Korina

Korina is the capital of the Diao island chain and also the prime administrator of the so called 'barricade cities'. It is the second largest Diao majority city and is the financial and cultural capital of the Diao people, it is also the self-proclaimed spiritual capital of SKL (though this is debatable considering the city Haen Sarine claims it has the tomb of Spiirin). Korina is renowned for the magnificent Cathedral Of The Angels along with its impressive canal system and its engineering marvel which is a multilayered docking system (thanks to engineers from Outmost). Other notable buildings are the Iron Coast Trade Charter headquarters famous for elaborate design, with its ornate turrets embellished with various coats of arms, another noteworthy building is the Palace of Hymns which is the largest opera house in Panguilla outside of Saffira City, also the Imperial House of Commerce (founded by Cyroth) is an impressive, sandstone multi-levelled marketplace which is where most commerce takes place.

Politics within the city is a confusing state of affairs, politics is not confined to one building, instead it is spread out over three buildings the most important being the Song Residency, this is the Dukes official palace where decrees and resolutions are passed, the other two buildings are The Upper Noble Chambers, which houses noblemen from around the realm, and the legislative wing (often called the flophouse due to its apparent uselessness).

In modern times Korina harbours the Southern Imperial Fleet.
Kaspar Holtz

Kaspar Holtz is the current leader of the Oshary Order, officially titled 'Lord Grand Master Of The Order', most simply refer to him as Lord Holtz.

## Career

Born an Angelican, Holtz would later go on to renounce the church as a "rotting carcass of a once revered institution". Holtz is by modern standards, a pure zealot, the bickering of parliaments and diets is but temporary and fleeting, the liberation of all peoples from their corrupted state, eternal. Holtz strives to forward Leo Oshar's legacy by any means, even if those means involve a marriage of convenience with the insufferable northern nationalists.

Holtz's lack of enthusiasm for northern supremacy often frustrates many of his colleagues, including Serenos Grimm, though the two, trait wise, share little in common, they often find themselves staring at one another across a long table negotiating (much to the dismay of both). Grimm has mentioned, quite publicly, his distaste for the Oshary, "a far greater theorist than an achiever". Likewise Holtz is keen to criticise Grimm calling the man "an activist of pettiness".

### Position in the Empire

Lord Holtz is perhaps seconded only by Grimm in terms of power, Holtz is in direct command of the largest non-governmental institution in world history. The relationship with the Zeorin high command is tenuous, Oshary units are both trained and equipped privately (making them, more often than not, of higher quality than regulars) yet Oshary units are often (but not always) required to be led by Zeorin trained officers.

Financially speaking there are not many rivals to the Oshary Order, the base of their support is primarily private donations however it is alleged Zeorin gold finds its way into Oshary coffers.
Guide to Kymurian Politics

A great philosopher once said that to govern Kymuria was to keep a wild stallion in a paddock, that an experienced and wise rider could ensure the horse did not bolt, or injure those who groomed and prospered from it's presence. If a weak or foolish man tended that stallion, disaster would surely ensue.

This expression, which does not have a certain point of origin, accurately describes the attitudes taken by many towards the political systems of Kymuria. When this is taken in mind, it becomes eminently clear why no major political ideology advocated a reduction in the power of central or local executives, and why would they? It was belived, with much empirical evidence, that anarchy would lead to brutal chaos, a rule of warlords and unhampered human spirits, and indeed, if there was one principle that all statesmen could agree on from the foundation of Kymuria in 0KF up to the rule of Empress Theodora in 1035KF, it was this one.

So, as each form of Kymurian politics is described below, keep this principle in mind, or else

## King Huw, The Governate of Saffira, and the Charter

Obviously, the root of Kymurian politics, as with all things Kymurian, is King Huw, the country's founder. The earliest record of Huw exists on a census parchment that lists him as "Earl Huw of Jorchom," a noble title that gave him control of the most militarily powerful realm of what was the Saffira Governate. The Saffira Governate was a small confederation of noble realms that existed around the eponymous city of Saffira, it had no King, instead, a
MonSra Order

The Monsra Order is a small clique within the Greater Sra Region that contains the cultural city of Mon. As of the game start, Monsra is a region of the Zeor Empire, the Grand Mage has been detained and Serenos Grimm is officially its Emperor.

## Mon City

The primary buildings of the city are as follows:

* The Grand Mage Temple of Huw's Ascension.
* The Jade Library.
* The Powder House of the Mage Order.
* Cyroth Royal Drum Tower.
* Holy Cathedral of the Angel Maid.
* House of Calligraphy and Literature.
* House of the Sciences.
* House of Natural Philosophy.
* House of Theology.
* House of Applied Law.
* House of Theological Law.
* House of the History of Panguilla.
* Cruishank's Palace.
* Guild of Applies Law
* The Duke of Gunwhol's Beer Hall
* The Mother of Kymuria and her Children.
* Old Kingdom Bell Tower

## Surrounding Lands

The only notable feature of the lands around Mons, sans the small ancient relics and temples is the House of the Historian Bothissan, who compiled the now infamous "A History of Panguilla," which chronicled the history of the Kingdom of Kymuria, the Kymurian Empire and the Frenntolic Rebellion.

