Æthelburg Wexley

Queen Æthelburg Wexley-Grinoc

"*The Naporian queen of Rabar was loyal to Sean Wexley I until his death, where during the Rabarian Civil War she fought for the bastard Decland Terison."*
*"*

―an excerpt from **Kings and Queens of Fly** **Æthelburg Wexley (797 BS - 702 BS)**was a Naporian lady of House Grinoc before marrying King Sean Wexley I of Rabar. After his death, she supported the bastard Decland Terison I rather than her own son, Sean Wexley II. She remarried an Elven lord from Flaeoria.

## Life

Born to the lord and lady of House Grinoc, Æthelburg was the second eldest daughter out of four children. She spent most of her childhood stitching with her eldest sister, Æthola. She had a very strong connection to Æthola, being unseperable for their early years. However, Æthola was sent off to Capital City to marry a high lord, leaving Æthelburg distraught, locking herself in a room.

However, at the age of 18, Æthelburg too was sent off to be married to the prince of Rabar, Sean Wexley. The marriage was known to many as pure bliss to begin with. When Sean's brother, King Robert V, died by assassination, Æthelburg was frightened to take the title as queen of Rabar, but was pushed into the idea and prospect.

Æthelburg was a very religious woman, believing in The Warrior rather than the common Holders of the Earth. When the bastard Decland was pushed away from attendance with the king, she made him swear to meet the baby and fgure out a proper childhood for the boy. She was pregnant many times, but ultimately failing to produce an heir except for Sean Wexley II who was born in 764 BS. She adored the child, like her husband, but still believed Decland was the true heir to the throne of Rabar as he was the eldest.

When King Sean I died, Æthelburg stepped down as queen of Rabar whilst Sean II quickly took the throne much to her annoyance. She believed that the bastard Decland Terison was the rightful heir and quickly escaped the city. During the Rabarian Civil War, her life was kept mainly secret.

When Decland took the throne, he rewarded her with a palace and castle on the outskirts of the city to life the rest of her days. She fell in love with an elven lord from the newly colonised Flaeoria, and spent her remaining years in the new city. When she passed away, her bones were sent back to Naporia to be buried with the rest of House Grinoc.

## Trivia

* She was the last living member of House Grinoc

Nightroot

**Nightroot** (**Fxo** in Tozish) is a small fungus that grows at the base of bushes around the world. The fungus is black, which makes it easier to see compared to the green foliage. Nightroot often has a thick oily substance surrounding it which can be extracted.

## Uses

### Medicine

Nightroot is commonly used to euthanize people who have suffered fatal wounds in battle which helps ease the pain. Instead of being grounded up like other herbs, Nightroot is fed directly but is often given in high dosages so the pain is felt less and the chance of death is at a definite.

It was Tozi who found the purpose of the plant by witnessing a pig eat the herb and die soon afterwards. He wrote down the effects and tried it out on a soldier who wished to die, the soldier died and the news of Nightroot being deadly spread throughout the land. However, often Nightroot is confused with Piodun because of it's strikingly similar colour and whereabouts.

### Fuel

The oil from Nightroot can be used as a fuel for torches or as a substitue of coal, but the way of extracting the oil is very difficult. To do so, the nightroot herb must be placed in a container with very small holes at the base of it, the same size as a pinhead. Then, using a hammer of a large stone, you crush the nightroot gently and keep it there, pressure to the plant, for up to ten minutes. The thick oily substance should dribble down the holes of the container and into a beaker held below.

During the Technical Innovation, the extraction process of fuel from Nightroot was held at a grand scale having many factories create the oil to be sold around the world. The price of Nightroot fell during this time, but before and after the Technical Innovation, it was very expensive.
Wislon Enamo

"I don't want to spend my days cutting up barley whilst my friends run off into the woods and mountains to have their own adventures. Can't you understand, life on a farm isn't all that it is cracked up to be?" **Wislon Enamo** to Windfrey Enamo

**Wislon Enamo**(124 BS - ?? BS) is the main character of The Lowly Farmer. Son of Windfrey Enamo, farmer of the largest amount of land in Nifi, he did not want to spend his life on the farm and was sent on a spiralling adenture.

* Squire (97 BS)
 Race
 Birth
 Relatives
 Weapon of Choice

## Legacy

After his death, collections of his adventures were found and placed together to become a production. The Lowly Farmer was the name of the play made from his adventure, which involves a lot of hyperbole and unaccurate account of Wislon's adventure. The production is often performed in Capital City and in Rabar.

