Östlich Empire

The **Duchy of** **Östlich**, previously the **Kingdom of Ossburg** (433-1509) is a large, ancient country in the 3rd Heptant. They were originally a Germani country, formed by Franks and High-Easterners in the Laaglands during the Solstice of 433. The kingdom was prolific in regards to overseas trading, second only to Lusitania. Historically, the country was at constant war with It stood as one of the most powerful Digslerman-speaking countries until roughly 1508 during the Great Gat War, where the country was absorbed by the fledgling Holy Frankia. This began the tension that would eventually amount to the Osmonian Wars.

According to the Flem-Papers, most of the civilians living in Östlichia migrated into what would later become Noidermaar. Some migrated to Klavoc, Divid, the East Cadmus Collective, and even as far as Armellion. The country was also famous for electing the first High-Eastern (Neustrian) emperor, Stefaan Dommerholt. The capital of the empire was often changing, however Louw was the final capital. The country is renowned for never having entered a Dark Age, and famously being extremely efficient in regards to trading with neighbouring countries.

As a duchy, Ostlichia
Timeline

The **timeline** consists of three different calenders, the New Stil Calendar, the Old Calendar, and Astrological Standard.

(THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION HAS BEEN MADE IRRELEVANT)

On the wiki, we use the New Stil Calender, which starts at the birth of Jesus Christ, which happened 321 years earlier than it did in our real world calender, thus astrological, astronomical, and any kind of time-dependent spacial events are exactly 321 earth rotations out of sync with real life. 1599 in their world is equivalent to 1599 in ours.
Papal Empire

The **Papal Empire** was an international and interstate organisation of countries in the Laaglands of the 3rd and 4th Heptant. It was historically the only union which lasted for over 800 years, often being older than the countries it partnered with. Papal Empire was the closest humanity got to ending the semi-global Dark Ages.

The Papal Empire was disbanded in 1548 after a gradual decline, presumably caused by lack of funding and the oncoming signs of a trans-continental war, known today as the Osmonian Wars. This left Holy Frankia as one of the last remaining nations to house and protect the Treaty of Gahetzia. The original headquarters of the church was on Drust, however in its later declining years it relocated to Armellion. The actual reasoning behind the church's decline is unknown, however many nations and cults have claimed responsibility.

Many Lawyers in the Neo-Rikolich Alliance are descendants of the original staff of the Papal Empire.

Tore Arear

* OS:JAY ▾
* Osmotrophy ▾
* 20th February 1647
* March 1647
* January 1644

## Misc

**Tore Leighton Arear** (also known as the **God of Death**) is a duke, reigning over Germania in Frankia. He is renowned for pioneering the use of cannons and other more modern artillery as a supplement for the horse-based cavalry, due to the Horse Psychosis crisis. The gunpowder substitute, Tordust, is named after him. He is one of the council members for the Lauremony. He is the favourite of the emperor-king, Franz.

Contrary to popular belief, Tore is not a warmonger, but rather a pacifist. He is the sole orphan of Leighton Arear, a well-known diplomat to Minghan, and Haundstrullung. His family, the Arears, have studied incendiary techniques and combustion for centuries, dating back to the court of Gathian emperor, Xartia the Burner. Tore is a prodigy in explosives and high-Alchemy. Tore is the survivor of a war of succession that occurred in Germania, where he utilized explosives and assassinations to survive the event.

He was onboard La Injuste during Franz's life-changing seizure. He is one of the funders behind the Neo-Rikolich Alliance, however he has been in opposition of its more colonial efforts. The Commission utilizes Tore's weaponry in its acquisitions of territory and suppression of revolutions (see Coromandel Invasion). He is one of the Council of Nine, and is one of the youngest lords in the cabinet. Leighton, Tore's father, was the previous Duke of Germania, despite contrary propaganda reports.

Recognized as a military genius during the War on Valhine and the Siege of Lieprof, Tore was given full control of the Army of Germania during an extreme hippomania epidemic from the Eruss Road, for which he was granted access to imperial Laureates, in servitude of the Emperor. Tore researched various flying machines, poisons, and guns which he would eventually utilize on the battlefield in the infamous Battle of Hulle. Despite his military success, Tore's marriage would eventually cause him to be captured by Klavocian liberationists in 1646.

Tore narrowly escaped being broken on the wheel in Mocoa due to the interference of the Bokke.