## Biography

Played by Farrah Forke, Alex is a helicopter pilot who moves to Nantucket to start her own helicopter tour business. She had previously flown U.S. Army Apache helicopters in Desert Storm. It is also discovered that she had posed for *Playboy*. Though she initially rebuffs the amorous attentions of both Hackett brothers, she eventually falls for Brian's boyish charms. She and Brian live together briefly, but after Brian spends a wild night in New York with Joe and an old friend, Alex throws him out of the apartment and leaves Nantucket for good. She returns a season later to resolve some of the bitterness in their breakup; she and Brian briefly get back together before they both decide it is best to go their separate ways.
The Roldorf Brigade

The Roldorf Brigade is, despite their name, a unit serving in the Kymurian military, fighting against both the Zeorin Empire and their puppet state of Roldorf. The unit is a partial remainder of the loyalist sections of the Roldorf military before Roldorf was invaded and the Grand Zebric Faction assumed control.

## Origin

The Roldorf military, even before the Zeorin invasion, was weak. Supply shortages and low morale plagued some units, while others were perfectly equipped and in high spirits; regional division was a common problem in the military, commanders operated their battalions like personal retinues, and while a small, but elite, centralised force existed, it was far too small to partake in exercises other than exclusively guarding royals. This would be proved at the battle of Daemack Run, where Roldorf's forces were decisively crushed by a far smaller Zeorin force, the rest of the war would be characterised by last stands, desertions and defections.

Most members of the military accepted defeat, and in turn their new masters, the Zebric Grand Faction, however the Roldorf Brigade did not; mainly consisting of now unlanded nobles, monarchists and the occasional 'patriotic' peasant, the Roldorf Brigade fought a fighting retreat to the border of Molburg where their pursuers (for political reasons) gave up the chase.

## Service

The Brigade was permitted to move south through Molburg and into Kymuria, where, much to their surprise they found the Prince of Roldorf still alive. With equipment and training from the Kymurians, the Roldorf Brigade swore loyalty to both Empress Theodora and the Roldorf government in exile. The Brigade now serves as a frontline volunteer unit assisting the Kymurians in the defence of their homeland and perhaps in future, the recapture of theirs.

## Biography

Played by Tony Shalhoub, Antonio is an Italian immigrant from Alecchio, who owns and operates a taxi service to and from the airport. Antonio is mild-mannered, deferential, and hopelessly romantic; he falls head-over-heels for Helen's older sister Casey when she returns to Nantucket, although his feelings are not reciprocated. Antonio was originally a waiter, and made a guest appearance in the second season in this role before becoming an official cast member in the third season (by which time he had changed professions). Helen married him in order to save him from deportation. The marriage mistakenly lasted for three years (unbeknownst to either one of them) long after Antonio got his green card due to an error on Helen's part. He is a big fan of the *Mary Pat Lee Show*.
Kon`GreSra (City State)

## As A Historical City

Kon`GreSra is among one of the oldest civilisations on Panguilla; founded soon after the collapse of king Huws Court in the pre-history period.

Due to its remote location at the end of the direct SKL island chain. (Not to be confused with Acalan, The foot Island chain to the east) many of its inhabitants were unaffected by wars across mainland Panguilla, In most cases, Kon`GreSra was a trading port in between SKL and Acalan, although they tended to remain neutral in terms of allies, forging many strong bonds with port provinces across the mainland.

## Biography

Played by Crystal Bernard, Helen is a petite blonde who speaks with a Texas drawl despite having lived on Nantucket for most of her life. In the series, it is explained that Helen's family moved to the island from Texas when she was about 10 years old. Though Helen dreams of playing the cello in a large symphony orchestra, she runs the lunch counter in the airport terminal and never really manages to get a music career off the ground until the final episode. Occasionally Helen earns money teaching children the cello.

A running gag related to her music is that bad luck always seems to follow her when she plays. Examples of this bad luck include: Helen having to join a string quartet of neurotic individuals as that was the only group at the time who would accept her; Helen getting accepted to a state-run symphony, only to learn the state legislature eliminated the funding; the Boston Symphony Orchestra appreciating a cassette of her cello playing, but them losing the label and having no way to contact her; and when she finally gets a chance to play for the BSO, the plane crashes en route.

