## Characters in Chapter

* Shimamura Hougetsu
* Adachi

## Summary

Shimamura tries to go to the roof while skipping class, but discovers it is locked. She decides to try the second floor of the gym, as she believes it isn't used anymore. This is where she meets Adachi, who was sitting on the floor barefoot. Afterwards, they often find themselves doing the same thing and hanging out together in the gym.

To help pass the time, and because no one is downstairs, they decide to play ping-pong together. While playing, Adachi asks if Shimamura was in any clubs in middle school. Much to Adachi's surprise, Shimamura was really into basketball, often staying late practicing shots. They consider playing basketball, but decide it would be too noisy and their school uniforms aren't really suited for it. After playing for a while, they decide it is too hot to continue and take a break. While waiting, Shimamura tells Adachi that she is pretty, but flusters her. To which she starts flapping her skirt in an attempt to cool off. Shimamura tells her she is degrading their schools dignity, and they laugh it off.

Shimamura asks about lunch and Adachi asks for a water and a danish and promises that *next* time she'll go get the food. Shimamura doubts it as Adachi has said that before. Shimamura wonders if Adachi's lunch is why her skin looks so nice, as if water flowed through her veins rather than blood. Adachi asks Shimamura if she is going to class after they eat. Shimamura says she might, and asks Adachi if she is going home. Adachi is not going to class.

Shimamura reflects on how she hasn't ever asked Adachi on why she skips class, but enjoyed the two of them hanging out. They both agree that even though they enjoy playing ping-pong together, they'd skip gym class if they ever had to play it there. As lunch period ends, Shimamura goes to leave, though she notices Adachi struggling to grab her bag, which is just outside of reach. She playfully calls Adachi a sloth and runs off to class. At the bottom of the stairs, Shimamura wonders if Adachi comes to school just to see her with a smile.

The anime will be coming October 8, 2020.
Chapter 2

**Distance** is the second chapter in the Adachi and Shimamura manga. It was released in tankōbon format 22 December 2016.

## Characters in Chapter

* Shimamura Hougetsu
* Hino
* Nagafuji
* Adachi

## Summary

Shimamura is at a book store with her friends Hino and Nagafuji looking at a table tennis book. Her friends begin to ask her about her skipping class, and they decide to look for her the next time she skips. This worries Shimamura as she doesn't want them to find Adachi. As they are leaving, they notice Adachi waiting on her cell phone. Shimamura and Adachi quickly advert their gaze as they notice each other, but decide to look again and make eye contact, before quickly looking away again. Shimamura thinks about how they're just like a secret couple. Nagafuji ponders who Adachi is, as she hasn't been in the classroom since April.

The next day, Shimamura is alone in the gym so she decides to practice her table tennis. Since Adachi isn't around, she is worried that she upset her yesterday by not speaking with her. Adachi eventually comes up the stairs instead of going home because she could hear the ping-pong balls. The two of them discuss their meeting yesterday, and Shimamura asks Adachi if she'd rather go to class or go home together. Adachi decides to stay at school until the end of the day so the two of them can walk home together.

They meet at the same place they saw each other yesterday, though today it is raining. Adachi is waiting with an umbrella and shares it with Shimamura. Unfortunately, they realize they live in opposite directions. So they decide to ride to Adachi's house first, riding two-up on Adachi's bicycle. On the bicycle ride, Adachi asks Shimamura about her friends. She is surprised to learn she has so many and had assumed she went to that book store because she had none. When Shimamura asks about Adachi's friends, she admits that Shimamura is probably her only friend.

When they arrive at Adachi's house, Shimamura is soaked and Adachi's bangs are wet. Adachi invites Shimamura inside for a towel to dry off, but Shimamura worries she'd be troublesome coming inside being so wet. When she nervously accepts, Adachi doesn't like her tone and sends her on her way home. At Shimamura's request, Adachi gives her a map back to the school. Shimamura borrows Adachi's umbrella and promises to return it the next day at school. Adachi accepts, if she decides to go to school the next day and throws Shimamura a lemon yellow towel. Adachi then offers to walk Shimamura home, but they ultimately decide that would be pointless.

