Lucanus (Stag Beetle)

* Native Habitat: This is a cosmopolitan Genus of beetles that thrive in forest habitat.
* Common Names
* Stag Beetles

## Captive Habitat

* Enclosure Type: Terrestrial/Fossorial For larva this species requires rotting hardwood (oak, beech etc,) to grow in. For adults the enclosure may be a simple as a medium sized deli-cup or small plastic tupperware tub modified with air holes, a specialized pet carrier (Kritter-Keeper) or an aquarium.
* Substrate: Decaying hardwood substrate is required for larva and makes the best substrate for adults as well. A top layer of leaf litter and bark will also provide a natural environment for your beetle.
* Conditions: Periodic dampening of the substrate is important, especially during the larval stages.
* Humidity: 70-75%
* Temp: 60-80\*F (15- 26\*C) About room temperature

## Husbandry

* Temperament: Defensive, handling is not recommended
* Behavior: Adults are generally active at night, Lacunus are fairly slow moving but will occasionally exhibit bursts of speed and are well known for taking unprecedented flights. Males will battle one another if placed together. Males can be placed together with several females.
* Size: Varies by species:Males roughly 3.5 " (9cm) and females are much smaller at 2 "(6cm)
* Social: Yes; Males may be housed with several females. Two males should never be housed together as they will continuously fight one another.
* Life Span: Once mature members of this genus will usually live 2-3 months. Larva can take 4-6 years to pupate.
* Feeding: Rotting fruit and vegetation, specialized beetle jellies are also available.Some species will also consume natural maple syrup.
Horological Council of Ceryne

The **Horological Council of Ceryne** is an organization based in the Magisterial City-State of Ceryne that serves as a de facto leader in determining the rightful passage of time; what the council accomplishes is to rectify differences in the various calendars of the world, and establish a unified understanding of these calendars. Given that they are based in Ceryne, they primarily deal with Drakonian-based culture, and this includes the Drakonian, Paragons, and Dragomyr calendars, though they have also included the Zaentovi and Edranish calendars in their reckoning of time.

One major accomplishment of the Council is that they retroactively decided the turning points of several Eras; prior to their establishment in 162 AC, eras were informally spoken of as taking up several generations, and they did not have an established year and/or date of change. One of the council's first tasks was to establish what events determined the ends of eras, and in the modern day, their reasoning has been unanimously accepted by all but a few, and their work is now discussed in the Academias, which give them academic and intellectual merit beyond simply being established and active. Over time, this has also entered the typical lexicon, and these dates are now merely accepted as fact.
Elkwood

**Elkwood i**s the current seat of House Dermond, and the capital of Gardoria.

Elkwood has been continuously inhabited since the Age of Legends as far back as archaeological records go, dating nearly to the Age of Creation. It is speculated that when the Andorasi 'natives' (i.e. the Gardorians, Wetlanders and Moonlytes) came to Andoras, they came from the west, rather than the east as every other culture has. Elkwood, in the southwest of Gardoria, is a shining example of this continuous habitation, with evidence of human activity going back as far as 18,000 years ago. Today, it serves its purpose as the capital of Gardoria, its largest city, and also the home to its bustling archery industry, of which the Gardorians are quite pleased with.

As far as the city's plan goes, Elkwood is a very sprawling, sparse city; it is about the size of Thyllanor's Faercrest while having only a quarter of the population. In the center lies the main dwellings of House Dermond, which also serves as a castle and administrative center. From this central point, several districts are loosely defined, and all of it is encircled by a widespread outskirts which is dedicated to the living quarters of the nobles in service to House Dermond directly, such as the members of the Council of Forty-Two, composed of the 42 lords and their official representatives.

Other districts are dedicated to trade, commerce, or production; Gardorian archery and fletchery, a famed stereotype of their culture with a good amount of truth behind it has its roots in Elkwood, where a bustling community dedicated to the construction of bows, arrows, and strings exists, which they provide to the other communities in Gardoria in both unfinished and finished forms, as well as sell them for ludicrous prices.
Army of the Sun

## History

### Second Era

The Army of the Sun was created by King Deyn Tyseth I in an effort to further organize Edrane's military, as well as generate income and more soldiers. The Army of the Sun was theorized as a unifying project between Doras Edrossi and Andoras, in an attempt to solidify the friendly relations between the Edranish and it's Edrossi friends.