Helen battles a compulsive eating habit that caused her to be obese in her youth. Though successful at losing the weight sometime after Brian eloped with Carol, it is still a specter in her life and a blight on her self-image. She has been a lifelong friend of both Hackett brothers and dreamed of marrying Joe from a young age. Helen married Antonio to prevent him frombeing deported. Although Antonio won Green Card Lottery and agreed to end the marriage, when Helen tried to marry Joe she realized she could be charged with bigamy due to forgetting to submit the divorce papers. At the season finale of the sixth season, Helen is finally able to marry Joe.

## Behind the scenes

The writers originally had a different character in mind, written for Peri Gilpin: Joe's love interest working at the lunch counter was a woman of Greek heritage. However Gilpin was unable to commit to the role, and thus the new character of Helen was created for Bernard. Gilpin, however, did star on one episode of *Wings* in the third season.
Battle of Cerro Torra

The battle of Cerro Torra was fought on a hill-surrounded valley of the same name, in the north-east of Zeor Province. This was the last battle in the Frenntolic Rebellion.

## Background

In the early months of 739KF, an Kymurian column under the command of Baron Martins de Menezes, learned that Frenntolic was in the vicinity of Cerro Torra. On 1 March, the Kymurian vanguard attacked the Frenntolic camp along the Aquarian River.

Present with Lord Frenntolic's personal guard were a group of women, led by his mistress Lady Orrenza. This group was composed of the soldier's wives, daughters, and others, who supported the soldiers called "The Solemn Resistance".

## Battle

Upon hearing about the oncoming attack, Frenntolic called a last war council with the remaining officers of his general staff in order to decide the course of action for the upcoming battle: whether they should escape into the hill range or stay and make a stand against the attackers. The council decided to stay and end the war once and for all by fighting to the death.

During the battle that ensued, Frenntolic was separated from the remainder of his army and was accompanied by only his aide and a couple of officers. He had been wounded with a spear in the stomach and hit with a sword in the side of his head and so was too weak to walk by himself. They led him to the Aquidabangui stream, and there they left him on the pretext of getting reinforcements. While Frenntolic was alone with his aide, General Menezes arrived along with six soldiers and approached him, calling on him to surrender and guaranteeing his life. Frenntolic refused and shouting "I die with my nation!," tried to attack Menezes with his sword. Menezes ordered him to be disarmed, but Frenntolic died during the struggle with the soldiers who were trying to disarm him. This incident marked the end of the war.
Notes on Nobility

This is a practical article that outlines the usage and rules regarding the complex systems of peerage found throughout Panguilla and its history.

## Kymuria

The standard noble title in Kymuria is Baron, as in "Eighth Baron of Westmarch" although any noble may be addressed as "Lord", which was a matter of practice in the Noble Coucil. If any man was made a noble as a point of honour but without estates to run, then he could only be adressed as lord. The same rules applied for women, but Utilising the titles of Baroness or Lady. Barons who commanded troops were called "Baron-Generals."

Although not a noble title, local men appointed to run cities and large urban areas received direct grants from the monarch to use the title "Squire."

The Rank above Baron was Viscount, which were rarely awarded and most often used to honour Barons who ran multiple estates or provided a vital service to the monarch. The female equivalent was Viscountess.

The next rank was Duke, awarded to members of the extended Royal family. The Female equivalent was Duchess.

Although "Archduke/Archduchess" was a theoretical rank, it was never used until Theodora Elegaria An-Bagranthar was made Archduchess of Kymuria before her ascension to the Imperial Throne.

As Kymuria rapidly expanded its borders during the age of expansion, some particular titles were allowed to remain. An example would be the Thanes of the River Country, who continued to rule as vassals of Kymuria until Thane Geranfarley was killed in the Frenntolic War, and the system was replaced by the Imperial Viscounts of the Rivers.

## Southern Kymuria

The system of titles used before and after the Xi Nam Imperial Era are vastly complex and difficult to codify. Generally each small rice state had a ruler referred to as a "Xzan Hai" (Literally Above-Man) and the family of the ruler of Hokasa used the honorific "Da" (Great).

The Xi Nam dynasty adopted a system of Lords and Barons, similar to that of the Kymurians.

## Zeorin Empire

As of the game start, Zeorin has no fixed system of noble titles. Men who held them during Kymurian rule of the area did not have them removed unless they were outwardly pro-Kymurian, although any who did had their title removed by Empress Theodora on charge of treason.
Rum Bush War

The Rum Bush War was a 28-year long conflict fought between Baron Wrettin's autocratic, neo-colonial Rum State and various civilian and insurgent forces allied to warlord Aya Khalakani. It was extremely bloody, characterised by long periods of simmering tension, then an uprising or skirmish that would trigger another wave of repression or reprisal killings by either side.

