Feature (B Mains)

There may be a semi-feature where unqualified racers may race their way into the remaining open starting positions in the A feature event. This race is called the last chance qualifier or B feature. The cars who did not make the A feature through the heat race or qualifying session get one more chance to qualify for the A feature through the B feature. The B length is anywhere up to circa 20 laps. Depending on how many B's there are determines how many transfer to the A, anywhere up to circa 6 will transfer. If a driver transfers through the B, they will start behind the drivers who made it through the heats / qualifying position.

At selected other races with a larger car count, there may be more "alphabet soup" features (C, D, E, F, etc.). In those cases the drivers in the lower feature race will race with a certain number who advances to the next higher feature (e.g. top two in the F advance to the E, etc.).
Paul Newman

**Paul Leonard Newman** (January 26, 1925 – September 26, 2008) was an American actor, film director, race car driver, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. He was the recipient of numerous awards, including an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, three Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, a Silver Bear, a Cannes Film Festival Award, and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.

Born in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, Newman showed an interest in theater as a child and at age 10 performed in a stage production of *Saint George and the Dragon* at the Cleveland Play House. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in drama and economics from Kenyon College in 1949. After touring with several summer stock companies including the Belfry Players, Newman attended the Yale School of Drama for a year before studying at the Actors Studio under Lee Strasberg. His first starring Broadway role was in William Inge's *Picnic*, and he starred in smaller roles for a few more films before receiving widespread attention and acclaim for his performances in *Somebody Up There Likes Me* (1956) and *Cat on a Hot Tin Roof* (1958), the latter of which also starred Elizabeth Taylor.

Newman's major film roles include *The Hustler* (1961), *Hud* (1963), *Harper* (1966), *Cool Hand Luke* (1967), *Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid* (1969), *The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean* (1972), *The Sting* (1973), *The Towering Inferno* (1974), *Fort Apache, The Bronx* (1981), and voice role of Doc Hudson in the first installment of Disney-Pixar's *Cars* as his final acting non-documentary role, with his archival voice recordings being used again in *Cars 3* (2017), nine years after his death. A ten-time Oscar nominee, Newman was awarded an Academy Award for Best Actor for *The Color of Money* (1986).

Newman won several national championships as a driver in Sports Car Club of America road racing, and his race teams won several championships in open-wheel IndyCar racing. He was a co-founder of Newman's Own, a food company from which he donated all post-tax profits and royalties to charity. As of May 2021, these donations have totaled over US$570 million. In 1988, Newman founded the SeriousFun Children's Network, a global family of summer camps and programs for children with a serious illness which has served 1.3 million children and family members since its inception. In 2006, Newman also co-founded Safe Water Network with John Whitehead, former chairman of Goldman Sachs, and Josh Weston, former chairman of ADP, to improve access to safe water to underserved communities around the world.

Newman was married twice and fathered six children. He was the husband of Oscar-winning actress Joanne Woodward.
Karts (GoKarts) Engine

Racing karts mostly use small two-stroke or four-stroke engines - however, as of 2022 there has been small-scale adoption of electric motors in racing karts.

* Four-stroke engines can be standard air-cooled industrial based engines, sometimes with small modifications, developing from about 5 to 20 hp. Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh, Kohler, Robin, and Honda are manufacturers of such engines. They are adequate for racing and fun kart applications. There are also more powerful four-stroke engines available from manufacturers like Yamaha, TKM, Swissauto or Aixro (Wankel engine) offering from 15 hp up to 48 hp. They run to and around 11,000 rpm, and are manufactured specifically for karting. Those are used in some National Championship classes like the two-strokes.
* Two-stroke kart engines are developed and built by dedicated manufacturers. WTP, Comer, IAME (Parilla, Komet, Woltjer), TM, Vortex, Titan, REFO, Modena Engines, TKM, Yamaha are manufacturers of such engines. These can develop from about 8 hp for a single-cylinder 60 cc unit (MiniROK by Vortex) to over 90 hp for a twin 250 cc.< Today, the most popular categories worldwide are those using the TaG 125 cc units. The recent 125 cc KF1 engines are electronically limited at 16,000 rpm. Most are water-cooled today; however, previously air-cooled engines dominated the sport.
* While electric motors have been used in low-performance amusement park karts for some time - particularly in indoor applications where fumes are a concern - higher-performance competitive racing karts are now becoming commercially available. For instance, manufacturer Blue Shock Racing offers a range of electric karts for both junior and senior competitors with performance comparable to combustion-powered karts, and has held race series for them. Combustion kart engine maker Rotax also offers an electric kart motor and has held racing events for karts fitted with it.
Walker Evans

**Roger Walker Evans** (born December 3, 1938) is an American former professional off road racing driver and member of the Off-road Motorsports Hall of Fame.

