Baronies of the Mesorban Plains

The **Baronies of the Mesorban Plains** are a collection of small states that dot the Mesorban Plains. Not all are actually baronies, though as the majority are, they are known by that collective noun. None are considered major players in global geopolitics, and thus are often lumped together into an undifferentiated mass. The majority are members of the Union of the West, though some claim independence. Some of the most remote states on the plains are controlled by assortments of religious and political fanatics running micro-states in lands where the resources are so deficient that no regional power has bothered to incorporate the territory.

Barony of Adamant Creek

The **Barony of Adamant Creek** is the political unit administering the region of the Jomor Mountains within the kingdom of Veriga. The administration is focused in the small mining town of Adamant Creek. The most important site of the barony is Mt. Michael, a large mountain with an incredibly large deposit of gold and adamantium discovered by the Dwarves of Jomor in 297 AM, which precipitated the Jomoran-Verigan War of 297. The other most important town of the region is Kasureta, a formerly independent mountain village with one of the only semi-legal brothels in Veriga (though it is technically outside of their borders).

The Baron as of 298 AM is Archibald Firecreek. His heir is Fern Firecreek.
Sally Oakglade

**Sally Oakglade** is the countess of Oakburg, and cousin of Carine Summerwing. Born by a runaway sister of Amber Oakglade with a stableboy she fell in love with, Sally was born in the rural village of Kasureta. Her parents were very poor but happy together, but they died when she was a young girl. She was taken in by a friend of her parents, the matron of the local brothel, and eventually joined the brothel as one of its most popular prostitutes.

When Carine came to town looking for dwarven spies, they met and realized they must be related due to their uncanny similarity. Eventually they figured out the connection, and upon a later visit she was convinced to leave her work in the brothel and become a countess in exchange for her foster mother's business being left intact following the town's incorporation into the territory of Veriga, where prostitution is illegal.

A thoroughly sexual person, Sally has no qualms whatsoever about her actions which is deeply shocking to the prudish people of Veriga.

Descended from the Oakglade family, she holds the celestial blood of Marianne the Blessed in her veins, and while quite powerful regularly uses her skills for more sensual pleasures instead of combat.
Naoko Yama

**Naoko Yama** was a member of the Shining Knights, the personal bodyguard of Carine Summerwing, and later the baroness of Soottown in Veriga. A powerful holy warrior, she stood over six feet tall and had long flowing red hair, traits which made her an object of desire for many in and out of the order. Her greatest combat achievement was the successful defeat of the half-formed demon lord Enviris and saving her mistress Carine in the struggle.

At one time she was the lover of Cale Riverdane, but after being abandoned by him during the debacle surrounding the noble's connection with Lillith, she went on to work for Cale's stepsister Carine. Through that connection she would meet the heir to Soottown Frank Hayes, with whom she eventually fell in love and wed. For a short time she was also the lover of Carine and Fern Firecreek.
Amber Brightmane

**Amber Brightmane** is an elven cleric and druid devoted to nature and the gods Gern, Chime, Shyver, and Pym.

This +5 ghost touch vicious blood crystal scythe has a misty, ethereal quality that makes it appear to be spectral in nature despite being perfectly tangible to the touch. Anytime the Scythe of Gluttony’s wielder takes damage from the weapon’s vicious special ability he adds an amount equal to that damage to his next attack roll. The Scythe of Gluttony faintly glows a deep red anytime there is a planar creature within 50 feet of the wielder. Whenever the scythe strikes a foe, the target must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save or take an additional 1d6 points of damage, which the scythe’s wielder gains as temporary hit points that last for the next hour. If the scythe scores a critical hit, the target must succeed at a DC 25 Fortitude save or be slain outright or transported to its respective plane as per Planar Binding, with half of its remaining hit points passing to the scythe’s wielder as temporary hit points. Any creature slain by the Scythe of Gluttony has their soul devoured by the scythe and cannot be revived unless through a Miracle or Wish spell.
Vlaxala