## Early Stages

The Rum State, established by Baron Trenton Wrettin following the disastrous War of Thirst in 812KF, faced immediate opposition from those within it, and while the city and urban areas could easily be controlled via the fearsome Drisham Corps and various Mercenary Companies, the surrounding desert and Sultanate Border regions were a perfect hiding spot for rebel and conspiratorial elements, who knew the local terrain well, and were often backed financially by wealthy Rum Elites who continued to pay lip-service to Wrettin's deteriorating regime.
Echion

Full Name: Echion

Child with an unusual mark across his forehead. Corin frees him from a cell within the Serpent Spire in his Judgment. He is engineered by Valia and Caelford to be a weapon strong enough to prevent Edrian attacks. According to Vera Corrington his engineered attunement is one of a kind and can be compared to a God-Beast in power.
Burgis-Gill Affair

The Burgis-Gill affair was an attempt by two businessmen to introduce a fraudulent roulette game into the Zeor Republic. It could be controlled with a clockwork mechanism that rigged certain numbers. It was developed by an inventor from Villaflores, Trenton Gill, and backed by wealthy businessman Nolan Burgis.

In 920KF, Rafael von Auzar was the conservative Minister of the Interior in Zeor. He was one of several prominent Liberal Alliance figures to accept bribes from Gill and Burgis in order to legalise the fixed roulette. He received a gold watch and 100,000 Dromurs. Other high-ranking officials in his Ministry also accepted them.

Still, von Auzar considered it too little, demanded more, which Burgis refused, and eventually arranged a police raid into the Grand Casino in downtown Dannenholm. To get back at him, Burgis leaked documents on the matter to President Horace de Tolley. Since they had invested a lot of money in the venture, they tried to recover it by blackmailing many government ministers, though this simply increased the spreading notoriety of the scheme.

De Tolley refused to get involved, and an opposition member denounced the affair to the press, who made it public. Gill was arrested trying to flee into the North Sea Empire, and Burgis hired a boat south towards Xiphron Bay. The scandal was instrumental in bringing down the Liberal government.

Bulwark Trust

The Bulwark Trust is the largest bank in all of Kymuria. The bank controls assests of immeasurable wealth; financially speaking there are few institutions in all of the known world which surpass the Bulwark Trust in terms of assets, capital or stored reserves.

Despite having a dubious history of questionable investments both security wise and morally wise, the Bulwark Trust is still considered the best place to invest your money, and has yet to fall short in any department, from accounting to customer service.

Coincidentally the bank's current head is none other than the renowned banker Sir Nolan Burgis, since Nolan became head of the board of directors the bank has seen a surprising increase in their profit margins.
Survival Sigil

## Description

This shield sigil remains inactive until it detects that you are significantly injured, after which it generates a barrier. This generally allows it to function as a second-line defense after all other shield sigils you are wearing are already depleted, providing emergency defense to protect you in deadly situations.
VergelCommando

The VergelCommando was the closest force the Saltire Republic had to a standing army. Unlike most units in Saltire, which usually consists of temporarily conscripted farmers in militias, the VergelCommando was in fact an employed fighting force.

The VergelCommando consisted of only 700 men. Recruits would be handpicked; should they prove their abilities on a range, in a skirmish or otherwise, they would be invited to train and pass the application process of the VergelCommando.

It was one of the highest honours in Saltire society to be in, or have a family member in, the elite unit which was the VergelCommando.

The unit specialised in mobile warfare; all commandos were marksmen and skilled horsemen. Trained in shock tactics, VergelCommando would quite often overwhelm enemy defenders and then execute their brutal reprisal with no casualties.

The VergelCommando gained quite the reputation, especially in Anjuin communities who began referring to the men of the unit as Verglings or VerminCommandos.
Six Sacred Swords

## From Andrew Rowe's Blog 11/16/19 post

If you’re not already familiar with Six Sacred Swords, this book takes place just after the War of Broken Mirrors. It also includes a frame story that takes place after On the Shoulders of Titans...

## Synopsis

It doesn’t take a legendary sword to make a legendary swordsman, but it certainly helps.

Keras Selyrian is already well on the way to cutting his name into the annals of legend. He’s fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods - and left them defeated in his wake.

But he’s a long way from home, and Kaldwyn offers a different brand of danger than he’s used to. He’s already got a sword of unfathomable power, but it’s damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he’s in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The more the better, really.

The Six Sacred Swords are Kaldwyn’s most famous artifacts, forged as the only means to defeat the god beasts. Each sword must be earned by a worthy champion, and no single person has ever managed to collect them all.

Not yet, at least. Keras is just getting started.
ZA Mountain Eagle

The ZA Mountain Eagle was a Dannenholm-class Airship built and operated by Liechtenstromm-Rohm Aviation as a subsection of the Zeorin Empire. It was the largest flying object ever to trace the skies of Panguilla, and was often referred to as the "King of the Air."

