanging nature of his gold, and so he began to replace the bones of his new body with just that.


Once his bones were gold he began forging muscles, tendons, ligaments, everything he would need to create the perfect body for himself, even crafting a brain, despite it serving no purpose for him. Finally once he finished his body he began to ordain it with jewels and inferior metals. As the centuries went by he grew restless in his hoard, finding it increasing to small, and so he departed his perfect body in favor of a disposable one, and left his hoard for the first time in hundred of years. Though he was gone for only a few years when he returned with his pilfered riches he found thieves had snuck into his treasury and stolen from his hoard. In a fit of rage at this theft he cursed his hoard so that any who stole from him again should face the punishment of become a piece of his hoard, an eternal golden servant, who will serve at his every command.

Deep in the woods of Disparate is a clan of Feral Gnomes. They behave like animals and tend to show and execute cannibalistic behavior towards fellow humanoids. They'll eat anything. But oddly enough, the one thing they will not eat is spiders and each other.


They act sophisticated within their own society and worship some odd Gnome with an oversized war hammer on the back of a Giant WolfSpider.


They never go more than 200 yards away from their home, so the people within the capitol are usually safe


Doom is the day those Gnomes expand their borders.

Grimdrasil

A once elegant and brilliantly designed city of the elves, great architects and craftsman filled the elven city with life and excellence, but not long after the war it all changed.


Grimdrasil used to the capitol of the elves on Disparate, used to, because the entire population of the city has disappeared without a trace as a thick smog and forest has over taken a majority of the forest and it's surrounding. Vicious things lurk in the massive woods.


Anyone who's dared go in has yet to come out.


Whatever is in there, it does not take kindly to strangers.

The Great Abyss

Those that survived the walls of The Crimson Fog tell of an island with an endless chasm carved into the center of its land with channels of the ocean pouring into it. The closer you get to this island the more you feel drawn to its go upon its shores and descend into The Great Abyss that lies with in its thick jungles. Within the the overgrown thicket there is a civilization that live off the land and sends explorers to explore The Great Abyss to discover the secrets of the ancient people who lived within its depths. The Great Abyss can by separated into seven layers, each with their own maladies and challenging ecology.


Every layer of The Great Abyss is subject to the 'curse', a magical barrier that causes explorers to suffer various injuries that grow with severity the deeper you descend. While you simply descend you will not be afflicted by the curse, only suffering its attacks if you attempt to ascend back up to the surface. At first the effects are minor, such as an upset stomach and a headache, but grow far more severe at lower levels, some depths causing the rapid expansion of ones blood vessels starting at the extremities, eventually causing death when the curse reaches the heart. Ascending slowly with frequent breaks can mitigate the effects of the curse, allowing one to escape should they be willing to make the trek. Alternatively teleportation is a viable way of ascending without suffering the effects of the curse, however some regions of The Great Abyss mysteriously block the usage of magic for unknown reasons.

Exploitation of the Weakened Mind

The weakened can be anyone who has lost hope, and has an immense desire for rescue or freedom, or someone who has been pushed to the point of loosing or almost loosing their connection to reality. Demons, Devils, Gods, Fey, powerful creatures and eldritch beings beyond description take advantage of this disconnection from reality to impress their will upon the weakened, sometimes without the target even consciously knowing. These beings often make offerings of the power to escape their figurative or literal shackles in exchange for something later on, often leaving what will be required vague or untold. Deals made in this manner often benefit the patron more than the weakened, requiring them to go to extreme lengths to fulfill their end of the bargain. Those who have been chosen by these beings often become renown, either for their generosity, or their cruelty. Some become great sages, known for their boundless wisdom, while others become religious leaders, or bring destruction to the world around them.

Day 133

Messages from Beyond

The multiverse; a system overlapping and intersecting planes of existence. Where did it come from? None know for certain but some purport that the worlds began with an infinitesimal spark of existence in an infinite nothingness that grew into the first god, who forged the realms using the flames from the spark. Some believe this spark is still burning, ever growing. Many scholars claim to have found traces of an ancient message being sent through every plane regularly. Where this message is coming from is a curiosity to all, because it appears to originate from inside every plane, and outside of them all at the same time. Those who have attempted to brave the journey to the origin of this signal have found themself unsuccessful so far. All who have gotten close to the origin of the message have found themselves faced with a imposing luminescent tower. This tower occasionally disappears when not being observed, returning with dust on it that doesn't resemble that of its own environment.

The Fall of the Holy

Following ones death on the material plane and arriving in their gods domain, some gods will give the opportunity to the soul to become a celestial, or remain as a disembodied soul in their domain.

If they have become corrupted since their initial death they will be cast into damnation, often being sent to the Nine Hells where they will become a Devil or to The Abyss where they will become a Demon or be consumed. Ordinary Angels can also become Devils should they become corrupted before perishing outside their home plane, reforming in the Lower Planes, or if they are cast out by their creator.

A small bird sized beast that has six wings that move rhythmically so that three wings are always up and down. These creatures appear to be made of an illuminous blue vapor that trails off of them, like the tail of a comet. They are solitary creatures that have never been observed gathering in groups larger than three while in the wild. When bound as a familiar these beasts make excellent loyal companions that will sustain themselves with very little upkeep, only requiring water and air to survive. The whole body of these beast is normally comprised of various gasses, but any part of its body can be changed to a solid state at will, allowing them to grasp onto objects.

The Eiser

In the ancient past, when Falyimoar had a much colder and inhospitable temperament and bore the name Phaedra, a race of giant humanoids lived across all of Phaedra. Lead by their gods they waged frequents wars with one another, and giants took to building massive fortresses all across Phaedra. In their fight for conquest, a group of the southern giants tamed massive flying beasts, giving them rule over the skies. The remnants of these giants societies and the scares of their battle can be found all around the continent. Accompanying the disappearance of the giants came the rise of the smaller humanoid races. They came from distant lands across the sea, having out grown the resources of their old homes, they journeyed in search of a new place to call home. Finding a war torn but plentiful land these new peoples sought to end the conflict between the giants, by any means possible./p>

They quickly went to work creating settlements on the shores, which spread further inland with each passing year. Taking over the ruins of the fallen cities of the Eiser. As the years went on the Eiser's numbers dwindled as their gods began to favor peace over endless war. Because the Eiser's lives spent in constant war they could not go long without war breaking out again, incurring the wrath of their gods. Their cities fell one by one, reclaimed by the wilderness. While the last cities of the Eiser were falling Phaedra had become racked with plague, drought, famine and harsh winters.


