Earnest Fenderson

**Ernest Fenderson** is a half-elf bard/artificer who is known for inventing the first arcane distortion lyre.

## Early life

Earnest “Earnie” Fenderson was born on the 10th of the Eighth Block in 1538AE to Magnolia and Leonidas Fenderson, owners of a successful live music club in lower Ragehammer. As a child, Earnie played his lyre at his parents’ venue and discovered that he had the ability to produce arcane powers through his music.

Fenderson attended the University of Arcane Engineering as a young adult, double majoring in Postmodern Bard studies and Arcane Instrument Manufacturing. Upon graduating, Fenderson attempted to find success as a solo bard act, but his rather avant-garde tastes in music composition proved unpopular to the general masses.

## Development of the Distortion Lyre

After realizing that he was not going to make any money as an unpopular bard, Fenderson turned to his second trade, instrument manufacturing, to pay the bills. Fenderson opened his instrument manufacturing and repairs store, The Fenderson Sound, in Urayah in 1662AE. He soon developed an interest in incorporating arcane powers into the instruments themselves, so that they’d be of better assistance to the bard. After close to 100 years of research on this subject, Fenderson finally developed the first arcane distortion lyre in 1767AE.

Although the strange but powerful distorted sounds of the arcane lyre was initially met with skepticism and even disgust by the general public, many forward-thinking bards adopted the arcane distortion lyre into their repertoire, taking advantage of its amplified sounds for better power. The arcane distortion lyre was instrumental in shaping the punk scene in New Cresdale, after which the arcane lyre exploded in popularity even to the general public. Within 15 years of the introduction of the arcane distortion lyre, Fenderson became the first bard billionaire, with a net worth of 1 billion platinum.

## Development of the Distortion Bass

With the success of the arcane lyre, Fenderson set out to also improve the double bass, namely, make it smaller, easier to play, and arcane-powered. The arcane distortion bass was released to the market in 1787AE, but did not receive the same amount of popularity as the arcane distortion lyre did. Fenderson Sounds stakeholders urged Fenderson to focus on developing different types of arcane distortion lyres rather than they expanding to other instruments after the failure of the distortion bass. Although Fenderson Sounds still manufactures and sells distortion basses, they sell it in much less quantity than their lyres.

## Later Life

After stepping down from the President of Fenderson Sounds and assuming a ceremonial executive council member position, Fenderson spent his later years playing music in the various venues of Urayah with his friends and family.

During the Great Eruption in 1821AE, the aged Fenderson was rescued by the gnome cleric Orybar Strixhaven, who was a member of the Marvelous Five during that time. As  a token of gratitude for saving his life, Fenderson financed and sponsored Strixhaven’s university, which opened as Strixhaven University in 1822AE.
Entropy

The divine manifestation of Entropy, popularly shortened to Entropy, is the Greater god overseeing the domain of Entropy, or organized randomness. They are considered to be the second in charge behind Order in the Greater Pantheon, and is the sole creator of the Chaos Platform. Despite being the creator of mortals, Entropy has little to no interest in their well-being, preferring instead to spectate their misfortunes and suffering. Very rarely would Entropy interfere directly on the affairs of the Chaos Platform- the most notable of these is the Transfiguration of Preyor where Entropy possessed one of their high priests to put an end to the Vecktimest Civil War.

Entropy is portrayed as having a humanoid torso with no lower body, and with eight long, bony arms sticking out on their sides. They have long silvery hair that cover their entire face, save for the two giant pointy ears sticking out.
The Lesser Pantheon

The Lesser Pantheon consists of the Lesser Gods, divine beings who were once mortals in the distant past and ascended to divinity by virtue of their mastery of their designated domain. The Lesser Gods officially reside in a lesser celestial plane primarily surrounded by a shimmering gold forest, but many of them also spend their time at the Rholds Island, located northeast of the main continent.

When a mortal believes that they have mastery over a certain domain to challenge said god of that domain, they can choose to travel to the Rholds to challenge the god to a battle there. If the mortal fails to overthrow the god in a duel of their agreed choosing, the mortal will be instantly vanquished into nonexistence. If the mortal succeeds in overthrowing the god in the duel, the former god will fade into nonexistence and the triumphant mortal will become the new god of that domain.

Lil'Baxter

Lil'Baxter was blonde horse with strawberry blonde mane, with a face and a cute little whinny that no one could resist. Formerly a performing member of the Big Shots Circus, Lil'Baxter enjoyed success as a painter later in his life.

Born into Big Shots Circus in Alluzar, Lil'Baxter entertained the guests by balancing on a giant inflatable ball and juggling a bunch of carrots. However, Lil'Baxter had a seemingly impossible dream - to become a landscape painter. Having no way to communicate this with the circus master, however, Lil'Baxter continued receiving praise and popularity for his cute little antics in the circus.