## History and Design

Contrary to popular belief, the Mountain Eagle was not the first military airship, that credit goes to the vessel known as Popular Fury, a Indostrian craft used to bomb Brabont during the Indostric war, however, it inspired Serenos Grimm, who was present during an air raid, to contract Lichtenstromm-Rohm Aviation for "A 500ft dirigible capable of lifting a Staunn-Class frigate, such as that operated by the Northern Merchant and Fishing Marine, plus several tonnes of armour and artillery. Expect payment post tests. - S.D Grimm."
The Purple Parliament

**The Purple Parliament** is the nickname given to the Common Chamber that was elected in late 1034KF, following the Restorationist Coup.

For a number of reasons, every seat but seven in the 371-seat Chamber was occupied by a Royalist Party member. This was because:

* Theodora was in theory against the pure absolutism practised by rulers like Cyroth I or Viktor II. She believed in theoretical absolutism, which necessitated a separate governing entity. She decided, against the advice of her reactionary ministers, that a parliament could be formed to ride the back of the wave of popularity her reign had begun with. To prevent it turning against her in future, she required that a third of the seats (123) be occupied by the Royalist Party.
* Furthermore, the Interior Security Office kept a permanent and dynamic list of any non-status quo or separatist party, and blocked them from the electoral roll.
* All rightist parties had confederated into the Royalist Party, thus preventing splitting.
* The only other major party permitted to stand were the New Liberals, who withdrew from the election to avoid betraying their base.
* A few hundred independents stood for election, but only seven Floresian Anglican-centric members won seats.

The Prime Minister and Lord Chancellor of the Privy Council was Lord Tancred Fitz-Fynnes.

 Independents
 New Liberal Party
Government of the Zeorin Empire

The Zeorin Empire's government is a unique system that comprises of 3 main spheres, and many other former spheres.

## Lord-General

The official head of state of the Zeorin Empire is the Lord-General. The Lord-General must be elected by the other 15 Adjutant Generals. Once unanimously decided, the candidate is then immediately sworn in and the Chair Ceremony is held. Upon taking office, the Lord General holds total power over the Zeorin Empire. They are only challengeable in matters of the Adjutant Council.

## Adjutant Council

The Adjutant Council is the Secondary government body in the Zeorin Empire. It is comprised of 16 Adjutant-Generals, each of whom are responsible for a region of the Empire.

## Chamber Parliament

The Chamber Parliament is the third government body in the Zeorin Empire. It is responsible for domestic and bureaucratic affairs. Its positions are:

* Lord Chancellor
* Lord Treasurer
* Lord Chief Justice
* Lord Admiral

Len

The spirit gateway crystal copy of Lydia Hastings from Keras Selyrian trail.

## Abilities

She's has access to all the magic Lydia Hastings had, this includes protection, dream, wind and knowledge sorcery as well as the ability to teleport.

## Relationships

She has been working with Warren Constantine.

## History

 When Kares first came to Kaldwyn, he went through one of the shrines in the Unclaimed Lands. In that Shrine, he faced several challenges. One of them involving fighting a copy of Lydia. Keras not only defeat her, but kept the copy alive - apparently indefinitely. First mention of Lydia in the Arcane Ascension series, references this Lydia (as described in SIx Sacred Swords), now called Len to distinguish between herself and the original.
Aayara Haven

Known as "The lady of thieves", also goes by "Symphony". She is one of the Vae'kes and the patron deity of thieves on the continent of Mythralis. She one of the eldest of the vae’kes, who are believed to be the children of Vaelien.

Like all vae’kes, she possesses the ability to permanently steal sorcerous power with a touch. As a tremendously ancient being, she is one of the deadliest known entities on the continent. Even gods fear her. Aayara’s followers use “ess” names (meaning they start with the letter “s”) as code names, such as Silk (Velas) and Scribe (Jonan). Characters that use “ess” names are collectively called “esses”.

According to legend she is said to have wielded a dagger named Symphony Last Embrace. She also used Lucks Touch.
Illusionist

Presumably one of the Attunements in Serpent Division at Lorian Heights. This division specialises in reconnaissance and is supervised by Professor Orden.

Illusionists are a type of attuned from Dalenos, with similar abilities to Valian Shadows. They are capeable of making more sophisticated effects, however, and are better able to conceal large areas of terrain.

Known Illusionists:
Architect

**Achitects** can imbue objects with temporary enchantments. Temporary enchantments from Architects tend to be more powerful than Enchanter enchantments, but have the downside of dissipating in days. The architect attunement has a primary mana type of perception mana and a secondary of shadow mana, which can be combined to make dream mana. At citrine, it grants access to enhancement mana.