Nazareth Speedway

**Nazareth Speedway** was an auto racing facility near Nazareth in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania which operated from 1910 to 2004 in two distinct course configurations. In its early years, it was a dirt twin oval layout. In 1987 it was reopened as a paved tri-oval that measured just slightly under 1 mile.

The facility is often linked to local drivers Mario and Michael Andretti's early racing careers. It was also associated with Frankie Schneider due to his large number of wins on the two dirt tracks.

As of November 2015, the site was purchased by Raceway Properties LLC under David Jaindl. There are no current plans to return racing to the facility.
Nigel Mansell

**Nigel Ernest James Mansell**, CBE (/ˈmænsəl/; born 8 August 1953) is a British former racing driver who won both the Formula One World Championship (1992) and the CART Indy Car World Series (1993). Mansell was the reigning F1 champion when he moved over to CART, becoming the first person to win the CART title in his debut season, and making him the only person to hold both the World Drivers' Championship and the American open-wheel National Championship simultaneously.

His career in Formula One spanned 15 seasons, with his final two full seasons of top-level racing being spent in the CART series. Mansell is the second most successful British Formula One driver of all time in terms of race wins with 31 victories, (behind Lewis Hamilton with 103 wins), and is eighth overall on the Formula One race winners list, behind Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso. He held the record for the most poles set in a single season, which was broken in 2011 by Sebastian Vettel. He was rated in the top 10 Formula One drivers of all time by longtime Formula One commentator Murray Walker. In 2008, ESPN.com ranked him 24th on their "Top 25 Drivers of All Time" list. He was also ranked No. 9 of the 50 greatest F1 drivers of all time by the Times Online on a list that also included such drivers as Prost, Senna, Jackie Stewart and Jim Clark.

Mansell raced in the Grand Prix Masters series in 2005, and won the championship title. He later signed a one-off race deal for the Scuderia Ecosse GT race team to drive their number 63 Ferrari F430 GT2 car at Silverstone on 6 May 2007. He has since competed in additional sports car races with his sons Leo and Greg, including the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans, and was inducted to the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2005.
AAA Contest Board

The **AAA Contest Board** was the motorsports arm of the American Automobile Association. The contest board sanctioned automobile races from 1904 until 1955, establishing of Championship Car racing. Modern-day IndyCar racing traces its roots directly to these AAA events.

All of the races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during that time period were sanctioned by AAA, including the Indianapolis 500. AAA sanctioned the 1905 National Motor Car Championship, the first national championship for major auto racing. It sanctioned the National Championship in 1916, and then from 1920 to 1955. It also sanctioned the Vanderbilt Cup.

The AAA Contest Board dissolved and decided to focus strictly on helping the automobiling public, as a result of the 1955 Le Mans disaster.

Mears is also a three-time Indycar series/World Series champion (1979, 1981 and 1982).
Torque

In physics and mechanics, **torque** is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It is also referred to as the **moment**, **moment of force**, **rotational force** or **turning effect**, depending on the field of study. It represents the capability of a force to produce change in the rotational motion of the body. The concept originated with the studies by Archimedes of the usage of levers, which is reflected in his famous quote: "*Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the Earth*". Just as a linear force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object around a specific axis. Torque is defined as the product of the magnitude of the force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of a force from the axis of rotation. The symbol for torque is typically , the lowercase Greek letter *tau*. When being referred to as moment of force, it is commonly denoted by M.

In three dimensions, the torque is a pseudovector; for point particles, it is given by the cross product of the position vector (distance vector) and the force vector. The magnitude of torque of a rigid body depends on three quantities: the force applied, the *lever arm vector* connecting the point about which the torque is being measured to the point of force application, and the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. In symbols:
Late Models

Late model race cars are the highest class of local stock car racing vehicles at many race tracks in the United States and Canada. Some regional and lower national-level series race in late models. Varieties of late models (ranked from highest vehicle performance to lowest) include super late models, late models, and limited late models. Some series require crate motors to be utilized by racecars under their sanction, which often utilize GM 604 engines. Vehicles raced on dirt tracks are significantly different from vehicles raced on asphalt.

