Moon Elves

A sad, lonely people, the Moon Elves were the elves most prone to commit suicide after the fall of Aros. It is said that half of their already small number of 1,000 had died before they looked upon the moon of the first night. It was only after looking onto the moon that some of the moon elves felt comforted enough to continue to live, but their lives would forever be a struggle with the memory of what they had left behind. Despite their sadness, they admired the work the Sun Elves had done to create cities in parody of the ones they had on Aros.

The leader of the Sun Elves even offered to give the Moon Elves a city of their own, on the island of Varnya, and so many of the remaining Moon Elves moved to the city and became benevolent subjects of the Sun Elves, giving the Sun Elves taxes in the form of fish, wood, and clay pottery.

The Moon Elves would remain a small and unimportant people for hundreds of years after the fall of Aros, content with their isolated existence on Varnya.
Kingdom of Humarius

The Kingdom of Humarius was created after the downfall of the Olithian Empire by a warlord named Tazmain. The kingdom remained largely self isolated and decentralized.

Giant Spider

The giant spider was, undoubtedly, forged in a hellish workshop with the sole purpose to devour and destroy man. In the 7th era, their presence has long since been confined to small regions such as Dargoth Forest. Though confined in the 7th era, they still present a thorough threat to any who are foolish enough to venture into places such as Dargoth Forest. They stand upwards of 5ft tall and can move silently towards their victims. With fangs and a stinger, these preditors can make short work of most who stand against them, worse yet is the fact that they hunt in large packs. Although not known how large, estimates give that the packs could range in the hundreds to maybe even thousands.
Larius Aventus

Larius Aventus was born in 171 1E, and would abdicate the throne to his son shortly after becoming emperor, becoming known as the short reigning eleventh ruler. His reign lasted less than a year, and Larius spent most of his time as emperor hunting outside the city walls.

Born in 171 1E.

Abdicated in 220 1E, being replaced by his son, Ciren Aventus.
Rennis

Rennis is the capital city of the Bellspring Lake Province and is known for its mass export of grain to other parts of the Kingdom of Telmara. The current lords of the city are House Spring.

Rennis is also home to the Executioner Guild outside of the city. They hold the full ability to issue 'writes' of execution at the request of any noble or local government inside of Telmara.
Gudram Bywater

Gudram was born in 439 7E. A soft-spoken man, Gudram quickly became a close ally of Faldon Baerain III despite their families being at odds with each other after House Bywater refused to take up arms against House Longrivers during the Baerain Rebellion.

Gudram was raised to hate House Baerain by his father, however, Gudram would work past his haltered for the Baerain's and even attempt to find common ground that they could agree on.

In 455 7E, against his own father's wishes, Gudram joined the Thirty Year Siege to prove his loyalty to the king. Upon arrival to the siege, Gudram was quickly taken under the guidance of Aner Baerain II, who would later knight Gudram in 468 7E after the siege had ended.

Returning home victories, Gudram found that his father had disinherited him from his birthright and all inheritance. Distraught at the betrayal, Gudram made plans to leave Telmara and travel to the Greyhold, but was stopped by Aner Baerain II who urged his friend to press his claim to Onara by appealing to the king. Listening to Aner's council, Gudram traveled to Numeris and pled Faldon Baerain III to return his name and birthrights, to which Faldon agreed to without hesitation.

Upon hearing the news, Gudram's father barred himself off in the Onara Keep, to which Gudram, with the help of Aner and a small elite group of veterans (including Alex Greene) were able to convince some guards within the keep to open the gates. After the storming of the keep, Gudram forced his father to relinquish his titles and leave Telmara all together. Gudram recognized the help that House Baerain had provided him, and even offered compensation for the help they had provided, to which the king and Aner both denied.
Malor Gailren

Malor Gailren was among the first elves to be born outside of Aros. He was born around the year 1 EA, and would later go on to become an important figure within sea elven culture.

At the age of 100, Malor Gailren, being the eldest of Nilus Gailren, was given the largest fleet out of any of his siblings when he was sent east to find the "corners of the east." The fleet sent with Malor would not be wasted, as Malor was given the rights by his father to colonize any promising sites along his way. His men would leave the city of Levitia and make their way east along the northern coast of Olmania. Malor would establish the colonies of Uvarus, Ilmiss, Mokir, and Egailus before setting sail even further east, but failed to find any land any further east and had to return home.
House Morrin

House Morrin was one of the founding houses that first settled in Norwich. They're known for their forging abilities and have been the blacksmiths of Norwich since it's creation in 376 7E. The house has always boasted fierce men and women who have been great warriors. Harold Morrin was the head of House Morrin in 485 7E, where he was slain by Garrett Starhold. After Harold's death, Sebastian Morrin became the head of House Morrin.