Raised in a wasteland of ruin a human warrior arose amongst the people. Bent on finding a way to the chamber of the gods to seek their audience, and plead for them to restore the world, killing any who stood in the way of her reaching the chamber. Having fought her into the chamber where the gods are said to lie, she found it empty, determining the Gods had truly abandoned them. Enraged by this discovery she left their temple went out amongst the peoples of Phaedra, preaching of the gods abandonment. That the only way to return peace to their land is to vanquish the Gods and claim their power to use for the betterment of them all.

The Mistheli

Contrary to the Children of the Stars, it was the Mistheli's plan to slay the children of Sun and Moon, and one day, eliminate the gods to take power and mold the world into a better place for the mortals who had to live in it. The Mistheli often come into conflict with The Cult of the Blind Sun over Divine Relics in there pursuit to obtain the power of the gods. Over hundreds of years of their shared existence thousands have perished in battle over these relics, and hundreds more have been caught in the crossfire. This constant back and forth has ultimately kept both the Mistheli and The Cult of the Blind Sun from reaching their potential. Recently however the skirmishes between these groups has been decreasing, the leaders of these groups have decided that with the appearance of the Sun Child and Moon Child, they should work together to reshape the world.

Chihito (Blood Elves 血人)

The clan of the blood elves. These elves live in the north eastern reaches of Falyimoar in the mountains. The members of this clan live most of their lives in seclusion, with those who journey out preferring to live in secrecy, hiding their origins. These elves are the result of tens of generations of mages practicing the forbidden magics of Hemocraft and Necromancy, which has warped their minds and bodies. They have incredible control over their own blood-flow, allowing them to adapt to extreme environments much quicker than other races, at the cost of having to expend blood as a cost for their magics. Rather than using their own blood for this cost many Chihito choose to use the blood of other creatures, often using the blood from livestock that have been slaughtered already. An unfortunate downside of loosing to much of their own blood for the Chihito is that when this happens, they go into a frenzy where they will have overwhelming cravings to consume blood. To prevent this frenzy the Chihito have developed the ability to rapidly produce blood from digested blood. This leads to Chihito in societies that are not their own being feared and avoided, because of the fear that they will attack if they become to hungry.

Divine Relics

Divine Relics are relics, made by any of the gods, to release or store a large amount of power into an object. After spending long periods of time without using their powers to their full extent, the gods would have surges of overwhelming magical energy that could cause incomprehensible damage to themselves, the celestial plane they inhabit and the material plane. To prevent these calamities the gods have to use their power, by sharing it with their followers, or by condensing it into powerful objects. These objects can take on any form, from a diminutive pebble to a towering mountain. Because of the great range in how these object appear they can be difficult to identify or discover until their power is unleashed. Due to the nature of these relics they are most commonly created lesser know gods who need a way to vent off their power and by large gods looking to store their power so that they may retrieve when they are in need of it.

The Children of the Stars

Thousands of years ago, the three gods of the mortal skies were born to govern their domains. The Moon, the Sun, and the Stars. The Sun and the Moon quickly became enemies that would fight over who could rule the sky. Often they would orchestrate mortals to wage wars on their behalf, leading to periods of lasting darkness or light. The Stars, distant and impartial, did nothing but watch as the other gods squabbled for control of the skies.


The Stars, tired of the constant meaningless slaughter, demanded that the bloodshed must stop. It was time the two made peace, far to many had perished on their behalf, and the constant struggle for control caused to much chaos. The Moon and the Sun were reluctant at first, continuing to fight for a time, but possessing more control over the skies than the other two, they had no choice but to concede. They finally agreed, and with the help of the gods of the land and stars, they established balance to the land, replenishing life to the continent. This reformed land came to be called Phaedra.


After many years of peace, a woman named Mistheline snuck into the castle of the gods, slaughtered their disciples, and disappeared before dawn. Bewildered by the sudden attack the gods spent all of their effort on finding the culprit, but none was found. With their safety in jeopardy the gods came to the consensus that making a safe haven was the only way they had to be sure they would all be safe. But to prevent further deaths in their absence, the three gods in the sky devised a plan. Written into the stars in the language of the gods, '1,000 years shall pass, before two beings would descend to the land and defeat the adversary of the gods. The Child of the Sun, and the Child of the Moon. Should these children perish before defeating the adversary, they shall be born again after many centuries.'


The Stars began working on gathering a following of mortals soon after the shelter of the gods was finished, giving rise to the Children of the Stars, an order who knew that one day, it would be their job to guide the Sun Child and the Moon Child to safety.


Meanwhile, Mistheline had been growing a following of her own; the Mistheli. Contrary to the Children of the Stars, it was the Mistheli's mission to slay the children of Sun and Moon, and one day, eliminate the gods and take their power to mold the world into a better place for the mortals who had to live in it.

The official calendar used by the Burgian Empire. This calendar follows the a ten month cycle with each month having 36 or 37 days with odd number months have 37 days and even numbered days having 36 days. Every four years there is and extra day added to the calendar that is celebrated as an extra day at the end of the year.

By WhiteKran

The Cult of the Blind Sun

A religious group branching off from the Church of Solaris (a sun deity). Their primary belief is based around the idea that during solar eclipses, Solaris is temporarily 'blinded' and in this time he is vulnerable to attacks both from both the celestial and material. They believe that the church of Solaris is corrupt and that it need to be brought down. And what simpler way is there to crumbling a religious organization but to kill their god and replace it with one of your choice? Thus it is the mission of the Cult of the Blind Sun to travel to the celestial plane in which Solaris resides, and kill him.


During solar eclipses it is much easier for lesser beings to plane shift, or otherwise travel, into his plane and attempt to do him harm. While he is 'blinded', those who draw power from him will not be able to access most of their power if they solely draw their magic from Solaris or any celestials solely affiliated with the Sun.


Those afflicted with Lycanthropy will transform into their beast forms and have disadvantage on a DC 25 sanity check (Intelligence) if exposed to the shadow of the moon during the eclipse.

Festival of the Sun's Rebirth Pt 2

This festival is celebrated with a feast hosted by the whole village, with most dishes including preserved foods such as jams, jellies, pickled foods, honeys, as well as a flavorful herb that blooms on the day of the winter solstice, making it an elusive ingredient that must be dried from the last year or picked just before the feast.


Quite a few villages make an event out of gathering this herb, rewarding whoever can gather the most before the feast is cooked with the first dish of the feast, and a gift from the lord of the village. After the feast when night falls, the villagers all gather together and watch for a fallen star. When the first star of the night falls they watch where it falls, then they light candles and lanterns, marching towards where the star fell. Once the stars stop falling they create a small shrine to Solaris, offering all of their light to the sun king, to aid in his revival.