Shimamura is sad the towel doesn't smell like Adachi, but also realizes she doesn't know what Adachi smells like. She then wonders if Adachi was there waiting for her yesterday or not. Smiling to herself, she hopes to see Adachi again tomorrow.
Innuendos

In the uncensored version of TBBTAS, there are many, many innuendos.

## The List

* "Eat it! Eat it raw!"-Yelled by Amanda Gentry to cheer for Mr. Alderman. It actually means, "Lick my privates!"
* "Go, children! Beat 'em like Mark Fuhrman at a Coolio concert!"-Hollered by Mr. Rasti to his six kids, he's actually saying that the kids should be racist to the mice.
* "JAKE: All I did was compliment his sister's skirt./ELWOOD: Yeah, but you did it from underneath!"-This sexual innuendo means that Jake is a peeping tom.
* "Great. Now take one and stick it in your butt."-Mr. Alderman says that to Detective Armbrister. Although Mr. Alderman's partner may have a shot after doing so literally, the idiom means "take one of the red pushpins and go away."
* "To h\*ll with that!"-Uttered by Mama Lou, it means "Forget about it!"
* "Marone!"-Spoken by Mrs. Scungili, it means "d\*mn b\*lls" in Italian.
* "MRS. SCUNGILI: Is that a piano in my bra?/Elwood: No; we're just happy to see you."-This is a classic innuendo about erection.

Nations and Free Cities of the Known World

## Current Kingdoms

* Empire of Vecracan: The most powerful nation on Aboris.
	+ The Grey Guard: An powerful political and military force within the Empire.
* Realm of Krunbar: A Gnomish Republic and trade partner of the Empire of Vecracan.
* Kingdom of Aglarond: A still powerful Dwarven Kingdom and former ally of the Kingdom of Oriath. Pays yearly tribute to the Empire of Vecracan.
* Tribal Kingdom of Feridan: A loosely alliance of hundreds of different tribes. The majority only work together when a Khan rises and conquers the others. No Khan currently rules.
* Kingdom of Allanor: An elven kingdom that keeps its borders closed to everyone. It has one trade port that is the only location foreigners are allowed into.

## Fallen Kingdoms

* Kingdom of Oriath: A kingdom that recently fell to Vecracan's armies.
* Knossos: A small island kingdom that was devastated when the Vedalken appeared within the capital.
* Fallmoure: Once a powerful Dwarven kingdom that according to legends would have dwarfed Aglarond. It is believed to have been destroyed by a Drow invasion almost 1000 years ago.
* Petty Kingdoms of Castile, Devonshire, and Aether: Three small kingdoms that used to control and war with each other over the northeastern portion of Aboris.

## Free Cities and Minor Powers

* **The Volsung Clan**: A small, yet powerful group of raiders and traders based out of Serin.
* **Carmaset**: A powerful city state that has grown rich over controlling the trade in the Damon's Gulf. They are believed to support many of the pirates in the Gulf as the only ships attacked are those that go against Carmaset's wishes. It is believed that Vecracan is rapidly losing patience with them.
* **Burke**: A minor trade port mostly populated by exiles from the tribes of Feridan. One of the few places that allows Aboris goods to trickle into Feridan, for a price. It is also the first place that Khans have historically sacked.
* **Riverhold**: The last major city of the Kingdom of Knossos and is now a glorified city state. The great trees on their island allow them to build excellent ships.
* **Ines Island**: The only safe harbor between Devonshire and Riverhold. It provides safe haven to traveling ships caught in major storms. It has a small population who support themselves by fishing, diving for pearls, or searching for gems exposed in the sides of the island's dormant volcano.
* **Deavv**: A city that is believed to exist in the firbolg controlled northern region of Knossos island.
* **Brooklyn**: Like Carmaset, Brooklyn is a small, yet rich trading port. It was founded to take advantage of its location between Serin and Aboris and became a rich trade hub between the two continents. Even though most of its former trading partners have been absorbed by Vecracan, the people are still content to let others play their games of thrones as they count their coins.
Forbidden Lands

The Forbidden Lands is a somewhat misleading name for this continent as no laws actually exist to forbid you to go there. The only thing truly stopping someone from going there is their sense of self-preservation. No one who has ever ventured into them has ever returned and magic used to scry it has left the caster half dead and insane. Not even legends or stories of this area exist as it has been the Forbidden Lands since the earliest histories.
Kingdom of Oriath

## Overview

The Kingdom of Oriath, now the Province of Oriath under the Vecracan Empire, was a powerful military and economic power in southeast Aboris. King Hamel Seastrong was the last ruler of the kingdom, but he and his entire bloodline were killed when Oriath was conquered. Redcourt was the capital of the kingdom and remains the capital of the Province of Oriath.

