Holy Denomination of Crusade

The Holy Denomination of Crusade is a nation in the Asprana campaign.

## Summary

The Holy Denomination of Crusade is an eastern nation and controls the most land of all nations in the world. It is bordered by the Unclaimed Kingdoms to the north and the Kingdom of Batize. The country is a theocracy and is run by a council of clerics of Crusade.

## Recent History

The borders of The Denomination grew quite steadily until about 100 years ago, when they tried to exert what they call their “divine right” and forcefully expand into Vadray. Calling upon its allies in the Democratic Republic of Batize and the Caskthane Kingdom, Vadray refused to yield it’s land. The war raged on for nearly 8 years, and was the first to implement submarines and airplanes as part of military forces. It may have carried on much longer, had an admiral from The Denomination not mistaken a ship from the Isles of Elvenkind for an enemy and had it sunk. This caused the Isles of Elvenkind to enter the war, with their ally the Kingdom of Batize supporting them. Now fighting a three front war and dangerously close to losing ground, The Denomination had no choice but to call a ceasefire.

50 years ago, nearly 100 clans of Orcs that had once been free and independent before The Dominion had conquered their lands hundreds of years prior, began a revolution for independence. It lasted for two years and was a violent and bloody war that the Orcs eventually lost.
Harley Keep

Free State of Dilibarth

The Free State of Dilibarth is a nation in the Emeron campaign.

Dilibarth is an island nation found in the Western Sea. It is fairly isolated and located well south of Cardorn and west of Pherosum.

## Culture

Dilibarth is a mercantile state and much of their direct industry comes from the sea such as whaling and fishing. Dilibarth is ruled by a small council of incredibly wealthy merchant lords who each own significant stakes in a variety of merchant industries and will trade in nearly anything ranging from spices to silks to slaves. These merchants have a council which rules Dilibarth. They call it a “free state” however in truth only those with money have any freedom and the commoners toil endlessly for little to no gain. The merchant lords horde the wealth and power, ensuring that it is only distributed to those beneath them if it is in the best interests of the Lords.

For all the questionable morality of Dilibarth their economic power cannot be questioned. Nearly all nations prefer to maintain good relations with Dilibarth lest their imports or exports suffer. The Free Council does not rely entirely on their economic power, however, as each member of the council has a large trade fleet which also includes “escort” ships, which are essentially war ships to protect the trade vessels. Many of the trade vessels are also armed so even if they lack an escort they are often able to ward off pirates or privateers. Each of the ships has a marine force of some size and additionally the Free State of Dilibarth also retains the services of a number of mercenary companies in case additional land troops are needed.

Some of the ships of the Dilibarth fleet are among the few brave enough to risk sailing on the Jagged Knife Sea to trade with the Halflings of South Point.

Queen Joycie Woodbridge named her husband, Baron Geoffry Ravenut, as the new Duke of Emeron. As protocol dictated Duke Goeffry summoned his vassals to Emeron City to swear oaths of fealty to him as duke. Naturally, Sir Arocan answered the summons.

However, he was troubled by the arrest of Sybeth and Malia. He was acquainted with both women and they had good reputations. Arocan strongly suspected they were being scapegoated. He secretly met with Sir Imlott Ebberholt, Sir Aladhos Drake, Sir Reyny Indsott, and Sir Lazrith, as well as the Great White Wizard Dillman discuss the matter. They ultimately decided that the corruption of the Royal court would take more time to root out than poor Sybeth and Malia would have, and resolved to break them out of the dungeons.

On the 28th of Griffon they did just that, effecting a jailbreak from the dungeons of Castle Finarte and escaping the city. They agreed that they would need allies to successfully identify and destroy the corruption of the crown and agreed to split up to search for those allies.

## Naming the Heralds

They came upon Halthadrian’s tomb, but had no idea what it was. To their amazement the doors opened, though a warning written above the door warned that none but those with elven blood could enter.

Fynnhanar and Fernith, though only half-elves, were the only ones with elvish blood in the party and entered. There they gazed upon the remains of Halthadrian and he spoke to them, naming them his herald and stating that they would find the next True King of the Kirathi elves.

The bones of Halthadrian demanded who stood before him and Merith announced himself. Halthadrian's spirit demanded to know if Merith sought to rule the Kirathi, and the elf responded that he sought to free them, not rule them.