**Vlaxala** is a magma dragon. As a granddaughter of Vixivarius, she is an incredibly proud dragon, even amongst her own kind. She is highly aware of her impressive lineage, power, and status. Due to the high amounts of Adamantium (one of the few substances even tougher than dragon scales) in her grandsire's realm and the highly skilled Kobolds who live there and work the forges, she has long learned to fight with armor in addition to her scales. She is vain, loves treasure, demands to be treated with respect by even kings, and is ravenous in her hunger. The only person she truly respects is Carine Summerwing, who met and befriended her during the inquisitor's excursion through the Underdark in 298 AM.

In 303 AM, she decided to return to her grandfather's realm to seek a mate, and returned to the surface with an egg to gift to Carine's young daughter, Amber. The egg hatched into a dragon they named Vixus. The father's identity is unknown, and Vlaxala intends to keep it that way.

Trigwocket

**Trigwocket** is a Gnome alchemist, and founder of the gnome nation of Trigwocket. An important figure in the years following the Scientarian Revolution, Trigwocket has been involved in fights against the Scientarian Empire, Phentis, and more.

### Early Life

Born in 48 bsr to a travelling gnome family in the Dorry Hills, Trigwocket quickly found his obsession in science. From a young age, wherever his family travelled Trigwocket was enraptured by the scientific advances that were being produced in the cities. He always was frustrated when his parents would force him to move along, as the gnomish convention of nonstop travel was non-conducive to proper study and experimentation. It was this experience that made Trigwocket desire a settled nation for gnomes that wanted to live a more stable lifestyle. At the age of 33, he ran away from his parents and went to study at Shiron Alchemical College. Enraptured by the power of explosive compounds, Trigwocket became an expert bomb maker and interested in the use of scientific advances to make changes in the world. He moved to Kurosekai, the largest city in Gernon, and fell into the life of a gambling, drinking, bomb making student.

### Scientarian Revolution

When the Scientarian Revolution hit, many would have expected Trigwocket to support the movement like his fellow alchemists almost universally did. But Trigwocket was a gnomish nationalist, and thought the egalitarian and global conquest message of the Scientarians would be antithetical to his goals of a gnomish state. He was also friends with many in the magical community, and was morally opposed to the kinds of summary executions and penal slavery the Scientarians employed. He left Kurosekai along with many of his friends when Alek Tellumnar took over the central district of Kurosekai, and ended up involve in the quest to destroy the Ancient Horrors. He was present for the assassination of the last archmage of the Institute of Magical Learning in Belleza, before escaping to Nuhaven to avoid arrest by one faction or another.
Weapons of Sin

The **Weapons of Sin** are the 7 artifacts that are infused with the powers of the Seven Deadly Sins.

**Dormancy**: With no lords to serve or while under the effects of telekinesis, the weapons of sin lie dormant as well, reducing each to a +2 weapon with the noted weapon special abilities but no other properties. The only way to awaken one of the weapons is to best its original master - the weapon determines what is considered a legitimate win. The weapons of sin can detect such events and flare to full power immediately. In their dormant state, the weapons can still communicate but only if they choose to do so. Each weapon has its own personality and may readily converse with its wielder, attempt to mislead them, insult or compliment the wielder, or remain silent altogether - up to GM discretion.

Sword of Sloth: Eskil

Scythe of Gluttony: Zartún

Hammer of Wrath: Toragarth

Trident of Pride: Horuk

Axe of Envy: Longren

Whip of Greed: Posiren

Glaive of Lust: Chasas
Tellumnar Tank

The **Tellumnar Tank** was a unique alchemical invention created by Alek Tellumnar for use as a weapon against Kalderus. It was used only once in the battle with Kalderus in 15 asr, before being absorbed into the being's prison dimension.