## Trivia

* When Wislon is sleeping, he mentions, "sleep fairies" which were believed to grant sleep in Shakespearian England.
Alchemist Toflin

**Alchemist Toflin Xiano**(3,540 BS - 3,495 BS) is one of the Four Great Apothecaries and the founder of medicine in the world of Fly.

## History

Born in the slums of Capital City, he became an orphan after his mother, father and grandparents died of a horrible disease, to which Toflin was immune to it. He went to an orphanage in the Eastern district of the city in which he spent most of his childhood reading books, which he stole most of them.

With news spreading about his immunity to a disease which raged rampant in the city, he was taken to the Apothecary Academy in which he was used to find a cure. One of the professors was shocked at Toflin's knowledge of the world, which he gained from reading so many books, and offered him a place at the academy to help find the cure for the illness.

The disease continued to dominate the world, as Tolfin discovered the powers of Blumren as a painkiller and used it to help ease the pain of the disease.
Village of the Bards

***Village of the Bards**   "Music is our Passion"*

The **Village of the Bards**is a small village along the River Serpent where all of the bards live. Founded in 822 BS, many bards from around the world flocked to the village due to idealistic scenery and to keep the secret of the Order of the Bards secret from the rest of the world.

## History

The River Serpent cut through the Duchon continent, but it wasn't until the middle of the Era of Creation when a meteor hit the central part of the river. Thus forming the lake and the meteor which remained there. Over time, the meteor became hollow as a result of weathering.

It wasn't until 822 BS when the first travelling bard arrived in the lands, finding it to be the "root of inspiration," she moved here and colonized the area. She created several huts and bridges floating on the river inside the crater, soon many bards and minstrels flocked to the area. It became known as the Great Bard migration and soon the settlement became known as the "Village of the Bards" which later became it's official name.

The town is filled with over 97% of the worlds entire bard population, and because of this it must produce a lot of instruments. Most of the wood is retrieved from the Wiox trees north of the river, and is later garnished into the final product.

## Families

There are several families

* **Brai**(Lute)
* **Jolland**(Harpsicord)
* **Greyveth**(Pipes)
* **Mauma**(Harp)
* **Rouwen**(Rebec)
* **Kinei**(Drum)

### Residents as of Rise of Darkness

* Merek Brai
* Werson Brai
* Grandmother Brai
* Katrina Jolland

## About

The town is infamous for holding most of the worlds bards, and when songs are completed they are taken all around the globe. Music and art are a major part of the towns culture.

### Politics

Similar to a kingship, the greatest musician of the village is chosen to be the Great Bard, similar to a mayor system, they elect the prices of items and governs the village alone. Often it was the Brai bloodline which held the title of Great Bard, but when the bloodline fell by 6 BS, it was given to Katrina Jolland.

### War and Other State of Affairs

The village remains out all of all neccissary wars, but does have some intervention on how Duchon is ruled. However, unlike the other cities in Duchon, the village does not give any final reasoning and any large parts to say.
Kenoshima

***House Kenoshima**"Sword at Dawn and Dusk"*

**Kenoshima**also known as **Ninja Island,**is a location in the Squirin continent, just north of Flaeoria. It is the last remaining location on the study of assassins for once there was several islands and palaces where they taught the way of the katana.

## History

The true origins of Kenoshima is shrouded with mystery, but according to several sources claim it started as a small guilld in Staguni who followed in the way of their comrade, The Warrior. In an effort to become complete, they adorned the name Ninjas for a time, sneaking in the shadows of the cities, including Rabar and Naporia. Finally, the king of Rabar and Naporia ordered that all who practised the belief of the Warrior would be executed, and they both had a strong hold over Staguni. All of the ninja's fled westwards, towards the small island of Kenoshima.

Many women also travelled to Kenoshima as they were either already married to a ninja, or wished to seek a peaceful life. The Temple of the Warrior was erected as a main shrine and the name of Kenoshima was given. Since this time, around 21,000 BS, ninjas have lived peacefully on the island, electing a Lead Ninja who would act as the king of the island.

## About the City

The island is one big sloping hill, with houses on the slopes which lead to the Temple of the Warrior on the top part of the cliff.