Festival of the Sun's Rebirth

Celebrated through out Burgdalin this holiday celebrates the winter solstice as the last day of the year, and the dawning of new year, and a new sun. In their belief the god of the sun, Solaris, dies the end of each year, being reborn each year, bringing a brighter and warmer season with him. This belief is used as a means to explain the changing of the seasons, with a reborn Solaris who grows in strength, thus warming the world, with the fall and winter being his decay into old age before his rebirth. There are some who believe that on the night of the solstice, if you follow the path of the first fallen star to its lowest point you will find a mighty phoenix that nurtures Solaris through his infancy, and if you offer the phoenix a special object it will reward you with a boon for aiding it in its journey to revive the sun king Solaris.

Common Diseases of Falyimoar

There are many diseases that plague the inhabitants of this continent. A few of the most well known diseases across Falyimoar are Cackle Fever, The Blue Death, Wirdholz, and Dragon Madness. These diseases are the most well known because they are known to affect most if not all humanoid races, and have decimated populations extremely quickly if not contained.


Cackle Fever
This disease targets humanoids, although gnomes are strangely immune. While in the grips of this disease, victims frequently succumb to fits of mad laughter.

Symptoms manifest 1d4 hours after infection and include fever and disorientation. The infected creature gains one level of Exhaustion that can't be removed until the disease is cured.



The Blue Death

An disease that causes vibrant blue bruises to form all across the victims body, inside in out. These bruises then develop into large blisters that pop in the victims lungs and drowning them in pus.

Symptoms manifest 1d6 days after infection and gains 1 level of Exhaustion for every day survive with the disease that can't be removed until the disease is cured.


Wirdholz

A magical disease that gradually replaces the victims body with wood, until they become a wooden statue that is incapable of speech or movement, but is still alive and aware. This disease is transmitted through bodily fluids, or if you get cut by the wood of the victim.

Symptoms being to manifest 1d20 hours after infection, beginning as a thickening of the skin in the infected area, the disease spreads 1d4 inches across the victims body every day.

The spread of the disease can be stopped, but not reversed. Leaving victims with large wooden patches that have replaced their flesh and skin. Until the disease has fully infected the host they retain a full range of motion and can still feel the texture and weight of objects though they cannot feel pain in the affected areas.


Dragon Madness

Dragon madness, despite what its name suggests, can be contracted by nearly all sufficiently intelligent creatures. This disease causes the victim to obsessively collect a type of object that is valuable to the victim. The disease stems from a curse laid upon a greedy dragon, who sought to hoard all the worlds riches and hide them away.

This disease spreads when a someone touches what a carrier of the disease values most in their collection. They become overwhelmed with in insatiable desire to collect and gather previous objects, and become paranoid that someone might steal them at a rate proportional to the size of their hoard.

Symptoms begin to manifest minutes after infection, notably marked by sudden nausea, dizziness, and headache that subside after about an hour.

This disease is most commonly found in dragons because with their long life spans and immense power, there are not many who could stand to steal from their hoard.

There are only two known ways to cure someone of Dragon Madness, the first you have to kill them and cast reincarnation on them. And the second you have to destroy what it is they value most. This can be accomplished by someone else or by the person with the disease.

Most of the time he would do just as he said, he would make them a few fresh muffins and send them on their way. However on moonless nights he would walk the child to their home, asking them about their room as they walked. After departing he would walk around, before returning to the child's home, breaking into their room and snatching them from their bed. He was eventually caught after killing tens of children and hung in the town center.

The Empire of Burgdalin

An empire covering a large amount of territory in Falyimoar. The empire consists of The Kingdom of Galmoer, The Kingdom of Phantonis, and The Theocracy of Rachelis. The former Kingdom of Burgdalin grew into this empire under the control of King Chuck Delair Falymos, The Last King of Burgdalin. Over a span of his 60 year this king managed to unify several kingdoms under his banner, crumbling several governments in his conquest.


This grand unification brought about a widespread revolution in the arcane by bringing many mages from all across the land to Eagris, leading to a standardization of the arcane arts and an increased interest in its uses. As the populations of mages in Eagris grew Emperor Chuck saw the opportunity to cultivate a generation of mages who would be loyal to the empire and support its people and military, thus he created The Grand Institute for Mystical Arts, allowing any proficient in spellcasting to come and study the arcane arts, so long as they swore upon a blood pact that they would serve the empire, or forfeit all of their arcane power. (this is in essence a patron - warlock kind of pact).

By WhiteKran

The Howling Planes

Much of the uninhabited open expanse of the central planes is colloquially referred to as the howling planes. On quite nights in the planes a faint shrill note can be heard all across the grasslands, with a seemingly indistinguishable origin. Locals say that if you end up alone in the planes on one of these nights, you must be cautious of mysterious creatures that will stalk you through the night, lying in wait for you to bed down to strike. Many towns have mounted expeditions to seek out and slay these creatures, but no group has ever managed to find the creatures, let alone slay one. Those that have survived these creatures often have large scars covering their body, most commonly near their faces, necks and chests.

Eagris

The capital city of Burgdalin, this city was originally a farming town in the central planes of Falyimoar. Because of the vast reaches of arable planes surrounding the town and a river running near by, it quickly grew into a small city. To defend against invaders the city put up stone walls around its borders. Each time the population outgrew the city walls they would build another ring of walls, eventually ending up with 7 currently standing walls. Most of the walls that were built early on have since been demolished as they no longer served any purpose.

The Crimson Fog

A thick deep red fog that engulfs much the eastern coast lines. Some say that the fog is the edge of the world, and that if you sail into its walls you will fall into a different world, while others claim that it hide an ancient treasure from long before even the age of giants. Many brave, or perhaps foolhardy sailors have sailed into the fog, few have returned, fewer returned with their minds. Those that survived the fog tell of an island with a massive chasm taking up most of its land.


They say that when you get close to the island you feel drawn towards it, and compelled to descend into the great abyss that lies with in it. Once you enter its depth the calling from the chasm becomes so intense that it you attempt to turn back and climb your way back out, it feels as though your body is fighting your mind with every step you take, urging you to turn back and descend once again.

The Moonbeam Towers

Devlutte is one of the only cities on the whole of Falyimoar to stay lit up during the night, this is thanks to an invention made by the Arcane Smiths, a guild of artificers located with in the city. Many years ago, Devlutte went through a massive growth in size and commerce, this growth came not without its fair share of growing pains however.


In the early days when the city was first growing large crime was rampant, with gangs of thieves gathering together and extorting the unorganized merchants of the city. Realizing that this high crime rate would lead to a decline in trade with neighboring cities, the merchants of the city gathered together and formed into guilds as a means to better protect goods and merchants alike.