### General History

The Army of the Sun has been recalled whenever Edrane found itself in an inter-country conflict, but not during the Paragon's Revolt. It has been recalled to Andoras as recently as 346 AC, when the respective rebellion turned the provinces against each other. During the Civil War, the Army of the Sun was captained by Roger Malierd, a member of House Malierd and a prominent officer from Edrane's military. Roger Malierd fell in the conflict, and was replaced with Felyx Asperro of House Asperro. However, when Felyx Asperro recently inherited the Duchy of Estania, the captainship fell to a branch-member of House Asperro, Hynri Asperro.

## Army of Mercenaries

### Function

The Army of the Sun is a hybrid between a mercenary company and a standing army, serving the Princedom of Edrane. A great majority of the Army is stationed overseas, in Doras Edrossi, and acts as a hiring mercenary company. Citizens of Doras Edrossi can enlist with the Army of the Sun and, after five years of service, receive official pardon to purchase land in Edrane. This is encouragement to further bolster Edrane's population, economy, and manpower, and for a long time has been successful in doing so.

### Structure

The Army of the Sun follows the standard organization of Edrane's Corps, the 40,000 man strong force has the same command structure to Edrane's field army, and is led by a General. It has the make of any normal army, balancing cavalry, infantry, archers, and siege units alike, with a leaning towards heavy and light infantry. Being named General of the force is considered an honor, and it is a title Edranish noble houses usually vie for.
Aenarion Dragomárus

**Aenarion Dragomárus,** also known as **Aenarius Dragomárus** was the founder of the prestigious Dragomárus dynasty and the Kingdom of Drakonia. According to legend, it is said he built the shining city of Drakonia with his own hands and molded it together in flames of his dragon's breath. He is also purportedly the first person to have found and hatched dragon eggs and began the tradition of dragon breeding. He is highly admired by the Drakonian peoples and was given the title of Nos Creavitus which translates from Drakonin as "He who created us".

## History

Little is known of Aenarion, and some scholars argue he never even existed. Others say he was a deity, who descended down to earth and started the Dragomárus dynasty (supporters of this theory tend to be Dragomárus or Drakonians), and even others say he was a real man, but a mortal one, who just happened to accomplish enough for him to be recognized as a legend. The typical stance on Aenarion today is that he was real, but not quite the man he was described to be.

He was born in the Age of Legends, probably somewhere near or on the Drakonian peninsula. His early life is shrouded in mystery, but most legends state he grew up as a noble in the clans of Drakonia, and united them by the time he was 18. He found dragon eggs and raised several dragons, the main one being Gavarex, who was puported to be the most powerful dragon to ever exist. He then started his life-long project, the city of Drakonia, and finished and hardened the city's walls with dragonfire. Later on, the clans he united, were now one whole kingdom under his rule. Few questioned him directly, and there were no internal wars during his time as king.

When he was approaching old age, Aenarion heard of a clutch of dragons in the mountains to the north, which may have been the Embergleam Range. He mounted up on his dragon Gavarex, and was never heard from again. It is not known if he found the dragons, or if there ever were dragons to be found. The throne was said to be claimed by his only son.

**House Taranyon**, officially established as a noble house with the construction of Taranyon Estate in 174 AC, is a relatively young noble house settled in Meyron, and at one point, was the richest family in the entire world.

Caelthon Taranyon, the house's progenitor, discovered the Dragonsteel Mine in northern Gardoria, in Andoras around 166 AC. Realizing that the mineral he had discovered inside was dragonsteel, he had made an arduous effort to return as much as he could in one day to his homeland in Meyron, altogether bringing back 50 pounds of it. That alone was worth enough to make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. Selling nearly all of it and saving some for the construction of an ancestral weapon, which he dubbed Blissblade, he had suddenly went from a simple traveler to where he stood now.

The sudden spike in dragonsteel temporarily caused it to deflate the market, and Caelthon had become the richest man in the world. When word got out of where he had discovered his wealth, the event known as the Dragonsteel Mine crisis began.