Olithian Empire

## The Olithian Empire

One of the greatest empires ever to develop in Augoria, the Olithian Empire was the center of commerce, culture, religion, and technological progress for thousands of years. At the hight of the empire, the empire stretched from Drasis to the west, to the edges of Valahast to the east. The downfall of Olithia sent nearly all of Augoria into millennia of dark ages.

## History

### First Era

During the first era of the Olithian Empire, the kings and queens would expand the empire to become the largest realm ever. In 224 1E, conflict between the Empire and the Idani people led to the sacking of Levdonia, leaving the Idani people to resettle in Castfall.

## Dynasties

Aventus Dynasty

Barthadus Dynasty
Norfen Forest

Norfen Forest passes the bordered both Telmara and Skoreth and acted as a natural border between the two nations. Norwich lied on its southern edge while the city of Torgarren lied on its northern edge. Both of the settlements used the forest for a large supply of timber, and many small hamlets were scattered throughout the Norfen Forest.

Deep within the forest there were rumors of terrible orcs that still lived and bred within the protection of the forest, but both the kingdoms of Telmara and Skoreth had made no statements on the validity of the rumors.

## Etymology

Norfen comes from the word "Norphee" from the Old Olithian Tongue which means North. Norfen forest used to be called the "North Forest" but its meaning was later lost. Once Old Olithian fell out of practice in the region, Norphee morphed into Norphen -> Norfen.
Radulfus Baerain

Born in 352 7E, Radulfus Baerain led the rebellion against Ulric Longrivers in 388 7E with help from his son, Faldon Baerain. He had bonded with House Redclaw's ruler, Sadon Redclaw, and when Ulric murdered Sadon, Radulfus joined forces with House Redclaw to over throw House Longrivers. They stormed the capital of Numeris in 390 7E and successfully overtook it.

In the year of 392 7E, Radulfus created The King's Hand to inform, control and centralize the command of the throne.

Radulfus had plans to take more land from the Fellmar peoples, but was never able to launch the campaign.

Radulfus hunted down anyone he could find from House Longrivers with no mercy. He claimed this was in vengeance of House Redclaw, but others vassals disagreed with the murders.

Radulfus died only 5 years after he took the Numeris Throne, leaving his young son at the age of 23 to rule over the realm.
Laughing Root

Laughing Root or "Lavrune" in the Old Olithian Tongue is an ingredient used in potions to treat depression in its patients. Due to its rarity, (only being found in the Pale Marsh) its price has stayed steadily high in Augoria. Unfortunately for its location, many of those suffering from depression that go looking for the root themselves inside of the Pale Marsh go missing, presumably tricked into suicide by one of the many malicious forces that live within the marsh.
Gisanda Eswell

Gisanda Eswell, Witch Queen of Algholmak, Dragon Binder, and Supreme Servant of Dolgroth. From a simple peasant witnessing the fall of her beloved kingdom, to the eventual leader of a reborn empire of her own, Gisanda Eswell served as one of Dolgroth's most successful servants. Gisanda Eswell was born in the city of Edenport in 1911 1E and would become queen of a new empire at the age of 28.

Gisanda's goal was to subjugate enough of the population in Augoria to Dolgroth's will that he could once again walk upon the planet. To this end, she forced everyone in her kingdom to worship only Dolgroth, and was merciless in slaughtering all that wouldn't. She opened portals to his domain, allowing his servants and dark forces to once again enter Augoria and corrupt the very land they touched.

The elves of the east were appalled by Gisanda's work and attempted to rally together a force to defeat her and her demonic armies. But as her master's worship grew, so did the power of her armies, and she was eventually able to summon a great dragon named Falcath bound to her will. And together they spread the worship of Dolgroth across the Narrow Sea and beyond.

> "Under her banner she brought dirges upon dragons, and soured the harvest's fruit. And to the forests she brought ruination, and to the meek she brought demise. And unto forth the deep things of this earth awoke anew. And so great was her might that even the shades upon the trees received her requisitions, and the forest creatures fled out of sight. And down she marched, with the wintered nights, to the east and west, to north and south, the Witch Queen of Algholmak walks yet still!" -Sargaus Huntos, *The Witch Queen of Algholmak*
>

## Minions

Gisanda was able to bring in many forces including:

* Minotaurs
* Harpies
* Shades
* Shadows
* Demons
* Devils
* Dragons
* Giants
* Orcs
* Humans
* Trolls
* Goblins
* Ghouls
* Kobolds

## Final Defeat

In 336 2E, after three centuries of rule, Gisanda would finally be defeated at the Battle of Olgath, where she would be slain and her minions would scatter across Augoria. Although her ultimate goal of bringing Dolgroth into the Augoria had failed, she had brought enough of his will into Augoria for him to begin manipulating the physical world slowly, building power as the only deity free to meddle with the mortal affairs of Augoria.
Robert Kennedy Alt Controversy

On the second day of the Vigil Administration, more controversy arose. It was discovered that Vice President Robert F. Kennedy was caught using an alt.

