Ryk River

The Ryk River is one of the largest and most important rivers in Pettylin. The river is fed by Lake Wessex to the south, and the north end empties into the Sunset Sea.

The Ryk River is a critically important trade artery. A number of important petty kingdoms of Pettylin are clustered around the Ryk, including the Kingdom of Lundene, the Kingdom of Bebbanburgh, the Kingdom of Wintanchaester, and the Kingdom of Cent.

The River Lyk and Aero River both branch off in a southeasterly direction from the Ryk river.

The Them River branches off in a south-southwestern direction from the Ryk river.
Leoffaed

Leoffaed is married to Aerthos Brightblade, and is Queen of the Kingdom of Lundene. She is ealdorman of Swifryk, the northernmost earldom of the Kingdom of Lundene, and the only female ealdorman in Lundene. Her first husband, the previous ealdorman of Swifryk, was killed in the civil war by the forces of Lord Beohtric, ealdorman of Rykmill. Her son by her first husband is 6 years old.

King Uhtred of Bebbanburgh is her first cousin.

Lord Beornraed the Rude is her older brother.

She was very close friends with Vhaerun, who was her sworn protector. She is a psychic sorceress, though with Vhaerun's death, this is known only to Aerthos.
Uhtred the Younger

Uhtred the Younger is the oldest son of Uhtred, king of Bebbanburgh.

He was the presumed heir of Uhtred until it was discovered that he was conspiring with the Aes Sedai, of which he is a member, to assassinate his father. He had suborned Gerald, Serini's youngest and dumbest son, in order to do so.

He has flattered the young green dragon, Rearden'Ed.

He has been sentenced to die by his father, but his execution has been interrupted by the appearance of Hael Bebba. and the Demon Dwarves.

He and Piekoff, the dragonborn niece of the scholar Jalofsky and herself another member of the Aes Sedai, were also somehow involved with the resurrection of the great and terrible red dragon Rand'Ayn.

He is resentful that he is not more appreciated in his kingdom, despite his intellectual prowess, due to his lack of martial talent.
Uhtred the Crafty

Uhtred the Crafty was a Saxangle who seized the Kingdom of Bebbanburgh from Hael Bebba through a combination of cunning and force. He is an ancestor of the current King Uhtred.

Uhtred the Crafty's seizure of the kingdom of Bebbanburgh from Hael Bebba is the reason Hael Bebba is sworn to kill Uhtred and all his family line.
Dwarven Clans

Purist Dwarven societies are organized into clans, typically led by a "chief" or "laird", or occasionally by a king. Such social organization can also still be found in predominantly dwarven communities that have joined larger Saxangle societies but have not yet fully assimilated, such as Clan Lorn in the Kingdom of Lorn.
Beornraed the Rude

Beornraed the Rude is the ealdorman of Dunmine.

He is the brother of Queen Leoffaed of the Kingdom of Lundene, and the brother-in-law of King Aerthos. Beornraed is also the first cousin of King Uhtred of Bebbanburgh.

He is a well respected and very fearsome warrior (level 5 fighter). He compelled the band of adventurers to pay him a significant portion of the loot that they won fighting the kobolds in the mines of Dunmine.

Beornraed swears compulsively, giving rise to his moniker, and may possibly suffer from Tourette's Syndrome.
Serini

Serini Fentmilt is a player character. A halfling wise woman with a sharp tongue, uncommon sense, a brood of children scattered across the land, she has been chosen by the Feywild to be their champion and representative in the conflicts to come.

Serini has been gifted by a high-lady of the Fey with a magical staff, enhancing her already impressive powers over the natural world.

For reasons that are not well understood, Serini's skin has changed to quite unnatural colours, including blue and green. Dr. Koppel Schleppen, a noted scholar and department head at Yalevard University, has opined that this may be because the staff acts as a conduit to the Feywild itself, a place that is by its nature inherently chaotic and constantly changing.

Serini travels with the band of adventurers who have been so instrumental in assisting Pettylin throughout its recent troubles. She and Solveig are the only two of the original adventurers to yet travel with the band, with the other original members having disappeared or fallen in battle. She acts as a sort of mother to the group, a role she knows well, having raised nine children. Her patience and common sense approaches to understanding and facing the many challenges and threats facing the group have often meant the difference between success and failure, and at times, between life and death.
Warlock

Warlocks are seekers of the knowledge that lies hidden in the fabric of the multiverse. Through pacts made with mysterious beings of supernatural power, warlocks unlock magical effects both subtle and spectacular. Drawing on the ancient knowledge of beings such as fey nobles, demons, devils, hags, and alien entities of the Far Realm, warlocks piece together arcane secrets to bolster their own power.

A warlock is defined by a pact with an otherworldly being. Sometimes the relationship between warlock and patron is like that of a cleric and a deity, though the beings that serve as patrons for warlocks are not gods. A warlock might lead a cult dedicated to a demon prince, an archdevil, or an utterly alien entity—beings not typically served by clerics. More often, though, the arrangement is similar to that between a master and an apprentice. The warlock learns and grows in power, at the cost of occasional services performed on the patron’s behalf.