The skeleton of Halthadrian then rose and advanced upon Merith, examining him. After a moment he warned *"when you light the spark of freedom in the Kirathi, it shall grow into a raging flame. It can either be a cleansing fire that brings new life to the elves or it can be a destructive inferno that consumes all, leaving only ash behind. I foresee dangerous times ahead for the elves. Are you prepared to steward the fire?*”

Merith stated that he was and Halthadrian removed the crown from his bony pate and placed it upon Merith's head, naming him the King of the Kirathi. The skeleton then slumped back upon this throne and promptly crumbled to dust, the dead king's spirit finally at rest after so many centuries.

He loved life in the army and served for decades in several skirmishes and campaigns, often fighting against monsters, duergar, and drow under the earth. By 1129 Harlock had risen to the rank of General and served in the Royal Army.

In Swan of 1129 the dragon Emerald attacked Thorgain City, striking the upper city Temple of Moradin. The dragon was promptly driven off by the Heroes of Prophecy, who soon informed the authorities that Emerald and the red dragon Starr would be performing a ritual to bring the Dragon Queen to Goric at Thorgain Peak very soon.

Harlock was ordered to scramble an advance group to march immediately while the rest of the army rallied. He mustered his best 200 men who were ready to travel immediately and marched to Thorgain Peak with the Heroes of Prophecy.

## Battle at Thorgain Peak

Harlock’s troops fast marched to Thorgain Peak along several of the Heroes of Prophecy (Lylena, Ferris Gerabaldi, Samara, Vestibule, Friar Chuck Goldschläger, and Martok Stonecutter) as well as two Heroes of Unity who were aiding them (Eddie Drezzen and Taltharian).

On the 15th of Unicorn, 1130, the forces reached Thorgain Peak, where they found that the evil wizard Salvok was already performing the ritual to summon the Dragon Queen behind a seemingly impenetrable magical shield. Worse, the dragons Emerald and Starr were awaiting them and immediately engaged the assembled forces. Thankfully the heroes were not alone. While the other Heroes of Prophecy hunted for the final artifacts, Kagami of Towa and Dandy Lion had convinced Baron Christopher Ravenut from the Kingdom of Emeron to march a force to Thorgain Peak to lend assistance. During the immense battle Emerald was slain.

While the dwarven and human troops battled the dragons Salvok was able to conclude his ritual and an immense portal opened allowing a five headed dragon to emerge and immediately begin laying waste to the gathered troops, slaughtering scores of soldiers as all five heads breathed death incarnate upon them.

However the conclusion of the spell also lowered the shield. Ferris was able to slay Salvok and the Heroes of Prophecy stormed the portal and were able to force the Dragon Queen back to her own realm. As the portal closed and the Dragon Queen was banished for Goric forever more, the clouds begin to coalesce into the shapes of heads. The God's whose artifacts had been used appeared to the mere mortals of the world.

## Aftermath

Hammerhand was praised for his efforts by King Farim himself, and was made a military adviser upon his court where he has continued to serve in the decades since.
Fiona Wachter

Lady Fiona Wachter is a female human NPC in the Traversers campaign.

Fiona Wachter is the head of a noble family in Vallaki. Rival to the ruling Vallakovich family. She has a vast hatred of the Vallakovich family, seeming to stem from her daughter, Stella, being spurned (and possibly given a magical mental affliction) by Victor Vallakovich.

When Vargas Vallakovich died and his son Victor was elevated to burgomaster of the town Fiona refused to attend his inauguration ceremony and when approached by The Wyrd Menagerie, who were aiding Victor’s transition, she swore she would never obey the new burgomaster.

As Lady Fiona had all but announced her intention to work against the new burgomaster, The Wyrd Menagerie advised the Burgomaster to allow them to arrest Lady Fiona, and he granted permission.

## The Arrest of Lady Fiona

The Wyrd Menagerie put the Wachter residence under surveillance and she seemed to accept the company of several robed figures who appear to be dressed as those from the Cult of Strahd.

The Wyrd Menagerie raided the house soon after, destroying a number of undead within and slaying several members of the Cult of Strahd who attacked them. Lady Fiona, who had seemingly participated in the summoning of a demonic imp just before the raid, surrendered. She and her two servants, Dhavit and Madalaena, were arrested and taken for trial.