* **Temple of the Warrior**is a large, golden temple that were many monks worship as well as pray at the Shrine of the Warrior. It shares similar attributes to the Sacred Temple in Staguni

### Culture

There is some similiarities to the people of Kenoshima to those of Staguni, however men in Kenoshima can either be ninjas or monks to the Warrior whilst women must follow a set amount of rules, either becoming farmers, maids or acolytes to the Warrior. For males, depending on what they chose, they must regiment their lives to 15 hours per day to that chosen belief, causing experienced ninjas.

### Leadership

Kenoshima elects a Lead Ninja who is a high level ninja and a decent follower of the faith, and must be chosen by the Head Monk as well. The Lead Ninja must act as a mentor to younger students as well as caring for the wellfare of the island, which rarely interferes with politics. A few exceptions to this is the involvement with the Siege of Flaeoria.

## Kenoshima in Rise of Darkness

There is very few characters from Kenoshima in Rise of Darkness or the Lowly Farmer, there is a brief mention of a ninja in the Lowly Farmer.

* Sanson Gillow

## Trivia

* The main inspiration behind Kenoshima is Japanese culture, which is seen through many aspects as well as parts of Nepal
	+ The Maneki-Neko is an idea from Japan which is adornished in Kenoshima
	+ The Temple of the Warrior is based on Nepal's Buddhist Monk temples
Duchon

**Duchon**is one of the five main continents in the Northern Hemisphere of Fly. It is home to Dragonbreath, Fallow, Norfeg and the Village of the Bards. It's continental banner is a wyvern.

* Nifi
* Fallow
* Norfeg
 Size
 Population

## Geography

The continent is the far western continent and is home to less than a sixth of the entire world's population. Many of the settlements on Duchon are quite small, with the exclusion of Dragonbreath. The entire continent is 1,803 miles from Norfeg to Duchon Tooth.

### Key Locations and Enviroment

To the north of Duchon is the taiga biome of The Snowy Forest, where many wolves live and feed. The entire area is filled with spruce trees and small hills, as well as ice lakes. The Snowy Forest also boasts a few villages, including the main city of Norfeg, controlled by House Welton. Just south of the Snowy Forest is the River Serpent, which divides the continent in two. Central to the river is a large meteor that has been hollowed out and now forms the Village of the Bards. To south-west of the river is the Bronze Mountains, orange mountains that hold the infamous dwarf stronghold and city of Dragonbreath which is rich in ore. Midway into the Bronze Mountains is the Lake of Dragons which is where, according to several tales, where dragons come from. East of the Bronze Mountains is rich and fertile landscapes which hold the farming coastal town of Fallow which was once run by elves. South of both areas is the Plains of Éldor which is large, outstretched fields and meadows where small hills and towns can be found. To the north of the plains is the large, bustling elvish city of Nifi. Heading further south from the plains, for several miles south, is the small quarath dock where many quaraths come to take refuge for a few weeks before sailing out once more.

Flora & Fauna
There is several animals that live on Duchon, mainly specific to their chosen area

### Climate

The region of Dragonbreath is mainly rainy during most of the year, however during Februrary, March and April it is quite dry. To the far north, the weather gets worse, often turning into either hail or snow.

## Trivia

* Duchon is strikingly similar to Britain, especially in the climate and landscapes.
War of the Two Great Cities

The **War of the Two Great Cities**is a major war which occured in Eastern and Central Fly in the years 197 BS and 195 BS between Rabar and Naporia.

## History

### Tensions Between the Cities

Although the war was only 2 years in length, it's origins of Rabar and Naporia's disputes rage to over two centuries beforehand on both kings wanting to marry off their daugthers to the same Questozian prince. The argument raged for up to 7 months but in the end, Naporia won the heart of the prince as the ice city deemed it would be, "beneficial" for them.

The final straw was about the ownership for the Amook Lands beneath the River Amook, as it was often deemed Naporian land, but Rabar ordered guards to patrol the farms near the river. A meeting was called about who would own the precious lands which was responsible for the majority of farming on mainland Pacif. Naporia deemed Rabar unsafe to protect the land whilst Rabar cited that Naporia didn't have a large enough guard to protect the land. After a long argument, both cities had angered one another.

### Break-Out of War

It was in late January 197 BS when the king of Naporia orderer war between the two cities and that they would begin to create an army to destroy Rabar. Many other cities followed with Naporia, believing them to have a higher chance of victory so hence they army multiplied overnight where as many believed that Rabar would be destroyed by the war.

Rabar marched their army to the state of Fiacail in an effort to fortify the city of Rakyee in an attempt to be closer to the enemy. During construction, the forces controlled by Blacktear Noland marched in what is known as the Battle of Brass which was a major defeat for Rabar.

