watch so three hours other places are longer like from here to here is a full watch start off with a survey of the land and the history and uh going back in time starting with what's going on today there is a federation the common congress of cities and provinces is strong and stable a generation ago you had the empire barely remembered by the eldest you had an old republic then you had a kingdom before that and then the older times and the oldest times the forgotten past legend and myth so these are things that are might possibly have been true they're just rumors at this point or myths for example in the forging era the darks took away another half of all humans alas the gates of the former afterlife were closed and those dead were lost the government and the people of the area the baron who is part of a democratic autocracy the vizier the mayors the federal faith the baronial faith all of these characters get portraits which is really nice you can actually show something to your players they know what people look like and most of the people in the area are divided between baronials and old settlers uh brownells being the more upper-class populist and the old settlers being the common folk who are often looked down upon each of these has a series of NUMBER_TOKEN stories about them that people say whether these are true whether they're not true that's really going to be up to you luca really does focus on these settings that are not super prescriptive they don't force you into one particular way of looking at things he definitely encourages you to mix and match things up this guide may not be completely accurate you could easily tell your players that this was written by some people back in the empire and that now that you're visiting it maybe not it's it's not entirely accurate maybe you'll find discrepancies in here uh the wolf folk they're really wild people living out in the woods so some stories about them could be things like uh there's no difference between the wolf folk and the old settlers every old settler reverts if like uh if let off of their leash or perhaps they can speak to wolves and bears and foxes old architects these aren't really in the setting they're just uh rumored ancient uh beings that were here perhaps thousands of years ago maybe they're aliens the economy in society how things are kept up we have mining lumber water wool manufacturer so you get a sense of what people are going to care about the powerful few and the powerless multitudes again i love the pictures of the technology here the culture and faith of the area polite address i really like this this is a very distinct way of doing this so a gentle traveler will address those of the highest status in the third person as they not as they not uh speaking directly at them after a series of platitudes and flatteries they may address someone of equal status by their title and eventually possibly even their name most outsiders that could be you will have to guide will have a guide to address the lower orders for them when this is not the case a visitor may refer to inferior simply with we assuming them as part of their own body social so there's a the class system is baked into the language that's used local color lots of weird little traditions that you can dot around in the different villages