## Death

During Lady Fiona's trial Strahd himself attempted to rescue her, swooping in on his flying nightmare to take her up. However magical and mundane fire fron the ground struck her, causing her to fall to her death. Strahd then withdrew.

Fenmarel Mestarine

Fenmarel Mestarine is a deity worshiped primarily by elves on Goric in the Emeron campaign.

## Fenmarel Mestarine

### Chosen Weapon

Dagger

Fenmarel Mestarine is the elven deity of feral elves, outcast elves, scapegoats and solitude. His symbol is a pair of elven eyes in darkness, though his savage priests are more likely to use the talon or fang of a wild beast slain without assistance.

Fenmarel watches over the elven borders in disappearing woodlands, jungles, and similar environments, not unlike what Corellon Larethian does in more sizable homelands.He is a particularly popular deity in Draelith.

Fenmarel teaches that the world is harsh and unforgiving, demanding more from those who, like himself, would abandon society to blaze their own trail. He advises self-reliance, for betrayal is all too common. Followers of Fenmarel are taught to be self-reliant and to use the skills that Fenmarel holds dearest: camouflage, deception, and secrecy. They are expected to be hard-working, for hard work allows people to prove their own worth to themselves.

The church of Fenmarel consists primarily of outcasts and small tribes of wild elves, and, as such, has little in the way of formal hierarchy. Outcasts from elven society who make their way among other cultures are typically lay followers and not clerics.

The church of Fenmarel Mestarine is seen with some suspicion and hostility by the elven societies of the Glave Woods and the Grand Forest, as many of its adherents are exiles and outlaws of various sorts. Only in isolated tribes that venerate the Lone Wolf to the exclusion of other deities are his faithful seen with respect for the skills they practice and the lessons of survival that they teach. Other races view Fenmarel's worshipers as primitives who cling to a god of savages.

Members of Fenmarel's clergy instruct their fellows in the skills first taught by the deity, including how to spy, survive on their own, engage in deceptions and guerrilla tactics, and use poisons to take down enemies with subtlety, but otherwise they have few formal responsibilities aside from ensuring their personal survival. Their favored weapon is the dagger.

Each individual or band worships the Lone Wolf in their own fashion. Fenmarel has no widely recognized holy days. Many elven outcasts observe the day they were banished with private contemplation, while tribes of feral elves observe important events in their own history, often correlating these with easily observable astronomical events.

## Appearance

Fenmarel Mestarine is depicted as an elf clad in leaves and scraps of clothing. His skin changes color to match his immediate environment. Lore states he is eternally sullen and serious, a perfect counterbalance to fun-loving Erevan Ilesere. His mythis state that he has no interest in communicating with members of other pantheons or non elves unless absolutely necessary, and when he does speak he is usually bitter and cynical. Although he tries to avoid commitments of any sort, Fenmarel always abides by his word, no matter how reluctantly it is given.
Grover Ruskadell

Grover Ruskadell was a male human fighter and NPC in the Emeron campaign.

Grover was born and raised in Redwyne. Strong and hearty, though not overly intelligent, he joined the local watch and participated in the occasional foray south of town to the border of the Brokenback Swamps. By 1155 he had been named as the constable of Redwyne after the previous one passed away.

## History

In November of 1158 he was captured by townspeople who had been mentally controlled by a Naga dwelling in the Brokenback Swamps. He was taken to her lair and mentally enslaved and returned to town. Shortly afterwards he arranged for his constables to be likewise kidnapped and controlled to join the Naga's cult.

On the 2nd of Lion, 1159, Grover was alerted to a disturbance at the Golden Grain Inn. Knowing that the Inn was one of the centers for the cult activity, he sent word to the Temple of Guya (the other center) and hastily gathered a group of cult members to investigate. When he and one of his deputies, Donavan Allard, approached the Inn to investigate they were met at the door by the Joined of Vesper.

Grover quickly determined that the Joined had slain the cultists within the Inn and demanded that the Joined surrender themselves, threatening to attack in force if they did not. The Joined refused, though Froderik Penderghast provided Grover with a letter and stated it it would clear everything up.

The letter turned out to be a ruse, however, and when Grover read it the document detonated in a magical explosion that killed him and Donavan and damaged the Inn.