All of the advisors to King Karpin Terison I ordered him to surrender as Rabar was almost bound to be destroyed by 196 BS, however Karpin I did not announce defeat and instead had a last minute alliance with the help of the Flaeorian forces and those of Cántown to which would help win the battle. Karpin was clever and using his military tactics, laid siege to one of Naporia's crucial forts located in the Farose Fields and held the King of Naporia's nephew and nieces hostage.

By 196 BS and Rabar's forces increasing, the city of Dugros and Nifi offered their help in winning the war as Rabar became equal to Naporia's forces. War soon broke out in the lands of Roda as many Free Cities were siding with Naporia, which offended the elven settlements such as Magonhorn as they had joined forces with Rabar.

In summer 196 BS, during the middle of the night Karpin I's son Soin (who would later be king in 95 BS until 93 BS) travelled to the docks of Naporia before setting alight to it. This fire quickly spread and burnt most of the dock by a few minutes, burning the ships. The Rabarian troops seized the other exits and allowed no-one to leave the city. All of Naporia burnt during that night, as did most of the troops.

### Aftermath

Rabar took control of the Amook Lands and the sinews of Naporia's land. Karpin the First was honoured for his bravery when standing up to a much larger and tougher enemy.
House Terison

**House Terison** *"Fight For Freedom"*

**House Terison**is the reigning house of Rabar as a direct result of the Rabarian Civil War, notary members include Karpin Terison III. The banner of House Terison is a black stallion against a field of pure white.

## History

When the Rabarian Civil War began, the bastard son of King Sean I took the name Terison after the tale on the death of Dalblist the dragon, and created this banner by altering it from the banner of House Wexley. When Decland claimed the throne of Rabar, the banner of House Terison became the national banner of the Rabar as well as it's original flag. Their ancestral sword is Balistag, which is a reformed sword of House Wexley's sword.

Electrostasis

**Electrostasis** (欝血電気 *Ukketsu Denki*) is the Quirk used by Satoru Kensei.

## Description

Electrostasis is a Quirk that grants Satoru the ability to control, shape and manipulate electricity. In addition, there are electrical particles created and circulating throughout his systemic circulation, which expresses itself naturally as an electrified aura or field that is sensible around him. This has been concluded due to the abundant amount flowing through his veins, something his body can't contain within.

When using his Quirk, Satoru can discharge charged particles from his body for different results, with the most stereotypical electricity ability is shocking his targets. Through his electrified aura, he can absorb (natural) electricity with the foreign energy usually being redirected out for his own safety.

    However, the pinnacle utilisation by Satoru is the refined control over the flow of energy within his body. Something used with efficiency and minimised visuality with the blank eye and can be the most fatal form of Electrostasis, which is known as "Saint's Soul of the Living". This allows him to accelerate the synapses of his target or himself or potentially disrupt the electromagnetic waves towards the brain or designated limbs, allowing Satoru, as example, to effectively increase the natural healing procedure or paralyse something through contact. For personal use, Satoru discharges the particle and alter associates synapses for the results.

He cannot control the volt-level of Electrostasis when performing destructive applications due to the typical size of these techniques. Satoru considers these as "flashy designs" or "end-game tactics", thus something he avoids at all costs. Sharing his blood circulation for the electrical particles, they disrupted the production and blood flow, leading him to several complications. One of the known issues is anaemia that often leads to extreme exhaustion.

## Known Techniques

* **Saint's Soul of the Living** (聖徒の生霊, *Ikiryō no Seito*):
	+ **Simple Touch** (単なる接触, *Tannaru Sesshoku*):

The Flaeorian Flower

**The Flaeorian Flower**is a song sung by the minstrels in the Village of the Bards, especially by the Mauma's of the village. The song talks about the city of the elven city of Flaeoria, most importantly the events that led up to the Siege of Flaeoria.

Famously, it is Merek's favourite song whilst Sanson hates the song, possibly because of the link between the Siege and Sanson's father, who died during the siege. The song was written by Richard Mauma, who is Merek's great-grandfather

As well as the Village of the Bards, it is also the king of Rabar's favourite song.