The magic bestowed on a warlock ranges from minor but lasting alterations to the warlock’s being (such as the ability to see in darkness or to read any language) to access to powerful spells. Unlike bookish wizards, warlocks supplement their magic with some facility at hand-to-hand combat. They are comfortable in light armor and know how to use simple weapons.

Warlocks are driven by an insatiable need for knowledge and power, which compels them into their pacts and shapes their lives. This thirst drives warlocks into their pacts and shapes their later careers as well.

Stories of warlocks binding themselves to fiends are widely known. But many warlocks serve patrons that are not fiendish. Sometimes a traveler in the wilds comes to a strangely beautiful tower, meets its fey lord or lady, and stumbles into a pact without being fully aware of it. And sometimes, while poring over tomes of forbidden lore, a brilliant but crazed student’s mind is opened to realities beyond the material world and to the alien beings that dwell in the outer void.

Once a pact is made, a warlock’s thirst for knowledge and power can’t be slaked with mere study and research. No one makes a pact with such a mighty patron if he or she doesn’t intend to use the power thus gained. Rather, the vast majority of warlocks spend their days in active pursuit of their goals, which typically means some kind of adventuring. Furthermore, the demands of their patrons drive warlocks toward adventure.

The half-Drow Ildan is a warlock. His patron is the Raven Queen.

The Drake Purist Hizsta is a warlock. Her patron is unknown.

It is suspected that Hael Bebba's lover, Reberica, may be a warlock or a sorceress (or both). If she is a warlock, it is highly possible that her patron is the demon prince Grazz't.

Warlocks are neither common nor well liked in Pettylin, and are treated with suspicion.
Jade Sceptre

The Jade Sceptre are an organization of the greatest of the Drow magi, and their apprentices.

The members of the Jade Sceptre, and the Jade Sceptre as an organization, value only arcane power and their independence. They intervene in the affairs of the city of New Drowla and its inhabitants only when they are threatened. The Jade Sceptre is ruled by the Nine, nine masked Archmagi whose identities are not known, save perhaps to each other, and those who report directly to them.

The Jade Sceptre reside in the massive Tower of al-Thulus, in the city of New Drowla.
Sith Emperor/Empress

The Sith Emperor or Empress is the supreme autocrat of the Sith Empire. The title has taken many permutations over the years and has often been synonymous with the Dark Lord/Lady of the Sith.

# Variations

## Sith Empire

The Emperor was both the ruler of the Empire and the Dark Lord of the Sith. As such they were always Force Sensitive and always leader of the Dark Council. When an Emperor was killed or ousted, it was often a mad scrabble for power to fill the vaccuum. The Sith Empire's leaders were Vitiate, Darth Marr, and Darth Acina.

## Brotherhood of Darkness

There was no Emperor in the Order of the Sith Lords, though Skere Kaan was the de-facto leader.

## Galactic Republic/Empire

Darth Sidious was the ruler of the Republic and later Empire through emergency powers given to him during the Clone Wars by a majority vote in the Senate. After converting it into the Empire, he adopted the title of Emperor. It is unknown if there was an intended Force-Sensitivity requirement, as two Force-blind individuals succeeded Sidious as Emperor in the waning days of the Empire.

## New Sith Empire

The New Sith Empire's first leader was Empress Tahraya, and there was a hard law the the Sith Empress must always be a Force-blind woman. Control of the Sith Order fell to the Dark Lady of the Sith, and the two roles were considered separate from one another. The Empress was democratically elected by the Imperial Council and ruled in decade-long intervals with no term limits.
Eroleth Elory

Eroleth Elory is the wood elf chieftain and war leader of the Wat-Chaka tribe and the father of Hylor Elory.  He was briefly allied with Uhtred and the Kingdom of Bebbanburgh, but now wishes to go to war with Uhtred and the kingdom of Bebbanburgh after Uhtred repudiated their agreement.

***(NOTE TO READER - I am not 100% clear on the details of why they want to go to war)***
Druid

Druids are persons with such a close bond to the natural world that the bond is imbued with mystical power, strengthening the person even as it shapes them. It is not clear whether it is the natural world itself that strengthens them directly, or whether they are empowered by the mystic energies of the Feywild due to its connection to nature.

They are concerned with the health and balance of the natural world, protecting it from destruction. Many try to ensure that civilized societies live in harmony with nature, instead of in opposition to nature.

They often act as wise women and wise men in their communities, as most are possessed of hardearned wisdom, common sense and a knowledge of herbalism, healing, and natural processes such as childbirth. In wood elf tribes, druids are often spiritual leaders, whom others turn to for wisdom and guidance.

Druids are more common in Pettylin than in many other parts of the known world, due to the large expanses of strong, old, and untainted wilderness.

Serini is a druid.

Mythlar is a druid of the Wat-Chaka tribe.
Archfey

Archfey are the greatest of the High Lords and High Ladies of Faeric, fey beings of godlike power, who rule over the Feywild. Each Archfey has a unique appearance and set of abilities, and most control a portion of the Feywild and have self-proclaimed titles.

Some of them were powerful fey of many races, others were the awakened spirits of natural places such as forests or rivers, others the sentient incarnations of different types of animals, and others were nobles of humanoid races with a strong tie to the Feywild who beacme so old and powerful they transcended the bounds of mortality.