It took a lot of prying from the Congress and Mods, however, it was discovered that he had an alt, who was elected to congress. He was spared, and wasn't banned, however, his alt was banned.

He later resigned as Vice President.
Amberhold

The County of Amberhold was located between Castfall and the Greyhold, where it served as the home to the Amberguard, a group of mercenaries. The land was gifted to Elderic Amber after he assisted Greyhold in defending against pirates off of the Whitelight Coast. The city in which the Amberguard had made their home is called Ambrosis and it also serves as the capital of the region.
Olmania

Olmania is the continent that humans first emerged from on. Olmania is to the east of Augoria. Olmania means "old land" or potentially "homeland" in the Old Olithian Tongue.

## Countries

* Principality of Arlegas
* Kingdom of Humarius

Lastlight

The town of Lastlight is the last thread of civilization on the Severos Islands before heading to the New World or Sunderlands to the further west. The island is home to only a few demihumans, slavers, outcasts, and criminals. The port itself is used mainly as a jumping off point to get between Wesumania and the Sunderlands. The island produces very little itself and makes most of its economy through porting taxes on sheltering ships. And although the town and surrounding islands is under the control of Kingdom of Vildara, the kingdom leaves the island largely alone, giving governing rights to the local demihumans.
Idani

The Idani, or to their human neighbors the Yellow Elves, live in small towns and cities largely isolated from the other parts of the world. They have lightly yellowed skin and pointed elven ears. They are known to live for around 300-400 years old, but there have been a select few who have lived longer. They call the province of Castfall their home, and although they do recognize a king as their overlords, they are largely independent and decentralized. As people, they value their town or cities above all else, and it is seen as an honor to never have to leave the walls of a safe city.

Within the cities and towns that the Idani live in, they also have very strong familial bonds and pass down their houses for generations. The house is seen as the most important possession in the Idani's life and to have it taken away is a great burden upon them.

They claim that they were once elves too, but they refused to join Sumèru in his feast halls a long distance from their homes and remained home instead. He asked some of his closest followers to bring these disobedient elves to him, and when they arrived to the Idani's city, they tried to persuade them to go to the feast hall. Upon refusal of the offer, violence broke out and many died on both sides. When Sumèru heard about this, he took it upon himself to turn the elves from their pale white skin to a sickly yellow color. From that day onward, the Idani have a burning hatred for Sumèru and his elven kin. They were allowed to remain in their city, but from that day forth they were never again invited to the feasting halls. They also were no longer granted immortality, and would eventually die.

The Idani are closely guarded people who don't like outsiders inside of their land. They tolerate the races of men who oftentimes live in small communities outside of their cities working in the agricultural fields. They cannot, however, tolerate other elves within their realm and are known to become aggressive and even kill elves that enter Castfall.

The only race that the Idani has a passion for is the dwarves, who they invite to carve their walls that surround their cities. Wealthier families sometimes have dwarven architectures design and build their family houses, which is seen as a huge honor among the Idani.
Aga

Aga was the largest of the four main islands of Amattsukoji and was where the capital city of Ashiro was located. The island was prone to many natural disasters such as typhones, tsunamis and earthquakes. Because of these natural occurances, the populations of the island often offered sacrifices of rice and chicken to the sea gods.

The island also was home to a sizable mountain range where trolls and goblins would launch raids from. At the hight of the imperial powers on the island, the emperor nearly wipped the goblins and trolls out from their hiding spots, but after the emperor withdrew from public life the threats from the mountains increased in the 7th Era.

The island hosted a sizable population of gnomes which worked as gemshapers and tutors for the upperclass of the island.
Elves

Elves were one of the most well known races in Augoria. They were a tall, pale people who were often obsessed with a past grandeur of a time before the sundering of Aros. Many elves suffered from depression, with the race nearly going extinct after they landed in Olmania. Over time, different groups of elves found different ways of coping with the end of their lives on Aros, with these different elves slowly growing distinctly different from one another.