The device was approximately circular in shape, with stout walls of alchemically hardened ironwood, and cannons facing in all directions. Its ability to withstand attack from the monster is legendary, even though it wasn't able to save the life of the western emperor.
Odissan Calendar

The **Odissan Calendar**, also known as the **Old Imperial Calendar**, was the calendar in use by the state of Odissa and several nearby realms. It is a problematic calendar due to the complexity of the lengths of the months and lack of leap years, but attempts to replace it with a new calendar have so far been unsuccessful. Most of the calendar is based on divisions of the number 6.

### Years

Years are designated from before the Age of the Masters (B.A.M.) or during the Age of the Masters (A.M.) This refers to the Academic Revolution that placed the Masters of Khurash Academy as the executive heads of the government of Odissa and deposed the oligarchic nobility from power. Due to the lack of Leap Years in the system, and the base 6 system, each year always has 366 days. As the seasons drift out of alignment over decades occasional forced Skip Days that cut off the end of Springtide before the weather becomes too hot and the solstices go out of alignment, literally cutting the last few days of the year from the calendar and jumping ahead in "time" to catch up. The lack of consistency is why many attempts at a replacement have been suggested.

### Months

* Heatall: 48 days long, 8 weeks long
* Sunte: 48 days long, 8 weeks long
* Harvestas : 42 days long, 7 weeks long
* Preparas: 48 days long, 8 weeks long
* Froste: 48 days long, 8 weeks long
* Chillim: 36 days long, 6 weeks long
* Buddin: 48 days long, 8 weeks long
* Springtide: 48 days long, 8 weeks long

### Days

There are 366 days in a year, and 6 days in a week, the last day of which is a designated day off of work for all in society (mostly).

* First Day
* Second Day
* Third Day
* Fourth Day
* Fifth Day
* Rest Day

There are a numerous amount of holidays spread across the calendar.

* New Year's Day: 1st of Heatall
* Burning Blades Festival: 20th of Heatall
* Feast of Embers: 24th of Sunte (intended to be on the Summer Solstice)
* Candlemaking Day: 15th of Chillim
* Winter Hunt: 16th of Chillim
* Vigil Night: 17th of Chillim (intended to be on the Winter Solstice)
* Feast of the Candlemarch: 18th of Chillim

Powers If the weapon is active (see Dormancy):

3/day: Break, Rage, Blood Rage

This +5 Furious Impact Shattering Fire-Forged Steel intelligent warhammer is a wonder of craftsmanship and destructive power. Due to the weapon’s ability to cast Rage and Blood Rage, it is able to enable any wielder to gain the powers of it’s furious quality. A Barbarian or Bloodrager wielding this warhammer gains a pool of 10 extra rounds of rage per day, which reset whether or not the wielder used the points.
Trans-Gernon Railway

The **Trans-Gernon Railway** is a massive undertaking of railroad construction linking the far northern city of Skarlsboro to the Scientarian capital of Belleza, routed through the continent's largest city of Kurosekai. Mostly completed by 35 asr, it has been a major artery of trade and commerce for the continent.
Thimble Goodfellow

**Thimble Goodfellow** is an elven druid from Rainbase, an oasis in the middle of the Redwall Desert. He loved all of nature deeply and sought out the beauty in the unforgiving desert, which sadly ran him afoul of the dictator of Kelwas, Zithi. For years he was forced to labor in the mines of the Antax Mountains, before luckily gaining his freedom from one of Zithi's twisted games. He joined the insurgency against Zithi alongside Vel, and fell in battle at the Kelwas Arena. His soul later manifested in the mind of his friend and former inmate Kityu Durinn, before eventually swapping places with her physical form after Kityu's death. He then continued on in the battle against Saborys Skin Weaver in the overarching story to keep the power of the Library of Infinite Sands out of the hands of evildoers.

Shank

**Shank** is the goddess of Murder, Robbery, Poison, and Greed. An evil goddess, Shank is usually worshipped by unrepentant criminals looking for a patron that defends their conduct, as well as some particularly greedy business magnates devoted more to the acquisition of wealth by any means necessary.
Quata

**Quata** is a dwarven city in the Kingdom of Jorundum. A frequent site of war due to it's position leading north into the heartland of the realm, Quata is a fortress of unquestioning importance.