## Lyrics

*The Flaeorian Flower was white as a bone,*

*But crisp and cleaner that’s true,*

*The Flaeorian Flower grew through the cracks,*

*Rejecting others beliefs.*

*The morning rose and stood tall and proud, as it looked all around, but never looking down,*

*Contemplating it’s dream, although it seemed keen, it didn’t mind being seen.*

*The Flaeorian Flower was cut through, it’s petals turned blue, and released a terrible dew.*

The Black Cloak

**The Black Cloak**is a song sung by bards about the attack on Capital City caused by Valcruez. The song is beloved by the Greyveths and meant to be performed on a harp. The song was written by William Greyveth and can be found in his book, The Songs of New Ages.

## Lyrics

Blacketh as thy night and darken thy day,

He cometh, he cometh once more

They cry and jeer, hiding and cowering in fear

Ho, they see him, flapping and driving his throat hither

"Valcruez! Valcruez! Thine is so cruel!"

the men cry as their city burns with the feelings of ire.

The city, covered in a great cloud of smoke.

"See thineself away from this faithful place,

You dragon! You beast of pure malevolence!

Strike someone else's forgotten room!"

Instead he stands, burning and roaring

Wings stretching like the day, mighty and powerful.

No shall question his might, the power of the beast.

As the city burns to the hands of the Black Cloak.

## Trivia

* The Black Cloak is written in a dialect similar to Shakespearan
* The song is written to the harp music, Butterfly, which can be heard here
Tozish

**Tozish**was the major language in the world of Fly, written by Great Alchemist Tozi by the year 10,000 BS. Written as the key way for different cultures to meet together, it became the universal language of the world before its decline by the year 901 BS in which the other major language; Tolin, (the Fly equivilant of English) took great speed and became the new major language.

## In History

The Great Alchemist Tozi (10,320 BS - 10, 249 BS) was studying the Elves when, according to himself, he encoutered a dream where the Second Holder of the Earth threw a rock with the language into a "pit of fire" and told Tozi to find it. He bought several sellswords and made his way to Mt Axus.

Upon arriving, he encountered another dream where the Second Holder told him to place a sword into a small crevice in a geyser. After doing so, the volcano erupted for the 2nd to last time and according to Tozi's diary:

*"Great rocks came colliding with the earth, the volcano was like that of a dragon; spewing out fire across the entire island and even onto the island of Nordos (Sidqui). Suddenly, a giant flash of light came from the volcano and a huge boulder the size of six cows came flying straight near my location. I dodged out the way and too my surprise, the entire language of Tozish which I had heard about in a dream, was there."*- Tozi*s diary.*

Upon arriving back home, Tozi sent the entire language to the king for validation. The language was taught to young people and became viral.

However, there is quite a lot of evidence that shows that Tozish originates from before hand, and that the runes were discovered by Tozi, not the entire language. Some serial evidence of this is the Chronicle of the Holders, in which the original copy was originally written out entirely in Tozish.

## Runes

Old architecture, such as the Palace of Jieo, have inscribitions written in the runes as well as most old tunnels. In Dragonbreath, the Great Mine entrance has an the runes by its side.
Currency

The **Currency**in Fly are gold coins, set up by the first king of Capital City and is still used to this day, even though inflation. On the coins are written the words in Tozish, *"Nua lai lo rab, dab a eab"*which translates to, "*One gold of men, elves and dwarves"*for the main singular coins whilst others vary only by the amount written on it.

## History

The first few gold coins were made out of pure gold with the ingravement of, "Lai," on mean gold in Tozish. The first few gold coins were used from the gold ore found in the Brass Hills and south coast of the Roda continent. However, as gold became increasingly rare, it was changed to be made out of silver or iron that they could find. Finally, an agreemeent was made with the Dwarves of Dragonbreath that they would create the gold coins in return for routes to the south and better protection from dragons.

However, during the War of Slavery, the dwarves no longer supplied them with the gold coins so hyperinflation occured and cost a large amount for even the most basic of items. One of the main reasons why the war ended was because a catapult that would originally cost over 200 gold coin now became only 1 gold coin and cheap food was now free.
House Suncrack

**House Suncrack***"Burn Them All"*

**House Suncrack**is an honourable vassal house in Saroff with members including Drand Suncrack and Dancia Suncrack. The banner of House Suncrack is a purple shooting star on a red and yellow field.

## History

House Suncrack has always been an honourable vassal house in Saroff, which leads many other houses into believing that House Suncrack has a conspiracy about gaining the title of Sultan with Demetrius Suncrack playing a key part. Suncrack has always been open and true, living in the largest mansion in the city and owns a large sum of money. House Suncrack has an ancestral scythe being called, Shard of the Star.
Ronto

**Ronto'**s are medium-sized, wolf creatures that live on the Duchon and Roda continents of Fly. Ronto's are blonde-coloured foxes and are quite rare so symbolise wealth and power in large, urban cities.

