Iliana Durem

**Iliana Durem** is a desert elf girl from Kavaad. She once stole some gold from the party while they were distracted by Krogan and hid the stolen goods in a hideout over Mr. and Mrs. Marsh's cheese shop. The hideout was also used by two human boys, presumably her friends.

After a magical explosion at the Winged Spire, Iliana encountered a very innocent halfling named Peregrine, who would never do a heist in a wizard tower with a very normal guy whose name was most decidedly Geralt. Iliana momentarily attempted to steal from Peregrine, but decided it wasn't worth messing with this particular woman who, at the time, was logging around an enormous tome.
Vizharr

## Physical description

### Eye color

Green (prior to working with the Soulstone), Red

**Vizharr** was a pale, almost white, bronze dragonborn sorcerer. As Eknoron Zerevil's magus, Vizharr worked extensively with the Soulstone that was uncovered from Tradefall Castle after the sacking of Tradefall in 852.

Vizharr had a thick dialect, clearly identifying him as native to the Wyvern Peaks of Dragonhorn. His speech was heavily stressed, and many of his sibilant fricatives (such as s's and z's) were elongated and drawn out.

Vizharr sent the party on a mission to find and kill a green dragon, so he could use its heart for magic experiments and take the sword Greensteel from it. The party found the dragon's lair and almost killed her, but in the end they teamed up and set an ambush for Vizharr.
Krogan

**Krogan** is a human spy and a member of the Ashen Fist. Krogan is originally from Badkûr, but has lived most of his life in Kavaad. In the Moon of the Titan, 851 CL, Krogan procured the sword Wraithbane from inside the Palace District in Kavaad and delivered it to his friend Harran, who lost it for a while during the battle of Greencrest.

Krogan has an iconic scar running up his neck and the side of his face. He has a broad build, has little to no body hair, and shaved his head bald.
Savageshire

**The Former Yondrian Earldom of Agranorian Savageshire**, or simply **Savageshire** is a territory of Yondria, located between the Kyrval Mountains and the Frostgale Peaks. The only permanent settlement in Savageshire is Wildgate, which stands next to the Broken Hills between the mountain ranges, guarding the entrance to the Riverfang Wilds and the Arrovale Marshes.
The Makate Tribe

**The Makate Tribe** is a nomadic tribe of goliaths, living in the Ridge of Blades between Kavaad and Mithlaru.

* Category: Members of the Makate Tribe

## Etymology

The word "Makate" is the Gol-Kaa name of a certain species of mountain goat, and is often used as slang to refer to exiles from other goliath tribes who survive the harsh conditions of the mountains. Other goliath tribes sometimes call the Makate "kukanath" (meaning "goats") as an insult.
Mehen Myastan

**Mehen Myastan** is a gold dragonborn paladin from Ironston. He is often accompanied by his celestial steed Paarthurnax who takes the form of a crawling drake.

In 845 CL, Ironston was attacked by ghouls. With no prior combat experience, Mehen was forced to take up arms and fight after his parents were killed in the attack. In his hour of need, a divine force called out to Mehen, and instilled him with power, as he vowed to avenge his parents, and hunt down evil wherever it may be.

In the years after the attack on Ironston, Mehen travelled the Daggers and the Verdish Coast, eventually settling down in Arrovale, Kavaad, where he would help the locals and protect them from goblins and trolls. Here, Mehen joined a party of adventurers (Willow, Ulhirr, and Kelp) who were seeking help in a mission to locate the missing spellcasters of Kavaad. While travelling with his new party, Mehen also met Altruism Solbjørnssøn, who joined the party before Mehen left it.

In 852 CL, Mehen's old party called on him to join Altruism on a quest to liberate an artifact that belonged to Altruism's tribe. Mehen accepted this quest, excited to travel to Thorothar and enact some divine justice on the undead. During this quest, Mehen encountered a death knight and former paladin of Tyr who had been in Ironston when the ghouls attacked. It turned out this knight was the one that commissioned the maul from Mehen's father, and that he then aided the undead in destroying Mehen's home. This death knight quickly became Mehen's primary focus in the quest to Galoz Klyth.