The Raven Queen, Ildan's patron and lover, is one of the Archfey.

Some Archfey are regarded as deities by some races, such as the Wood Elves, and may divine or other magical abilities to their worshipers. Archfey can be contacted by a willing warlock to form a fey pact. They can also empower champions who have sworn an oath to the ancients to empower those champions as a unique sort of paladin.
Wat-Chaka

The Wat-Chaka are a Wood Elf tribe in Pettylin.

Wat-Chaka territory are the deep woods located between the Kingdom of Lundene and the Kingdom of Bebbanburgh, immediately west of the most northerly section of the Ryk river. The Ryk river separates Wat-Chaka territory from the territory of the Wat-Takka tribe.

**Important Figures**

1. **Mythlar** - Mythlar is a wise, reasonably powerful, and well-respected Wood Elf druid whom the adventurers met when he was wounded near the Shrine of Mordor. The adventurers healed him, and he convinced them to attempt to rescue the Wat-Chaka prince and warband captain Hylor Elory. He was impressed by Serini, noting her unusual and powerful connection to the Feywild.  He expressed a clear dislike for Ildan, both for his ties to the Drow and for being a warlock.
2. **Hylor Elory** - The captain of a Wat-Chaka warband and the tribal equivalent of a prince, and son of the Wat-Chaka leader Eroleth Elory. He was rescued by the adventurers after being captured by goblins.  In gratitude for his rescue, Hylor Elory later came to help the Kingdom of Lundene and the adventurers defend the walls of Mordgard in the great battle against the hobgoblins.
3. **Eroleth Elory** - The chieftain of the Wat-Chaka tribe and the father of Hylor Elory.  He was briefly allied with Uhtred and the Kingdom of Bebbanburgh, but now wishes to go to war with Uhtred and the kingdom of Bebbanburgh after Uhtred repudiated their agreement. ***(NOTE TO READER - I am not 100% clear on the details here)***
High Fey

Archfey are the greatest of the High Lords and High Ladies who rule over the Feywild - fey beings of godlike power who rule over the Feywild. Each Archfey had a unique appearance and set of abilities, and most control a portion of the Feywild and have self-proclaimed titles.

Some of them were powerful fey of many races, others were the awakened spirits of natural places such as forests or rivers, others the sentient incarnations of different types of animals, and others were nobles of humanoid races with a strong tie to the Feywild who beacme so old and powerful they transcended the bounds of mortality.

Some archfey are regarded as deities by some races, such as the Wood Elves, and may divine or other magical abilities to their worshipers. Archfey could be contacted by a willing warlock to form a fey pact.

The Raven Queen, Ildan's patron and lover, is one of the Archfey.
Osger

Osger is a Saxangle warrior, and the younger son of King Uhtred of Bebbanburgh.

He is a competent warrior and well liked. His older brother, Uhtred the Younger, is jealous of him and of the respect others have for Osger.

Osger is likely to be renamed "Uhtred the Younger" and become the heir to the Kingdom of Bebbanburgh once his older brother, the current "Uhtred the Younger", is executed for treason and plotting to assassinate King Uhtred.
Finian of Bebbanburgh

Finian of Bebbanburgh is the captain of King Uhtred's kingsguard. He is a famed warrior, skilled and experienced, and a champion of Bebbanburgh.

Finan and Uhtred are close friends, and have been since they adventured together in their youth.

Finian has a tattoo of a great silver dragon, but he refuses to speak of dragons. It is unclear what his feelings are on the subject.
Jalofsky

Jalofsky is a dragonborn scholar, whom the adventurers first met in Dunmine. He is literate, well educated, very well read, and has a large collection of books. He is conversant in a number of languages. He is knowledgeable about dragons, and a number of legends surrounding them. The characters consulted with Jalofsky in the wake of the reawakening of the ancient red dragon Rand'Ayn.

He is the uncle to Piekoff, who, to Jalofsky's regret, is an active member of the Aes Sedai cult.

The adventurers saved him from the fury of other Saxangles, for which he was grateful.

When the adventurers last met him, it was near Mordgard. He then decided to travel to ( Wintanchaester / Draconia - NOT SURE WHICH), where he thought he might be safer.

Jalofsky is quite old.

His scales are red.

Ildan, possibly due to dreamweed induced paranoia, suspected that Jalofsky may have been more involved with the Aes Sedai and the reawakening of Rand'Ayn than Jalofsky had let on.
Tillian city-states

The Tillian city-states are a group of powerful, populous and well developed city-states clustered on the southern end of the northern continent, at the other end of which is located Pettylin. Most of the Tillian city-states are located on the coast of the Twin Seas.

The region as a whole is named Tillia.

**History**

The regions around the Twin Seas were once populated by an assortment of cultures, all vying for dominance. Around 800 years ago, a leader emerged named Alessandro of Tillia. He combined innovations in phalanx combat units, Tillia’s already strong navy, and his native brilliance to conquer the entire region — except for Draconia (the most populous Dragonborn nation).

As ruler, he established many cities along the design of his home city of Tillia and moved whole people’s around the map to suit his whims. However, he held his empire together by force of personality and it fell apart upon his death. His many sons and grandsons, along with his most competent generals, claimed portions of the empire for themselves.