Super late models are the premier divisions of asphalt short track racing in the United States and Canada. They typically feature engines with upwards of 600 brake horsepower (450 kW), American naturally aspirated V8s, under the hood of a custom built chassis weighing around 2,750 pounds (1,250 kg; 196 st). Most bodies are coupes constructed from fiberglass and conform to the 2002 approved body configuration agreement. This standard, along with the widespread use of this style of racecar, allows teams to not only compete at local tracks but also to travel throughout the country hitting major events nationwide. Notable big-money super late model races include the Kern County Classic at Kern County Raceway in California, Summer Showdown in Evergreen Speedway, the Oxford 250 in Oxford, the All American 400 in Nashville, and the Snowball Derby in Pensacola.
Auto Club Speedway

**uto Club Speedway**, originally opened as **California Speedway**, is a 2.000 mi (3.219 km), low-banked, D-shaped oval superspeedway in unincorporated San Bernardino County, California, near Fontana. It has hosted NASCAR racing annually since 1997. It was also previously used for open wheel racing events. The racetrack is located 47 mi (76 km) east of Los Angeles and is near the former locations of Ontario Motor Speedway and Riverside International Raceway. The track is owned and operated by NASCAR. The speedway is served by the nearby Interstate 10 and Interstate 15 freeways as well as a Metrolink station located behind the backstretch.

Construction of the track, on the site of the former Kaiser Steel Mill, began in 1995 and was completed in late 1996. The speedway's main grandstand has a capacity of 68,000, additionally it features 28 skyboxes and has a grand total capacity of 122,000. In 2006, a fanzone was added behind the main grandstand. Lights were added to the speedway in 2004 with the addition of a second annual NASCAR weekend. Since 2011, the track has hosted only one NASCAR weekend each year.

IndyCar previously ran a 500-mile race under Champ Car sanctioning from 1997 to 2002. The current IndyCar sanctioning previously ran a 400-mile race from 2002 to 2005 and a 500-mile race from 2012 to 2015, which was usually the season finale. Its last IndyCar race was the critically-acclaimed-to-be chaotic 2015 MAVTV 500.
Dover Motor Speedway

**Dover Motor Speedway** (formerly **Dover Downs International Speedway** and later **Dover International Speedway**) is a race track in Dover, Delaware, United States. The track has hosted at least one NASCAR Cup Series race each year since 1969, including two per year from 1971 to 2020. In addition to NASCAR, the track also hosted USAC and the Indy Racing League. The track features one layout, a 1 mile (1.6 km) concrete oval, with 24° banking in the turns and 9° banking on the straights. The speedway is owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports.

The track, nicknamed "The Monster Mile", was built in 1969 by Melvin Joseph of Melvin L. Joseph Construction Company, Inc., with an asphalt surface, but was replaced with concrete in 1995. Six years later in 2001, the track's capacity increased to 135,000 seats, giving the track the largest seating capacity of any sports venue in the mid-Atlantic region. In 2002, the name changed to Dover International Speedway from Dover Downs International Speedway after Dover Downs Gaming and Entertainment split, making Dover Motorsports. From 2007 to 2009, the speedway worked on an improvement project called "The Monster Makeover", which expanded facilities at the track and beautified the track. Depending on configuration, the track's capacity is at 95,500 seats. Its grand total maximum capacity was at 135,000 spectators. On November 8, 2021, it was announced that Dover Motorsports Inc. was purchased by Speedway Motorsports Inc.; effectively making Dover International Speedway a SMI track with the track being renamed to its current name.

Davison's grandfather, Lex Davison, was a four-time winner of the Australian Grand Prix. He is a cousin of V8 Supercar drivers Alex and Will Davison. He also competed as a coxswain as part of Scotch College's championship-winning rowing crew in 2003.
Karts (GoKarts) Transmission

Purpose of transmission: There are three reasons for having a transmission in the automotive power train or drive train. The transmission can:

* Provide torque needed to move the vehicle under a variety of road and load conditions. It does this by changing the gear ratio between the engine crankshaft and vehicle drive wheel.
* Be shifted into reverse so the vehicle can move backward.
* Be shifted into neutral for starting the engine and running it without turning the drive wheels.