**Sophronia "Sophie" Reede-Booke** is a halfling shopkeeper at the bookshop *Reede & Booke's*, established and owned by her adoptive parents Marjorie Reede and Alexandra Booke.

The *ni* in Sophronia is a stressed syllable, pronounced roughly sophro-nee-a.
Heidegar

**Heidegar** is a human priest from Greencrest. After the goblin attack on Greencrest, Heidegar became a spiritual leader for the villagers as he lead the restoration of the village. Heidegar feels guilty for not being in the village at the time of the attack, and he prays for the strength to help the survivors move on.

Shortly after the goblin attack on Greencrest in 851 CL, Heidegar gave a copy of Rhygon II's Book of Angels, written in Classic, to Lo-Tha Thunukalathanu as thanks for her and her party's contributions in the battle.

In 852 CL, Heidegar attended a meeting between the Hoghill Rangers and Eknoron's vice magus Trissana, along with Elmira Dushiuri of Sinria. Eknoron's people tried to persuade the rangers to surrender Hoghill Forest, and when this was denied, they called for a trial by combat. As the local priest, Heidegar presided over the trial. Eknoron's champion lost to a knighted boar, and the rangers kept their land for half a year before Eknoron's forces attacked.

In 853 CL, after being displaced from Hoghill Forest, and losing Greencrest for a second time, Heidegar journeyed to Syllior and officiated an engagement ceremony for Maro Zokesh and Leonara Meisent before travelling to the capital to care for the displaced people of his town.
Salt Coast

**The Salt Coast** is a stretch of coastland in the barony of Balzamar. Together, Syllior and the Salt Coast make up one of the smallest wards in Kavaad.

## Geography

Much of the salt coast consists of sandstone cliffs dotted with sandy coves and rocky caves. The land is mainly covered in shrubs and succulents, but there are a few meadows and groves in the hills.

## Settlements

There are very few permanent settlements on the Salt Coast, the largest of which is Syllior. Other settlements include Tanglestone and the Coral Caves.
Ridge of Blades

**The Ridge of Blades** is a mountain chain dividing western Thindrel in two. This geological boundary is known as the Ridge of Blades because of its sharp and jagged peaks and crags, which occur along its entire length from eastern Tauryun to the southern cape of Dragonhorn. The mountains are home to many naturalistic and barbarian cultures, such as goblins, yetis, and goliaths, and also a number of beasts and different magical creatures, including green-winged griffons, crawling drakes, basilisks, and giant eagles.

Where the Ridge of Blades marks the border between the kingdoms of Kavaad and Mithlaru stand three famous peaks, the Shortsword, the Longsword, and the Greatsword. Between the lower two of these peaks lies the Kavaadic town of Swordview, and south of these peaks lie the dwarven lands known as the Daggers.
Tol'Anar

**Tol'Anar** ("the island of the sun") is an island off the southern coast of Rennanor. From 384 CL to 852 CL, Tol'Anar was the home of the Sky Tree that carried Soliel's Light. Before this, the island was home to Kalrath the Archlich who took it from its native inhabitants who worshiped the elemental Elder Gods. The druids that now guard the island rarely allow visitors anywhere but the small harbor town on the island's south side.

The corrupted spirits left behind after Kalrath's reign could reanimate creatures that died on the island. The cloud giant sorcerer Kutbar used these spirits to raise an army and attack the Sky Tree, destroying it. Before he could claim Soliel's Light, Kutbar was slain by the dragon Loromalog who lives on the island and a party of adventurers summoned by Udhros Orixidor.

In 852 CL, a cloud giant castle also crashed into the western mountains on the island, leaving the giants Istma and Unvar stranded on Tol'Anar along with their servants and flying beasts.
Plasmon

**Virtuous Thought Takes Heavenly Form** (commonly known as **Plasmon**) is Manarakh's angel of wisdom and creation.

Plasmon is the first angel named in *Rhygon II's Book of Angels*. In part because of this, some monks and kavaadic scholars propose that Plasmon is the first of Manarakh's angels, and that he helped his god create the rest of the angels.