In the 860s bsr the city was conquered by the Orc warlord Kragmor and turned into the centerpiece of his northern borderline. The dwarven population refers to this event as the Rape of Quata.

After Skarlsboro was abandoned in the early part of the Infernal Wars, Quata became the temporary capital of Jorundum. It was conquered by the Scientarian Empire for a short period between 9 asr and 16 asr, and served as the furthest point that the Scientarians managed to expand their influence before the contraction following the return of Kalderus.
Vern Oasis

The **Vern Oasis** is a small commune built around the far northeast of the Red River as it approaches its source in the Maggros Mountains. Mostly made up of vagabonds, expats, refugees, and mercenaries, it is a hive of scum and villainy with pretensions of becoming something greater as time goes on.

The city is mostly run by the Sandcloaks Guild, a mercenary group that offers services to maintain the peace or to aid merchants and explorers. Other notable sites include the Shyver Shrine, the elven refugee camp, and the bazaar.
Trigwocket (nation)

**Trigwocket**, officially the **Independent Gnomish State of Trigwocket**, is a country in east central Gernon.

### Territory

Trigwocket consists of a small mostly rectangular territory surrounding the capital town of Fruferack and some of the northern parts of the Dorry Hills. It is bounded on the west by the River Ark, and extends slightly beyond the Dorian River in the east. It is a landlocked nation enclaved within the Scientarian Empire. It borders two subdivisions of the empire, including the Kingdom of the Silver throne and the Valros Province.

### History

Trigwocket was founded in 25 asr by its namesake, the famed engineerateer Trigwocket. Following the defeat of Phentis and the end of the Infernal Wars, Trigwocket was given a Greater Wish by Lucifer as thanks for bringing down his unruly subordinate. Trigwocket wished for an independent gnome homeland like he had always wanted, and the god of hell carved the space out of the Scientarian Empire. The independence of Trigwocket is guaranteed by the legions of Hell, and allows the free worship of Lucifer in the territory. While many gnomes are disgusted by the devil worship in their midst, it is by no means a state religion and the traditional whimsical ways of the gnomes reign supreme in Trigwocket.
Ruga the Swift

**Ruga the Swift** is a Brass Dragon, and son of Rugara the Kindler. His egg was left dormant for over a hundred years until it was discovered by the party of Kityu Durinn and hatched. He became good friends with the party of Desert Insurgence, and seemed poised to live a wonderful life with his newfound family, but he was tragically mind controlled by Saborys Skin Weaver and forced to fight the party to the death on Sun's Peak. He was cut down by Alphonse Seabrook, who never quite forgave himself for being forced to kill the proud young dragon.
Monastery of One Thousand Moons

The **Monastery of One Thousand Moons** is a major monastery over looking the city of Nuhaven. The temple is a major site of pilgrimage for the great moon goddess Chime. Secluded in the southern Magros Mountains, it was well known for being essentially inaccessible to those without the knowledge of its location and assistance in climbing the mountainside. Since the Scientarian Revolution, the monastery became involved in assisting arcane refugees from across the continent, and was instrumental in helping build the city of Nuhaven into the magical center it is today. It is also well known as the childhood home of King Kusetare I of Kurosekai.
Whispering Woods

The **Whispering Woods** is a massive forest that covers much of north central Gernon. Though the area was never a politically unified unit until the Scientarian Conquests, the term "Whispering Woods" is also often used to denote the general alliance of Elven cities, communes, and culture that ruled the area since time immemorial.

### History

For eons, the woods were the bastion of ancient druidic magic that lived in harmony with nature and perpetuated the circle of life. These early druid societies of elves evolved into the first elven cities in the region and the development of an insular magically skilled elite. The elves spent eons working on majestic structures and cities throughout the woods, almost always in concert with nature as their roots had taught them.