Following this change there was a noticeable change in how the gangs would operate, instead of simply extorting a merchant for 'protecting' them, they turned to heists, where they would break into warehouses at night under cover of darkness and steal as much as they could before slipping away into the night. After years of battling on and on with these groups of thieves, the Merchants Guild decided they needed a way to stop these break ins from happening, and so they hired a newly formed but quickly growing guild to find them a solution.


After months of development the Arcane Smiths had invented a way to light up large swaths of the city by illuminating the tops of special towers, making it just brighter that a full moons nights. These towers shine a constant light during the night, illuminating the sky so that darkness never falls on Devlutte.

Session Log 9/30/23

Schmebulock got drawn into the astral plane to be questioned about his involvement in the escape of the Gary while the rest of the party rushed after the trail of blood leading into the forest.


The rest if the party explored the fortress a little more, met a surgeon and researcher tiefling named Henry Phillip Phriends in an enchanted room hidden under a trapdoor and tricked him into believing they were new hires, found a frigid room full of hanging, skinned gutted and beheaded humanoids. A sewer system full of blood that links to the moat, a trail of bloody wolf-like footsteps leading out of the sewer system, up a ladder and out of the fortress into the woods, while crossing the draw bridge out the fortress the footsteps changed into human footsteps.


They then found a map of the compound that has a warning to beware of the flesh eating forest spirit and the crimson moon, letters with the royal sigil of King Phillip the 2nd of Galemoer stamped on them, and some gold in a magical safe Henry alerted the guards after finding the bodies of the guards that the party killed on their way in, now the party is rushing to get out of the fortress as the mist grows closer to the fortress and Henry is yelling to the other guards '7INTRUDERS! THE FIRE IS OUT! GET THE MEAT!'.

The Kingdom of Phantonis

The The Kingdom of Phantonis is a small country that is several hundred years old, being just a few hundred years older that The Kingdom of Burgdalin, that recently joined the Empire of Burgdalin. Phantonis is situated in the central-eastern region of Burgdalin and above The Kingdom of Galmoer which resides in the south-eastern region of Burgdalin. Their economy is based in agricultural trade with the Empire, contributing to well over half of their yearly GPD, with most of the remaining portion coming from traders traveling too and Devlutte.


Almost a century ago King Typhos of Phantonis besieged Mistletoe Valley under the claim that the elves had taken the far eastern reaches of Mistletoe Valley from The Kingdom of unjustly several hundred years ago. This siege lasted for a few years, destroying many elven villages in the process, coming to a halt after the elves beat back their attackers to the entrance of the pass and relinquished some territory outside of the valley in exchange for an armistice.

Virgil and Kaguya 3

In their haste to find shelter from the rising moon Vander's father and aunt unknowingly entered into Mistletoe Valley, after spotting a small cave across The Field of Frozen Roses, rushing towards the cave the pair missed the approach of a young elven woman carrying a large backpack. Passing by The Field of Frozen Roses without entering it she approached them while waving to leave. Seeing that the sun had almost set they knew that they didn't have much time before they would transform and they both broke into a sprint for the cave. Seeing them suddenly charge into the pass the woman ran to intercept them while yelling in heavily accented common to 'Stop running! 'Wait!'.


Ignoring her they continued running, making it into the cave as the sunset, followed quickly by the elf.

Day 35

Virgil and Kaguya 2

Vander's father grew up a farmer with is parents in the western reaches of the Burgian Empire. That was, until his family's secret was discovered. The village they had lived in for generations turned against them in a single night, burning their home to ashes and slaying those who stayed. The only two who made it out of the attack were Vander's father and his younger sister. Surviving off of what they could forage, while making sure hide from the full moon, they fled for months. Until they found themselves just about at the foot of The Ever Cliffs at the dawning of a full moon.

Day 34

By WhiteKran

Virgil and Kaguya 1

After years of being denied access to the world outside the forest, Vander's mother was fed up with being stuck inside all her life, came up with plan to sneak out of the forest. She would sneak out the night of the full moon, during a ritual her clan performs when the moon is at its brightest. Almost all of the clan will gather for ritual, leading to a decrease of moon elves in the forest who might recognize her.


When the day of the full moon came she put her plan into action, she volunteered to join the guard on evening watch and snuck out after the changing of the guard just after nightfall. She headed east, toward the exit of the valley, passing though the ancient valley, scared by wars fought long ago. After about a months travel she had made it to the mouth of the valley, slowed by avoiding those sent after her and by letting her curiosity about the ancient ruins keep her from her travels. By the time she had made it to the mouth the next full moon was about to rise.

Day 33

By WhiteKran

Vander Shrier
Vander grew up a half elf with the cursed blood of his human father and his estranged elven mother. Many years before Vander was born his parents met each other for the first time just beyond The Field of Frozen Roses. His mother, a young moon elf that desired to leave the forest and experience the outside world, and his father, a traveler, bearing an ancient blood curse that forces him to become a wolf-like monster in the presence of the full moon.

By WhiteKran

The Giants of Falyimoar

In the ancient past, when Falyimoar had a much colder and inhospitable temperament, a race of giant humanoids lived across all of Falyimoar. Lead by their gods and fueled by frequents wars with one another, these giants took to building massive fortresses all across Falyimoar to protect their cities. In their fight for conquest, a group of the southern giants tamed massive flying beasts, giving them rule over the skies.


The remnants of these giants societies and the scares of their battle can be found all around the continent. Accompanying the disappearance of the giants can the rise of the smaller humanoid races. They came across the sea, having out grown the resources of their old homes, they journeyed in search of a new place to call home. Finding a war torn but plentiful land these new peoples sought to end the conflict between the giants, by any means possible.


After a few generations in this new land, a human warrior arose amongst the people, bent on bringing peace, by killing the gods that ruled over Falyimoar

Timberwolves

The beast resemble typical wolves, though they are much larger and intelligent. They are known to stalk their prey for miles through out the forests trees all the while keeping themselves hidden, a common strategy of these wolves is to surround their prey in a circle and take turns charging in to make quick attacks before returning to the circle. They have typically have gray and black fur, and on average stand between two and three feet high while being about 5 feet long and weighing up to 300 pounds.

Day 30

By WhiteKran

Timberwolf Woods

The Timberwolf Woods are a filled with Timberwolves, and Giant Wolf Spiders, these woods border the northern regions of The Ever Cliffs and the central plains of Burgdalin. This forest is home to a Mycelite colony and is under their protection, all that enter should expect to be observed by this colony, though it rarely interacts with humanoids.