## Brief History

Oriath was once a collection of city states that warred and schemed with and against each other. After the damage caused by the first Khan, a weak alliance between most of the cities was formed, but they still clashed against each other for leadership. During this time, the city of Redcourt was founded by escaping slaves, shattered tribes, and other refugees from Feridan. Due to the surge in population, Redcourt became the strongest of the city states, but tried to stay out of the political games of the other city states. When the second Khan arose, refugees told stories of slaves being forced to build warships and Redcourt responded by building its own fleet. The other city states sent some support, but mostly prepared for a ground invasion like the first Khan had attacked with.

A refugee and former pirate named Captain Rand Seastrong took charge of this new navy and began training it. When the Feridan navy finally arrived, they were ambushed in the strait leading into Emerald Bay. Many Feridan ships weren't able to maneuver and were beached in the swamps. Many raiders drowned or were swallowed by the marshy ground. The Khan was also slain in the combat which threw the surviving raiders into complete confusion and the threat to Oriath was abated.

Rand Seastrong's popularity was massive and he leveraged it to become Duke of Redcourt and eventually King of Oriath. The timely deaths of a few of the leaders of the city states likely helped, but no accusations against the new king were ever made.

Oriath flourished over the next couple hundred years and kept its borders secure against both Feridan raids and its neighbors to the north. The Kingdom of Aglarond was a long term trade partner and eventual ally against the Empire of Vecracan, but both were eventually defeated and the Kingdom of Oriath was absorbed.

沈黙が横たわる真昼に

主張する二つの鼓動

いつだって私の方が駆け足で

散らかった思考が　陽に透けて煌めいた

気づいていますか？

近くて遠い　二人名前はまだいらない

きっとよくある明日の前に

見つけあった今日が　愛おしいとか

どうして　笑えない？

あと何十回、何千時間　一緒にいれば

“いつも通り”と呼べるようになれるかな

挙動不審な感情は　時に自分さえ裏切って

振りかざす純情じゃ　泣いてるみたいだ

いつも通りの復習させて

もっと二人の今日に

溢れて　光った

思いを抱きしめていこう

だって待ってる　駆け足で待ってる

だから今日も待ってる　追いついてよ

Silent lies in the mid day

Two hearts are beating showing their existence

I am always the one who's running

My scattered thoughts are see through in the sun and shining

Have you noticed?

Close yet far, we don't need to know names yet

Before the ordinary tomorrow

There's the precious today we found

Why can't we laugh?

I wonder how many times and how many more hours

We need to spend to become "usual"

Odd feelings sometimes betray myself

Expressing pureness too much makes me looks like I am crying

Let us repeat as usual today

Overflowing and bright feelings

Let's hold onto them

Because I am waiting, I am waiting as I'm running

I am again waiting today, please catch me
Expanding on some terms used

Number of Factions, how important will interacting with them will be, and how much of an effect will they have on the world.

## Tactics:

Grid based combat, how much of an adventure/session will be spent fighting.

## Character Focus:

How much the GM will focus on incorporating player backstories into the campaign.

## Player Buy-In:

What attitude is required for the players to have fun? The campaign will only work if players… something.
Battle of Celeste

## Background

The months between the Battle of Highwater Pass and the Battle of Celeste were frustrating ones for King Hamel Seastrong of Oriath and King Thogur Blueheart of Aglarond. While they had caused great injury to the Vecracan army in the two major battles of this campaign, they were not able to capitalize on it. Under Duke Stalrag and Krinn Imdil, Vecracan forces attacked supply lines and laid ambushes which prevented the two kingdoms from combining their armies. King Thogur Blueheart finally had enough and had his army punch through the harassing forces at Hamath and marched for Redcourt. Emperor Relgorn had been waiting for this and quickly marched towards Celeste.