On the 30th of the 12th Block in 120AE, one of the sharpshooting circus acts accidentally shot an arrow through an employee's chest instead of the apple on top of their head. As the employee was lying on a pool of their own blood, slowly dying, Lil'Baxter saw his opportunity and seized it, dipping his tail into the pool of blood and painting a beautiful painting of a deep red mountain range on the circus floor. Immediately, the dying employee was forgotten as everyone gathered to marvel at the horse's amazing bloody painting.

Since then, Lil'Baxter finally got his wish to become a landscape painter, but with the added twist of specializing in paintings painted in blood. He was gifted his own studio, which was named Lil'Crimson Studios, and had a group of devoted fans who enthusiastically volunteer their blood for Lil'Baxter's paintings.

Lil'Baxter passed in 239AE due to natural causes, surrounded by his loving fans. His protege, Lil'Bastian, took over the Lil'Crimson Studios in 241AE, which he ran until his passing in 320AE. Lil'Baxter's grandson and Lil'Bastian's protege, Lil'Bub, took over the Studios in 321AE.

The Select

The Select is a ten-seat ruling council of the city of Edinthorpe, composed of elite scholars, politicians, and thinkers that the residents deemed the "wisest" of them all. As Edinthorpe is one of the Unyielding Six and thus had a large number of immigrants from all over the continent during the Tarrasque Terror, The Select has always been composed of a variety of races and ages from all walks of life.

Each seat in The Select has lifetime tenure, meaning that they remain as a member of the Council until they resign, retire, die, or are removed from office. When a vacancy occurs, most likely due to a death, the remaining council go through a long and deliberate process to find the new member. A potential new member of The Select must go through rigorous interviews and exams to determine if they are "wise enough," and their friends and family members may be questioned as well. When a potential candidate is officially indicted as a new member of The Select, they are removed from their home, family and friends, never to see them again, and sent to the giant tall tower called the Opticon where the rest of The Select reside.

Within the Opticon, the members of The Select watch over the residents of Edinthorpe and have long debates about what types of laws and regulations would be best for them. Most of the resulting laws have been a net positive for the residents- at best they single-handedly resolve a complex social issue, at worst they seem too enthusiastic about enforced standardized education.

The Edinthorpe residents mostly view The Select in a positive light, holding the members up in respect. But there is a growing number of ambivalence and dissatisfaction within the lower classes, with the belief that The Select are way too high up in their thrones to see or recognize the struggles of the common people.
The Block Calendar

The Block Calendar, proposed by Garnus Dolbrir in 90AE, was the first calendar invented and widely utilized by Esterrans. After the first reforms by Lain Cresdale on 101AE, the official name of the calendar became The Reformed Block Calendar of Esterra, although it is still popularly referred to as the Block Calendar.

When Garnus Dolbrir, dwarf horticulturist and mathematician, invented the Block Calendar, its primary customers were farmers looking to determine when would be the best time to plant and harvest their crops. Due to the Block Calendar's simple design and accurate agricultural predictions, most residents of the Golden Harvest Region and Edinthorpe County had adapted the calendar into their everyday life by 94AE. At this point, Garnus had a sizable and respected printing company in the Golden Harvest Region, and Garnus wanted to make sure that his calendar would hang on the walls of every Esterran before his death.

On the 29th day of the First Block in 95AE, Garnus visited Admiroff City and met with the mayor Olaf Admiroff, where Garnus suggested that some sort of enforced national holiday be created on the Block Calendar in Admiroff's honor. Admiroff, who had grown vain and lazy surrounded by yes-men, loved the idea of a holiday dedicated to him, and decreed the 30th of the Second Block, his birthday, Olaf Admiroff Day. All residents in New Cresdale were initially provided free Block Calendars for the first year, but from year 96AE and forward, all residents of New Cresdale were required to purchase a Block Calendar and celebrate Olaf Admiroff Day.

The New Cresdale residents initially did not object to Olaf Admiroff Day, because Admiroff himself made sure that there were tons of entertainment, food, and parties all throughout the entire city during the celebration. However, as the general sentiment toward Olaf grew more sour, many residents began to resent the fact that they were required to celebrate Admiroff Day. This resentment grew even more when Garnus, having become one of Olaf's "top advisors", sneakily inserted his own birthday, the 29th of the Second Block, as its own holiday in the 97AE Block Calendar.