Over the centuries, some of the cities that were established by Alessandro remained principalities while others became republics (then back to principalities, then back to republics, then back to…). These cities are united by the related cultural and political institutions established during Alessandro’s long reign, but these institutions developed differently over time and were influenced by the native cultures that was displaced by the Tillian culture.

**Economy**

The region is extremely fertile, and produces vast amounts of food, thanks in part to the warm and mild climate yielding no less than three harvests per year even without magical assistance.

Tillian city-states have a strong trade economy as commerce is conducted across the Twin Seas.

As a result of the abundance of food, and strong trading economy, the region is extraordinarily wealthy, permitting the city-states have grown into large urban centres and allowing large amounts of the populace to specialize. The region boasts an abundance of masterful craftsmen, and a significant population of magic users.

**Population**

Like Tillia itself, the city-states are inhabited by many different races, although humans tend to hold most of the positions of power.

On the northern continent, Tieflings are only found in any real numbers in the Tillian city-states.

The vast majority of Rock Gnome communities are located in or around the Tillian city-states.

**Miscellaneous**

The largest and most powerful of the Tillian city-states is the Freeport of Vincenza, also known as the Thousand Islands of Vincenza, a massive and anarchic commercial hub located on hundreds of tiny islands connected by bridges and canals, located within a sheltered lagoon. Vincenza is by far the largest city on the entire northern continent.

Residents of the Tillian city-states look down on the Franian kingdoms, let alone Pettylin. They seem the inhabitants of these realms as barbarians, little better than savages, and take little interest in the goings-on in such places.

Ildan's mother was from Tillia.
Hylor Elory

Hylor Elory is a wood elf and the captain of a Wat-Chaka warband and the tribal equivalent of a prince, being the son of the Wat-Chaka chieftain Eroleth Elory. He was successfully rescued by the adventurers after he and his warband were captured by goblins after they had ambushed him and his warband.

In gratitude for his rescue, Hylor Elory later came to help the Kingdom of Lundene and the adventurers defend the walls of Mordgard in the great battle against the hobgoblins.

He is friends with the druid Mythlar.

Kingdom of Kantberry

The Kingdom of Kantberry is a small Saxangle kingdom located on the Trent river.

The largest town in the kingdom is the town of Kantberry.

Major villages include Tremton, Bington, and Katgard.

The kingdom is a member of the League of Wessex. It is the smallest kingdom in the league, after the Kingdom of Lorn, and likely the poorest.

The kingdom borders on the territory of the Wan-Choka tribe and the Won-Tare tribe.

**Earldoms/Communities of Note:**

1. Kantberry
2. Tremton
3. Bington
4. Katgard
Yuan-Ti

Yuan-Ti are a race of the Cold Ones, reptile folk who served the dragons when they ruled the earth. Their existence was generally forgotten, except by the most dedicated scholars and dedicated bards who only dimly remembered them through vague references and allusions in ancient books and epic poems. Even those few who knew of their one-time existence thought them to have become extinct in Pettylin.

The rumours of their demise, as it turns out, were greatly exaggerated.

In Pettylin, the Drake people are not humans, as was initially thought for centuries, but a society of Yuan-Ti surviving in the Aerohunt Swamps, a remnant population of Cold Ones who ruled the area before the coming and victory of the humanoids. This was discovered by the adventurers when they were captured and taken into the depths of the Aerohunt Swamps.

The Drake, with the exception of the Drake Purists, are now led by the great green dragon Rearden'Hen and now look to increase the reach and power of the dragons and their Cold Ones servitors. As part of such a plan, they are attempting to transform humanoids into Yuan-Ti through some sort of magical ritual, disease, or potion (it is not clear which), and have been kidnapping travellers and sailors to this effect.
Wan-Choka

The Wan-Choka are a Wood Elf tribe in Pettylin.

The territory of the Wan-Choka tribe is the deep woods east of the Ryk River and north of the Trent River.

Wan-Choka territory is adjacent to lands belonging to the Kingdom of Wintanchaester and the Kingdom of Kantberry.

Several years ago, Aethelstan, king of Wintanchaester, led the joint forces of the League of Wessex to victory in battle over the combined forces of the Wood Elf Tribes of the Wan-Choka and the Wan-Tare, forcing both to reluctantly pay tribute to the League.
Vincenza

Vincenza is the largest and most powerful of the Tillian city-states. Vincenza, also known as the Freeport of Vincenza and the Thousand Islands, is a massive and anarchic commercial hub located on hundreds of tiny islands connected by bridges and canals, located within a sheltered lagoon.

It is by far the largest city on the entire northern continent.
Rearden'Hen

Rearden'Hen is an adult (or older) green dragon, who rules over the Aerohunt Swamps and the Drake, with the exception of a few Drake who are opposed to his rule and who fled as refugees to the Kingdom of Lundene.

He rules from atop a massive steppe pyramid in the heart of the Aerohunt Swamps.

He is the parent or grandparent of Rearden'Ed, a smaller green dragon captured by the adventurers.
Dwarf

Generally, the dwarves of Pettylin fall into one of two cultural groups: the Saxangles, and the Dwarven purists.