Crocus

### Relatives

Belmary Coldmoon (human mother), Alastorn Coldmoon (elven father), Rodvincent Von Kernenvale (second cousin once removed), Larian Coldmoon (first cousin twice removed)

## Physical description

### Weight

### Eye color

Dark (brown except when they look purple) and mysterious

**Crocus** is a half-elf and former agent and leader involved with a thieves' guild in Flowerfen in Kernenvale, Agranor. She is also basically the main character in Percy's backstory.

Crocus was born into the Coldmoon family—a noble elven house based in Mythhold—but had some conflict with her relatives. Leaving her family behind, Crocus found a friend in Nigel (aka "Beans"), a scrappy half-orc on the streets. The two kept some contact while Crocus started her criminal career in Kernenvale, where she became one of the leaders of a top-secret operation to undermine and expose the baron. In this role, she recruited Persephone Buckthorn (then given the name Violet) as an external contractor. The two began a relationship, which they kept hidden, and eventually planned to escape together when Crocus feared her family would find her or be exposed to the guild. The escape did not go as planned, and Crocus was held against her will by fellow agent of the guild Dill. She was kept hidden from the baron's men, but unable to warn or accompany Violet. She did eventually escape, and later ended up hiding in the forests of the Valonar estate, where she made allies with the groundskeeper.

Then she killed Impetus, got engaged to Percy, and started a campaign to become intermediate baroness of Kernenvale during a possible regime change when hopefully deposing Rodvincent Von Kernenvale.
Varoin Goldenplate

Varoin wearing a knitted sweater given to him by Persephone Buckthorn.

**Varoin Goldenplate** is a hill dwarf paladin of Barendain. Varoin serves in the monastery of Barendain, and in 852, he, Grimna Bronzebraid, and Sannl Fireforge were assigned to an expedition into the Underdark along with Willow Stormborn and her party to search for the missing spellcasters. Varoin hopes to find his lost friend, Maegra Tuskheart.

Varoin is often clad in gilded plate armor, and he wields a warhammer engraved with the eye of Barendain. Varoin routinely and ritually braids his beard each day with separate braids signifying different hopes and intentions — an ancient custom among the dwarves of Duerhaith and Badkûr. Ever the optimist, Varoin usually braids his beard for "victory", "discovery", "friendship", or "good fortune".
Sarlyl

**Sarlyl** was a winter eladrin warlock, sworn to a celestial of Thalaar. As Sarlyl grew tired of his pact, he started tapping in to a darker side of his magic, forming a connection to the recently returned Nauron, who disguised himself as the celestial. Nauron successfully took over as Sarlyl's patron, and influenced the eladrin for some time.

Sarlyl was sent on a quest to recover an artefact of Thalaar, sealed away in the Plane of Fire. When Sarlyl completed the ritual to break the seal, his party revealed their alliances and a fight broke out, all while also fighting the dragon Ashbreath. In the end, Sarlyl gave up his current life so his patron would have the artefact, and when the fighting was over, Nauron swooped in to gather the spoils.
Shurynda Orlyar

Shurynda Orlyar literally translates to "Dagger-Captain of the Poison Guild"

**Shurynda Orlyar** is the captain of the drow outpost Ryldz'tes. Shurynda tends to focus almost exclusively on one interest at a time, and her latest hyperfixation seems to be mind flayers.

When the party visited Ryldz'tes in late Owlbear 853 CL, Shurynda allowed them to stay with her cousin Neeril who had recently joined the party. Durthee Rockcutter, a deep gnome newcomer to the party noticed a skull in Shurynda's possession, which Sannl Fireforge identified as the skull of Rhilin Farspire.
Narltoc

**Narltoc** was a hobgoblin warlord in the 9th century CL. His war band of hobgoblins, goblins, ogreblins, and worgs raided parts of Kavaad under his and his worg's command. The warband's attack on Greencrest was led by Dukrok and Ikriet, two goblin brothers. Narltoc's lieutenants were Hragun, Maglutai, and Okriyet. His mount Garziz was a dire worg who commanded the war band's other worgs.