During Cresdale's Revolution, Garnus was quick to abandon Olaf and tried to escape Admiroff City, but was quickly captured and killed by a mob of angry farmers. After Admiroff City was reestablished as New Cresdale, there was considerable debate as to whether the Block Calendar should continue to be used as the national calendar standard. Eventually, the New Cresdale officials decided to continue using the Block Calendar, but only after wiping out the two "forced holidays" on the 29th and 30th of the Second Block. Thus, the Second Block was set to end on the 28th, and after drawing lots to see which Blocks would get the extra days, the Third and Seventh Block were chosen to end on the 31st.

First Block - 30 days

Second Block - 28 days

Third Block - 31 days

Fourth Block - 30 days

Fifth Block - 30 days

Sixth Block - 30 days

Seventh Block - 31 days

Eighth Block - 30 days

Ninth Block - 30 Days

Tenth Block - 30 Days

Eleventh Block - 30 Days

Twelfth Block - 30 Days
Blue Death Cliffs

The Blue Death Cliffs are 3 steep mountains, known for being full of jagged and steep cliffs that even the most expert of all mountaineers would avoid, if not the circumstances for the Cliffs' attractiveness.

Only on these dangerous cliff walls grow a rare and delicate flower called the Blue Death that produces an extremely beautiful high-chroma pigment called Cliffwall Blue that is highly sought after luxury pigment.

The flower has earned its name of the Blue Death by causing countless deaths of mortals trying to climb the cliff walls to pick their valuable petals.
Cookietown

Cookietown is a small town located about 65 miles west of New Cresdale near the very ends of the Maratou Bay. Once a private and reserved town, the townsfolks' biggest concern before the First Rampage of Decay was their annual Cookie Pie Contest, where all of the townsfolk would make pies with cookie dough acting as the crust and compete to see whose cookie pie tasted and looked the best. However, the town was put into national consciousness when it became hit with Keenan Ghonk and her zombie army's rampage during the Necrotic March on the 4th of the Sixth Block in 177AE. After Keenan's retreat and the end of the First Rampage of Decay, the townsfolk of Cookietown decided to embrace the attention they received from being the "zombie-infested town" and turned their tourism toward a more spooky direction. They decided to celebrate the 4th of the Sixth Block annually as the "Death's Pass Day", where they would all dress up as zombies and throw small stones at a stuffed effigy of the necromancer until it breaks and releases the candies and cookies inside. Many tourists visit Cookietown during this day, not only for the genuinely exciting celebrations, but also for the final dinner called the "Sweet Release of Death Dinner" where every resident and visitor is invited to participate in a huge dinner with lots of desserts.
Keenandale

**Keenandale** is a small unincorporated community in the western region of the Maratou Bay. Formerly known as **Ritterton** after the libertarian activist Mark Ritterton, the community elected to rename the town to Keenandale after the First Rampage of Decay.

Ritterton was founded by Mark Ritterton around 133AE, after he was kicked out of Vecktimest for being almost killing Avery Portner in a drunken street brawl. Before the arrival of Keenan Ghonk during the First Rampage of Decay, Ritterton mostly consisted of Ritterton and his immediate family, plus a few other families that left Vecktimest for various reasons. When the necromancer passed through the community with her army of the undead, instead of feeling fear, Ritterton became fascinated with the concept of necromancy. He convinced his community to dedicate their efforts into learning about the dark secrets of necromancy, and naturally grew a worship-like obsession toward the first necromancer. The town was unanimously voted to be renamed to Keenandale in 206AE.

After the Second Rampage of Decay in 216AE, the residents of Keenandale were accused of helping the necromancer attack New Cresdale in exchange for her teaching them the dark art. Although the residents were never explicitly punished due to lack of evidence, it became obvious that the residents did indeed help Keenan Ghonk because Keenandale became filled with zombie servants about five years after the Second Rampage of Decay. By then, however, the residents of Keenandale used their zombie servants to build a giant amusement park, with the "rides" also being powered by the undead. This amusement park, named, "Zombieland", was a massive hit, especially to the residents of New Cresdale who all forgot that zombies tried to destroy their entire city just five years earlier. Zombieland has been a financial goldmine for the residents at Keenandale, for the zombie servants do not need to be paid to fully run the entire amusement park, but interestingly, they have not expanded or gentrified their town in any way since the opening of Zombieland.
Hollow Rock Valley

Hollow Rock Valley is a protected reserve in the Thousand Eyes Mountain Region, 15 miles south of Ragehammer.

All over the eight miles of walking trails are hollow porous rocks. When the winds blow through the valley and through these porous rocks, the rocks emit a haunting, mournful tune.

Once a year, when the winds are just right, the rocks emit a rare and wondrous tune that is considered sacred to the dwarves of Bloodhammer.

Meteorologist dwarves carefullys study the wind conditions and forecasts daily to predict when the Holy Rock Hymn will occur.