The Saxangles, while predominantly human, have large dwarven and halfling minorities that are well integrated into the culture and into the Saxangle kingdoms and communities. A few Saxangle kingdoms are ruled by dwarven kings, such as King Lorn of Lornburgh.

However, some dwarves reject the idea of living among humans and instead live within the mountains. Some Gnomish scholars refer colloquially to these dwarven communities as the "Dwarf Purists". Such communities are primarily pastoral but also grow some crops that can survive with no or little sunlight. They are ruled by kings or clan chiefs. They tend to be poorer than Saxangles. Their communities are known as "holds", and are typically well-fortified, due to frequent warfare between the clans.
Aerohunt Swamps

The Aerohunt Swamps is a large area of swamps located north of the Aero River, and east of the Ryk River, to the northeast of the Kingdom of Lundene.

The Aerohunt Swamps are populated by the Drake.

The Aerohunt Swamps is currently ruled over by the fearsome green dragon Rearden'Hen, who rules the swamps from atop a large steppe pyramid located in its midst.

There is not much known to be of interest in the Aerohunt Swamps, and it was not land historically desired by any of the nearby Saxangle kingdoms, purist Dwarf Holds, or Wood Elf tribes.

The small green dragon Rearden'Ed comes from the Aerohunt Swamps.
Light Green Pearl

Light Green Pearl is a Gem created by AvaTulipFan.

## Appearance

She has long black hair, light green skin, a dark magenta shirt with a yellow star on it and magenta pants.

## Info

She has never actually spoke, and it is unknown whether she is mute or not, so she will be considered “defective” unless the fans want her to not be mute.
Rand'Ayn

Rand'Ayn is a great, ancient red dragon of immense power.

She is thought to have awakened recently in the depths of mines near Dunmine, perhaps as a result of a ritual conducted by the Aes Sedai cult and a community of kobolds.

From what the adventurers understand, she seeks to reawaken more of her kind and destroy humanoid civilization, reduce the population, and reestablish draconic dominion over all the lands of Pettylin who would then be served by the Cold Ones and other slaves.
Demon Dwarves

"Demon Dwarves" is the name popularly ascribed to a group of dwarves led by Hael Bebba, the once king of Bebbanburgh and ealdorman of Hailburg in the Kingdom of Lundene, who have thrown their lot in with demons, possibly by making a deal with the arch-demon Grazz't.

They may have been aided in this by Hael's lover, Reberica, who is thought to be a demon worshipping sorceress or warlock, or possibly a cambion.

They have fell powers, and provoke great fear and consternation.

Hael and the Demon Dwarves sacked their own earldom and city of Hailburg and butchered the inhabitants, even killing Hael's wife, the mother of Hael's son Bael Bebba. They then proceeded to storm and briefly occupy the city of Lundene, burning the kingdom's navy, before they escaped by a portal.

At the scheduled execution of Uhtred the Younger, who was sentenced to death for planning the assassination of his father Uhtred and a coup which would allow Uhtred the Younger to seize the throne of Bebbanburgh, Hael Bebba and the Demon Dwarves suddenly arrived by portal, intent on killing Uhtred and reconquering the city of Bebbanburgh.

They have some sort of relationship to demon cats, the nature of which has yet to be fully understood.

The dwarven cleric, Ivor Halverson, is sworn to defeat Hael Bebba and the Demon Dwarves and to bring them to justice.
Dragons

Dragons are an ancient race of very powerful and magical creatures. The most powerful dragons had power equal to that of gods.

Dragons once had complete dominion over all the lands of Pettylin, and perhaps the entire world. Their dominion ended when they were defeated in a great and terrible war by an alliance of humanoids, led by either giants and/or hobgoblins. Following this defeat, they mostly seemed to have faded away into legend, for reasons unknown - it is not clear whether they were all killed, magically banished, forced into a magical slumber, or retreated to strongholds to rebuild their strength over the course of ensuing millennia.

Until recently, they were dimly remembered only in legends.

Dragons grew more powerful as they aged.

During the time of their dominion, they created servitor reptilian races to serve them. How they created such races is unknown. These servitor races were known as the Cold Ones. Races of the Cold Ones were thought to include kobolds, Yuan-Ti, Dragonborn, lizardmen, and more.

Some of the surviving races of the Cold Ones, such as kobolds and the society of Yuan-Ti known as the Drake, appear to worship the dragons as gods.

The young green dragon Rearden'Ed explained to Dr. Koppel Schleppen that dragons, when they are born, are reincarnated dragons who existed long ago, although may not share all memories.

Recently, the dragons have begun to reemerge in the lands of Pettylin, and appear to be seeking to awaken more of their kind, assemble their Cold Ones servitors into a mighty army, annihilate humanoid civilization, and reestablish complete draconic dominion over all lands.

Known dragons include Rand'Ayn, Rearden'Hen, and Rearden'Ed, as well as a number of smaller, unnamed dragons.

They do practice arcane magic, but their magic is strange, more ancient, more primitive, and less refined than the magic mastered by the humanoid races in the millennia since the disappearance of the dragons.

Dragons speak Draconic.

Dr. Koppel Schleppen is a scholar of dragons, amongst other subjects.

Finian, captain of the kingsguard for King Uhtred of Bebbanburgh, has a tattoo of a great silver dragon, although he refuses to speak of dragons.