The Architect attunement is most commonly found in the Tiger Spire in Caelford.

## Attunement Features

*Features that are a result of specific attunement functions, rather than the types of mana available to the attuned.*

### Temporary Enchantment

Architects can imbue objects with temporary magical effects. These effects are typically stronger than permanent enchantments, made by an enchanter, but only last a few days
Arkhen

Arkhen was a friend of Keras’ when he was training to join an organization called the Thornguard. When they were in a dire situation, Keras used the Sae’kes to save them...and cut off Arkhen’s arm in the process. For that reason, he’s been hesitant to use the Sae’kes in battle ever since.

## Abilities

He trained in alchemy, specailised in poisons.
Elementals

During a conversation between Researcher and Corin. Research indicates that she is a Fragment. She expands on classifications in the book On the Shoulder of Titans Chapter XIV - These Tests are Never Fair. Research says, "A specific classification of elemental. Stronger than a Figment, weaker than a Gatherer or a Harvester. We embody specific principles of our element."

In Andrew Rowe's series, The War of the Broken Mirrors Harvester's are described as creatures native to another plane, a dominion plane. Typically tied to a dominion. For example, the Wandering War is a Harvester from the Dominion of War.

The Wandering War called Keras cousin and in turn, Keras calls one of Derek's bound monsters, Tevare, cousin. This may imply that Keras is a form of an elemental or another entity from a dominion plane.

Elementals are born with an intrinsic connection and talent with their dominion. This does include spell theory or non-instinctive uses of the dominion. The theory to do more than just the stock spells requires exploration and/or training.
Grandmother Iron

Grandmother Iron is a martial arts teacher and former tournament finalist.

## Relationships

Taer'vys Ironthorn is her son, she left him in Mythralis when she returned to Kaldwyn.

## History

She entered the Tournament of the Sacred Sword and managed to reach the finals. The emperor attempted to convinced her to throw the match, after she refused they sent assassins after her resulting in her loosing an eye, a hand and several friends. Afterwards she fled going as far as Mythralis, whilst she was away the emperor fought a body double in her place.

Later she tried to re-enter but due to her injuries failed win, instead she opened the training gym and focused her efforts teaching other martial artists in the hope that they could do what she couldn’t.
Conjurer

The Conjurer is able to create entities with “false life”. These are functionally similar to summons, but seemingly based entirely on the knowledge and imagination of the Conjurer, rather than contracts. There are apparently ways to make more convincing conjurations with examples from a real creature, but I don’t know much about it yet.
Dania

Dania is the continent in which the book Edge of the Woods is set.

## Magic

It's primary magic system is Essence Sorcery which involves gather a particular type of essense into a Dianis Point.

## Notable locations

Executioner

The Executioner attunement is one of the Attunements of Edria.

This attunement is highly specialized for direct combat. Executioners have the unique ability of making a blade from their shroud. In truth, this is not a unique technique of the executioner as seen by Marissa Callahan and Corin Cadence performing a similar technique, albeit with much more training required.

The primary mana type of Executioners is Death. Using this mana makes an injury very difficult to heal from. The Executioner's secondary mana type is Enhancement. It is typically used to improve physical characteristics or stabilize other spells. The tertiary mana type of Executioners is Earth mana. This mana can be used to shape physical objects.

The Executioner attunement is a shroud-based attunement designed for all-out offensive combat. Executioners are known for their combat abilities in general, but especially the offensive abilities, such shaping their shroud into a blade. The Executioner attunement grants the attuned access to death mana and enhancement mana, along with their combination: ruin mana. At citrine, it grants access to earth mana. The executioner attunement is most commonly found in the Hydra Spire in Edria.

## Attunement Features

*Features that are a result of specific attunement functions, rather than the types of mana available to the attuned.*

### Shroud Blades

The executioner attunement allows the attuned to shape their shroud into a blade shape much more easily than most other attuned, and to charge that blade with mana, typically enhancement. While this technique can be learned by all attuned, most cannot learn it until reaching sunstone. Because of this, this technique is sometimes called an *Executioner's Blade*

## Known Executioners

* Jerome Schmidt
* Hannah Meiyer
Stealing Sorcery

## Synopsis

The immortal sorcerers – three legendary figures that toppled the empire of Xixis. Each has lived for over a hundred years, leaving a powerful legacy in their wake.

But their children do not share their renowned immortality – and when the firstborn son of Edrick Theas is killed, the sorceress Lydia Hastings is called to investigate the murder. When she discovers a sorcerous trail left by a creature of unfathomable power, she quickly realizes she needs outside help. And while Jonan Kestrian – a spy for a rival military power – might not be Lydia’s first choice for an ally, she knows that he has the knowledge and skills that she needs.