Using his wealth, he bought a 200-acre plot of land in southern Meyron City four years later, dubbing it the Taranyon Estate, and in 174 AC completed the exquisite villa on the property. Later on, after Caelthon's death, other buildings were added, and Delaenero Taranyon bought a 150-acre land extension in 248 AC.

House Taranyon's wealth has been slowly dwindling since then, and despite remaining incredibly wealthy, estimates put them at being worth half of what they were in Caelthon's time. Varen Taranyon, the current patriarch of the house, is the first Taranyon to actively engage in the act of trading and commerce.
House Dunsley

**House Dunsley** was an ancient Sigorian Kingslander noble house established in the Sixth Era and legally went extinct around the time of the Dragomyr invasion of Andoras. Around the time of the Dragon Wars in the 510s BC, they began to fuse with several other houses by merit of marrying into them; most of them are similarly-fated Kingslander houses on the same social scale of them. House Dunsley is dead in name, but their lineage lives well on in the northwestern Kingsland and in the Moonlyt Peaks.

When House Dunsley was a recognized House, they retained lands to the west of Brand, near the border of the Duchy of Morano in nearby Thyllanor. This land is now administrated by another house that claims Alettonic heritage, a heritage relatively uncommon in the 350s AC.

**Cliodhna Délámhoin** (Pronounced Cleod-nah) is the only legitimate child and daughter of Highlord Rolland Délámhoin. She is known as an astute and observant young woman, and is a shrewd silver-tongued minx, able to quite literally talk her way out of any situation.
House Mandrom

**House Mandrom is** a relatively notable noble house of the northern Kingsland, who, during the Tentative Years period of Andorasi history in the 330s AC, were subject to a heist of their family wealth which, according to the laws of the time, stripped them of their nobility and removed the rights they had as nobles. This generated a good deal of controversy within the noble circuit of Andoras, as many lords now feared their livelihoods were also at risk -- this so-called Mandrom Heist would set a precedent, some felt, and here it started becoming apparent that something was definitely amiss with Aegenar IV Dragomárus, who for years after the Farmers' Revolution passed mandates much like the one that stripped their rights, targetting everyone from the peasantry, the merchants and artisans, and everyone in between.

House Mandrom itself still remains in their estate and ancestral lands, and have recovered a good bit of their wealth, but the broken promises of the Kingdom of Andoras to restore their wealth due to this heist led them to develop Con-crownism in the family, and now Karl Mandrom, a young member of this house, is seeking candidacy for the next Consulship of either the Principality of Colburgh or Voyatia, in the nearby Lord Paramouncy of Thyllanor.

The **Daerod di Piazz**, the **Period of Peace** in Drakonian, was a period of relatively minimal involvement in war or martial affairs for the Kingdom of Andoras throughout much of the 3rd century AC. During this time, the kingdom flourished and trade was conducted with most nations. It began with the end of the 198 AC rebellion in 201 AC, and ended with the start of the Mournare Nights in 286 AC. It is the longest period of peace in modern times (being the time after the Dragomyr invasion of Andoras in 1 BC), and still holds this title today, at 84 years, 7 months, and 21 days long.

Edward III Stenwulf (*born August 23rd, 312 AC)* is the current lord of House Stenwulf and Lord Paramount of Frostfall. He is often called **Ed** for short by his friends and family. Edward is known to be an honorable man who upholds his obligations and keeps the well-being of his family at first priority. During the rebellion that deposed House Dragomyr, Edward decided against marching south to join the siege but had sent a regiment of men to rescue his daughter instead. He received a message during the siege however, from Taeronys Dragomyr who wrote that Edwards daughter Gwen Stenwulf had been with him during his court visit to Dragonspire when the city was attacked. Gwen managed to escape through a siege tunnel that lead out of Dragonspire and was escorted back to the north by one of the princes men, Warne Hasty.

Currently, Edward rules Frostfall independently, putting his efforts to maintaining the stability of his holdings.
House Goldarr

**House Goldarr** (sometimes spelled **House Goldarre**) was a now-extinct house holding significant power within the Moonlyt Peaks from the early Seventh Era to the 280s AC, when its last male member, Torvan Goldarr (203 - 285) died without issue. House Goldarr has its roots embedded in many great houses of Andoras, however, such as House Karthmere, House Stone, House Brackwater, House Clement and House Brig, just to name a few houses it contributed its bloodline to over its near-eight hundred year existence.