Narltoc had very few allies, but he did have an alliance with Greyhand Helviep of the Ashen Fist for some time. Narltoc ruled his warband through fear and magic, relying on his fearsome worg and his magical sword to command his ranks. Thanks to Helviep, Narltoc's shamans acquired a set of amulets that gave them power over the snowcaps of the mountains in the Ridge of Blades, using this power, the shamans called down avalanches on their enemies, killing many goliaths.

Narltoc and his shamans were killed by a green dragon after a surprise attack by a party of adventurers (Altruism, Kelp, Mehen, Ulhirr, Willow) which had significantly weakened the present ranks of the warband. After this, the warband's control was taken over by Maglutai.
Starlight (sword)

**Starlight** is the ancestal sword of house Emberstar of Arrovale, but the sword was lost long ago. In its place, house Emberstar was given the sword Greensteel by King Rhygon II of Kavaad.

Starlight is described as an elegant longsword with a diamond-encrusted cross-guard and a slender blade. The sword is never dirty, and the light it sheds reveals unseen things to its wielder.

The sword was lost when a knight of ancient Arrovale had brought it with him into the Underdark for unknown reasons. After the knight's death, the sword was uncovered by the dragon Sazzanith and added to her lair. With the guidance of a sphinx, a party of adventurers divined the sword's location and managed to convince the dragon to lend them the sword in their quest against the mind flayers. The sword was then wielded by Kassiopeia Domine.

Tilda was then taken to Kernentown, where she ended up in a tube under the temple. A cult consisting mostly of members of the Montano family were trying to turn her and some of their own into mind flayers. This plot was stopped when the party snuck in and killed most of the cultists and the mind flayer tadpoles. Mudskipper Tilda already had a tadpole in her head, but it was not so far along that she couldn't be saved with the combined knowledge, skill, and magic of among others Persephone Buckthorn and Beatris Louhi.

Neeril Orlyar

**Neeril Orlyar** is a drow ranger from Ryldz'tes.

## Biography

### Early Life

Neeril (*neer*, strong, *il*, from *eyl*, arrow) was born to Draada Orlyar (*orly*, guild of, *ar*, poison), a daugther of Ryldz'tes' founderess.

    Neeril's mother raised her to be a ranger like herself, beginning when Neeril was very young. Draada taught her the fundamentals, and, as Neeril grew older, she was sent on missions alone to prove her skills. It was during some of these missions that she gained the cloakers' respect.

When Neeril was 65 years old, her older cousin Shurynda Orlyar (*shur*, dagger, *ynda*, captain) was granted the leadership of Ryldz'tes. Following this point, Draada was sent on solo missions for longer stretches of time, and while she was gone, Shurynda would cruelly tease Neeril for not being a skilled poison-maker, and thereby not living up to the family name.

Though Draada's final mission seemed just like all the others, she didn’t return as expected, going missing in 850 CL, and Neeril was suddenly completely alone, having no other allies in the city. In the years that followed, Neeril continued to go on missions, specialising in hunting monstrosities and aberrations and bringing back harvested materials. In late 850 CL, Neeril encountered Beatris Louhi, a travelling teenage half-drow, for the first time and they began trading regularly whenever they both were in Ryldz'tes; Neeril trading bones and components, and being given rare items and delicacies from the world above in return.

Blue

**Tubrin** is a human wizard who returned after having gone missing for almost a year. Since then, he has been locked up in the dungeons beneath Starpyre Keep.

After his return, Tubrin was studied by other mages, but non could identify his afflictions. Tubrin took many aliases and seemed to change personality completely, including a change in memories from personality to personality. Sometimes, he would claim to know everything about his visitors, except for Aknarr Graw and Martanna Emberstar, both of whom scared him. Tubrin displayed strange ticks and violent cramps until one day when an ankheg appeared in his cell and killed two guards. The ankheg was transferred to another cell, and Tubrin's cell was reinforced with more walls, chains, and guards.

After a visit from Persephone Buckthorn and her adventuring companions, most of whom had him before, Tubrin contorted his limbs and melted into the metal cube stuck in his head, leaving no trace of his body — only the cube remained, but it still called out to Percy.