Karts do not have a differential. The lack of a differential means that one rear tire must slide while cornering. This is achieved by designing the chassis so that the inside rear tire lifts up slightly when the kart turns the corner. This allows the tire to lose some of its grip and slide or lift off the ground completely.

Power is transmitted from the engine to the rear axle by a chain. Both engine and axle sprockets are removable. Their ratio must be adapted to the track configuration to obtain the most performance from the engine.

In the early days, karts were direct drive, requiring push starts. The inconvenience of that configuration led to the centrifugal clutch for the club level classes. Dry centrifugal clutches are now used in many categories; Rotax Max is one example. They have become the norm as the top international classes have switched to 125 cc clutch-equipped engines as of January 2007.
Harry Gant

**Harold Phil Gant** (born January 10, 1940), known for his many nicknames such as "**The Bandit**", "**High Groove Harry**", "**Hard Luck Harry**", "**Mr. September**", and perhaps mostly as "**Handsome Harry**", is a retired American stock car racing driver best known for driving the No. 33 Skoal Bandit car on the NASCAR Winston Cup Series circuit during the 1980s and 1990s and his 4-race win streak in 1991.
Karts (GoKarts)

**Kart racing** or **karting** is a road racing variant of motorsport with open-wheel, four-wheeled vehicles known as go-karts or shifter karts. They are usually raced on scaled-down circuits, although some professional kart races are also held on full-size motorsport circuits. Karting is commonly perceived as the stepping stone to the higher ranks of motorsports, with many Formula One champions such as Sebastian Vettel, Nico Rosberg, Ayrton Senna, Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Kimi Räikkönen, and Fernando Alonso having begun their careers in karting.

Karts vary widely in speed and some (known as superkarts) can reach speeds exceeding 161 kilometres per hour (100 mph), while recreational go-karts intended for the general public may be limited to lower speeds.
Rusty Wallace

**Russell William** "**Rusty**" **Wallace Jr.** (born August 14, 1956) is an American former NASCAR racing driver. He has won the 1984 NASCAR Cup series Rookie of the Year and the 1989 NASCAR Winston Cup Championship. Over the course of his successful career, Wallace has been inducted in the NASCAR Hall of Fame (2013), the International Motorsports Hall of Fame (2013), the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (2014) and the National Motorsports Press Association Hall of Fame (2010).
Chrysler Hemi-6 Engine

The **Chrysler Hemi-6 engine** is a family of inline six-cylinder petrol engines produced by Chrysler Australia in three piston displacements and multiple configurations. Hemi-6 engines were installed in Australian-market Chrysler Valiants from 1970 through 1981. It was also installed in the Valiants closely related variants, the Chrysler VIP, the Chrysler by Chrysler & the Valiant Charger.
Superspeedway Racetrack

Originally a superspeedway was an oval race track with a length of one mile or more. Since the introduction of the intermediate oval, Superspeedway is an oval race course of 2 miles or longer. There are six active superspeedways in the United States, the most famous being Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Daytona International Speedway, both 2.5 miles (4.0 km) long. These tracks were built in 1909 and 1959 respectively. Indianapolis Motor Speedway was built as a facility for the automotive industry to conduct research and development. Daytona International Speedway was built as a replacement for the Daytona Beach Road Course, which combined the town's main street and its famous beach. Daytona hosts the Daytona 500, NASCAR's most prestigious race, while the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is home to the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400.

The longest superspeedway is the Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama. Built in 1969, it is 2.66 miles (4.28 kilometers) long, and holds the current record for fastest speed in a stock car, lapping at an average of 216.309 mph (348.116 km/h) and reaching 228 mph (367 km/h) at the end of the backstretch. Daytona and Talladega are the pinnacle of stock car superspeedway racing, where restrictor plates are mandated by the sport's ruling body to reduce the high speeds accommodated by their steep banking since 1988.