While Lydia and Jonan trace the assassin’s trail, Taelien undergoes the Trials of Unyielding Steel, a series of tests to ensure his entry into the Paladins of Tae’os. As he trains for his trials, Taelien faces his fiercest rival yet – Velas Jaldin, a former member of Orlyn’s Queensguard with the power to manipulate motion at her whim. With skills far beyond those of an ordinary soldier, the former Queensguard might be the killer that Lydia seeks – or the assassin’s next victim.
Diamantine (sword)

One the the six sacred swords, Sacred Sword of Stone. Formerly wielded by the Edrian Royal family.

The Edrian royal family had somehow managed to temporarily split the crystal sword into four (known) pieces. Two of which appeared to be identical, full sized versions of the sword, wielded by the crown princess, and the emperor of Edria. The next piece was a small crystal buried within the hand of the royal executioner, and the last was a piece buried into the hand of another trusted knight. This last piece later developed (or possibly rediscovered) it’s own consciousness while separated from the rest of the sword. The knight then released this crystal from his body, allowing the stone to take on its own identity as the green guardian, using its magic to create an extremely convincing body of hollow crystal armor.

after a significant battle, the green guardian was reunited with all the pieces of Diamantine, despite the objections of the crown princess who wanted the sword returned to the royal family, regardless its sentience.

It is unknown as of yet, if the green guardian will become a separate entity from diamantine or fully recombine with the sword. It is likely safe to assume the green guardian could fully absorb its other pieces, but so far he has been referred too as his own being.
Emery Verena

Emery Verena is a spire monster and daughter of Archduke Verena.

## Personality

She's sickly and unhealthy. She appears to have all the memories of the original Emery plus memories from each time the scenario was run over the last twenty years.

## Relationships

She and Marissa are currently dating.

Sera decided to make her a retainer in order to give her the same legal rights as a normal citizens.

She has a non identical twin name Emma Verena, the two of them are a cursed pair.

## History

She was part of a scenario floor on the fourth level of the Tiger Spire. During the test her and Marissa fell in love whilst the gang attempted to save her from assassins.

After the test Sera True Summoned her so that she could escape the spire.

After escaping the tower she enrolled in Lorian Heights staying in the student dorms.

Sera spoke to Corin Cadence about making Emery and Marissa Callahan retainers of the house so they'll be on equal footing and to give some form of legitimacy to Emery a spire monster. As of the end of AA4 it is unclear if that offer has been extended to Marissa and Emery.
Edge of the Woods

## Summary

A young man lives among the trees of a primeval forest, raised by a wizened old sage and friend to the faeries and spirits of his home. He bears only half a name—Lien, an ancient word meaning “blade” or “edge”—and no knowledge of his heritage. As he grows, so too does his need for independence and answers. Thus, he begins his adventure, seeking a shattered sword and the truth behind the mysterious mark on his right hand.

To earn his freedom from his adoptive grandfather, Lien will seek to complete the trials of Anathema, a long-hidden weapon of devastating power. To succeed, he must master his own burgeoning power, learning swordplay and magic from fractured figments of ancient legends. Though his training will push him to the brink, failure comes at an even greater cost. For only with his talents fully forged will Lien stand a chance against his true foe: destiny itself.
Landen

Landen is apparently one of Keras’ friends from back in his homeland. He’s a swordsman with an unusual two sword style, which seems like it would have been a good thing for Keras to learn, since he was lugging around two swords for most of the story and only using one at a time.

## Relationships

He is Velas’ closest friend and companion, as well as a cousin of Nakane Theas, the current heir to House Theas.
Hierophant

Hierophant is the best know restricted attunement. The Hierophant attunement is generally only bestowed upon the current leader of the priesthood for each of the visages.

Hierophants are known for their ability to effortlessly extend their shroud over a large area, while imbuing it with a spell effect. This is generally referred to as an imbued shroud. For example, a Hierophant could imbue their shroud with healing magic, passively healing everyone in their proximity.

Heirophants tertiary mana type is most likely light because of Haruka Saito's light abilities.
Phoenix Sigil

## Copper Phoenix Sigil

It was a simple enough design made by Corin. The back has a few runes etched into it and on the front was the symbol of the phoenix. It was about the same size as the Lorian Heights Academy issued shield sigils. The major enhancement to the design was that they had a higher capacity and they were self-recharging, taking about 1 hour to completely recharge.

## Silver Phoenix Sigil

The next iteration in Corin's design. He further upgraded the shield giving twice the capacity of the copper phoenix sigils and four times that of the Lorian Heights Academy issue shield sigils. He added a higher tier version of the self-recharging rune to maintain the recharge time of 1 hour. The most significant upgrade was a regeneration enchantment.