Richard III Karthmere's mother was of House Goldarr.
Drakonian

**Drakonian** is the main language spoken by the Drakonian people. It is a language widely spoken in southwest Doras Edrossi and abroad that originated from Drakonin, a precursor language spoken by Drakonians before the Dragon Wars. It was especially spoken in city-states whom were once colonies of the Drakonian Empire. There is also a presence of Drakonian still spoken in the Kingsland.

Since the fall of Drakonia, the language had over time taken on a different form known as Low Drakonian and some city-states have taken on their own dialects. House Dragomárus and the Drakonian noble families that live in the Kingsland still speak Drakonian in its original form and can teach the language to those who wish to learn it.

People foreign to the language describe it as sounding melodic, dramatic and eloquent.

## Low Drakonian

Low Drakonian is not a stand alone language itself, but rather a bastardization of Drakonian during its decline. It is commonly used among city-states. Most cities adopted their own dialects and each dialect more or less has its own seperate derived vocabulary.

There are several dialects of Low Drakonian such as Cerynian, Ethrykian and Thysian from the city-states. City-states like Vecys and Edynar have managed to retain much of the original dialect and semantics of the original language.

Thyllanorian is often considered a bastard dialect of Ethrykian, a Low Drakonian dialect in itself.
House Rutherford

**House Rutherford** is a vassal house of House Karthmere. They have no territorial holdings, but reside in the court of Dalan Karthmere in Faercrest, instead acting as a buffer between the affairs of the nobles and the royals. Their head, Wilum Rutherford, is currently the Lord of the Court in the Upper Chamber of Lords of the Thyllanorian government.
House Silverfall

**House Silverfall** is a vassal house of the great House Stenwulf, and is currently headed by Herrith Silverfall.

House Silverfall dates back to ancient times and was founded by Govith Silver-Feller, the house founder earning his name by being acclaimed to have slain a giant made of silver -- where he fell was purpotedly where his followers chose to build the the Township of Silverfall. This story, like many such stories of origin, is apocryphal, having been twisted for thousands of years, but there may be some truth to it -- when the Koshtadic immigrants set foot on Frostfall, they were forced to face many giants to earn their place on the land.

   Their motto is "Felling Our Foes".

WIP
Drakonteians

**Drakonteians** are a dwindling culture of Drakonians who emigrated from Drakonia during The Teios Exodus of the Fourth Era to the dense jungle region of Zyntano, now known as Drakonteia. The Drakonteian people are a mysterious and isolated people, preferring to remain within their borders and avoiding contact with neighboring nations and abroad. They are known for their mysticism and powerful Magic capabilities, as well as their reverence to Teios, the Paragon of Love.

## History

The Drakonteians began as a society established around the teachings and practices of Teios, a Stremagio who rose to prominence during the mid to late Third Era during the reign of Emperor Taenyr Calatieus. At 38 years of age, Teios underwent an Efugeiium or more commonly known as a firmamental vision which bestowed upon him horrifying knowledge of what has been and what will be. As a result of this groundbreaking vision, Teios would begin to preach goodwill and compassion to whoever would hear his dogma, traveling across the Drakonian peninsula in hopes of reaching out to the whole Empire and those who became the Drakonteians would hear it quite well.

Not all would heed these teachings and eventually the Strezici would demand the Emperor oust Teios whom they named a false clairvoyant. The Emperor would refuse these demands by the Strezici and later convene in private with Teios about what his practices could provoke politically. Teios then gathered his followers and brought about the Teios Exodus, bringing a majority of magically gifted followers with him to a region called the Zyntano Rainforest which was later then established as Drakonteia. After the exodus, Drakonia was thrust into a dark age with many magically inclined individuals now far away from the empire. Emperor Taenyr was later captured and killed for his role in the Teios Exodus, resulting in a coup by the indignant Strezici who began a tyrannical rule lasting over 86 years; later being deposed by a collective of conservative Drakonians.

## Characteristics

Presently, the Drakonteians have developed well into their own distinctive culture rather than being a society. Drakonteian culture values knowledge, mysticism and scholarly conduct as opposed to their Drakonian brethren who value martial prowess, dragonriding and imperialism. Drakonteians are the most magically gifted individuals known on Drakonius and even possess knowledge from Drakonia that did not burn away in the Dragon Wars.