The date generally agreed by the meteorologists to be the predicted Holy Rock Hymn Day is am important holiday for most of the Thousand Eyes Mountain Region. Many residents gather in the valley for games, celebrations, and ceremonies as they wait to join the rocks in the holy song.
Gods in the Chaos Platform

The Gods of the Chaos Platform can be largely divided into two categories: the Greater Pantheon and the Lesser Pantheon.

## The Greater Pantheon

* Order
* Entropy
* Time
* Space
* Identity
* Arcana
* Knowledge
* Power

## The Lesser Pantheon

### Notable Lesser Pantheon Gods

* Gretchen Skyshaker, Lesser God of the Mountains
* Malisha Rossur
* Lauglath Lonelogger Valu-Nutha
* Brittany Shears, Lesser God of Popular Music and Bards
* Darrian Derwin, first Lesser God of Commerce, Trade, and Wealth
* Janus Platisson, Lesser God of Visual Arts
* Tordora Mellahr, Lesser God of the Weather
Arcana

The divine manifestation of the Arcane Powers, popularly shortened to Arcana, is the Greater god overseeing the seven original schools of magic- Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, and Transmutation. They are portrayed as a huge orc with seven heads, each representing one school of magic. When Arcana speaks, only one mouth moves, while the rest of the mouths continue mouthing sacred spells and secrets of magic.

While Arcana had nothing to do with the creation of the Chaos Platform, Arcana began taking an interest on the mortals after discovering that they were able to experience, manipulate, and even create arcane forces. They begin appearing in the dreams of individual spellcasters and arcane scholars, teaching them secrets of the arcane that no mortal would have ever understood on their own. Eventually, Arcana began to take an interest in one particular mortal, a young dwarf named Siddmark Brickfeet, who displayed a prodigal understanding of the arcane forces and was deemed a master of spellcasting at age 16. Arcana originally intended to make Siddmark their champion, but on the 5th of the Sixth Block in 177AE, Siddmark was killed during the first Rampage of Decay, after the necromancer Keenan Ghonk hit him with a terrible burst of necrotic energy. Since Siddmark's death, Arcana has not interacted with any mortal in the Chaos Platform.
Valenoff

Valenoff, also known as the City of Excellence, is a metropolitan city located on the east side of the Elemental Bay.

Although Valenoff was initially greeted with suspicion by its neighbors due to its tiefling ruler, its willingness to accept refugees and raise its defenses against the Torrid Terror has largely eliminated any negative sentiments toward Valenoff.

Valenoff's founder, ancient tiefling monk Kosthor Rink, built Valenoff based on his personal philosophy that everyone would be happier in the long run if they were all excellent to one another. Historians are still in disagreement about whether Kosthor was actually a tiefling, and it is one of the great mysteries in Esterra as to how Kosthor managed to settle in Esterra before the Demon Invasion if he actually was a tiefling. Regardless, Kosthor's compassion, empathy, and charismatic leadership skills quickly won Kosthor the respect of the residents, who never questioned Kosthor's origins.

Valenoff was founded almost immediately after the end of the Elemental Wars, and was built on the site of a former fire tribe settlement. Originally intended to be a temporary shelter for victims of the war, Valenoff eventually grew into a full-fledged city due to the residents' reverence and respect for Kosthor leading to an unwillingness to leave.

Despite most of the current residents being former victims of the Elemental Wars, Valenoff has embraced its past involvement in the wars and welcomed using the Elementals as a sort of mascot for Valenoff.
Fey Fyre Cocktail

A **Fey Fyre** is a spicy-sweet, mango flavored cocktail. The name of the drink refer to the drink’s spiciness which come from the fey’s spit that is used as a main ingredient. Due to the rareness of fey spit, one can only obtain a Fey Fyre in one of the many fey-owned taverns near the Feywild portal in Anaghoro county. One of the biggest fey-owned taverns in the main city of Anaghoro, the Pixie Stix Tavern, claimss this drink was invented in 1578AE by its founder fey, Williwinks. The drink gained notoriety when it was determined to have unpredictable arcane powers, with effects ranging from temporary spell casting powers to the drinker exploding into confetti.

A typical Fey Fyre cocktail consists of equal parts vodka, mango juice, and coconut liquor shaken with ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass. The fey bartender then spits into the glass and stirs until the faint orange color turns a vibrant orange-red. Many taverns have their own variation on the cocktail, with the most popular variation being the “Insurance Variant” where the fey bartender casts a spell on the cocktail to prevent explosions and other negative effects on the drinker.
Jonurian Point