 “While our fallen brethren, the Idani, have given in to their desire for wealth and security, we elves hold our desires at arm’s length. The temptation to indulge ourselves in the physical pleasures of this world is within all of us. But to do so is to debase the value of each pleasure we receive. Each pearl must be cherished, each love must be remembered, every day must be lived with the knowledge that all good things must come to an end.” -Elven scholar

 Subraces:

* Deep Elves
* Moon Elves
* Sea Elves
* Snow Elves
* Sun Elves
* Wood Elves

## History

After the sundering of Aros, the elves would arrive in the Bay of Arvayna early in the Era of Awakening. There were only a few thousand elves who made the journey, with the rest remaining behind on Aros to purposely kill themselves in the sundering. They called the small encampment they created Mydurr, which meant dying camp. From here, the elves would split off and form their own communities. Many of the remaining elves decided to starve themselves to death in Mydurr, while some tried to make the camp their permanent home.

## Cities

* Mydurr
* Ovarda
Ciren Aventus

Ciren Aventus was born in 194 1E, and would later become the twelfth ruler of Olithia. Ciren would be a continuation of the golden age for Olithia, taking the throne from his father in 220 1E, when his father abdicated the throne to him. While the empire saw large scale building projects across the empire, it also saw the settlement of many dwarven and elven people within the empire, with the Silverwood Forest officially becoming integrated into the empire as part of the Silverwood Province in 222 1E.

Ciren was close to Severus Aventus IV, who was his cousin and was in line to become the eleventh ruler of Olithia before his death in battle against the Idani people during a visit to Levdonia in 207 1E. This transgression stained the Aventus Dynasty, especially after Amelia Aventus was rumored to have killed herself out of grief many years after her son's death.

Olithia had long waited to take Levdonia for themselves, and in 224 1E, Ciren unleashed the largest imperial force ever implemented to capture Levdonia for the empire. The event that followed is recalled as the Sacking of Levdonia, and the city was burnt to the ground with many of the ancient artifacts being stolen from the city, and many of the Idani people being enslaved.

With Levdonia being destroyed, the lands westwards were slowly converted into valuable farming land for the crown.
Amberguard

The Amberguard served as highly skilled and disciplined mercenaries that served in the Greyhold and Castfall regions. Their group was first founded in 1300 6E when Elderic Amber helped lead a group of skilled knights to defend the city of Henna. After the successful counter-attack, the then lord of the Tributary Kingdom of Ethatosia would grant a small land holding near the border of Castfall in the year 1,300 4E. Giving this land away would greatly upset the king of Greyhold, whom would later launch an unsuccessful campaign to recapture the region. Elderic Amber's descendants would lead the defense against many other attacks by the Greyhold kings, until the early 5E when Greyhold began using the Amberguard to help defend their cities against pirate and bandit attacks.

The Amberguard wore a unique set of armor with amber embedded within the steel armor they wore, with the more extravagant sets of armor being almost fully covered in amber. These sets of armor were coveted by the Amberguard, and the members would go to great lengths to ensure no sets were allowed to fall into the hands of non-members.

As a policy, the Amberguard largely avoided joining into armed conflicts with nations if able, but they would occasionally allow for it in unique circumstances.

In 478 7E, one Olaf Longrivers became a prominent commander within the group and drawing the eyes of Telmara after his successful battle against pirates attacking Nordby.
Minotaur

Found deep under the earth in forgotten tombs, the minotaur remains the adventures worst nightmare. Although appearing unintelligent to the other races of Augoria, minotaurs are actually just as intelligent as the other intelligent races. They lack any known writing system but have been known to make deals with dwarves to protect their treasure. In exchange, the dwarves bring the minotaurs meat, since if the minotaurs arise to the surface world, they would most likely face persecution and even death. The researcher Sargaus Huntos claimed to have witnessed a minotaur make a deal with a group of dwarves to help fight a rival clan in his book "Minotaur- The Lost Race." They have also been known to be solitary creatures, preferring to live by themselves or in small packs.
House Rook

House Rook is currently the head of the Greyhold and are one of the most powerful houses in Promania. Their founder was Ragorith Rook who established the house in 746 6E when he led a small uprising of men inside of the capital of Wynar comprised of wealthy aristocrats. The people on the streets were awed by Ragorith's ability to transform into ravens at will and talk to the creatures when he wanted to. He was able to establish one of the greatest spy networks in all of Augoria using the ravens as his own personal spies. Within weeks, nearly all who would betray him had been flushed out of the city being either banished from the Greyhold or executed.

The ability to transform into ravens and speak to them is inherited through birth, however requires learning to be able to be properly used. It is unknown how Ragorith was able to learn of his gifts, but it is known that even as a young child Ragorith would spend many of his days away from other children, preferring to try and befriend wild creatures.
High Dwarves

The High Dwarves were the first of the dwarves, a stout and proud people with their homelands in the Mountains of Awakening. When they awoke after the sundering of Aros, they formed into the first 9 dwarven houses under the 9 dwarven kings that Orryn had designated for them. These 9 houses each split off and claimed land within the Mountains of Awakening and then later beyond.