**'Ser' Garryt** was the second-in-command of the Broken Cloaks, a powerful and dangerous gang in Lavos, during the Lavosi Gang Wars. He was the right hand man of Jorry 'Lavos', and peer of Kallum Resno. 'Ser' Garryt was a man of Low-Drakonian descent; All he knew of his early life and his parents was that his father was a merchant, and his mother a common platinum-haired brothel whore.

## Joining the Broken Cloaks

When Garryt was a man of sixteen years, he met Jorry. The two quickly became friends as their goals and aspirations went along the same lines. He wanted power, wealth, and respect. Through blood, assassination, bribery, theft, murder, and steel he sure obtained it. Even the Lavosi government had the hardest time even putting a dent in their morale.

## Real name

Garryt was actually his only name, for as an abandoned bastard, he had no family name. The prefix 'Ser' was given to him by Jorry when during a bout in a tavern, he attempted to don stolen armor and harass a barmaid with drunken chivalry.

## History

It was on a summer day when Garryt was born. His father was a drunken Andorasi trader and his mother was a Drakonian brothel maid; the pregnancy was unexpected and he grew up with no father. His mother looked at the newly born babe, he had his mother's eyes and his father's temper. Growing up in a brothel, he learned to listen -- and listen he did. He could tell you everything about anyone within Lavos. He'd even buy drinks for people just to loosen their lips and share their secrets. Garryt was a man of great intrigue, not so bad as a gangster diplomat, and decent with a claymore.

He died on July 29th, 244 AC with Jorry 'Lavos' when they attempted to assassinate Victor Damius.

• Re-amend relations between the Zaentovi and the Ethrykians, something which had not been done in half a century.

The **Dealing of 345 AC** was a Dealing that occurred on December 21, 345 AC, at Pryiore Villa in the City-State of Meyron. It is often considered the first Dealing that 'failed in its purpose'; after having held the meeting and engaging in a heated debate with other rulers who were critics of his rule, Aeganar IV Dragomárus finally succumbed to madness and began imprisoning people he called traitors at will, many of which he fed to his dragon while still alive. These acts of extreme cruelty and tyranny led to the 346 AC rebellion, the Civil War of Andoras, only four months later, in April of 346 AC.
House Bretanland

**House Bretanland** is a house in southeastern Thunder's Shore, and they are known as the main suppliers of armor and arms for the paramouncy, as they occupy an opportune place in the central lands of the Merchant Republic of Pratique that is rich with minerals; they are vassals, then, of House Rytho (however this is subject to change, as merchant republics elect their leaders rather then inherit them), and hold a wide swath of land within the republic itself -- the Bretanlands, however, practice feudalism. Many notable smiths of great renown have come from the Bretanland family, and even now many venture out to work with both those on Andoras and Doras Edrossi.
Bogdweller

The **Bogdwellers,** also known as the **Farragh'lochn** or (Farragh's Chosen) in the native Alettonic language of the region, are a sub-culture of Wetlanders whom are in return, a subculture of mostly Aletton origin found only in the deepest marshes of The Wetlands. They are known an extremely superstitious, strange, and abnormally violent people and are the main reason as to why Gardorians despise the Wetlanders as a whole, though the two cultures of the region are as far apart from each-other as the world and stars above.

## History

Little is known of the Bogdwellers as a people, though it is speculated they, like the modern day Wetlanders, are natives of Andoras and are some of the best examples of pure to near-pure Aletton heritage, due to the fact that theres never been a successful immigration in the Wetlands of Edrossian people, and the fact the land has never been conquered for more then a few years due to the savage and untamed landscape.

A popular theory among scholars of the strange inhabitants is that the Bogdwellers are what remains of pre-historical and pre-fuedal Aletton-Wetlander society due to the fact that their religion, language, and culture is so ancient that most Wetlanders only know snippets if any. What is known for a fact is the Bogdwellers are abnormally aggressive to outsiders and have otherworldly customs, such as human sacrifice and offering every third newborn to effigies of an odd horned deity they appear to worship only known as' **Farragh'**

## Language, culture, and customs

The Bogdweller's do speak a pre-edrossian language, which is thought to be a form of an archaic Wetlander-Alettonic dialect that has mostly faded into obscurity. Some phrases and verses of the language has been translated into small scriptures and is a hotbed of debate for linguists as to what Aletton languages sounded like as a whole, but not much is known else due to how secretive the people are.