## Appearance

Tore is a somewhat tall teenager with curly dark hair and pale skin, signifying his Siglerian ethnic background.

## Trivia

* Historically-speaking, Tore is a combination of Gustavus Adolphus, Henri-Joseph Paixhans, and Napoleon Bonaparte. His moniker, the *Lion from the East*, specifically echoes Gustavus being called the *Lion from the North*.
* Tore's main MO in the candle war is likely a reference to the assassination of Henry Stuart in 1567.
Vigori Scale

The **Vigori Scale** is a universal metric used for measuring the capability and potential of Alchemy to induce harm and or distress to individuals. It was devised in 1530 by L&L employee Charles Vigori for use in legal situations involving alchemical techniques. It is measured in 4 ranks, each with 3 sub-rankings.

It was started by Dai Foss, a general in the Holy Imperial Army, whose goal was to further expand the territory of the growing Empire. The city-state of Latium, the main setting of the conflict, is considered one of the most influential and important landmarks of the Laaglands, and Cadmus in general.

Latium was sieged on December 30, where the standing castle of Nachtvol was taken after only 5 hours. The main attackers were mercenaries and soldiers in service to Horace. Once the city-state was taken, the Frankian were given an enormous advantage and a vantage point to attack the Bite, which they continued to besiege until the end of the war.

Heart of Stelarite

## SESSION RECAP

***Arc 1, Session 8***

***April 3rd, 2023***

### Entering The Mansion

The session opens with the party on the front doorsteps of the Gulissenthrua estate, where Locke and Ace take initiative to knock on the door, where they are greeted by one of the house servants, a small fairy, that initially questions the parties business knocking at the door, and stating that she'd rather not wake the mistress from her nap. After some discussion and reporting that they are associated with Vaidect Yard, the party is welcomed in. Upon entering, the party is met by Ibe & Isa, a pair of inaakri twins, quickly followed by the presumed mistress of the house, who introduces herself as Caisys, the inheritor of her mothers estate. Upon 9C explaining their business, Caisys invites them to one of the parlor rooms to further discuss.

### The Mistress

The party sits down and approaches Caisys with questions regarding any association with military equipment, specifically regarding the clockwork pests that the party had caught and dissected earlier. Caisys responds saying she wasn't ever permitted in the area of conversation about business matters, as it was more her mother's business rather than family matters, but does recall frequent visits from multiple parliament MPs, including Violet Nicol and Newt Beley. After this meeting, Caisys does open the option to 9C to investigate the house and business records looking for anything that may help their cause, which the party accepts. Through the conversation, Caisys had been uttering grievances about her mother in Kapenese, not aware anyone in the party understood the language. Ambrose approaches Caisys after and attempts to speak to her in Kapenese, where she looks utterly horrified, stating she only knows the language for business matters, calling over Ibe & Isa to monitor Ambrose for the rest of the day, and forbidding him from entering the records room. This is where the party splits to cover more of the mansion in quicker time.

### Important Findings

* Skull key
	+ A key underneath one of the tables in the servants quarters, used to unlock the Lock box.
* Purse
	+ While Reid and Ambrose explored one of the parlor rooms, the both of them had noticed a purse that had been left unattended, as Ambrose tried to pick it up, Isa, the bodyguard, came rushing towards him to slap his hand away and scold him for attempting to go through the Mistresses belongings. After the fact, Myrr had decided to tie up Ambrose's hands to prevent him from grabbing anything else.
* Lock Box
	+ Myrr and Reid had found a locked box in the laundry room after the group decided to switch up the groups, a box that required both the skull key and a number combination, that was revealed in the following session, as well as blueprints for the clockwork pests, with the names blacked out, but we were able to confirm these are the same pests the Red Petal Killer had been using as drones.

The Rain of 1580

**The Rain of 1629** was a catastrophic disaster which struck Holy Frankia. It affected Bretagne and Neustria. It was categorized by extreme flooding and heavy rain, possibly enough to be considered a typhoon or deluge. The water levels were so deep that sailing merchant ships could sail down streets past houses. These merchant ships acted as rescue vehicles. Between October and December, 17,000 people died.

The constant heavy rain lasted 58 and a half days. The rain heralded 2 Meteorological Orphans. The total amount of water collected was unknown. It was not the worst water-related disaster to hit Cadmus, apparently not even close. It is theorized to be the cause of the drought affecting Neustria, however the rest of the kingdom seemed to hold no consequences.