Day 29

By WhiteKran

Magic in Agriculture

Though most forms of magic are disapproved of by the Burgian Empire they allow its use in certain applications, such as in agriculture. Because of this it is not uncommon to find farmers using simple magics such as mold earth and shape water. Many traveling wizards and druids know of this more relaxed attitude towards magic and will often offer their services in exchange for crops or logging in town during their stay. This has lead to many traveling spellcasters to learn the Summon Rain and Plant Growth spells as a way of quickly gaining a place to stay during their travels.


Conjure Rain
1st-level Transmutation (ritual)
Casting time: 1 action
Range: 1 mile
Components: S, M (A burned twig doused in lake water)
Duration: 1 hour
Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard, Cleric

A wave of rainclouds rolls out from a point you can see within range, covering a cylinder up to 1 mile wide and 40 feet high. For the duration, light rain falls in this area, extinguishing unprotected flames, and you can cause harmless claps of thunder or flashes of lightning to emanate from the clouds.

The spell ends if you dismiss it (no action required), or if a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the clouds.



Plant Growth
3rd-level Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action or 8 hours
Range: 150 feet
Target: Plants within a specific area
Components: V S
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Bard, Druid, Ranger

This spell channels vitality into plants within a specific area. There are two possible uses for the spell, granting either immediate or long-term benefits.

If you cast this spell using 1 action, choose a point within range. All normal plants in a 100-foot radius centered on that point become thick and overgrown. A creature moving through the area must spend 4 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves. You can exclude one or more areas of any size within the spell's area from being affected.

If you cast this spell over 8 hours, you enrich the land. All plants in a half-mile radius centered on a point within range become enriched for 1 year. The plants yield twice the normal amount of food when harvested.

Kratins

The Kratins are a race of tiny rat like humanoids that live in burrows together all through out Falyimoar, with many clans taking up residency in the city Devlutte and in the capital of Burgdalin. They have quite short lives, reaching maturity around 2 - 3 years and only living into their early thirties on average. Most Kratins have loose skin that hangs off of them slightly that is covered by thin dark fur. They typically shun most forms of magic, only making exceptions for specific individuals with religious significance.

They worship the gods Solaris and Selûne and place a great amount of importance on the rising and setting of the sun and moon, holding festivals during eclipses and solstices. They believe the powers that be are intimately involved in their lives and not to be meddled with by mortals, for fear of disrupting the gods and incurring their wrath. Most religious observation is done in private in closed sanctums at noon, and on certain nights, when the sun or moon sits directly directly above the sanctum, casting their light inside through a large opening in the ceiling.

Day 27

By WhiteKran

Devlutte

The largest port city on Falyimoar, it is built on a the remains of a massive skeleton. It is not known what kind of creature this was but many believe that it is the remains of a god that fell in the material plane (god's corpses typically reside in the Astral Plane and the Astral Sea, making up the vast majority of these planes land masses). The city has prospered massively from the abundant natural resources on the island, and has become a massive cultural melding pot that has races from all over Fayimoar that call it home.

Devlutte is officially under the rule of the Burgian Empire, but in reality they function more as an independent city state that does trade with the empire. The empire does most of their trade with Devlutte through the 'Devlutte Merchants Guild' also know as DMG (damage), which is lead by the three major merchant families, the Blights, the Wittebanes and the Huntsmans.

Schmebulock's Trial

Massive goat/sheep like beings cloaked in your companion's attire and float aloft looking down at you quizzically as they murmur amongst themselves.
GOAT: 'Mortal, you make a compelling argument about what events lead to the unfortunate release of it and due to the circumstances in which it's escaped from out custody we have decided to allow you a chance to free yourself from all charges we could wage against you. You must capture it and bring them back here, should you manage to do this we will offer you a reward for your work, if not, we will summon you back here and dispose of you. We will give you a tool to aid in your capture of the criminal. What is it you require?'
Schmebulock: 'Will I keep this tool?'
GOAT: 'Perhaps. Should you do a good job we might let you keep it.'
Schmebulock: 'I would like some really powerful shackles to capture him, some gauntlets in case he fights back, and a bag to hold it all.'
Schmebulock: 'Bites his lip seductively at one of the goats dressed in Ingra's clothing, momentarily catching their attention, before they snapped back to their senses,'
GOAT: Flustered 'You-u may have two, which will you take?'
Schmebulock: 'Ill take the shackles and the bag of holding.'

Lycanthrope Hides

Magical clothing items can be crafted from the tanned hides of transformed lycanthropes and certain crystals. These magical clothes will augment the wearers physical appearance, behavior and in some cases will completely overrule the wearers will and mind. Causing them to become a mindless droving beast.

In order to obtain the hides of a lycanthrope you must skin them with a magical or silvered weapon/tool while they are alive, conscious, and transfigured or else they will untransfigure when they loose consciousness. Due to this it is preferred by those who hunt lycanthropes to capture them alive and sell them off to an appointed official so that they can be processed afterword.

Day 24

By WhiteKran

Taspcell

Taspcell is a moderately sized logging town that is surrounded by the forests of the Timberwolf Woods, that are rumored to contain ancient spirits that shift around the trees so to confuse and ward off trespassers. In last few years the empire has been increasing their lumber orders by several magnitudes, which has lead to the expedited culling of the trees at an unsustainable rate. Leading to a council being formed in the old town church as there has been an influx of laborers because of the increased demand from the empire.

Taspcell had been fairly peaceful for a long time, that was until the murders began. In the last few months the bodies of 7 townsfolk have been discovered, each missing their head, and all of their internal organs except the appendix.

Recently the town has been thrown into a state of disarray because of there murders. This has lead to some adventure being hired to investigate the murders. However shortly after they were hired there group attacked a local butcher and left him to bleed out in a local shop. Then they were seen going into the sewers, which were lit on fire soon after. Leading to more that half of the town being burned to ash. After getting most of the fires put out the town guard was sent to the inn the adventures were known to have been staying at to apprehend them and bring them to trial in front of the town council. When the guards arrived their were shocked to find that the adventures had returned to their rooms as if they had done nothing wrong and moved to arrest them. After hearing the guards orders to come with them the group fled through the window of their room and ran into the rest of the guards, and engaged in combat.

The dragonborn in the party charged up to a few of the guards, opened their mouth and spewed acid across them, maiming or four of the guards, next charged a half succubus, a half elf man and a bear, each of which killed more of the guards, next up was a rouge who ran up and stabbed some of the guards and a druid who ran towards the inn stables and turned into a horse. After a little more skirmishing with the guards everyone retreated to the stables, with the dwarf wearing the bear skin convulsing and lashing out as they pulled her into the wagon. The adventures were last seen as they disappeared into the forest, leaving about half of the town's guards slain.