A major event in the history of the woods was the Southern Exodus, when following major cultural tides and wars brought the elves into disagreement about how best to live their lives, the Southern Elves left the woods, only to return hundreds and hundreds of years later in conquest.

When the halflings of the Dorry Hills to the south submitted to Adele Tellumnar's demands, the elite of the Woods gathered to form an opposing wall to further encroachment. The wars in the woods lasted from 2 a.s.r. to 11 a.s.r., and eventually saw the near total conquest of the woods into the Scientarian Empire. The woods gained a degree of home rule following the marriage of Adele Tellumnar to a Northern Elf princeling named Leopold Daedalus, who was named Grand Prince of the Whispering Woods.

### Ecology

The woods are a primarily pine tree forest, though the southern and western reaches do transition to deciduous broadleaf forests. Even under Scientarian domination, the woods are teeming with magical and mundane life of a near infinite variety. The Woods are also the home of a series of majestic lakes and rivers known as the Maren Chain.

### Major Cities and Important Sites

* Honigpunkt
* Tellumnar Reservoir and Canal
* Augsburg

Southern Exodus

The **Southern Exodus** refers to the movement of large numbers of Elves from their original homes in the Whispering Woods to the southern parts of Gernon, primarily to the Silver Tree Forest, and a minority to the Tropics of Josa. This does not refer to a particular moment, but rather to an era of general movement south of more lawfully inclined elves over the years from around the 1000's b.s.r. to the 300's b.s.r.
Underdark

The **Underdark** is one of many names given to habitable lands below ground that extend deep into the core of Gern. It is also frequently referred to as the **Dark Lands**, the **Deep Below**, and the **Black Depths**. It is said that the tunnels allow one to travel to the center of the planet and even to bypass the otherwise impenetrable equator.

### Locations in the Underdark

* Zevy Shryfe: Drow Realm relatively near the surface underneath the nations of Odissa, Veriga, Calliope, and Eludarin.
* Khulkaghol: Deep Dwarf realm on the border of Zevy Shryfe, often at war with them and others. Unsteady allies of Odissa.

He went on to mentor Rocco Brightmane and assisted in the Masako Insurgency.
Sander

**The Sander** is an ancient Tengu oracle that lives in the demiplane of Sunhaven.

Melody

Melody is a small village in the far north of the Kingdom of Veriga, almost on the border with the Huck Woods. A market town, it holds about 150-200 people year round and hosts about 3000 during the harvest season.

Nearby is the residence of Laoghaire, a witch, and her apprentice, Elaine Fallweather.
New Graceside University of Magic and Science

**The New Graceside University of Magic and Science** is a university campus in Kurosekai. After the founding of the Union of the West, the majority of the faculty from the defunct Graceside University claimed the Alex Tellumnar Academy of Science buildings in Kurosekai and created a new university. Because of the equipment left over during Scientarian Rule, and the returning faculty from the original Graceside, the university is a blend of magical and scientific study.
Northern Elves

The **Northern Elves** (or **North Elves**) are a subset of the the Elf race in Gernon.

These elves live in the Whispering Woods, and are also one of the oldest continuous civilizations in Gernon. They are a very conservative people, stressing filial piety, near total isolationism, very limited sexual freedom, though there is gender equality. Age is considered the most important trait of an elf, and a younger elf must always show respect to their elders. The North Elves pray most heavily to Pym, their patron goddess. Despite their highly conservative nature, they are great lovers of art, using their magical skills to help make the very forest around them art.
Silver Throne

The **Silver Throne** is a magical artifact and the official throne of the Kingdom of the Silver Throne. It is crafted from pure silver mined in the Dorry Hills, and imbues the rightful monarch with incredible resilience, gravitas, and wisdom.