## SESSION RECAP

*Arc 1, Session 13*

*May 15th, 2023*

### Plans Foiled

A Siege Perilous

## BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The Ædr Gang, once lead by Helaide Rose, is now without a leader. When Helaide died in a shootout in the Town of Guinerise, the Ædr gang was left with no clear line of succession.

The Gang, about 45 large, terrorizes stagecoaches and trains alike on the long road between Phere and Gere. This has lead to the Conclave of Glass, an order amongst the bandits of the Lipercian Frontier, to send the gang out on a mission to decide it’s next leader, and hopefully prevent the destruction of such a high-level gang.

Your job is to climb the Hazardous Mountain called Avalon and retrieve an artifact at its summit. The Artifact? The Cometfall Sword, one that the Conclave has been looking to get their hands on for a very long time. Whoever presents the Sword to the Conclave will be named the Head of the Gang and take the Open Seat.

This will be a treacherous game of diplomacy, backstabbing, faulty alliances and distrust. You are the four most likely to take the seat - but only one can come out on top. Make allies with fellow gang members on your five-day journey up Avalon Mountain, and prepare to duel to the death with your enemies.

Are you ready to take the Siege most Perilous?
Inaakri

## BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The Inaakri are a homebrew race introduced in Tick Tock as a sort of human sub-race. The Inaakri Effect are when a pair of human twins are born, one male and one female, the twins share one soul across two bodies. The female twin always has an inherent connection to the light, the male twin will always have an inherent connection to the dark, it's known that inaakri are connected to the gods Ulena and Ilenar as well as the plain of dreams, but the specifics of their connections are unknown, and inaakri are not permitted to share what information they do have. This phenomenon only happens in human twins, it is a 1/4 chance that any pair of humans twins born will be inaakri. Inaakri share one soul, so any information one of the twins knows will also know, anything one twin sees the other will see, and if one of the twins die, the other will as well.
Rowers Valley

## BRIEF DESCRIPTION

### Reid's Apartment

Reid's apartment is a location that has showed up in twice, both of which in Arc 1, session 7, *"This Little Bug of Mine"* when the party went to collect Clockwork Pests to pull apart and analyze after Reid had mentioned finding swarms of them in his apartment, after Locke and Ambrose recall running into and fighting these pests in Arc 1, Session 2, *"Omens and Evidence"*, and suspect they may have something to do with the Red Petal Killer. The second appearance is brief, after Ambrose, Locke, and Reid return from the Tinker's Ward after losing the pests after being kicked out and banned from The Talking Tommy, upon entering the apartment where they had left one pest, there were now 9 of them, the group quickly ran out unscathed after the swarm appeared angry and charged at the group.

### The Death of Issachar

Issachar, one of the victims of the Red Petal Killer, was murdered in broad daylight in Rowers Valley, preaching to the lower-class citizens of Rowers Valley.

Embers in a Blizzard

## SESSION RECAP

***Arc 1, Session 3***

***February 24th, 2023***

### The Mephits

The session begins and the party enters combat immediately. 10 mephits swarm the party, and Myrr and Ace are immediately blinded by smog upon failing dexterity saving throws, and Locke disappears, his whereabouts were unknown. During the combat, after killing one of the mephits, Ambrose hits 0 hit points and fails all three death saving throws, due to homebrew rules in this campaign, Ambrose simply remained unconscious for the rest of the encounter. After all the mephits are defeated, Locke returns as Key and stabilizes Ambrose, only to 3 hit points however. The party sees two areas they can investigate, a shrine, and a metal pipe on the ground. Myrr, Key, and Ace choose to check out the shrine, Reid goes to look at the metal pipe, Ambrose is forced to go with Reid as he could not stand on his own.

### The Metal Pipe

Upon picking up the pipe, and dropping it, alerting a group of 3 extra mephits, started a second combat for the session, attacking Ambrose and Reid, Ambrose fell to 0 hit points *again* however succeeded the death saving throws and returned to 1 hit point. The party finishes off the mephits, and the group goes to look at the shrine together.