The Court of Eternal Judgment

A judicial court in the Astral Plane that is run by powerful otherworldly beings from the Ethereal Plane whose true forms are imperceptible to ordinary mortals of the material planes. This court serves to convict and sentence deities and powerful beings who would disrupt the balance between the Ethereal Plane and the Material Plane, and cause them to mix with one another. They also handle the crimes committed by beings of the Ethereal Plane in other planes.

By WhiteKran

The Decay

The 'Decay' is a consumable magic item, it is a fine scarlet powder that is water soluble. On flora the decay will cause the rapid deterioration of plant life, areas that the the decay has been used in can take several hundreds of years to recover naturally. It only takes a little bit of the decay touching a plant for it to begin withering, once the plant has withered they will often become animated, and attack animal life indiscriminately.

To create this weapon King Charles The Third, The Scarlet King had to go through a lengthy process of burning humans while driving a certain magical object through their heart before their die, thus binding their souls to the object, then suspending several of the 'soul stones' in a slimy goo in a sealed chamber while heating it to extreme temperatures and then finally crushing the resulting product into a fine powder.

He gained his title following The Splintering Schism, for his brutality, merciless slaughter of thousands of innocent people, and for his ultimate weapon, created from the souls of his victims.

Day 20

By WhiteKran

Sadrust

A massive sand covered desert that spans much of the north-western coast of Falyimoar. This region is home to the ruins of an ancient kingdom. The name of this kingdom has been lost to time along side the knowledge of what happened to the kingdom, however what has been discovered from the ruins of the kingdom suggests that they angered an ancient god and the kingdom fell as a result. The ruins of this ancient kingdoms cities have often peaked the interest of researchers and adventures alike. The dunes of Sadrust are well known for its hostile lightning storms that rise suddenly, sweeping across the land miles at a time. During these storms ancient ruins regularly become uncovered, which adds much needed cover for travelers, however weathered adventures and merchants will often warn against spending to long in these ruins, or venturing too deep into their depths.

The Curse of Lycanthropy Part 3

A large red wyrmling stood in front of the miners wagons, looking at the curiously. It slowly approached one of the miners that stood in front of the wagons, sniffing him before dragging its tongue across his face. Breaking the miner let out a scream that was quickly cut off as the dragon pounced on him, swallowing him whole.

Egret found his gaze fixed to the dragon as it spat out the mans charred bones in front of the miners. Unable to look away he started to walk backward, as the battle unfolded in front of him as if in slow motion. As the miners drew their weapons and tools, rushing the wyrmling with their weapons raised, Egret realized where he recognized some of these men from. They had been his guards from when he was little.

When they were still little Egret and Heron (Egret's best friend who go executed) would sneak out into the streets of Burgdalin to visit a small tavern where they would gamble away money that Egret's mother had given him in secret. Every night that they did this they would have to 'sneak' past Egret's guards. More often than not some of the guards would accompany him and Heron on their journeys through the city. Egret got away with it for a few years without repercussions. That was until the night before Egret's 10th birthday, his father had come to his room late into the night to leave a training sword for Egret's in his room so that when he woke up he would find in for him. However all the king found, was his son missing, and his guards away from their posts. Immediately the king raised the castle alarms to find the crown prince, and ordering for the capture of those who had taken him.

When the guards and Egret returned from their night of merry making and gambling they found the castle in shambles, immediately as they approached the castle all of Egret's guards were surrounded and taken away, Egret was brought to his father. He tried to plead with his father but if fell on deaf ears. His Father gave the order that the crown prince was not to be take or let outside of the castle grounds without his approval, indefinitely.

Until now Egret had never been able to find out definitively what had become of his guards, he had heard rumors that they had been executed or sent away to a distance village, both of which appeared to be false. For just a moment he had the thought that if he could make it to them, he might be able to help scare off the dragon, or at the very least give them a moment to escape, as recompense for what had happened to them as a result of his childishness. The wyrmling rose up on its rear legs, before dropping down on all fours with a crash as it let out the terrible sound of a wildly raging fire. Loud pops sounded out from the flames the poured over the guards. For a brief second Egret saw figures standing after the fire ceased. He felt an immense hope swell up inside him only for it come suddenly crashing down, along side the scorched remains of the men. As the bones crashed to the ground they exploded into dust, coating the road with piles of smoldering metal slag and a fine layer of dark soot.

The Curse of Lycanthropy Part 2

After a few days of gathering information, supplies and getting to know the terrain surrounding Scheirenstein, Egret decided that he would slip out of town with the miners that were heading up to the dragon's nest to collect quicklime. Sure in his plan he went to sleep early that night so that he could be up before the miners set out. Everything was going great, he woke up on time, he was able to sneak into one of the miners wagons roughly an hour before dawn, and he made it out of town totally undetected. Having made it well into the forest Egret figured it would not be long before he should sneak out of the wagon, deciding he would wait until the miners stopped for a break to hop out and make a run for it.

Just half an hour later the miners came to a sudden halt on the trail, and all of the miners fell silent, having prepared for this chance Egret burst out of the back of the wagon, Egret hesitated momentarily being blinded by the sun that shone in his eyes. He had a fleeting thought that it was odd none of the miners had looked in his direction even though he was quite a bit louder in his escape than he had intended. The thought left his mind as his feet hit the ground with a start, quickly looking around he noticed that all the miners seemed to be looking in the same direction, before darting into the forest. After crashing through about a hundred feet of dense trees he looked back and saw what had all of the miners transfixed.

Day 17

By WhiteKran

The Splintering Schism Part 2

Already fleeing from the scattered corpses of humans and elves alike the militia would have been quickly flanked by the charging cavalry if not for the warriors of the Sorahito, flying down from their station high on the peaks they landed in The Field of Frozen Roses, inevitably resulting in some of the warriors and their rocs being added to the carnage. Hundreds of elves piled onto the massive avians and took to the skies in retreat as flaming balls and lighting were shot at them from the ground. They flew for hours to the ancient fortress city Belvenia to recuperate and devise their next move with the elders after this harrowing defeat.

After two long days of drawn out debates between the elders they came to a decision. They would station themselves here in the city and fight from the skies and walls. It would take about a week for the invaders to reach the fortress through the pass, all the while the Sorahito were performing aerial assaults on the army to dwindle their numbers, slow their march, and lead them to Belvenia. By the time the King Charles' forces had reached Belvenia they had lost about a third of their men and their food supplies had been greatly diminished.