## Appearance & Behaviour

Rontos are slightly larger than normal wolves, along with an altered colouring of blonde/golden fur with some white patches on them. They have long snouts and can be easily seen in the dark as they eyes are dark red which may glow in the moonlight.

Rontos behave a lot like a common wolf with a few exceptions; rontos are often the leader of packs of wolves due to them being so rare and are often slightly stronger than other wolves. Unlike normal wolves, rontos also can eat plants and berries in the event that there is no other food available for the creature.

## In Rise of Darkness

Rontos are mentioned a few times throughout Rise of Darkness, and play a key role in the story.

* Ethan Welton can shapeshift into a Ronto at any chosen time

## Trivia

* Ronto's are based on the Japanese mythologic creatures of Kitsune.
Migeaul Damos

**Migeaul Emith Damos** (186 BS - 98 BS) was an inventor and apothecary from Saroff who came up with the first design for a loom and an air ship. Migeaul is regarded as one of the most influential people in the world, for advancing the Technical Innovation with several inventions. Being the son of the general, it gained the inventor rich success with enough money to be sent to Capital City.

## History

Born in Saroff to the general, Migeaul spent most of his childhood living in a rustic house whilst he occasionally visited the fighting pits. It was during this time that Migeaul took an interest in finding a way to help and heal the sick and injured as a result of their fighting. A few years prior to Migeaul's birth, the apothecary died of old age so the city was left where it faced many outbreaks of diseases and illnesses.

When Migeaul was 9, he told his father he wanted to persue a life of education, medicine and science, much to his father's dismay. According to some sources, his father locked Migeaul in a cupboard for two days whilst others say that Migeaul was given five lashes. However, when Migeaul was 12, his father died during an infection of a wound he aquired a few months before hand. With no father stopping him, Migeaul talked to his mother about becoming an apothecary which she accepted. At the age of 13, Migeaul travelled to Capital City to become an apothecary.

He studied 9 long years at the Apothecary Academy, swiftly learning basic medicine and other such tropes as that. A peculier note that no-one would ever mention would be that he always wrote on papyrus instead of common paper, which he argued, "shows his heritage and nationality."
Hori (Brom's Son)

*This page is about Hori's son, for the advisor of Dragonbreath please see Hori*

**Hori the Admirable**(51 AS - 149 AS) is the son of King Brom and later General of Capital City's forces. He was born in the city and his father named him after his loyal advisor, Hori. By the age of 6, he became very tactical and begged his father to help whenever he had to plan an attack.
The Autumn Wanderer

**The Autumn Wanderer**is a song, written for the Mauma pipes about an ancient tradition in the Roda settlements of a mysterious traveller who offered to tell tales for money.

## Lyrics

So the road may be blunt

And the nights may be fearsome cold

But there ain’t no time

Like a shanty cold

Or the pipe of the autumn wanderer

His breath is full of mead,

And his brow is furrowed small

But there ain’t no time

Like a shanty old

Or the pipe of the autumn wanderer

Though the harvest is done

And the seasons coming to a close

But there ain’t no time

Like a shanty road,

Or the pipe of the autumn wanderer

The paw of winter comes too soon

And the trees are painted red,

But there ain’t no time

Like a shanty cold

Or the pipe of the autumn wanderer,

No matter the time or the weather

No matter the year or the season

But I don’t really care my friend,

You see, I await

the pipe of the autumn wanderer
Piodun

**Piodun**(**Fip**in Tozish) is a type of nut that is used for medicinal purposes. Although Fip in Tozish, when translated back into the common tongue it is, "Death poo," for it is often used to help against constipation. Found in any temperate climate, it often grows on the top of trees during spring and summer before falling to the ground during the colder months.

Piodun is often confused with Nightroot as, in the winter months, it falls from the tree to the base of bushes, (where Nightroot can be found) and often turns darker, however during the rest of the year, the nut is a brown colour.

## As a Medicine

Piodun is used to help combat constipation but the dosage must be monitored to just one or two seeds, if more then deadly diarrhea can occur which may be fatal. Simply extracting the Piodun nuts and then swallowing them is the common method of digestion, however if the nut is too large then by heating it, the nut will reduce in size so it is easier to swallow. A stronger form of Piodun can be made by simply adding Blumren to it which will help quicken the passage of faecal matter in the body.