Bodyparts of dragons are known to have powerful, and sometimes magical, properties. Dragonblood is also known to have potent, mystical properties, and is a necessary component of certain powerful potions, such as the potion to arrest the transformation of humanoids into Yuan-Ti.

The mighty Kuronian warrior Solveig Eriksdottir has a shield made of dragonskin, and some other trophies from dragons slain by the adventurers.

The druid Serini similarly wears armor made of dragonskin.

Dr. Koppel Schleppen has collected some internal organs and other bodyparts from dragons.
Kobolds

Kobolds are a race of small, intelligent creatures.

They are aggressive, inward, industrious, and cowardly. They are noted for their skills at building traps, setting ambushes, and mining. They breed quickly and are often an irritation to nearby humanoid communities.

They are distantly related to dragons, somehow, and are considered by some to be one of the races of the Cold Ones.

They are known to worship dragons. A community of kobolds living in abandoned mines and tunnels near Dunmine, in the Kingdom of Bebbanburgh, were instrumental in aiding the Aes Sedai cult to resurrect or awaken the ancient red dragon Rand'Ayn.

They speak Draconic.

Moron, herald of Ildan, is a kobold.

Zerxt

Zerxt is a Drake and a leader of the Drake Purists that fled the Aerohunt Swamps in the wake of the great green dragon's Rearden'Hen's violent rise to power.

She attempted to aid the adventurers when they were initially captured by the Drake.

She explained the fundamental changes that have overtaken Drake society in the wake of Rearden'Hen's seizure of power over her people, and the goals of magically turning humanoids into Yuan-Ti to better serve the dragons when they return.

She taught the adventurers how to brew a potion to arrest the transformation of humanoids into Yuan-Ti, although such potion requires the blood of dragons.

She is the sister of the warlock Hizsta, and a granddaughter of Hilzat, the last surviving Perfect. She is deeply concerned about her grandmother's mental wellbeing and alcoholism.

She is with the Drake Purists who fled the Aerohunt Swamps as refugees to seek sanctuary in the Kingdom of Lundene.
Lundene (Town and Earldom)

**Earldom**

Lundene is the largest and most powerful earldom in the Kingdom of Lundene, lending its name to the kingdom.

The earldom as a whole has a population of approximately 7,000 adults - being 4,000 in the town proper, and an additional 3,000 in the hinterlands.

The newly crowned King Aerthos has recently begun to fortify and better organize several of the larger hamlets and small villages in the hinterlands. He has done this by naming these communities as "burghs", and has raised a local leader in each to theignhood and granting them limited powers of taxation, in exchange for oaths of fealty to Aerthos and the duty to fortify their "burghs" and maintain men at arms to defend their people, and a defensible, walled enclosure in which the local residents can shelter.

**Town**

The town of Lundene is situated at the confluence of the Ryk river and the Thems river. It is by far the largest town in the Kingdom of Lundene, and, together with Wintanchaester, a contender for the largest town in the northern portion of Pettylin.

Until recently, the population of the town was much higher, even exceeding more than 6,000 adult residents. However, while the town's most experienced defenders and professional warriors were absent, having marched to war to hold the walls of Mordgard against a large army of hobgoblins, the town of Lundene suffered a brutal surprise attack and brief occupation by Hael Bebba and the Demon Dwarves which devastated the town and its residents.

More than 2,000 adult residents, a full third of the town's population, are missing, presumed killed or enslaved by the Demon Dwarves.

Even with a reduced population of 4,000 adult residents, the town is very large by the standards of the region, and continues to be a growing economic powerhouse in the region.

It boasts large, if primitive, docks on both the Ryk and Thems rivers, a powerful local market, and a slowly diversifying economy that includes shipbuilding, and a growing textile industry (particularly wool).

The town possesses a large motte and bailey castle, the seat of King Aerthos Brightblade and his wife Queen Leoffaed, and the town as a whole is surrounded by high oak walls, nearly fifteen feet high, and surrounded by a six-foot deep ditch.

Alwin of Meredune

Alwin of Meredun is a Saxangle cleric of Baldur, god of light.

Alwin was instrumental in foiling a raid on Donryk by merciless Kuronian marauders intent on sacking the village, leading directly to the capture of Solveig Eriksdottir and indirectly to her oath to loyally serve King Uhtred of Bebbanburgh.
Gnomish Universities

Universities are central to Gnomish society and every Gnomish community has at least one University that studies a host of subjects from natural science to philosophy to astronomy—every topic touching on magic in some way.

Each university is run by an organization known as "Faculty Council". Faculty Council is also often responsible for governance of the towns that the University is located in.