Despite having lost so many men they still had more than double as many available fighters as the elves. Before King Charles launched an attack on the city he had his men prepare a weapon they had been keeping secret until now. A weapon that causes the very forest the elves hold so dear to wither and decay, only to rise back up and fight against them. The Decay.

Sorahito (Sky people 空人)

The clan of sky elves. These elves live atop the peaks The Ever Cliffs in massive ancient fortresses, built by the giants who used to inhabit the mountains. Fitting to their name the Sorahito spend much or their time in the skies, riding the descendants of rocs tamed by the giants, this has lead to the Sorahito developing a tolerance to the intense cold and thin air of extreme heights. As part of a coming of age ritual these elves each have to tame a roc, that they will then spend much of their life with. This is due in part to the lifespan of the rocs, who can life upwards of 500 years, making them near lifelong companions for the Sorahito.

Day 15

By WhiteKran

Morihito (Forest people 森人)

The clan of wood elves. These elves live in the the forests of Misteltal in large structures, grown out of living trees, and shaped with magic. These people are the most in touch with the forests of Misteltal, and are constantly wary of those who might disrupt the balance of their forest. Should a non-elf enter the forest the first to know will be the Morihito, who will dispatch warriors to stalk those whom entered. Should the person do something that would harm the forest the Morihito will engage them in battle to cause them to flee or to kill them.

Day 14

By WhiteKran

Tsukihito (Moon people 月人)

The clan of moon elves. These elves live in the central regions of Misteltal, and live through out the forests, often studying various forms of magic and nature. This clan typically comes into the most contact with shorter lived species, leading to these elves having a disproportionate amount of cultural exchange with other species than the other clans. These regular interactions with other species has had great affects on the magics and knowledge of the Tsukihito, leading to a small city of elves devoted studying foreign magics has formed within the very center of Misteltal, marked by a massive tower, built to sit well above the tree canopies and to raise the Tsukihito closer to the moon.

Day 13

By WhiteKran

Kagehito (Shadow people 影人)

The clan of dark elves (Drow). These elves live in the northern reaches Misteltal where the forests fade into the high mountain peaks. These peoples live in the thick forests and the deep caverns of the Ever Cliffs. Spending there long lives deep in the caverns, many of these these elves have developed a sensitivity to sunlight, and often venture out only during the night, relying of magical lights to guide their way.

Day 12

By WhiteKran

Umihito (Sea people 海人)

The clan of the sea elves. These elves live in the western reaches of Misteltal where the mountains part and open themselves to the ocean. Because of this clans long standing love for the seas they spend much of their lives in the water, living as one with the waves and befriending all manner of creatures that reside in its depths.

Day 11

By WhiteKran

The Field of Frozen Roses

This field just within the pass to Misteltal is the sight of the first major battle of The Splintering Schism. Filled with the frozen remains of both elves and humans this patch of land has been found filled with roses made of ice on the anniversary of the battle. These roses only seem to sprout from where the soldiers perished, with the roses melting away as the sun sets. As if the plants themselves remember the battle that took place here.

Day 10

By WhiteKran

The Five Clans: The Splintering Schism Part 1

The elven clans inhabited Mistletoe Valley as well as he Ever Cliffs long before the kingdom of Burgdalin had been established and humans spread across the continent the elves lived together in solitude, keeping away from the other races except for a coming of age journey where they would venture out into Falyimoar to experience what it was like to live amongst the shorter lived races. In this time Mistletoe Valley was called Misteltal, before its name was translated into common, and the elves of Misteltal lived in small villages that rarely interacted with one another.

Just a mere hundred and fifty years after the establishment of a small kingdom in central Falyimoar, the young elves that had journeyed out of the Valley began to return with stories of human armies that had been sweeping over the land lead by a powerful and cruel man.

He would capture towns and villages, everything from them then leaving them in ruin. Any that resisted were kept alive and forced to watch as all of their family members were gathered onto pyres and set ablaze while chained down to large metal platforms the armies had caries with them, scorched from frequent use.

Hearing of this impending danger the Elders of Misteltal gathered for the first time in hundreds of years, after lengthy discussions they decided their best option was to mount an offensive strike against the approaching armies. They gathered as many of the skilled hunters and warriors as could be spared and set out to the pass that connects Misteltal to the rest of Falyimoar.

They sent out groups of hunters to observe the army and to report back should they approach the pass. On multiple occasions the elves launched assaults against the army at night and harassed their supply caravans. These occasionally resulted in skirmishes that typically resulted in the retreat of the elves. After years of conquest the army finally made it to the pass into Misteltal, and prepared to cross through it.

Having lied in wait for King Charles the Third's army to arrive the elves stationed themselves on the cliffs of the pass, hiding themselves from view until the armies entered the pass, when they launched volley after volley of arrows, and sent stones rolling down the cliffs, wiping out the army.

Emboldened by their swift defeat of their foes they tossed caution to the wind and descended into the pass themselves, to ensure that their enemies had been vanquished. However as soon as they came to see the obliterated army they realized something was gravely wrong, the army they had heard of was a large military, with officers wearing special colors and soldiers in detailed armor. Contrary to what they had heard in their reports these soldiers appeared to be thin and weak, wearing what appeared to be scraped together armor with painted lines to give the appearance of intracity

The first cry came as abruptly as it faded. A young elf had approached one the men who had been shot with an arrow and brushed against the bare of his hand against the soldiers arm as he went to examine the corpse. It was cold, a cold a fresh corpse should not have, that felt this man had been left to freeze during the winter. In a instant the elf was dead. Frozen solid as he toppled over, shattering into icy shards as he crashed to the ground.

Breaking into a panic the elven militia broke apart fleeing in all directions, bumping into more corpses as they ran, causing a chain reaction that decimated about a third of their forces. Those that escaped what would come to be called The Field of Frozen Roses witnessed as an army several times as large as the one they had defeated strode out of the forest that borders the pass, appearing from a magical barrier that had been hiding them. Lead by a heavily armored man astride a horse in detailed armor leading a cavalry charge into the pass.

Mistletoe Valley

In a tucked away region of Falyimoar lies Mistletoe Valley, home of the five elven clans. The valley is locked on all sides by mountains with only one lowland entrance, making any kind of travel to or from the valley a journey that could last months. Mistletoe Valley has a wide diversity in its ecosystem, supporting a massive forest with a multitude of microbiomes each with differing flora and fauna. The main intelligent species that live in this valley are the Elves and the Mycelites, both of which contribute to the maintenance and growth of the forest.