Mara Calladar credited Tubrin with her survival in the Underdark, and since her return, she has exhibited similar personality disturbances, though to less violent degree. Unlike Tubrin, Mara Calladar was successfully identified, having powerful abjuration magic cast on her mind.

Zwakstog and Ungarn managed to kill the hags and stop their ritual, but in the process of closing the slowly expanding well, Zwakstog died. Ungarn, being a student of necromancy, raised Zwakstog as a zombie, and brought him to Redgate, where high priestess Unya of Manarakh resurrected him.

**Sinria** is a coastal city-state in the part of the Ridge of Blades known as "the Daggers", and its territory shares borders with Duerhaith, Thorothar, and Dragonhorn. Sinria is often referred to as "**the City of Devils**", because of its high population of tieflings, and its significance in the Infernal Invasion of Thindrel. The city is ruled by a council of mages, known as the Rainbow Council. Sinria also governs the city of Behera, and the surrounding lands.

Among the cabalist cities, Sinria was the city of illusionists.

## Ethnography

The people and cultures of Sinria are many and varied, but all of them are colored by the city's rich history, particularly the events of the Infernal Invasion.
Westermarsh

**Westermarsh** is a swampy ward in Virdenia, Kavaad. The ward is mostly covered in wet woodlands and marshes, and several rivers run from from Lake Virdenia through here to the sea.

Since **Castle Westermarsh** sank into swamp some time in the 7th century, the ward quickly lost its political importance, and following the disappearance of the local lords around 820 CL, the ward has been governed remotely by a steward appointed by the Baron of Virdenia.
Treeman Groot

"**Treeman Groot**" is a tree that grew in Tauryun. Like many trees in the Haunted Swamps, Groot was cursed by Nana Thara to become an animated servant tasked with killing humans.

He collected legends from the Arrons and the gnomes, and wrote many religious books himself to combine the indigenous faiths with the church of Manarakh that Arkhon I had brought with him, including his Book of Angels, which details the history of the faith ranging from mythic times to his own reign.

King Rhygon II also established the first canon of kavaadic saints, with many of these figures taking over the roles of previous deities and nature spirits once worshiped by the indigenous peoples.

### Affiliation

Lady Wintersong, The Mythhold Royal Academy of Arcane Studies (formerly a student)

## Physical description

### Eye color

Red

**Virtue** is a tiefling necromancer born in Sinria who grew up in Mythhold. She has very questionable methods and morals, which is one reason the Archfey Lady Wintersong chose her as one of her agents in retrieving her tongue from the mage Larian Coldmoon. Virtue did not become a particularly powerful necromancer during her time in Mythhold, but at some point, after several disappearances and kidnappings, she ended up somewhere in Thorothar, where she was experimented on, and the blackening of her fingertips expanded to her entire arm as more and more runes where carved into her skin. This increased her power, but she soon woke up without the arm in a cart full of other bodies. She was then saved and led through a passage in the Feywild by Lady Wintersong and given the mission to reclaim the archfey's tongue.

When Virtue's left arm was regenerated, it did not grow back with any runes or blackened skin. Her powers of necromancy had also sort of reset, so she got a level 1 wizard spell book from Beatris Louhi and started almost from scratch.

She once slept with Altruism, because, um, well, her name is Virtue and she's not his dad, so it's kinda just how it has to be ¯\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Virdenia (kingdom)

The kingdom of **Virdenia** was one of the older human civilizations on the Verdish Coast. The kingdom existed from at least the 1st century CL and until the late 5th century CL, when it was conquered and became a territory of the larger kingdom of Agranor. In the early 8th century CL, Virdenia became a barony in the kingdom of Kavaad.
Trissana

**Trissana** was a dragonborn sorceress working for Eknoron Zerevil. Trissana's scales were mud-green, she had hair-like scales on the back of her head, and her yellow eyes and feline facial features resembled those of a green dragon.

Trissana was known to trade in material components and secrets. She preferred arcane knowledge and power to the clink of gold pieces.