Gnomish Universities include:

*University of Hogstonto*

This University is divided into five colleges (Innis College, New College, Michaels College, Trinity College, University College, Victoria College, and Woodsworth College). These colleges are separate from the various departments that operate by subject and include students from all departments. There are only minor differences in approach to education and research between the colleges. There isn’t really a good reason for these different colleges to exist. And they are at constant war with each other. Riots between students and faculties of the various colleges became so common that the social fabric of Hogstonto began to breakdown. A brilliant philosopher from Victoria College came up with the solution of channeling the competitive energy into a new sport that he called Soccer. In theory, the game involves scoring a ball on a net with your feet, but after 200 years not a single goal has ever been scored. There has, however, been an average of 20 injuries per game. Rather than spontaneous riots, the rioting was now more controlled although also more regular. Another interesting tidbit about the University of Hogstonto is the Ryhigh Pretendership. Ryhigh “University” was a tradeschool located in the outskirts of Hogstonto that experimented with giving out degrees to students instead of diplomas. Enraged, the colleges of the University of Hogstonto joined forces and marched on Ryhigh “University.” For seven days the students and faculty of U of H burned and slaughtered the students of Ryhigh. Most wanted to stop after three days but the Astronomy Department insisted that seven days would have it end under an auspicious star alignment.

*Yalevard University*

Yalevard University is the most prestigious, and renowned of all the Universities.

The University's faculty and students are the most snobbish and superior that can be found in any and all the universities, and they do not fail to let all others know it.

Getting into Yalevard University is a great honour, and entire families of Forest Gnomes will scheme for generations to get just one member of their family into the University as either a student, or, better yet, a faculty member.

Dr. Koppel Schleppen is the Head of the Department of Chronurgy and Time Studies, and by virtue of this (theoretically) illustrious rank, a junior member of Yalevard University's Faculty Council.
Dunmine

One of the earldoms and major communities in the Kingdom of Bebbanburgh.

There are gold and silver mines which are mostly depleted, giving the town its name. The town was once much larger and more prosperous, when the mines were producing more.

It is ruled by Beornraed the Rude.

The ancient red dragon Rand'Ayn was slumbering in deep chasms beneath the mines, before being awakened by the kobolds and the dragon cult.
Yalevard University

Yalevard University is the most prestigious, and renowned of all the Gnomish Universities.

A disproportionate number of the greatest Gnomish intellectuals, scholars, arcanists, and researchers belong to Yalevard University. Its library is the stuff of legends (although it is near impossible to find what you are looking for without the use of magic). The University's faculty and students are, unsurprisingly, the most intellectually snobbish and superior that can be found in any and all the universities, and they do not fail to remind others every opportunity they get.

Getting into Yalevard University is a great honour, and entire families of Forest Gnomes will scheme for generations to get just one member of their family into the University as either a student, or, better yet, a faculty member.

Dr. Koppel Schleppen is a professor at Yalevard University, and is the Head of the Department of Chronurgy and Time Studies.
The Empire's Queen

*The Empire's Queen* was a title posthumously bestowed to Darth Amorosa by Empress Na'sara and followed a belief among many in the Empire that Amorosa was it's true leader. Though Tahraya and later Na'sara had been appointed Empress, the Empire's laws and beliefs were built from whole cloth by Amorosa herself. The entire Empire worked toward her goals, ends and ideals. Though Amorosa would frequently disagree, saying that without the volunteers of the Outer Rim Fleet the Empire wouldn't exist, it remained a common sentiment that she forged their way of life herself, making her the Empire's true Queen.

The bestowment of this title by the Empress made her the subject of criticism from Amorosa's children, who saw such a wanton disregard of their mother's wishes to be deeply disrespectful.
Kingdom of Wintanchaester

The Kingdom of Wintanchaester is a powerful Saxangle petty kingdom in Pettylin.

The kingdom is led by King Aethelstan.

The chancellor is Irkenwald.

It is the leader of the League of Wessex, a group of four petty kingdoms that the Kingdom of Wintanchaester has loosely bound together through diplomacy and war.

It is located along the Ryk River, significantly south of the Kingdom of Lundene.

Major communities:

1. Wintanchaester - The largest town by far.
2. Sothryk - village
3. Midton - village
4. Halfton - village
5. Essew - village
6. Trengard - village
7. Hartoburg - village
8. Wessew - village
9. Torhill - village
10. Trewgard - village
Northern Ryk League

Historically, the northernmost Saxangle kingdoms close to the Ryk, all located at the northern end of Pettylin, had organized themselves into a trading league and mutual defence pact called the Northern Ryk League.

While the league collapsed centuries ago, King Aerthos of Lundene and King Uhtred of Bebbanburgh have recently reformed the league, and are expected to seek other members to join.
Chronurgy and Time Studies

"Chronurgy", also known as "Time Studies", is a brand-new field of arcane magic, pioneered by the brilliant Dr. Koppel Schleppen, and the name of an academic department at Yalevard University dedicated to the academical study of the same, not coincedentally also headed by Dr. Koppel.

It is the only one of its kind in the world. "Department" may be a generous term, as it is in fact made up of Dr. Koppel, an irascible and aged physics professor who left his previous department in a huff, and three put upon graduate students.

The Department was treated as a goodnatured joke by most other serious faculty at Yalevard University for a long time.

To be fair, a lot of what the Department seemed to produce, and continues to produce, is empty liquor bottles, heaping piles of dreamweed ashes, intellectual garbage, and treatises filled with philosophical gibberish that is nigh incomprehensible even by Gnomish standards. Koppel's half-cocked theory of "vibrating strings" may fall into one or both of the latter two categories, although he continues to heatedly insist that his theory is a work in progress and will fundamentally change how everyone views and understands the "Cosmere" (another theory of Koppel's that is again, generously put, yet to be fully developed).