Other superspeedways used by NASCAR include the Michigan International Speedway (2.0 miles), Auto Club Speedway (known as California Speedway prior to February 2008) (2.0 miles), and Pocono Raceway (2.5 miles). Auto Club Speedway and Michigan are often considered intermediate tracks by NASCAR due to their similarities with 1.5-mile tracks, while Pocono and Indianapolis are sometimes classified separately, as they are the only long, flat tracks on the schedule. Auto Club Speedway, which joined Indianapolis, Michigan and Pocono as the one of four superspeedways used in the Verizon IndyCar Series, was the site of Gil de Ferran's qualifying lap of 241.428 mph (388.541 km/h) in the CART FedEx Championship Series in 2000, the fastest qualifying lap recorded at an official race meeting. Due to the low number of spectators or safety concerns by the drivers, IndyCar will no longer drive super speedways outside of Indianapolis. Michigan Speedway was part of the series from 2002 to 2007, AutoClub Speedway from 2002 to 2005 and a second time from 2012 to 2015, Pocono was used by IndyCar between 2014 and 2019. In NASCAR they are still an essential part of the racing calendar.

The closed and partially demolished Texas World Speedway, was the original "sister track" to Michigan. The two-mile oval, with its 22-degree banking, was the site of Mario Andretti's closed-course record of 214.158 mph (344.654 km/h) which stood for 12 years. No major professional series have raced at TWS since the 1990s.

The 2.5 mile Ontario Motor Speedway was known as the "Indianapolis of the West", but was bought by the Chevron Land Company in 1980 and partitioned for development.
Alan Kulwicki

**Alan Dennis Kulwicki** (December 14, 1954 – April 1, 1993), nicknamed "Special K" and the "Polish Prince", was an American auto racing driver and team owner. He started racing at local short tracks in Wisconsin before moving up to regional stock car touring series. Kulwicki arrived at NASCAR, the highest and most expensive level of stock car racing in the United States, with no sponsor, a limited budget and only a racecar and a borrowed pickup truck. Despite starting with meager equipment and finances, he earned the 1986 NASCAR Rookie of the Year award over drivers racing for well-funded teams.

After Kulwicki won his first race at Phoenix International Raceway, he debuted what would become his trademark "Polish victory lap". Kulwicki won the 1992 Winston Cup Championship by what was then the closest margin in NASCAR history. He died early in 1993 in a light aircraft accident and therefore never defended his championship. He has been inducted into numerous racing halls of fame and was named one of NASCAR's 50 greatest drivers.

Kulwicki was known for being a perfectionist and doing things his own way. An engineer by trade, his scientific approach to NASCAR racing inspired the way teams are now run. Despite lucrative offers from top car owners, he insisted on driving for his own race team, AK Racing, during most of his NASCAR career. Described by his publicist as "a real hard type of person to get to know", he remained a bachelor throughout his life.
Late models

ate model race cars are the highest class of local stock car racing vehicles at many race tracks in the United States and Canada. Some regional and lower national-level series race in late models. Varieties of late models (ranked from highest vehicle performance to lowest) include super late models, late models, and limited late models. Some series require crate motors to be utilized by racecars under their sanction, which often utilize GM 604 engines. Vehicles raced on dirt tracks are significantly different from vehicles raced on asphalt.

Super late models are the premier divisions of asphalt short track racing in the United States and Canada. They typically feature engines with upwards of 600 brake horsepower (450 kW), American naturally aspirated V8s, under the hood of a custom built chassis weighing around 2,750 pounds (1,250 kg; 196 st). Most bodies are coupes constructed from fiberglass and conform to the 2002 approved body configuration agreement. This standard, along with the widespread use of this style of racecar, allows teams to not only compete at local tracks but also to travel throughout the country hitting major events nationwide. Notable big-money super late model races include the Kern County Classic at Kern County Raceway in California, Summer Showdown in Evergreen Speedway, the Oxford 250 in Oxford, the All American 400 in Nashville, and the Snowball Derby in Pensacola.
Emerson Fittipaldi

**Emerson Fittipaldi** (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈɛmeʁsõ fitʃiˈpawdʒi]; born 12 December 1946) is a retired Brazilian automobile racing driver who won both the Formula One World Championship and the Indianapolis 500 twice each and the CART championship once.