The other sub-races of dwarves would later come from the High Dwarves as they became more accustomed to their lives elsewhere.
Ghost Whales

## Ghost Whale

Giant whales that are found in the Enderi Ocean. Its body remains translucent, leaving the bones of the whale being able to be seen through its hide. The whales also glow in the dark, leaving many sailors afraid of skeletal whales in the dark.

Ghost Whales are known for growing as large as 130 ft. and their bones have become a valuable commodity due to their ability to glow in the dark. Ghost whales are shy creatures and prefer to stay away from humans and travel in small groups of no more than ten.
Calren

## The Kingdom of Calren

Calren is a coastal kingdom that is blocked off from Telmara by a mountain range. The dwarven cities of Nula and Dor Unn connects the two kingdoms together.

Before Calren was a kingdom, Erìn Port was used as a penal colony for many of Olithia's unwanted during the course of the 1E.

Calren's culture has been influenced greatly by the many races that have been invited to live within their cities. One of the most prominent races that settled inside of Calren has been the ratkin. The settlement of ratkin within Calren has drawn much ire from the kingdoms of Telmara.

During much of the 6E, orcs had been living in the countryside of Calren in growing numbers. Many of the people in Calren respected the orcs, but the growing attacks on the kingdoms of Telmara, Fellmar and Greyhold placed pressure on the ruling elite to ban the orcs from the country.

In the 2nd century of the 7E, during the year of 130 7E, the orcs were expelled from all major cities of Calren by the decree of the king. This expulsion of the orcs would lead to massive civil unrest, and would pull Calren into The Orc Wars that they were trying to avoid getting involved in.

Over the period of 8 years, Calren would engage in warfare against the orcs, until the last of the orc resistance was destroyed, pushing the remaining orcs north or into small communities allowed to live outside of the cities. The ceased assets from the war helped fuel the kingdom into a golden age during the 2nd and 3rd century of the 7E.

By the end of the 3rd century, the brutal assassination of many prominent political figures caused a growing decline in Calren's power. The orcs who had been oppressed for the last two centuries had also been working to become part of the large society again, and many within the cities took to violence to stop the spread of orcish culture.

Amattsukoji

Amattsukoji was an island nation to the southwest of Wesumania in the Enderi Ocean. The nation was ruled by a human dynastic family that descended directly from the gods of the islands. These humans call themselves the Nigotsu and had a strong centralized government around the Imperial Court.

The island nation had four main islands: Aga, Runi, Rodatsu and Fukura.

The ruler of Amattsukoji in 4E 785 was a man named Tsunero from the Yomori Clan.
Norwich Council

## The Norwich Council

The Norwich Council is the ruling body over the town of Norwich. Although they don't have full autonomy over the land itself, their lord rules over Norwich with a soft hand allowing Norwich to make many of its own decisions. The council has eleven members that help delegate important decisions relating to the town.

The council aims to give voices to all of the important houses inside of Norwich as to increase the likely hood that the council passes laws and make decisions that benefit everyone instead of just a select few.

Olithia

The Imperial Capital of Olithia is one of the oldest human cities in Augoria. It was established in 1 1E by Marcus Aventus, who built the city in the hopes of providing a center of what he hoped would be a new world order. Over the millennium, the population and importance of the city has changed over time. In the 7th Era, the city outer wall has been completely abandoned, due to the lack of population to fill the city. While the city still has symbolic importance to humans, its functionality has largely been abandoned, especially due to the widespread disease and sacking the city has experienced over the years. An emperor still sits on the Imperial Throne, but any real power (even within the Olithian Empire itself) is held by the lords of Eriksul, Bellport, and other important trading and financial cities. Many countries pay lip services to the emperor, but no king is bound by his will, with the potential exception of the Arlegas.
Marcus Aventus

Born 20 years before the closing of the Era of Awakening, Marcus Aventus would go on to become the first emperor of Olithia. He spent his earlier life as a prominent commander to the city state of Arthren, but when the city refused to pay the veterans after several years of campaigning, Marcus marched upon the city and became the ruler of the city. Marcus spent the next several years taking control of many of the city states in the Olithian Peninsula, and founded the city of Olithia in 1 1E, proclaiming himself "king of all men" and would begin to push eastwards into the Arlegas area in the following years.

Marcus's rule is remembered as the beginning of a golden age for the Olithian people, one where many within the Empire would flourish, even with the constant imperial expansions of the empire. Marcus Aventus became a prominent sponsor to many artists and writers, and worked on forging lasting friendships with the elves and the dwarves.

Born in 20 EA.