Notwithstanding its small size, the department has, in fact, made several important discoveries over the last few decades, the implications of which are only beginning to be realized. They have developed new ways of understanding time, and even twisting it, developing a few new spells in the process. This has earned them a measure of grudging respect from many of the other faculty.
Franian kingdoms

The Franian kingdoms are a collection of human kingdoms, located where the original Saxangle kingdoms were located.

The ancestors of the Franians arrived through the Great Portal centuries ago, when it opened suddenly along the beaches of the Sunset Sea. Out of the Great Portal came a horde of horse warriors known as the Fran who had been displaced from their own homeland by Orcs. These horse-warriors used a combination of martial and magical skills in battle, overwhelmed the Saxangles and conquered all their lands in the space of only a decade.

Most Saxangles that survived the conquest by the Franians resigned themselves to living under the rule of Fran overlords, who treated them with scorn. Many, however, chose to leave their ancestral lands and head towards the Great Northern Forest. These lands were mostly populated by Wood Elves, the descendants of the army that brought down the City of Drowla, and Dwarves that worked the mines and controlled the mountains. The arrival of the Saxangles began centuries of warfare as the humans, and halflings driven from the Moot, cut down the forest and established settlements and displaced the wood elves and dwarves just as they had been displaced by the Franians.

The Franian kingdoms are somewhat, but not entirely, comparable in technology and social organization to 13th and 14th century France.

They practice traditional medieval fealty, have distinct social strata which it is hard to escape, prize horsemanship, and have an organized study of arcane magic. Their armies, particularly their heavy cavalry, are feared throughout the known world.

The kingdoms themselves are frequently fighting amongst one another. However, these kingdoms are generally far larger, far wealthier, far more populous, and far more developed than any of the petty kingdoms in Pettylin.

They are known to breed warhorses.

Magic is far more common in the Franian kingdoms than it is in Pettylin.

True Eldritch Knights originate in and are the product of unique Franian training.

Traditional chivalric orders originate in the Franian kingdoms.

The Franians worship the Dragonlance pantheon.

They have a great hatred of orcs and half-orcs.

Aerthos Brightblade, now king of Lundene, was raised in the Franian kingdoms.
1st Shingōan National Election

The **1st Shingōan National Election** was held on 21 July 135 to determine the composition of the first Parliament of the Empire of Shingō. All 35 seats of the national legislature were up for election.

### Electoral System

Members of Parliament were appointed by regional lords known as *Hakushaku*, who each respectively ruled over various municipalities across the empire. Lords in major metropolitan regions, such as the capital Chukyo, were permitted to appoint multiple members of Parliament while lords in smaller townships were only permitted to appoint one member. Some lords utilized meetings with regional intellectuals, bureaucrats, and other elites in the process of appointing members; however, the lords themselves exercised ultimate authority regarding appointments.

### Results and Background

Following the inauguration of all new members of Parliament, the majority of members joined to form the Liberty Caucus, which sought to strengthen the newly-established governmental system and the rights of regional lords. This organization was later solidified into the Liberty Party the following year in 136 G.E. Sōsuke Koide emerged as the leader of the Liberty Caucus and was nominated by the Parliament to serve as the first prime minister of Shingō. Koide was subsequently confirmed as prime minister by Emperor Reigen and officially began his term on July 30th.

The other political factions that had formed in the Parliament were the Farmers Union (later the Farmer-Labor Party), the Constitutional Empire Caucus (later the Constitutional Empire Party), and the Imperial Restoration Union (later Imperial Restoration Party).

The election came as a result of the Constitutional Monarchy Reforms of 135 G.E. which greatly limited the power of the Emperor and devolved governmental authority to regional lords and bureaucrats These reforms had resulted from several years of protests against the Imperial Government and its ongoing war with Tsukimotoan Independence Forces. A compromise was eventually reached on 6 August 135, and Emperor Reigen made a public statement announcing the creation of the National Parliament, the empire's new governing body.

*Note: Not all elected representatives campaigned as official members of political parties; however, most members ended up caucusing with either of the four parties in parliament.*
Drake Purists

The Drake Purists are Drake who do not wish to serve the dragons, and wish to remain true to traditional Drake culture, insofar as it is possible to do so. Like all Drake, the Drake Purists are Yuan-Ti of various types. They number a little over 600.

The Drake Purists have escaped the Aerohunt Swamps, now ruled by the fearsome green dragon Rearden'Hen, as refugees and have been led by the adventurers to seek sanctuary in the Kingdom of Lundene.

There are plans to settle them in the depopulated earldom of Hailburg.

**Persons of Note**:

1. **Hizsta** - Warlock of some power.  Granddaughter of Hilzat (the Last Perfect). Sister of Zerxt. It is unknown who her Warlock patron is.

1. **Zerxt** - Taught us to brew the substance that keeps the change at bay.  Sister (?) of Hizsta, and a granddaughter of Hilzat (The Last Perfect).
2. **Zeyvar** - Leader of a large group of the resisters.  Some sort of warrior.
3. **Hilzat** - Last of the Three Perfects who ruled the Drake before the dragon Rearden'Hen awoke.  Grandmother of Hizsta and Zerxt. She is (or was?) an alcoholic.