She was killed in her own collapsing demiplane.
Mulch

Mulch throughout his criminal career

**Mulch** is an old half-dwarf criminal organiser for the thieves' guild in Flowerfen. He was approached by Marigold back when she decided to work against the baron, and brought into contact with Lady Rosalina Barnspring, so the guild could have a safe and secret meeting place. Mulch spent decades as a central figure in the thieves' guild's mission to expose and depose the baron. In his later working years, he gave most of his responsibilities to other high-ranking agents, such as Crocus.

Mulch was eventually captured by the baron's men and imprisoned for years. He was saved and healed by the party in late 853 CL.
Horgrol Deepriver

**Horgrol Deepriver** was a dwarven mage from Kerrum. Deepriver was once a student at Galoz Menok, but when his sorcery began to falter, he made a pact with Daeszal to gain magical powers in return for releasing the demon Nefathat into the world.

Horgrol Deepriver manipulated and used many of the inhabitants of Shiv, such as Uric Kragmace, Imnod Rodvoan, and Gretalyn Dimstone.

With Imnod Rodvoan's help, Horgrol had installed a number of deadly traps in his house Shiv, which lead to the deaths of the adventurers Kaelor Brasknurr and Ryu.
Catostago

**Catostago**, **Cathos**, or **Castothagon** was the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Virdenia until the 3rd century CL, when Turrisso III moved his capital to Lakeview. The location of Catostago remains a mystery. Most historical records place it on a cliff on the Verdish Coast, yet others place it on the bank of Lake Virdenia.
Tudsetrold

**Tudsetrold** (lit: "toad troll") is an awakened black cat. He was first found and adopted by Kelp Blackheart in Riverrest when his eyes projected cones of blinding light. This happened around the same time Kelp saw the amphibious troll Pervigilus with the same glowing eyes, which is where Tudsetrold's name comes from. Tudsetrold was later awakened by Willow Stormborn in Syllior where he lived as Kelp Blackheart and Habla Seafroth's pet. Tudsetrold then became an important witness in the hunt for "Slonn" and the Soulstone.

When the young sea hag Demia was taken in at the Obelisk where Kelp, Habla, and Tudsetrold live, Tudsetrold was quick to befriend her.
Zalvin

**Zalvin** is the reanimated corpse of a mind flayer. On the 1st Treeday, Key, 853 CL, the Distiller was killed in the City of the Glass Pool. The Distiller was then reanimated as a zombie by Beatris Louhi. Reanimated, the Distiller was nicknamed Zalvin and used by the party to access the qualith door locks in the mind flayer colony.

Neeril Orlyar harvested parts of this Distiller's corpse to uncover psychic magic, learning the *mind spike* spell.

When the volcanic mountains of Badkûr proved too warm, Zilmenaa returned to Thindrel, planning to seek out a good place to lair near Mount Vaspan in Agranor. On their way to their new lair, Zilmenaa encountered a party of adventurers heading to the Underdark, and offered their help to them. The party's halfling cleric Percy gave Zilmenaa a few gems and jewels in return. Later in Kalruun, the adventurers found Zilmenaa and convinced them to return with their group to Kavaad and help them sniff out an older silver dragon rumored to live there.

Nauron

Nauron in 852 CL

**Nauron** was a tauryuni wood elf hermit and one of the heroes who joined Soliel Felessa in her final quest to defeat Kalrath the Archlich. In his youth, Nauron uncovered a lost monastery of a cult of elemental fire. Here he found a magical ring and studied ancient tomes and scrolls of elemental disciplines. Nauron was once known as *the Master of the Flame*. In undeath, Nauron has claimed the title of *the Eternal Flame*.

Nauron battled many drow on his journeys throughout Thindrel's underground lands, and deep within the Underdark, he acquired a drow-made cloak of invisibility that would aid him in his later adventures. In a fateful battle against Kalrath's death knight lieutenant Lord Blath in late 384, Nauron was slain an raised as the evil vampire spawn of Lord Blath. Nauron was soon defeated by Murin Axeworth and had his soul trapped in the magical ring known as Nauron's Ring or the Phoenix Ring.