Died in 61 1E at the age of 81, being replaced by his second son, Lutius Aventus.
Eriksul

The city was founded some time in the Era of Awakening, although the exact date remains unknown. Before the founding of the Olithian Empire, the city was an independent city state, but would soon swear fealty to Marcus Aventus in 2 1E when Marcus offered the local lords reduced taxes in exchange for vassalage. The city during most of its history remained a powerful trading city, with it's main export being fish, naval supplies, and vast sums of sheep wool and barely.

During the 7th Era, the city grew in importance as the city of Olithia continued to decline. With this new found power, the lords of Eriksul began to undermine the already weak imperial system for their own gain. The subsidized barely that was supposed to be delivered yearly to the capital began to decline in quality, and the demanded price began to rise.
Markan Barthadus

Markan Barthadus was the last ruler of the Olithian Empire, and would reign for 13 years from 1003-1020 1E.

By the time of his rule, the fall of Olithia was nearly certain. Externally, dragons scorched the western lands, pirates raided the coasts, the frozen undead armies and northern lords bared down from the north. The west was in constant rebellion and the fruit baskets of the southern lands were lost in former rebellions, replaced by enemies willing to fight. The Three Thousand Tribes to the east poured into the fertile fields and pillaged the imperial coffers. Governors became dukes and kings and the armies of the imperium became loyal to coins that the empire no longer minted. Trade withered, and plagues cut through the land. And oftentimes, the emperor was too incompetent to even care, only knowing about the court life within the capital.

Markan, unfortunately, was not a ambitious emperor and spent his days on long hunting trips and watching theater plays in the capital. The death of his wife Umbria during childbirth to Taleric Barthadus may have caused him to go insane, ordering the execution of many of the last loyal governors. Instead, they raised their own armies, walked into the capital, forced Markan to sign a treaty allowing lords to independently succeed from the empire, and then tortured and executed his entire family.

Taleric Barthadus, however, was smuggled out of the city by a servant girl who would travel across the Narrow Sea and raise the boy herself.

Markan was remembered as the last in a long line of terrible rulers. After his death a local warlord would seize control of Olithia and the Olithian Peninsula, but would elect to take the title of 'king' and would form the Kingdom of Humarius instead.
Kobolds

The origin of the Kobolds was largely a mystery. The Kobolds themselves cared very little about recording the history of themselves, and instead took pleasure in setting traps- especially against dwarves. They enjoyed living in subterranean caves, but would often live in dwarven fortresses if possible. Unlike the ratkin who worked independently from other races, the Kobolds did not mind working for more powerful races if it meant getting food and killing their enemies. They always obeyed every order they were given, but were quick to try to exploit their agreements with other races, or even other kobold tribes they worked with. A kobold tribe often had between 20-100 kobolds and they would deal with enemies by drawing them into elaborate traps to try and kill them. If that didn't work or they were cornered, they would swarm the enemy with numbers. Notably, kobolds would not attack people or groups that they knew they couldn't win against, instead preferring to pick off weaker members. Kobolds have been known to torture fallen enemies for fun and eat them too.
House Bywater

House Bywater was one of the most powerful houses in all of Telmara in 485 7E and owned Onara Keep and Onara.

In 485 7E Gudram Bywater had been known to be a quick and intelligent advisor to Faldon Baerain III, however, he let it be known his disdain for the embarrassment that he thought the Thirty Years Siege was. His tense reaction to the war aside, his firstborn son, Rickstan Bywater, became the squire to Aner Baerain II in 485 7E, cementing a positive relationship between the two houses.
Arcane Aventus

Arcane Aventus was born in 120 1E to Syven Aventus. Arcane was born 8 years before his great grandmother, Coraline Aventus would die in 128 1E, ending the first golden age of Olithia. He would suddenly become the sixth Emperor of Olithia in 135 1E at the age of 15, when Severus Aventus supposedly made him the heir on his deathbed. Although Arcane's reign was short, it was known that Arcane disliked being Emperor of Olithia, especially in time of conflict, and hoped to reach a peaceful negotiation with his cousin, Severus Aventus II, in 137 1E, but to no avail. Arcane was a quiet boy who spent most of his time reading and writing, and preferred to allow his council to rule in his stead. Olithia during his reign was in an economic downturn, with bandits and marauders pillaging the streets of many cities and much of the countryside of Olithia.

Arcane was eventually forced to face his cousin in battle in 141 1E, after Severus Aventus II finally gathered enough support to attempt to attack Arcane. Severus Aventus II would win the battle, and have his cousin executed for conspiring as a false Emperor.

Born in 120 1E.