Jonurian Point is a large suburban city located on the southern region of the Krahtou Bay. Initially established as a military settlement, Jonurian Point eventually grew in size and wealth due to the success of the Shagol Military Academy and the various weapons forging businesses centered around the academy. The influx of wealth led to a split into two distinctly different Jonurian Points- one as a luxurious upper class suburban neighborhood, and the other as a strict and hardened military environment. The upper class eastern side of Jonurian Point is mostly occupied by the descendants of decorated war heroes or those who invested in a weapons forging business before their national success. The militaristic western side is centered around the Shagol Academy and its wide array of combat training resources. At the center dividing these two regions is the Trading Point, where the weapons forging stores and other merchants are located.
Brittany Shears

**Brittany Shears** was a female human bard who is considered to be the most popular single solo bard act in the history of Esterra. Not only was she a talented singer and dancer, but her beauty during her performances were enough to make everyone stop everything they were doing to watch her perform. Her popularity among the fey population was the main reason for the Great Fey Migration of 1507AE, when a great number of fey including the prince of the Summer Court moved to Esterra to be with Brittany.

in 1523AE, Brittany ascended into the Celestial Planes and became **Brittany, lesser god of Popular Music and Bards.**

## Biography

Brittany Lystra Shears was born in the region currently known as Valenoff on the 4th day of the 12th Block in 1473AE. Orphaned at a young age with no siblings, Brittany turned to busking initially for survival, but eventually realized that she was the happiest when she was singing and dancing. Her confidence and passion displayed in her busking sessions eventually caught the attention of Richard Roobin, owner of the Urayah Timeless Amphitheater, who arranged for a one year residency at the Amphitheater for Brittany.

Brittany’s concerts during her Urayah residency quickly reached legendary status, with her paintings, sculptures, figurines, and sheet music rapidly consumed by her rabid fan base. One of these dedicated Brittany fans was the Anaghoro minotaur Sekai Hiroshi, who eventually introduced the fey of the Feywild to Brittany during his stay there.

After the Great Fey Migration, former prince of the Summer Court Tamerus asked for Brittany’s hand in marriage, only to hear from her that she was not interested in romantic relationships at all. Despite his inevitable disappointment, Tamerus remained great friends with Brittany and even became her financial manager until he was run over by a drunk centaur in 1516AE.

After finishing her 10,000th show at the Urayah Timeless Amphitheater for her 50th birthday in 1523AE, Brittany ascended, bathed in a heavenly light, to become a part of the Lesser Pantheon as the God of Popular Music and the patron saint for bards. She is considered to be the most sympathetic and helpful out of all of the Gods in the Greater and Lesser Pantheon.
Space

The **Grand Deity of Boundless Space**, popularly shortened to **Space**, is a Greater God in the Greater Pantheon who is the divine manifestation of boundless multi-dimensional space. Unlike the other gods of the Greater Pantheon, Space is understood to have no individual physical form, but merely exists as the fundamental space of the entire multiverse itself. Because of this, Space is never portrayed as a conscious being with a personality unlike the rest of the Greater Pantheon. Instead, worshipers in the House of Space believe that all life is identical with divinity, because all things compose an immanent god by merely existing in space.
Darrian Derwin

**Darrian Derwin** was a half-elf politician and entrepreneur who became the first Lesser God of commerce, trade, and wealth.

Before his ascension to godhood, Derwin was infamous in Esterra as the second president of the Bullion City Mint. Eager to grow his city's economic influence on the entire Chaos Platform, Derwin pushed for coinage standardization for all major Esterran cities, introducing the current day standard platinum/gold/silver/copper standard in 636AE.

Darrian Derwin ascended to godhood after polishing off his billionth platinum using the tears of a peasant in 701AE. He was overthrown by his own granddaughter, Darla Derwin in 716AE in Rholds Island.

## Pottery Collection

Derwin was an avid collector of fine pottery, a pastime that he said made him more "relatable to the common people". His personal collection- which the Derwin Heritage Museum values in the tens of millions of platinum- includes works from famous artists such as Janus Platisson and Francis Tenderloin.
Preos Silenttooth

**Preos Silenttooth** was a leonin samurai who is known as the first Lesser God of War. Before his ascension into godhood, Silenttooth was the leader of a group of samurai residing in the island of Ghendor. A master tactician and strategist, Silenttooth ascended into godhood at the end of the Ghendor-Shagol War in 169BV, where he brought the Shagol Military Academy headmaster and commander-in-chief Viktor Shagol II to surrender after the Battle of Gyren Hill. Silenttooth was eventually defeated and overthrown in 116BV, when Viktor Shagol VI defeated him at Rhold Island and became the second Lesser God of War.
Odessner

Odessner is a large urban city located near the northern region of the Queizen Bay Area. It serves as the primary trade center for the surrounding cities, and the Odessner Port is the busiest port in all of the eastern continent.