468 years after Nauron's death, his ring was discovered on Tol'Anar by a westhavian wizard called Alamond Castlemoor. The ring was quickly stolen by the wizard's distant relative Charles Castlemoor, when he discovered that Alamond was being influenced by the spirit of the ring. Charles also fell under Nauron's influence, and eventually died because of it. With Charles' help, Nauron acquired the Helm of Blath, and when Charles died, Nauron reanimated his corpse as his own vessel and escaped on a nightmare steed that he summoned with the death knight's helm. Before leaving, Nauron gave Charles' burned right hand to Altruism Solbjørnssøn and Willow Stormborn.

With his powers restored, Nauron disguised himself as a celestial, and waited for his unknowing warlock Sarlyl to uncover a holy artefact of the fire god Thalaar. When the many factions of the Plane of Fire were done killing each other over the artefact, Nauron took it for himself.
Wakkra

**Wakkra** is a legendary figure in Agranorian orc lore, said to have given birth to the first generation of tanarukk. Her body is said to have burned away in dark flames as she ascended to a higher form of being. The story is that she sold her people to the Archlich in return for this ascension.

Wakkra's immense power inspired future orc tribes of Agranor to forbid women from being warriors, afraid of their potential strength.
The Daggers

**The Daggers** is a colloquial term for the southern part of the Ridge of Blades where the mountains are much smaller. The Dagger territories are split between the kingdoms of Duerhaith and Kavaad, the city-state of Sinria, and a number of nomadic tribes from Thorothar and the Ridge of Blades. Most of the region falls under the Kingdom of Duerhaith and gives name to the dwarves of that kingdom, called the Dagger Dwarves.

In addition to the dwarves, there are many different peoples and ethnic groups present in these arid lands. The subterranean landscape of the Underdark is littered with dwarven townships and mines. The dwarves lay claim to the underground much more heavily than they do the surface. The surface is a largely open wilderness with few permanent structures or settlements. As a result, the surface provides refuge for people of all races and backgrounds.
Sebastion Redleaf

Parents:Barbara & Wendel Redleaf

**Sebastion Redleaf** is a human arcane trickster rogue enrolled at the Mythhold Royal Academy of Arcane Studies. He sees himself as a professional disturber of peace in the Sableward household, loves sitting in a knook while reading a book, and is morbidly curious.

## Biography

### Early life

Sebastion Redleaf had a rough start to his life. The Redleaf family were being chased out of Westhaven by their landlords for not being able to pay for their house. With mercenaries on their tail, Barbara, who was pregant at the time, and Wendel, cached in a favour from their friend Gavin to get them to a place where the large family could start anew. Sebastion was born on the ship on the way to Littlehaven, during a storm. With Gavin’s help and many contacts, they made their way to Mythhold after months of traveling out of sight, and was luckily taken in by the Sableward family, gaining roof over their heads in return for being servants of the Sableward household.

Sebastion is the second youngest of his many siblings. From a very young age he spent most of his time in the library pestering his oldest brother Archibald, the household librarian, for new books to read. By the age of 12, Seb had already read through half of the library, with the exception of the sections that was for “adult matters” (not the naughty stuff, but science, war and historybooks)…. WIP, will continue later
Thanissus

**Thanissus** or (**Ta'ainitu** in Ika'oto) is an island group that encompasses hundreds of islands in the Green Sea. The Thanissian Archipelago is home to many different races, namely halflings, cloud giants, storm giants, merfolk, tritons, watersoul genasi, aarakocra, sahuagin, and occasionally genies.

The dryad tree Deeproot is found in the Maelstrom Reef in Thanissus.
Wraithbane

**Wraithbane** is the ancestral sword of House Meisent, granted to them by the king of Kavaad. The sword is a gleaming longsword with a gilded pommel in the shape of a fist, and when "wielded by a worthy champion", the sword glows with a light capable of slaying wraiths and other specters. The sword was central in the rise of the Meisent Dynasty as successors to royal house Zokesh, and again in King Jerestan's Mad War in which most of Arkhon the Great's descendants were killed.

When Tymas Meisent ascended the throne, his father Borostan gave him his family's sword, and Wraithbane rose from being one of four noble swords to being the new royal sword.

In 851 CL, the sword was stolen from House Meisent and acquired by their enemies.