Died in 135 1E, being replaced by Severus Aventus II.
Blue Milk

Blue Milk is a treasured cooking ingredient that many chiefs would pay a small fortune to obtain. The milk comes only from lapis cows around the town of Bluehills, and the citizens refuse to part with even a single lapis cow willingly, even going so far as to hire the Vildaran Adventure's Guild in order to protect their cows. The blue milk itself, however, is the towns largest export, and is sold for a hefty amount of money and sent out all across Wesumania.

The milk is noted to have a slightly tart taste compared to regular milk, and has a hint of blueberry flavor. The milk is used in recipes from pies to special alcohol.

Despite the difficulties in transporting the perishable food item, specialized magical ice boxes are often used to freeze the milk, allowing for export nearly everywhere.
Arlanna Gailren

Arlanna Gailren was the only daughter and second child of Nilus Gailren and was arguably given one of the most difficult tasks of heading north to bring home the knowledge of the "corners of the north." Unlike her older brother, Malor Gailren, Arlanna was given a much smaller fleet and after heading north when she was around the age of 94, she settled a colony in southern Normania called Norva. Unhappy with her short travel, Arlanna was determined to continue her mission north on foot. It's said that she traveled northwards for an entire year. Each step was said to become colder and the trees and the mountains became more sporadic until finally Arlanna came to open fields of endless winter snow. Finally finished with her travels, Arlanna turned south and returned home. She would later return to Norva and help the settlement grow.
House Pridewin

House Pridewin is one of the newer houses of Norwich, moving to the town in 380 7E. They did not create the tavern that the house now runs in Norwich, but instead bought the tavern from House Starhold. Before moving to Norwich, House Pridewin were simple fishermen in the town of Bellspring. Lambar Pridewin is the current head of House Pridewin.

Mardo Barthadus

Mardo was born in 53 2E. He was the son of Ottorin Barthadus and the father of Bellagar Barthadus.

Mardo would be ripped from his childhood at the age of 12 after the death of his father in a battle against centaurs invading his territory. Knowing that he was outmatched by the centaurs militarily, Mardo instead invited the centaurs to form a new kingdom along with Mardo and his people. After a few months of negotiations, Mardo and the centaurs formed the Kingdom of Inar in 66 2E. Mardo would be crowned as the first king of Inar and the centaurs would be placed in charge of the military. The navy, however, would remain the charge of the kings.
Karu Islands

The Karu Islands are home to the indigenous Quagmer people (or frogmen). The climate is slightly below temperate, with the southern half of the archipelago being dominated by marshes, while the northern part of the islands are filled with mountains, and small plateaus fit for farming.

Although the islands were indigenous to the Quagmer people, travelers of most other races were welcomed to the distant islands, especially the southern port city of Heru on the largest island of Tendo. Heru was the de-facto capitol of the islands, run by a dwarven governor, Gremu Onyxvir. Gremu ruled on behalf of the Quagmer people, which largely didn't care about governing the small cities.

There are few towns and cities in the Karu Islands, being largely inhabited by small farming communities in the south and large temple complexes in the north. There is only a single source of wood in the Barmoo Swamps north of Heru, and thus the largest import to the island is wood coming mostly from the occasional trader from Wesumania.

The first dwarven explorers came to the island in the late 4th era, looking for new mountains to exploit for wealth. Despite the mountains being seen as holy for the Quagmer peoples, they allowed the dwarves to mine the valuable resources under the mountains in exchange for helping them with masonry. The dwarves, agreeing eagerly, worked jointly with the Quagmer to transform the simplistic, wooden chapels to large, sprawling cathedrals and monasteries deep in the Kagoon Mountains.

The city of Heru was built up by the dwarves in their own architecture, and the Quagmer have allowed them to maintain the islands ever since, as long as they respect the privacy of the deeply religious Quagmer people in their temples to the north.
Henna

Once a city northeast of Nordby along the Sister's Gulf, Henna was an important trading city within the Kingdom of Ethatosia, but was later destroyed in 3,422 4E when the Kingdom of Ethatosia tried to proclaim their independence from Greyhold for the last time. The sacking of the city was brutal and it was said that bodies could be found floating across the Sister's Gulf for decades later. The Ethatosian people never forgot the slaughter of Henna, and although they joined Greyhold, they were never truly content with their overlords.
Nara Balladar

Daughter of Logarn Balladar and Theodora Balladar, Nara is not seen for most of the first half of book one but becomes important in the latter half. She is the sister of Alwyn Balladar.

## Quotes About

'She was quiet, innocent and above all; akin to her mother in all except for size. She had deep brown eyes and long brown hair that fell around her like a river, reminding him of her mother. She was hard to look at. In a sense, he believed that Logarn too had a hard time looking at her, often sending her away to work with the Wood Wardens or visit her aunt.' -Alex Greene
Ottorin Barthadus

Ottorin was born in 33 2E. He was the son of Taleric Barthadus and the father of Mardo Barthadus.