### Jane Doe's Shrine

It's unknown who put the shrine together, but the instant identifying factor was it wasn't catered to either of the Gods, as shrines typically are reserved for worship, but rather it was full of newspapers and photos of the Jane Doe, there wasn't much sense the party could make out of it. There had been a blizzard forecasted that was starting earlier than anticipated, and a lot of time had been wasted on the earlier two combats, so the party decided to leave, it was only then the party saw red petals by their feet, and they looked up to see a dark masked figure staring at them atop the balcony.

### Escape From The Factory

This figure was immediately identified as the Red Petal Killer. The party agreed they needed to run, as they all turned, Myrr had gotten a knife thrown into their back and fell, unable to carry themselves anymore. Reid, who was already leaving with an injured Ambrose turned back to help Myrr instead. Ace agreed to carry Ambrose while Reid takes Myrr and leaves, which happens, however Ace trips and drops Ambrose, and is unable to stabilize himself. Ace casts minor illusion to make it appear that flatfoots had arrived to the scene in hopes it would stop the red petal killer, he pauses temporarily, but continues walking towards the party. Key turns to run out, which alerts officer Wallace Merkowski, who runs into grab Ambrose as Key goes for Ace. As Merkowski bends down to grab Ambrose, he's hit with a dagger in the forehead and falls backwards, dead. Key is unable to lift Ace, and turns to run out of the body, leaving the two behind. In a last ditch effort, Ace succeeds a strength saving throw to push himself up, pick up Ambrose, and escape the factory into the blizzard.
Poker Night

## SESSION RECAP

***April 21st, 2023***

***Due to the matter of some party members being unavailable, an impromptu canon, but unserious session took up the time slot that Arc 1, Session 11, "Sti Máska Pou Anazitoúme" was originally intended to take place.***

Ace, Ambrose, and Myrr are joined by Eldora Scott and an unnamed NPC played by Megan(our lovely co-DM) head downstairs to the pub portion of the Cask & Owl to partake in Poker Night. Each member of the gang is given 100 sterling worth of chips free of charge to place bets. The tournament goes on, both Ace and Ambrose being forced to go all in lose all of their chips, ultimately Myrr ended up winning the championship with the jackpot of over 1000 sterling chips.

While Myrr, Eldora, and the unnamed NPC continued the competition, Ambrose had challenged Ace to a drinking competition at the bar, both chugging pints of *Akurzian Hard Liquor* at a time, the strongest the Cask & Owl had to offer. Ace ended up winning the competition, based on succeeding more constitution saving throws, and Ambrose failing the throws, so bad to the point Ambrose had blacked out and collapsed.

Okada Keikichi

Okada Keikichi (岡田慶吉)

* 1648
* OS:JAY
* 1638

**Kei** (real name: **Okada Keikichi**) is an ex-samurai fugitive. He witnessed his brother's execution, where, after trying to "execute the executioner", he was ousted from the country of Greater Japan. After fighting the royal guard, he struck the emperor in the eye and fled to a merchant vessel. While a wanted man, Kei managed to sail across the entire 5th Heptant, and potentially Eos. Due to his use of psychotropic drugs, Kei suffers from bouts of Amnesia.

An alcoholic, Okada is an angry, stern individual with a strong sense of moral code. While a fugitive in his own country, the heptant as a whole is still safe. While avoiding breaking the law, he worked as a mercenary for Noe Blanc, the Lichen Band, a soldier in Lorita La Fleet, and then a pharmacist in Demoni-Torvae. Having lost many fights, he has scars across his entire body. He operated under the East-Sandro Bokke for a time, eventually befriending his eventual business partner, Syphil Hansen.

## Appearance

Okada Keikichi is the spitting image of a modern samurai. He has a wolf-cut and bright red eyes, and a stubble chin. Okada has frightening eyes and strong eyebrows. He often sports casual business clothes, with a trenchcoat or gown layered atop. He has a katana at his sides constantly. Following the Hotgate Heist, most of Kei's left lower ear was destroyed.

## Personality

Okada Keikichi is a stern man with a strong sense of moral obligation as to what is right and wrong. Being a veteran, he has seen death, and is clearly a trained man. He will often intervene wherever he believes his moral code needs to step in, such as the case with the emperor. He can be patient, however with alcohol in his system he will have an extremely short temper and can become violent.

## Abilities and Powers

Okada Keikichi is a skilled samurai warrior who was strong enough to earn the title of Hitokiri. He has had many near-death experiences, and is extremely adept and well trained.