Odessner was first established by the feared high elf pirate Captain Conrad Kilpher, who originally intended the town to be a front for his lucrative business of smuggling synthetic drugs from Tannabar Island to the mainland. For 70 years, Kilpher and his crew called the Kilpher Killers smuggled an estimated 200 tons of illegal exotic drugs to the mainland, mostly the drugs Mindshockers, Magic Dust, and Arcan-x.

However, in, Captain Kilpher had a near death experience when six of his own men came after his life after pretending to take him to a camping trip. He was only saved in the nick of time when a group of druids came to his aid; they killed Kilpher's assailants and tended to his injuries for a few days with druidic spells and naturally occurring drugs. This experience led Kilpher to have a huge change of heart and completely change his direction with how Odessner was going to grow as a city. The druids that saved Kilpher's life were honored with full rights to the city, which they wished to use to restore some of the dying coastal and marine wildlife. Odessner completely halted all synthetic drug production, which the druids replaced with naturally occurring drugs such as faerijuana and arcane psilocybin mushrooms. Instead, Kilpher turned all of the city's energy toward honoring the druids' wishes of restoring the wildlife living in the Quezin Bay Area. Within 14 years, Odessner became a nature's paradise and a popular settlement for various druid sects.

## Government

Odessner is ruled by an eleven-seat council consisting mostly of retired pirate captains, entrepreneurs, and officers. There is a separate special council of fourteen druids nicknamed the "Coral Council" that have executive powers over the regular council in certain affairs, particularly in regards to environmental preservation.
Avery Portner

**Avery Portner** was a human swashbuckler and chef, known as the leader of the sailing adventuring party the Emerald Sails and the inventor of Kraken Jerky. Part of the famous Portner human lineage, Avery was the son to Alice Portner, founder of Vecktimest, and the father to Noah Portner, first chairman of the Esterran National Mint in Bullion City.
Drescoil

**Drescoil**, named after its kenku inventor Descoil, is a highly experimental drug that gives the user the ability to manipulate and shape their bodies like a clay doll until its effects wear off. It is extremely popular in wealthy circles and highly sought after in the general population as well. However, Drescoil is not without its side effects- if the user uses too much of the drug, or is drenched in water at any point during the drug's effective hours, the user will melt into a lump of clay.

The inventor Drescoil initially worked with The Family to turn the drug Drescoil into their signature export, but was murdered by The Family's leader Karrug Alluzar when he tried to sell the drug formula to other criminal organizations.

Many other alchemists and artificers have tried to replicate the Drescoil formula, but currently only The Family know the secret. In 372AE, The Family released a new, improved line of the drugs, nicknamed Drescoil-X, which greatly reduces the risk of the user turning into a lump of clay.
Urigim Sefforebol

Urigin Sefforebol was a gnome politician and former professional gambler who became the second mayor of Alluzar after Karrug Alluzar and his entire family's untimely death from the Alluzar Beer Flood of 69. Known as the Queen of Luck fom her professional gambling days at the Lucky Duck Casinos, Sefforebol was also a surprisingly competent and popular mayor. Mayor Sefforebol was known to take wild risks in Alluzar development, but somehow managed to make it work out smoothly in the end. Because of her seeming lucky success in everything that she set her mind to do, Mayor Sefforebol was very popular with the Alluzar residents, despite most of the Alluzarians having difficulty actually remembering her name.

Her lifelong streak of luck came to an abrupt and violent halt on the 15th of the Sixth Block on 113AE, when one of her favored long silk scarf got caught on the wheels of a carriage she was in and broke her neck. Due to a lack of skilled clerics living in Alluzar, Sefforebol died on the spot. She was succeeded by her right hand man, Whit Ness, who became the third mayor of Alluzar.

When gamblers in the Alluzar casinos are having a very good winning streak, they usually thank the Queen of Luck and toss a copper coin at the Sefforebol Fountain in front of the Lucky Duck Casinos.
Undoing

The **Undoing** was a sudden mass extinction of 90% of the plant, animal, and mortal species on Esterra, approximately 71 million years ago. The monster and aberration population in Esterra were not affected by this event, but the sudden lack of prey to devour meant that the monsters attacked each other for food, causing a sharp decline in the monster population as well.

Historians are still in debate as to what caused the Undoing. It is generally believed that one of the deities of the Greater Pantheon willingly caused the mass extinction, although there is no consensus as to which deity caused it. The question as to which deity caused the Undoing is a point of great contention between the Church of Entropy and the Church of Order, with the Church of Entropy blaming Order and the Church of Order blaming Entropy.
The Halcyon

The Halcyon is an organization of adventurers, mostly Oath of the Watchers Paladins, Horizon Walker Rangers, and celestial warlocks (who made pacts with lesser gods), who swore to protect the Platform from the evil forces of the Chaos that manage to penetrate through the NoZone. They are located throughout the entire continent; there are satellite offices in each of the Unyielding Six cities, but the Halcyon's main headquarters is located in Edinthorpe.