Moving up from Formula Two, Fittipaldi made his race debut for Team Lotus as a third driver at the 1970 British Grand Prix. After Jochen Rindt was killed at the 1970 Italian Grand Prix, the Brazilian became Lotus's lead driver in only his fifth Grand Prix. He enjoyed considerable success with Lotus, winning the World Drivers' Championship in 1972 at the age of 25. At the time, he was the youngest ever F1 world champion, and he held the record for 33 years. He later moved to McLaren for 1974, winning the title once again. He surprised the paddock by moving to his brother's Fittipaldi Automotive team prior to the 1976 season, being replaced by James Hunt. Success eluded him during his final years in Formula One, with the Fittipaldi cars not competitive enough to fight for victories. Fittipaldi took two more podium finishes, before retiring in 1980.

Following his Formula One career, Fittipaldi moved to the American CART series, achieving successful results, including the 1989 CART title and two wins at the Indianapolis 500 in 1989 and 1993.

Since his retirement from Indy Car racing in 1996, Fittipaldi races only occasionally. In 2008, he became one of only three people in history to have a Corvette production car named in his honor. At age 67, he entered the 2014 6 Hours of São Paulo.
6 EO

## 6 EO - "Year of Migration" (1401 DR)

Donu gave birth to her second son, Amaethon, and decides to leaves him in her husband's care to travel north with the other humans and her son Nemed. She askes the fifth Aasimar to take them to the norther group, and she meets up with them in Rath and leads a band of them north to settle in St. Cridhe.

The Mountain Dwarves extend their tunnel to a new cavern and a new settlement Egern just north of Bjerg.

To avoid fighting with the Tieflings, a small band of Elves flee Annwn into Hastra more Derev, starting a settlement Lis Dereva.

The Goliaths and Nomad Elves complete their ship and sail west, but along the way one of the Goliaths slays an Elf named Hernan. They stop at Sismo Island and work together to bury him, a small group choosing to remain on the island.

Kart (GoKart) Racing

Kart racing is generally accepted as the most economic form of motorsport available on four wheels. As a free-time activity, it can be performed by almost anybody, and as a motorsport in itself, it is one of the sports regulated by FIA (under the name of CIK), permitting licensed racing for anyone from the age of 8 onward.

In the United States, there is not as much FIA involvement; instead, many organizations regulate racing, such as the IKF (International Kart Federation), WKA (World Karting Association), KART (Karters of America Racing Triad), USPKS (United States Pro Karting Series) SKUSA (SuperKartsUSA).

In the UK, the Motor Sports Association (MSA) regulates most "owner driver" Karting. Some associations, such as NatSKA (National Schools Karting Association), organize race meetings throughout the country under the authority of the MSA. Various four-stroke "hire kart" series such as EPEC (European Prokart Endurance Championship) or BRKC (British Rental Kart Championship) fall outside the governance of the MSA. Billed as the UK's first national karting *league*, the Elite Karting League also falls outside of MSA governance.
Mini Sprint

A **mini sprint** is an American type of open-wheel racing vehicle. Mini sprint cars resemble the shape of a full-size sprint car and the size of a midget car. Although often used liberally to describe several different types of motorcycle-powered open-wheel racing cars, the term *mini sprint* actually applies to cars that have an upright-style chassis (the driver sits upright in the seat as in a sprint or midget), a center-mounted 4-cylinder motorcycle engine with a displacement between 750 to 1200cc, and dimensions and appearance that are similar to today’s midget. Mini sprints are chain driven and use 13-inch (33 cm) wheels and tires.
Lightspace

Lightspace is the name of a crystal sphere, also know as the Eoce Galaxy, created by the Goddess Eo.

Lightspace is located between Faeriespace and Darkspace, just a few SJD from Darkspace and is often times influenced by it, influencing Shadowspace in interesting ways. The phlogiston around it moves very quickly in both directions, as such its wildspace within the sphere is extremely easy to fly through.

This sphere's sun is called Günes, a radiant star surrounded by a field of pure wildspace which gravitates toward the star. This field is encased in a bubble of bright light convex toward the rest of the galaxy.

* Kehennem, a fiery planet that is too hot to support human life due to its proximity to Günes
* Çol, a scorched desert planet largely inhabited by Thri-kreen

Ay, a small, golden moon which orbits Çol but is usually close enough in orbit to be shared by Eocene

* Eocene, Eo's pride and the traditional hub of the galaxy despite Shenandoah's advancements.