This was discovered by Alchemist Toflin during the latter stages of his life, which was written down and since then is one of the key herbs in the entire world of Fly.

## Trivia

* Technically Piodun is not a herb as it is a nut, but it is one of the key herbs used in medicinal purposes.
Dominus Requiem XIV

**King Dominus Requiem XIV (36 BS - 15 AS)**was the king of Capital City from 10 BS to 15 AS. He is known by many to be the most hated king in the entire city for causing the breaking up of the Alliance.

## Life

Born to King Codius Requiem III and Fiano, Dominus was their first child and was known by many for his intense personality. He was hot-headed and would occasionally do things his own way without any input or help. When he was 7, during an argument with his parents, he ran away from the keep and travelled through the streets of Capital City, where he met a drunkard Elf who offered him some beer. He was found by the guards drunk, and the elf was executed under orders by the king.

His outgoing nature annoyed his future wife, Laisa of House Terison, but the deal for marriage was already agreed upon so they were married. When Codius Requiem III died, the throne passed to Dominus who was fully accepting of his role as king.

However, stress began to get to him as he encountered several mental breakdowns which resulted in the execution of innocence. The Alliance was already at breaking point with high prices for goods and trading routes. The dwarves wanted to execute all human/dwarf hybrids with the fear of a child between the two but the Alliance did not allow it. It was during a meeting with the elven king, Faledge, that broke the Alliance as the elves wanted more freedom and less tax for routes through the ocean. The elves left the alliance, with the dwarves following shortly, the humans finally left.

With the failure of the Alliance, Dominus was being regarded as one of the worst kings of all time, but he believed that as long as he held the connection with Rabar in the marriage to Laisa Terison, everything would be alright.

When news spread of Asmar IX's death, Dominus believed that with no king fit to rule under them that they would invade Roda and conquer the continents. Knowing this fear, unable to deal with the stress, he commited suicide in 15 AS.

He left a note to his wife and daughter, saying to keep his suicide a secret from anyone which they did with some success whilst other high lords believed that he was assassinated by a dwarf although nothing was certain.
Laphsi

**Laphsi**are creatures that dwell in the Desert of Roff and often live below the sands. They are described as silent, clever, generous and beautiful creatures.

## Relationships with Travellers

Tozi met with a Laphsi and described his meeting with them in his diary,

*"Odd and strange creatures, chipped and made out of sandstone they stand tall. Head like cats but wings of a eagle, they speak in the common tongue to those that meet us. Riddles and questions they will ask those, if you anwser correctly then they shall assist you in your travels by giving what you most desire in those meetings. If you fail then they simply waste away back into the waves. I must find out more information about them!*
Soin Terison I

Soin Tersion I of Rabar

"*The man who is held responsible for the entire destruction of Naporia at the tender age of 12"*
*"*

―an excerpt from **Kings and Queens of Fly** **King Soin Terison I (207 BS - 193 BS)**was king of Rabar and is infamous for starting the fire that caused the Burning of Naporia, though was cleared by his father; Karpin Terison I.

## Life

Born as the youngest son of Karpin and grandson to Alexander the Twenty, most of Soin's childhood he was seen as a weakling. He was never good at a sword and was described as being, "ugly," with moles and a grotesque face. He spent most of his time studying with the apothecary, much to his father's dissapproval.

His father spent most of his childhood despising the child for his, "lackluster appearance," and was always seen as a failure in Karpin's eyes. Out of pure hatred, Karpin planned to use Soin to set alight Naporia with the idea that if it worked, the war would be won however it failed then Soin would be executed. Soin wanted to prove his father well and underdid the task as instructed by sneaking into the city and setting alight to Naporia in what is known as the, Night of Flames.

Upon his return home, his father adored him and started training him to be a steward of the castle, which he prospered in. He was given the name, "the pyromancer prince," for his spells and rumours of him being a mage became rampant thorughout the city.

During the latter years of Karpin I life, Soin was promoted to advisor to the king which continued for Soin's brother, Karpin the Second for all of his reign. Soin married late in life, to Clarisa Wean, a young women who bore him five children, two perished. When Karpin the Second died of old age with no heirs, it was Soin who took the throne as king of Rabar.

As king, he was hated by most of the public and during his 20 month reign there were seven assassination attempts on his life for the actions that he brought on Naporia by loyalists. He felt a deep regret for his actions and prayed for mercy to the Gods. He died not long after, some suspect by poison whilst others suggest old age.
Religions

In the world of Rise of Darkness, religions play a major roll. In Rise of Darkness, there is only four that is known and mentioned.