She grew up in the Pale Grasses, moved to Oyashima on the orders of the dragon gods, and returned to Dragonborn Peak to await Atarka's return and to lead her to the meeting with her mother Myrrhgabrethaka.
Sulfur Pit

The Sulfur Pit is a pit mine in the Brimstone Canyons. Mining began in 214 bsr by a variety of Spicer and Kurosekan companies laying claim to the resources in the area. The mine is an ecological disaster, with huge amounts of slag rock being taken out over the centuries, including poisonous and even radioactive materials. The primary minerals removed from the mine are sulfur, mercury, cinnabar, and borax.
Saul II

**Saul II** was King of Kurosekai from 18 bsr until he was deposed during the Scientarian Revolution. A member of the ancient House Hurin, he had publicly ruled his realm justly, while secretly engaging in personal cruelty. King Saul was a philandering dilettante who abused his power to find sexual pleasure, including a particular Oyashiman harem slave he had purchased. It was from this woman that he had a bastard son, Kusetare.

When the Scientarian Revolution came to Kurosekai, Saul diligently defended the realm, but was no match for the might of Alek Tellumnar's forces. Captured alive, Saul was kept under a moderately comfortable imprisonment until 14 asr, when he finally succumbed to an illness. Before he died, he was met by his bastard son Kusetare, who had managed to break into his underground prison. There, Kusetare lambasted his father for his vile treatment of his mother, and took a magical ring from Saul that proved his Hurin lineage, as only that bloodline could use the power within. It was this, as well as his anti-scientarian credentials, that helped secure Kusetare the crown after the defeat of Kalderus a year later.
Afterlife

The **Afterlife** refers to the collection of Planes that a soul can migrate to after death. Following death, the soul is cast out of the material plane and is led to whatever plane their soul is most aligned towards. Each of these planes is a part of the afterlife.

* **Heaven** -
	+ Paradise - Peaceful good aligned souls
	+ Halls of the Host of Heaven- Martial good aligned souls that protect the plane.
* The Maelstrom - Souls that are either unclaimed by any party, banished for a crime, or who refuses to settle in an established afterlife ends up in the The Void.
* **Hell** - Evil souls claimed by Lucifer
* The **Deep** - Horribly corrupted evil souls consigned for use by the Demon Lords.
Rengit the Keeper

**Rengit the Keeper** is a half-dragon, half-elven demigod cursed to defend a demiplane that serves as a vault. On this demiplane is where he guards the Chains of the Beholden. He is a direct descendent of Ugiat the Destroyer. Rengit spends his days leading the Kitsune tribes mostly out of a desire to be done with his sacred duty. He has never left his position because he was prophesied that a dragon rivaling Ugiat’s prowess will come to claim the chains one day. Until then, he must guard them with his life and keep them from falling into the wrong hands.

In 39 asr, the chains were stolen by Menthus, the god of djinn.
Nuhaven

**Nuhaven** is a city deep in the southern Maggros Mountains. A small settlement for most of history, the city exploded in importance and population when it became the central point for various refugees fleeing the Scientarian Empire. The city became a magical mecca, and the premier site of arcane magical learning on Gernon with the newly established Nuhaven Academy. High above the city is the Monastery of One Thousand Moons, a fortress held by the monastic order that raised the young monk who later became King Kusetare I.

### Notable Residents/Citizens

* Alphonse Seabrook
* Helga the Magnificent
* Fel Honeyrose
Monks of the Celestial Dragons

The **Monks of the Celestial Dragons** are a monastic order worshipping the draconic gods Shenlong and Tianlong. Their largest temple is in Akihito at the base of the Stone Tree. They are responsible for running many of the religious festivities surrounding the Strongest Under the Heavens Tournament.

### Members

* Karrthus Dragonborn
* Liesa Lunarflame
Ushabti

The Ushabti (ooo-sha-bi) are a division of the Dalux military that exclusively serves as bodyguards at the command of the Sultan or the Ennead.