The influence of the Chaos within the Platform can manifest as aberrations and other cosmically horrifying creatures, but the Chaos also has the power to corrupt the souls of mortals, driving them mad, causing some to go into a bloodthirsty frenzy. The job of The Halcyon is not only to battle and defeat the aberrations and horrors, but also to stop the influence of the Chaos before it infects another mortal.

The Halcyon was founded by the Minotaur paladin Jarnus Boulderfist on the 17th of the Eleventh Block, 12AE. Jarnus saw a need for elite warriors and spellcasters organized with the single purpose of defeating aberrations and other creatures of the Chaos after he defeated the mind flayer Debbimex and his devoted group of cult members in Edinthorpe. He recruited a young intellectual elf named Kelven Yontoth who was on track to become part of the Select before Jarnus changed Kelven's mind. Together, they bought a property in Edinthorpe and set up the headquarters to the Halcyon.
Alluzar Beer Flood of 45

The Alluzar Beer Flood was an accident at the Sober Cow Brewery, Alluzar, on the 30th of the Seventh Block in 69AE. The incident occurred when one of the giant 40-foot-tall wooden vats of fermenting stout burst. The pressure of the escaping liquid dislodged the valve of the surrounding vessels and destroyed 20 large barrels: an estimated 623,000 imperial gallons were released in total.

The resulting wave of stout flooded the entire brewery, destroying the back walls and sweeping into the streets. 49 people were killed, including Alluzar's mayor, Karrug Alluzar. A ceremony was being held at the Sober Cow Brewery to commemorate its 10 year anniversary before the barrel burst, greatly contributing to the body count.

## Background

The Sober Cow Brewery was founded on the 30th of the Seventh Block in 59AE, around 5 miles south from the Lucky Duck Casino in Alluzar. The brewery was so named after a joke that founder Russell Meux made, about "cows probably being the only creatures in Alluzar to even be considered sober."

The Sober Cow quickly found success in Alluzar after its founding, largely thanks to Karrug Alluzar being a huge fan of their porters and stouts. Sober Cow beers were the only alcohol served in the Lucky Duck Casinos, and due to the large demand for alcohol in the casino, Meux fermented his beer in giant wooden vats to save on storage costs and faster transportation.

## The Incident

On the 30th of the Seventh Block in 69AE, a large crowd of the brewery's patrons had gathered to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the brewery. In attendance was Karrug Alluzar, the mayor, his son Karrug Jr, his daughter Karrun, and local celebrity bard Elvin Parsili. The storehouse clerk had already noted that one of the iron bands around a vat had slipped during morning inspection, but his supervisor decided that it was not a big worry to deal with before the ceremony.

Karrug was about to hand Meux a commemorative plaque when the barrels, without prior indication, burst. The force of the liquids from the resulting cascade of bursting barrels fell upon the crowd, likely killing them all instantly. The force of the liquid then destroyed the rear wall of the brewery and swept into the nearby houses and streets, killing eight more Alluzar residents before the Spellforce came to remove the waves of stout.

## Aftermath

As a result of the incident, Sober Cow lost their good standing with Lucky Duck Casinos. With their founder and most of upper management dead from the flood, the Sober Cow was unable to weather through the loss of profit and went out of business on the 3rd of the Second Block in 70AE.

The Lucky Pigeon Tavern, located next to the Lucky Duck Casino, developed a signature cocktail inspired by the incident called the Sober Cow, which is essentially very dark stout laced with caffeine. It is said that only the most desperate of gamblers order this drink.

In the Alluzar Casinos, telling a gambler to "have a cow" is considered very offensive, where as telling a gambler to "not have a cow" is wishing them luck.
Urayah

Urayah, also known as the City of Knowledge, is an urban city located on the north of the Central Desert Region.

During the aftermath of the Torrid Terror, many scholars in the areas of spellcasting and magical tinkering settled in Urayah. This influx of knowledge coupled with the already curious and knowledgeable gnomes native to the area led to Urayah becoming a safe haven for the intellectually motivated. The city is also home to the oldest and most distinguished Artificer universities, the University of Arcane Engineering.

Despite being located in one of the hottest areas of the Central Desert Region, Urayah's wealth of knowledge, skills, and items makes it a popular travel destination for commoners and adventurers alike.

The large barren desert lands near Urayah were once a popular choice for wizards and artificers to perform some of their more explosive and dangerous experiments. However, with the growing population and the growing risk of civilian injury from the experiments, Froumulon Hayward decreed that all potentially dangerous experiments be performed at an even more distant and isolated area of the desert, which eventually grew to the engineering city of New Grounds.