Upon reaching Celeste, King Thogur's scouts returned with bad news. The combined forces of Duke Stalrag and Krinn Imdil held the ford to Redcourt. Even worse, the reinforced Vecracan army under Emperor Relgorn was almost upon them from Dorndale and had sent cavalry to prevent a retreat to Hamath.

## Battle

Pinned on all sides, the Dwarves tried to create earthwork fortifications. Unfortunately for them, they weren't given enough time. Vecracan forces attacked from all sides and slaughtered the Aglarond forces. King Thogur found a weak point in the Vecracan lines and was able to punch his way out, but he left over half of his forces behind, whether dead, wounded, or captured.

## Aftermath

With the defeat of Aglarond's army, the combined Vecracan forces marched to Redcourt where King Hamel surrendered.

The Aglarond army was too weak to continue fighting, so when King Thogur was eventually offered to keep his kingdom's sovereignty in exchange for tribute, he had no other choice but to accept.
Fallmoure

The following is composed from excerpts from an ancient text now lost to time. Many argue about the validity of them, but no one has anything that contradicts it.

Fallmoure was an ancient and powerful Dwarven kingdom that welcomed many other races. It is believed to have fallen to a Drow invasion almost 1000 years ago, but few survived and their stories have been lost to time. Some treasure hunters have entered Fallmoure, but those that venture too deeply never return.

Its smiths and craftsman created weapons, armor, and other items greater than anything than can be made today. It also seems that they were able to craft magic into items better than those can today. Few artifacts of this time exist and those that possess them guard them greedily.

Kingdom of Aglarond

## Overview

The Kingdom of Aglarond is a decent sized dwarvish nation and has been ruled by King Thogur Blueheart for the last 50 years. It's mostly underground capital of Highwater is the only major city within the nation, but small settlements exist through most of the mountain range it exists on. Aglarond has paid a large yearly tribute in gold and precious raw materials to the Empire of Vecracan since they and their ally of Oriath were defeated.

## Brief History

The Kingdom of Aglarond is probably the oldest nation on Aboris, having existed for almost 600 years. Its earliest records tell of wars with Duegar and Drow that they still fight with to this day. In addition, the dwarves of Aglarond have always happily assisted those that settled nearby against raids from Feridan. Their military culture lead them to many victories until they were soundly defeated by the Empire of Vecracan.

Economically, the mountains the kingdom claims are rich in all kinds of raw materials, both mundane and magical, as well as gems of all kinds. The kingdom's smiths and craftsman are also among the best in all of Aboris.
Kingdom of Allanor

## Overview

The Elvish Kingdom of Allanor is a strange and mysterious place to anyone from Aboris. What can be seen of their kingdom from Damon's Gulf is thick forest or jungle and the city of Blackwatch. Those that survived sneaking into their lands or restricted areas of Blackwatch tell of the Elves hunting them like animals for breaking their laws.

Blackwatch is the only place that outsiders are allowed on Allanor's soil. Despite this, trade between Aboris and Allanor is quite high and profitable. Allanor's main exports are spices, exotic woods, foods, and masterfully crafted goods of all kinds.
Tribal Kingdom of Feridan

## Overview

The Tribal Kingdom of Feridan is usually a loose coalition of tribes that cover the vast continent of Feridan. These tribes will defend each other against those that have attempted to invade and conquer, but they still fight and kill each other when not threatened as well as sending raids into Aboris. From time to time, a Khan will rise and conquer most or all of the tribes and will lead a great horde into Aboris for glory, slaves, and loot. From talking to traders that bravely, or foolishly, venture into Feridan, it is believed that their population is around 4x that of all of Aboris.

There have been three confirmed Khans. The first Khan sent a horde into Aboris without leading it, but died in Feridan to unknown causes. The second Khan was slain in a naval battle against the first King of Oriath. The third Khan died during an incursion into the then Kingdom of Vecracan, though no one took credit for killing him.