Mehtap, a larger, silvery moon which orbits Eocene

* Kaplıca Suyu, a water-dredged planet coveted by the denizens of Nautilus
* Benzin, a teal planet which is said to be unable to sustain life due to the gas which it emits

The Siyaslari, an asteroid belt, the rocks of which ooze a dark fluid, consuming any light which reaches these further bounds of wildspace.

* Shenandoah, a technological marvel, an entire planet of one unified city
* Ilâhe, a ringed planet nickmaed Eo's Throne, said the be the cradle of her power

Ark of Anlaşma, a plasma-powered space station which functions as a matriarchy lead by Basemath to keep order throughout the crystal sphere.

Beyin Tor, a moon that does not orbit a planet. It has been taken over by Ilithid

* Dev Toprak, a vast planet whose size is matched by the mystery to its connection to the Outer Planes
* Yalniz, a small, lonely planet at the edge of the crystal sphere which receives very little light

Rainshear Stars, a sea of stars which seem to perpetually be falling

Hebron Gate, a gate to the astral sea, extremely volatile, set near a nebula

Drogh mac Tir is a Variant Human Fighter who inherited the nickname "the wolf" from his deceased grandfather Belimau after being haunted by visions of a grim canine invaded his dreams as a child. He is portrayed by Wit Wrangler and is one of the intended companions during Edge of the Eldersea.

\*\*\*\*\*

As one of the original beings brought into the world at the Eos Altar, she mothered three children within the first few years of her existence, Nemed with a fellow human named Don, \_\_\_\_\_ (list children) ; later she gave birth to \_\_\_\_\_.

Danu is credited for uniting the realm of Cridhe in the north and bringing all of Innis Deigh into unification before returning to her seat of power at Eoce, but her entitlement slowly drew her into hawkish warfare that would have ruined her reputation had she not secretly been murdered by a Changeling who took her place and continued in making sure Danu went down in history as one of the greatest military leaders of the century.

## Intro

*"The doors of Caisligh Vargr are disturbed only but a moment as the meekest member of House mac Tir slips inside, try as he might to be unnoticed, but falling short upon catching his lightly armored toe in the single crack in the hard stone floor. He muffles his oof and continues walking toward you, russet hair a noble mess and teal eyes uncharacteristic of his father. You notice the lack of sleep off hand as dark circles shadow deeply under his eyes. He rubs his cheek as he approaches -- just looking at him him makes you want to yawn. He apologizes for being late. He greets his mother with a good morning despite the noonday sun."*

## Description

### Appearance

Danu is instantly recognizable by her crimson hair which she pins at the sides of her temples with barrettes on both sides across from her passionate blue eyes. Her strong, muscular build is matched equally by her beauty and fierce appeal. She wears an iron torque around her neck tipped by wolves. In her younger years she insisted upon sackcloth garb as the leader of her people, but after uniting her realm she transitioned to a more modern outfit suitable to her station.

## Trivia

### Etymology

Danu, meaning "river," is loosely based upon the celtic goddess of fertility and closely paired to the Irish matron of the Tuatha, as the merchant-princes of the Edge of the Eldersea come to be known, are all originally descended from her.

7 EO

## 7 EO - "Year of Mysterious Lament" (1402 DR)

A Copper Dragonborn dies from a mysterious lamenting sickness. Sensing a disturbance amongst the Copper Dragonborn that he took to Cuivre, the First Aasimar joined them there. Two members of the Eoce Orcs decided to follow after him on foot and made it to Soldaat, but did not join them.

The Western Nomad Elves break off from the Goliaths and settle Lujosa. The Goliaths push forward into Baile Dolor but do not settle there, one of which weeps as she crosses through a valley though she knew not why.

The Variant Humans branch out to explore further, leaving Danu and Nemed in St. Cridhe, and settling Cogath. Danu wept for missing her two other children.

La Sombra

La Sombra is a continent located on the planet Eocene in the Lightspace crystal sphere.

It is considered the native home to this galaxy's version of Pallid Elves, where they developed over several generations due to life in the valleys beneath the towering mountains presiding over death and night. The Shadowfell seeps out into the world through these mountain ranges.

La Sombra is the limited setting in Eocene Pre-Release: Shadows of La Sombra.

## La Sombra

La Sombra is divided between five realms.

* Llanuras
* Baile Dolor
* Andalucia
* Olvido
* Risa Ahogada

## Government

Since it was first settled, La Sombra has functioned as a Oligarchy.