### Creed

Ushabti are a monastic order that have taken a vow of renouncing their birth name, titles, and property. They keep only the absolutely essential items necessary to perform their sworn duties sufficiently, such as armor and weapons. They are unable to speak, as once they join this order their voices are magically stripped from them from the god Menthus himself. It is believed that it is essential to strip their voices and everything of who they once were because their identity becomes whoever they serve - their voice cannot replace their master’s. They are the body with their master as the head. It is considered an honorable, sacred duty you serve beyond even a lifetime, for the Ushabti still serve their masters even in the afterlife, frequently returning as ghosts to continue service beyond that which life was able to provide.
True Neutral

True Neutral is the alignment associated with a disconnect from the main alignments of good, evil, law, and chaos. A neutral soul is usually involved in interests that do not fall within the normal moralities of most of humanoid kind. They vary widely, but they can be anywhere from druids who only care about nature and balance, amoral politicians who believe that maintaining the nation comes before all no matter what form that nation takes, ascetic hermits believing they must remove themselves from the world, knowledge obsessed wizards who care little except for the pursuits of the mind, or even nihilists and solipsists who believe that nothing matters at all.
Seekers of Divinity

**Seekers of Divinity** is a campaign storyline set in Gernon.

Mt. Naruhito

**Mt. Naruhito** is a holy dormant volcano on the island of Tsui in Oyashima. It is guarded by two kami: the Jinushigami (stone kami) Nobu from within, and the Kaminari (thunder kami) Emishi from above.

The caldera of the mountain was a direct conduit to the power of Gern, similar to a Gern Heart (though less powerful), necessitating the further defense of the site by challenging trials, and a constantly present master to defend the caldera itself. For many decades this master was Mizukachi Chisai, former mentor of Broland Skazmuppet and later on of Rocco Brightmane. For a short time this post was given over to Atarka Dragonborn. While there were dozens of trials contained within the mountain (randomly assigned to challengers who wished to ascend to meet the master), the most impressive of all was the challenge constructed by Alek Tellumnar. During his youth, the elven tinkerer produced several of his ingenious clockwork creations to staff a challenge chamber, and he left behind a workshop with his schematics inside.

After the Demonic Invasion of Akihito, the wave of dark power that erupted from the bestial form of Vile Cruelty cut off the power of the earth, and forced the volcano into dormancy. During the subsequent rebellions against Scientarian control of the Empire, the mountain served as a major base of operations.
Cranborne Swamp

The **Cranborne Swamp** is a large swampland that encompasses parts of the Caliyan Delta and the lands to its immediate north and east. Efforts have been ongoing to drain large portions of the swamp in the past century, and thus is much more habitable than in years past. It is mostly contained within the Kingdom of Caliyan and the Kingdom of Mesorbia.
Whispering Sea

The **Whispering Sea** is an Ocean that covers the northern polar regions of Gern. It is a brutally cold and ever shifting sea, with sea ice covering much of the sea for the majority of months of the year. There are several islands in the sea that are mostly perpetually surrounded by sea ice, though some southern islands such as the Cairn Isles and Rügen Island. Near the north pole, there is a magically temperate land known as Salamandra, where a rift to the plane of Fire keeps the otherwise frozen territory at a survivable temperature for most races.
Pits of Bloodlust

The **Pits of Bloodlust** were an illegal fighting arena owned and operated by Broland Skazmuppet in Kurosekai.

### History

The Pits were founded in 25 asr after the new Kingdom of Kuroseakai had been established. Broland considered it a fine use of people's skills to show off their fighting prowess (even if the local government disagreed), and especially was a place for the weird and unusual of Gernon's population to find a safe haven. Broland regularly made it his business to take in street urchins of various stripes, train them, and give them a chance to shine. For these low class fighters, Broland set up a fund with his own treasury to pay for the rent of over a dozen residents of the Dandelion Lodge. Other, more skilled and usually transient fighters, would sign up to compete alongside the regular cast of fighters. One fight a week included a death match where participants had to accept their potential death in the combat. After Broland was kidnapped by Vile Cruelty in 40 asr, the Pits were abandoned and the fighters in the Dandelion Lodge turned out onto the street. Whether or not the Pits ever resume operation depends on whether Broland or his proteges survive long enough to return.