## Incendium

In the Village of the Bards, they believe in Incendium, a Fire Demon. Marriages, funerals and births are celebrated in the Great Bards house in front of the Fire Demon. Due to their unknown knowledge of the outside world, they do not know that Fire Demons are nothing very special.

Werson Brai, Katrina Jolland and Merek Brai are devote followers of this religion, however Merek later converted after finding out that they aren't very special.

## Gods of the Earth

In Dragonbreath and the other dwarf cities, they believe in the five Gods of the Earth. Each God is said to be the God of that certain subject. For example, if the Dwarves want better mining abilites, they pray to the Mole God.

It is commonly they believe that the Gods are at the core of the earth, as well as evil. The purpose of the dwarves is to mine so deep that they break the Gods out from evil whilst also leaving the world to ruin.

## Gods of Nature

Similar to the Gods of the Earth, the Elves believe in the Gods of Nature. However, peoples perspective on who the Gods of Nature are, change from person to person. The people of Magonhorn and several other elves believe that the Forest Guardians are actually the Gods of Nature. Others believe that every plant is God whilst others believe in an unnatural sentient being.

For those that believe that the Forest Guardians are the Gods of Nature, they worry and wish to seek shelter due to their decreasing population.

## Holders of the Earth

*Please see Holders of the Earth*

The most popular religion through out the world is that of Four Giants who hold the world up and keep it in balance. Most of the characters in the book, including King Brom believe in this religion.

## The Warrior

*For more please see The Warrior*

Believed by the ninja's to be the only God, the Warrior is said that the greatest warrior which ever existed split himself into every living mortal. He also speaks that everyone can have the power of the great Warrior, but they have to unlock him.

It is law that every ninja must follow this religion and never convert, so Sanson Gillow never converted.

## Windros

Believed by Quaraths and sailors, Windros is the God of wind and is supposed to change the wind's direction to help your course of travel. The faith has recently dwindled in popularity, but is still key in many coastal and fishing towns such as Dugros
Sirens

**Sirens**are half-bird, half-human creatures that live in the Pacif state of Fiacail, near the coastal region on the craggy rocks. Sirens are reported to annoy sailors travelling through the southern ocean, giving it the name of the Siren Sea.

## History

The first recorded sighting of a Siren is from over 50,000 BS when a small rowing ship travelled from around the Pacif continent. When being directly south of the continent, they reportedly saw people on the rocks, laughing and joking at them. The next day, they saw large birds flying high above the ship that cackled and laughed at the crew. That night, the captain strolled along the deck of the ship and reported to his friend that he had found love in the birds. When morning came, the captain was found attatched to the mast by heavy rope whilst ten sirens, with the body of a bird and the head of a human, (most of them female) guarded his body. The sirens commanded the crew to continue sailing along. Three days later and the crew had no sleep, many of them were starving and a few died at the post whilst the sirens ate their bodies. They came across another ship who attacked the sirens, killing two whilst several flew away. They released the captain from the mast, and when free he reportedly ran to a siren on the bow and climbed on top of it and flew away.

Sirens still live on the southern coast of Fiacail, patrolling the rocks and annoying the nearby ships. The tormenting of the sails give the ocean the name the Siren Sea.

Sirens are said to be unable to tame but able to speak the tongue of Tolin and Tozish (arguable), and according to the Great Apothecary Tozi, it was his only regret on not seeing a siren in person. He speaks about it in his diary:

"*I regret never seeing a siren for it's tales; the body of a bird, dark blue plumage and black talons, whilst the head of the beheaded. I spent several months on the Elves Ear, with no vision of a siren though I did meet a sailor who had seen one. She called it beast of the underworld, mocking her family. She took me to the carrock where she met the siren and nothing lay there but a few destroyed eggs where the birds came out of.*"
―Tozi's Diary
Finally, according to many stories and tales, captain Alarish Kinovo of the Alarish Armada, he reportedly owned a siren as a pet who would give him tips and advice. The siren would fly up, inspect the area before landing back at Alarish and telling him about the guards. The siren flew away 2 months before the Siege of Dorathons and the last words were, "The bridge is fire, the bridge is fire. Beware the weak bridge!" This was a reference to the weaker bridge in the castle exploding during the battle.

## Trivia

* A common misconception is that sirens are half-fish, half-humans like mermaids but are actually half-birds, half-humans.