## Improved Silver Phoenix Sigil

The newest versions of Corin's Phoenix sigils have all the previous functions but with mana regeneration and short range teleport functions. These sigils allow the user to teleport to the corresponding anchor. They have more than 4 times the capacity of the school issued sigils.
En-Vamir

## Wrynn Jaden Notes

> En-Vamir, known for the overly-fancy title “The Hammer that Broke the Spine of the World”, once belonged to Koranir, the God of Strength. Its powers involve being able to crush things it comes in contact with. Most people believe this is simply some kind of direct application of force — meaning the dominion of motion — but my experience tells me it’s more akin to gravity. I think the dominion of tides might be involved. Sadly, I haven’t had a chance to get my hands on it yet, but maybe if I make a few trades...

Reika formed a friendship with Keras Selyrian after she fought him during the trial to acquire Dawnbringer.

She formed a bond with Frienemy much like a contract that a summoner enters into with a monster.

She was interested in Shun but was deeply disappointed after meeting him. Her opinion about him improved after he assisted her in completing a tournament test and she started spending time with him. The two of them took out the Tails of Orochi together that were participating in the tournament.

Delaren

The Delaren were a species of humanoids that were supposedly created in the earliest days of the world, much like the Esharen. After a war between their two races brought the Delaren to the brink of extinction, the Delaren went into hiding.

Delaren were well-known for being born with the ability to reconstruct their bodies. According to legend, Delaren were born with a humanoid appearance and could only grow larger over time – once they had added something to their bodies, they couldn’t get rid of it. Amir Orin, a legendary Delaren king, was often described as having a layer of bony armor and tremendous wings.

The transformation abilities of the Delaren were supposedly fueled by dominion essence contained in their crystalline hair. This essence was reportedly essential to the Delaren’s survival, making a Delaren’s hair a major point of vulnerability.

It was also one of the most stable sources of dominion essence, since it naturally grew into a crystalline state, and each hair-like strand contained a mixture of essence of several different dominions. That made it an extraordinarily valuable commodity to sorcerers – valuable enough that the Xixian Empire had captured and bred Delaren slaves for centuries, purely to harvest their hair.

Aside from transforming their bodies, Delaren could supposedly use their hair to enhance their physical or sorcerous abilities – but at the cost of years of their lifespan.
Kymuria

Kymuria is the name given to the nation that existed from the start of the modern period in 0KF until the present day on the Panguillan mainland. It has by far the most consistent timeline in contrast to other nations, despite its many forms.

Kymuria is often the focal point of Panguillan history due to the fact that almost all events can be traced, directly or otherwise, to it.

## The Kingdom of Kymuria

The Kingdom of Kymuria was the first iteration of the Kymurian nation. Its foundation is a much debated, as many historians state that King Huw was the idealist and noble who wrote the laws and charter, and therefore, the founder. (As written by Boethius) However, some credit King Offaklye, the first offical monarch,

as the founder.
Analyst

The Analyst attunement is designed for figuring out the mechanics of how spells, items, and traps work. Analysts are well suited for enhancing their senses and digging expanding existing knowledge. It has a primary mana type of mental mana and a secondary of shadow mana, which can be combined to make secrets mana. At Citrine, it grants access to transference mana.

Caelish analysts are often compared to Valian diviners and Dalen seers, which are all related to information gathering. Analysts focus on processing data, and investigating secrets, while diviners are more focused on the gathering and preserving of raw information, often by creating memory crystals, and seers focus on gathering more temporary information via scrying.

The Analyst attunement is most commonly found in the Tiger Spire in Caelford.

It is one of the attunements in Serpent Division at Lorian Heights. This division specializes in reconnaissance and is supervised by Professor Orden.

## Attunement Features

*Features that are a result of specific attunement functions, rather than the types of mana available to the attuned.*

### Altitude Detection

Analysts can detect their current altitude without consulting equipment.

### Secret Passage/item detection

While technically a function of Secrets mana, the analyst attunement grants the ability to detect hidden passages and items, typically through noticing small details, such as a low-density or thin wall.

### Advanced Magical Item Analysis

The Analyst attunement grants the ability to perform advanced analysis of magical items. For example, it allows the attuned to detect whether an enchanted key will work in a lock
Aendaryn

Aendaryn is the God of Blades for the Tae'os pantheon.

The Tae’os pantheon had been at war with Valien and his children. Ultimately the Tae’os Pantheon lost and in the end Valien cut off Aendaryn’s arm.

Without his arm Aendaryn could no longer wield the Dominion Breaker. He then gave the sword and a baby to Eratar who took this child to a couple on Mythralis to raise the baby. That child grew up to be Keras.

Whether Keras is Aendaryn’s child is unknown. Current speculation from Erik Tarren and even Keras himself is that he is a sword elemental and is part of the Dominion Breaker. Dawn alludes that bother Keras and the Dominion Breaker are two halves of a whole.