Tumlburry

Tumlburry is a small town hidden behind the everchanging dunes of the Sadrust (sad - rust) desert. Built around a natural oasis this town is often houses travelers and merchants on their way back from the coasts, and adventurers in search of long lost treasures hidden away beneath the sands.

Recently fewer and fewer traders have been coming back from the coast, those that have been returning tell tales of sandy thunderstorms that seems to follow them during their travels, with the sounds of thunder ringing out from the storm extremely frequently. Rumor has it that some adventures disturbed an ancient temple, drawing the ire of the gods, who have cursed the land until the desecration has been rectified.

The Institute of Lycanthropy
The institute Institute of Lycanthropy was establish in order to learn the secrets of lycanthropy and how to eradicate it (or utilize it). The institute was established by the late Emperor Charles the 3rd, after his wife was killed in an assassination attempt by werecat, that was sent by the Followers of the Blind Sun, a religious organization that claims to follow the goddess Selûne, patron of good and neutral aligned lycanthropes. The institute frequently works along side the Burgian church to collect lycanthropes to experiment on in the name of their gods will.

The Beginnings of the Curse of Lycanthropy Part 1

What would one day in the distant future become the cult of the blind sun was formed by the firstborn son of King Charles Delair Terre, Crown Prince Egret Delair Falym. What began as a young prince rebelling against his fathers tyrannical ways soon became a fight for freedom and the protection of wilds.


After witnessing the beheading of his closest friend and squire on counts of sorcery and treason against the state by direct order of his father. Egret fled the kingdom and abandoned his title as the crown prince. Following the roads leading away from the capital. Half starved and soon to collapse of dehydration the young prince found refuge in a small town in the south-western woods of Falyimoar. Scheirenstein, a small mining town, unknown to the prince.


As the sun was reaching its rest, the young prince stumbled his way out from the woods, and up to the front of the town. Looking worse for wear from his arduous trek through the wilderness, the town guards brandished their weapons towards this unknown traveler, ordering him to approach they see the royal insignia emblazoned upon his cloak and immediately rush help him.


Identifying Egret as a part of the royal court the guards started taking him directly to the Lord of Scheirenstein. Realizing that knowledge of his disappearance could have already reached this town and he could be taken back to the capital, he refused to accompany them, much to their disapproval and told them he would visit the Lord in the morning, before departing they gave him a map of the surrounding area and pointed his way to the town inn. Telling him to stay clear of any areas marked with a bone or jagged stone.


Departing from the guards Egret thanked them for their help and once out of sight, quickly took his cloak and turned it inside out, so as to hide the insignia and keep his identity as secret as he could. Having made his way to the inn just after dusk, entering the crowded Egret was immediately hit with the sounds of half deaf miners sharing a meal after a long days work.


Exhausted himself from days of travel with little to no food and his only water being from creeks and small streams that were far from potable. Egret couldn't help himself from letting his guard down ordering far too much food for himself and drinking well past his limits. He couldn't remember quite how he had came to be in a room, but a just a few hours past sunrise he awoke to the sounds of horses totting on cobblestones and the unintelligible sounds of several men shouting over each other coming from outside his window.

Dismissing the thought Egret decided he should get some food, and that he should assess his situation, and figure out what he was going to do from here. Worried that his father would send soldiers out to search for him, he decided that he should look around Scheirenstein, purchase supplies, and potentially skip town, and given that the Lord of Scheirenstein had likely been alerted to the presence of a member of the Royal Court visiting this town, he wouldn't have long in this town before going the risk of being identified and captured.

Falyimoar

Falyimoar (Fah-uhl-yi-mor) is one of 5 continents that populate the planet Astea and is commonly referred to as Burgdalin by the citizens of the Empire and some neighboring territories. Falyimoar is waterlocked on all sides with only small islands surrounding it. Legend tells of distance wildlands beyond the shores or Falyimoar with untold magics and riches to be found.


Many sailor and soldiers alike have attempted to brave the oceans surrounding the continent, but those that have survived leaving the safety of the shores tell of great storms and monsters in the deep, just waiting for them to approach before sucking their ship down to the bottom of the ocean, leaving hardly a ripple in the water. As if the ship had never been their at all.

Part 2: Burgdalin Doctrine

Awaking to his kingdom in chaos the King found himself face to face with a growling, raving beast that had broken into his chambers and murdered his defenders. Valiantly King Charles drew his blade that was forged by the greatest smiths in the kingdom and blessed by the leader of the church. With a single strike from his sword he felled the beast. Laying on the ground the beast shrank, its fur falling away and its body reshaping itself into what resembled a young man, a young man once familiar to King Charles Delair Terre.


His son lay in front of him motionless, killed by his fathers hand, with the sigil of the 'cult' engraved on his body. That night the full moon stained red with the blood of the beasts King Charles slew. On that fateful night the kind swore that he would do everything in his power to eradicate this scourge that had infected his land, slaughtered his people, and brought terror to his land. On that night, the ever-raging war on the lycanthropes began.

Part 1: Burgdalin Doctrine

The origins of the first Lycanthrope are not commonly know, but most in Burgdalin believe in the stories taught by the Church of the Burg. This doctrine stated that the lycanthropes progenitor was the leader of a 'cult' that sought to strike down the first King of Burgdalin and free the people from the shackles of the 'Holy King's' rule.


However before their plan could come to fruition a member of the 'cult' abandoned their ways, defecting, and fleeing to the protection of the kingdom with the news that there was to be an assassination attempt on the kings life. Enraged by this betrayal the 'cult's' leader made a deal with an unknown goddess that in exchange for the strength to cut down their foes, they would become servants of the wild and they would eliminate that would do it harm. The leader then launched an assault on Burgdalin's capital, which grew into a several week long unrelenting attack.


In this grueling siege the 'cult's' warriors fighting slowly became filled with ever-growing furry and bloodlust, they became more and more powerful as the days went by. Until the final night of the siege. The kingdoms army awoke to a the screaming of a child that was quickly silenced, it came from inside the city walls. As the full moon rose, it was seen as hundreds of large beasts climbed and flew over the walls, descending all they came across, slaughtering indiscriminately and seemingly unfazed by all manner of weaponry. Cries were heard from those that had managed to escape screaming as their bones cracked, snapping in to new shapes, skin tore weaving itself a new, deforming the afflicted into monstrous beasts, the same that had attacked them.

Gods

There exist two types of Gods; those that were created through the beliefs of the peoples who believe in them, and those that rose to godhood through their own power.


Those who have come about through their followers belief gain their power though said belief and are subject to having their powers fade away should their followers dwindle.


Those that have forged their own divinity are subject to this affect as well but they will keep their innate power and will not fade away completely even if they are forgotten.