Ottorin would be known as "Ottoirn the Dragon's Bane" for his successful defeat of three dragons in his territory. Unlike his father, Ottorin would be highly respected from birth, and he was not blamed for the tragic fight with his father, which ended his father's life in 47 2E. Ottorin would expand his realm, conquering neighboring settlements and introducing an elite force called the "Riders of Dawn" who rode flaming horses and brandished spears of light. The horses had been fed the blood of the dragons, and thus had the power of the dragons imbued in them. The mages who helped with the creation of these riders were given positions of high power.

Ottorin would also fight against a giant incursion into his land, and would push them back into Wesumania. He worked to bring towns that were once part of Olithia back under Barthadus rule, and by 51 2E, Ottorin would control all the land between the Artoric Sea and the Ottorin River. Further expansion, however, was prevented by tribes of centaurs across the Ottorin River who invaded in 53 and 54 2E, causing massive damage to Ottorin's holdings.

In 65 2E Ottorin would die in a fight against centaurs who had invaded from the Four Leg Forest, leaving his territories to his twelve year old son Mardo.
Faldon Baerain III

Faldon Baerain III was the son of Faldon Baerain II and was the king of the Kingdom of Telmara. He was born in the year 414 7E and took the throne in the year 456 7E.

Although the current king, his son Simmon Baerain runs most of the kingdom as crown prince. Faldon's brother, Richard Baerain, has shown intrest in taking the throne from his bother.

Faldon frequently uses the help of The King's Hand to find and kill those whom he sees as dangerous.
Promania

Promania is the continents on the west side of Augoria. One of the two main continents it once was one with the other continent. Promania is called promania because it was the "Second Land" or the "New Land." It was named by the first men who came over in an attempt to colonize and add to the Olithian Empire in the 1st Era.

Giants

The giants were a race of sentient beings on Aros who lived primarily in Wesumania. When the Olithian Empire began to face internal pressures, the giants crossed Shoa's Coast and entered Promania, causing havoc and destroying many towns and cities. These giants found themselves the powerholders within northern Promania after the fall of the Olithian Empire and began setting up competing clans to govern the local areas. Eventually, the small pockets of centralization allowed for the locals to gather their strength and slowly push the giants out of their power. By 200 2E, almost all of the giants were pushed back into Wesumania, and in 222 2E King Arda led a grand host of humans to put an end to the giants.

King Arda was successful in clearing Shoa's Coast of giants and pushing them back to Bane's Bay, but Arda was too confident in his own abilities and was slain at Ardafell. Afterwards, the giants were left alone with them eventually gaining more land to the south.
Enderi Ocean

The Enderi Ocean is a large body of water that sits on the western side of Promania. It is home to many unique creatures such as the Ghost Whale. Many small islands have been found within the ocean, but no large continent has ever been found across from Promania.

## Etymology

Enderi comes from the word "end" meaning literally the End Ocean.
House Greene

House Greene was once a large, wealthy noble family under the Kingdom of Numeris. Their power slowly was drained over the years, however, by ill usage of their funds on luxurious goods. In 399 7E, already in a waning state, the family mansion north of Numeris was robbed by a group of bandits. Left with nothing, the family moved to the growing town of Norwich where they set up their residence as proud farmers. In 470 7E, Reynold Greene died leaving Alex Greene the head of the House Greene.

Alex's connection to the King of Numeris has brought back some of the houses former prestige, allowing the family to be seen as more important in the local politics of Norwich.
Coraline Aventus

Coraline Aventus came to the throne in 67 1E, at the age of 24 as the third ruler of Olithia. She ruled Olithia as Empress for 61 years, dying in 128 1E at the age of 85. The beginning of her reign was dominated by questions of legitimacy of having a female on the throne as Empress, but she proved herself to be a cunning and ruthless ruler, rapidly expanding her growing Empire and continuing the Empire's golden age.

Coraline focused her priorities to the western isles, and was even able to begin sending scouting expeditions to Promania in 70 1E. Many of these first scouting expeditions would be stopped by an Idani man named Alvaric Kythar, but by 74 1E, one of the scouting expeditions would successfully find the Idani city of Levdonia. After the discovery of the ancient city, many within Olithia would begin to envy the vast wealth and slaves that could be attained by taking the city. This fascination of Levdonia, which was probably heightened by the elves, would ultimately culminated in the Sacking of Levdonia in 224 1E.

Born in 43 1E.

Died in 128 1E at the age of 85, being replaced by her son, Marcus Aventus II.