The hugely popular ice-cream store chain Klaus's Frozen Delights is originally from Urayah, with the original store still operating at Hayward Square.

## Government

Urayah is a technocracy, which means that the leaders and decision-makers are appointed on the basis of their expertise and knowledge in science and technology. While the founder of Urayah, Froumulon Hayward, was a poor halfling whose skills were mostly self-taught, the succeeding leadership mostly came from rich elites who were highly educated from prestigious universities.

### Law & Order

The Surveyors, Urayah's official police force, is distributed throughout the entire central desert region, watching over not only Urayah but also the smaller cities and towns near it.
Cliffside

**Cliffside** is a city in northern Urayah County. An industrial city primarily involved in the textile industry, it is the third-largest city by population in Urayah County, after Urayah and Ragehammer. The metropolitan area, known as Metro Cliff, has recently been regarded as a major cultural center, with former textile employees of Cerrek & Keresington cultivating a rich arts & crafts scene.

## History

Cliffside was originally an unincorporated settlement primarily populated by mountaineers and explorers who harvested Blue Death flowers occasionally from the Blue Death Cliffs for income. With the introduction of the C&K factories and plants in 94BV, however, the small settlement quickly grew into a large town primarily inhabited by C&K factory workers. Thanks to C&K’s great employee benefits and options for employees to buy a share of the company in exchange for outstanding years of service, the town grew organically, both economically and socially. However, with the death of Chester Keresington in 88BV, C&K aggressively changed their stance toward their employees, attempting to get rid of their benefits and shut down their side businesses. Many of the C&K employees went on strike or downright quit, forming their own community in the growing Metro Cliff area.

Initially, C&K sent goonies to threaten the former employees at Metro Cliff, who had taken on the nickname “Metro Hookers”, to mild success. However, the Metro Hookers developed a friendship with Breena Badger, the leader of the Spellforce, and she sent over her toughest spell casters to make sure the C&K would not threaten the Metro Hookers ever again. Thanks to the unofficial protection of the Spellforce, the Metro Cliff area blossomed into a thriving cultural center, primarily led by the Metro Hookers.
Torrid Terror

The **Torrid Terror** was one of the Ten Calamities that occurred from the 1st of the First Block in 338AE to the 22nd of the Second Block in 391AE. This disaster occurred when the Sun, corrupted by the sinister forces of the Chaos, suddenly turned twice its size and burned four times as brightly, causing the days on the Chaos Platform to become unbearably hot. The Sun, called the Chaos Sun during this time, was eventually returned to its normal state after the adventuring group Vox Solaris defeated it and banished the influence of the Chaos away.

## Background

Before the start of the Torrid Terror in 338AE, Esterrans from all over the region had noted that the Sun had been spotty with black smears covering its surface for the past three months prior, during the Tenth through Twelfth Block in 337AE. Having experienced Solar Flares and aberrational eclipses in the past, Esterran astronomers didn’t think too seriously on the sudden increase in the number of foreign objects obscuring the surface of the Sun.

## Beginning of the Terror

As soon as the day dawned on the 1st of the First Block on 338AE, all residents noticed the sudden doubling of the sun’s mass, with the usual distant yellow star now a scorching red ball of heat in front of them. Many residents still sleeping instantly boiled to death on their beds, with many others following behind due to heat exhaustion. Spellcasters and elemental monks were able to partially control the climate near them to be more bearable with their arcane magic, but many of them were too isolated from each other to help anyone but themselves from the heat.

The larger cities of Esterra were able to recruit their spellcasters and artificers to create a large shady dome to cover the entire city to make the torrid days more bearable. Eventually, survivors from smaller settlements made their way to the larger cities, who welcomed all of them with open arms. The largest six of these cities, which received the most influx of people during this disaster, eventually became known as the Unyielding Six.

## The Journey of Vox Solaris

Recognizing that the Sun was not going to return to its normal state unless the sinister forces of the Chaos was removed, the larger cities issued an award for any party who would be willing to travel to the Chaos to bring an end to the Torrid Terror. Many parties from all over Esterra bravely volunteered to travel to the Chaos to stop the Sun during 365AE-390AE, but all were killed in the midst of the void of the Chaos.

In 391AE, A group of New Cresdale adventuring heroes called the Vox Solaris led by Kotimi Behr volunteered to travel to the Chaos to try to defeat the Chaos Sun. Borrowing the assistance of the Halcyon, the Vox Solaris travelled to the edge of the Chaos where they engaged in an epic fight against the dark flames of the Chaos Sun. Eventually, Kotimi Behr’s powerful multicolored ray of frost broke into the Chaos Sun and split the Sun into two. The split Sun eventually became a normal Sun again after Vox Solaris's cleric cast the Chaos' influence away. The other split half of the Sun then became the Moon.