### Regular Combatants

* Rocco Brightmane/Uno
* Zaiyen Liloki
* Dru Petals
Pri

**Pri** is a major regional capital in the Kingdom of Veriga. Set along the northern border of the Eludarin River, it is the central command center for the realm's forces when they send armies into the grasslands of the north. It is ruled by the Duke of Pri, one of only four such highly prized titles in the kingdom. Small by the standards of the greater regional kingdoms, Pri is the largest town many in the deep countryside have ever seen, boasting more than 20,000 inhabitants.

Beyond it's importance as an administrative center and market town for most of the trade coming in from the centaur tribes of the Jomor Plains, it is infamous for it's close proximity to the brothel strewn shantytown across the river known as Hookerville. As prostitution is illegal in the prudish and moralistic Veriga, many citizens abuse the proximity to the border to use the services. Moralists stand on the bridge haranguing passersby.
Zevy Shryfe

**Zevy Shryfe** is a drow realm that exists in the underdark mostly found beneath the states of Veriga, Calliope, and Eludarin.

The realm was formed mostly from elves banished from Eludarin in the ancient past, who became the source of many of the dark elves in the southern hemisphere. Due to the magical curse associated with their banishment, the drow of Zevy Shryfe were unable to survive for long periods of time on the surface as long as the line of monarchs of Eludarin remained intact. This resulted in a period of conflict and attempts of assassination that forced Queen Ikine Sunrosh into a period of exile until the power of Zevy Shryfe could be curtailed. This was primarily accomplished by a coalition of armies and counter-assassins from Veriga, Odissa, and the deep dwarf realm of Khulkagol.
Rodentia

**Rodentia** are a race of Gern. Also called ratfolk, rabbitfolk, and other terms, rodentia are furred humanoids that are related to various rodent species. They are most numerous in the Scientarian Empire.

### List of Rodentia

* Master Matthias of Khurash Academy
* Otto von Braun, member of the Emerald Vipers
* Misa, member of the Emerald Vipers
Valdemarr

**Valdemarr** was a half-orc barbarian that joined Kusetare and Trigwocket on their early adventures, The Ancient Horrors and A Call to Arms. A steadfast friend, hardy drinker, and a strong willed fighter, Valdemarr was instrumental in keeping his friends alive. He was sadly killed by Marisol Tellumnar.
Monarch of Jomor

The **Monarch of Jomor** is the elected ruler of the Dwarves of Jomor. Besides their role in foreign affairs, the monarch has little real power inside the realm, where the rule of the Clans hold sway.

Children of the Monarch are allowed to style themselves as Princes and Princesses of Jomor, and one often replaces the Monarch as Clan Leader if the leader is elected as monarch.
Myrrhgabrethaka

**Myrrhgabrethaka** is an ancient Solar Dragon, and the mother of Atarka Dragonborn, Karrthus Dragonborn, and Francine of Soleil.

Born thousands of years ago, she descended to the Dragonborn Clan as part of one of their rituals worshipping her kind, and deigned to give one of their warriors Kholagan the honor of fathering children with her. Mostly disinterested in the goings on of Gern, she does have some interest in offering power to those who worship her or to her children.

In her life on the Sun, called Soleil by the Solar Elves, she is wed to the Roi Soleil Altan, who fathered her daughter Francine.
Metallic Dragon

**Metallic Dragons** are a subclass of dragons defined by their shimmering metallic coats, and for their relatively amenable personalities. Even if the dragon is technically good aligned, they are still incredibly powerful and dangerous, and just as likely to kill humanoids who displease or annoy them.

### Types of Metallic Dragon

* Gold Dragon
* Silver Dragon
* Brass Dragon
* Bronze Dragon
* Copper Dragon