Their religion appears to be a form of polytheism involved with the darker aspects of nature, such as death and decay, and it appears that the patron-deity of this strange form of paganism is an individual known only as '**Farragh'** whose name can be roughly translated as **'The Demon of the Fen'**. Farragh is associated with everything relating from death, to disease, to chaos as a whole, so much so that the customs demand he be given sacrifices of living beings and be offered every third newborn babe of a Bogdweller family. A common form of religious execution is forcing a deer or elk skull on the head of the sacrifice and covering their body with feces, honey, and or rotten scraps of food in order to attract the carnivorous insects to devour the victim slowly over the course of a few days, a practice of early scaffolding.
Academia Thauros

The 'Hall of the Boundless', also known as the main library of the Academia.

## Local Information

### Popularity

Academia Thauros is one of the most popular places of higher-learning that is offered to those of the wealthiest of families, or those whom are selected to study.

### Location

Thauros

**Academia Thauros** is one of the several places of higher-learning that is highly coveted by those of wealthier origin, or those whom show great promise and are selected to join the prestigious establishment. Academia Thauros is infamously known to be difficult in obtaining scholarship and entry. Despite the size of the school, it's halls are relatively empty compared to other Academia's across the world, mostly due to the fact that only a few handfuls are even granted entry.
Duchy of Kurelo

Kurelo

The Duchy of Kurelo is one of the six duchies that lie within Edrane, ruled by House Saviere.

Economically, it ranks as Edrane's fourth wealthiest duchy, above the duchies of Davirron and Marenn, while below Estania, Oren, and Tynor. It's primary export (in order) is weapons, armor, iron, and steel. It is the primary source of most of Edrane's raw metal, excluding gold and silver.

In manpower, it ranks as Edrane's third largest contributer to the military, above Oren, Davirron, and Marenn, while below Estania and Tynor.

It's current ruler is Duke Adamus Saviere, who rules from Cor, the duchy's capital. It's vassals are the counties of Liir, Ancliff, and Mare.
House Dayton

**House Dayton** was a Great House of Sigorian descent in Andoras that reigned in what is now the Kingsland. During the Drakonian Conquest, they refused to bend the knee to House Dragomyr and were thus slaughtered. It is unknown if any members had survived. The only remaining piece of their legacy is the city of Daywater and several ancient sites in the Sigoria region. Members of the Daytons sailed with the notorius ship Drowned Duchess, especially Diana Dayton.
Dragonhall

**Dragonhall** was an ancient keep located north of Dragonspire and seat of power of House Dragomárus built during the Dragomári conquest of Andoras. It was a castle fief traditionally given to the firstborn son of the current Dragomári monarch. It was granted to Taeronys Dragomárus shortly after his marriage to Gwen Stenwulf, his reign lasted two and a half years. During the deposition of House Dragomárus in the 346 AC rebellion, it was put to the torch and has since been abandoned. It is rumored that the keep and its surrounding lands are cursed as ashy gray clouds above the keep never part and stormy weather seems almost constant.

The fief consisted of a large keep similar in architecture to that of old Drakonian structures, a roosting tower made custom for holding a dragon and a garden. Its appearance was strange and foreign to Andorasi, like that of Dragonspire City.
Edranea-Mal

## The Myth

Edranea-Mal is the purported home continent of the Edranishmen, who emigrated from the land for reasons unknown and landed in modern day Edrane. Folk legend paints Edranea-Mal as a land of lush jungle, expansive mesas, and exotic creatures. Edranishmen claim that the land was home to Gryphons, the sigil of House Tyseth, but this is pure speculation.

Within the Sixth Era, an ancient, wrecked ship of unknown architecture was found on the rocky shores of western Edrane. Edranish scholars at the time believed it a possible ship from the original Edranish emigrants, but the ship was taken by the sea and has been lost since, leaving little more than more speculation. Recorded info only indicated that the ship was similar to a sloop.
Confederation of Beland

The Confederation of Beland

### Formed from

6 coastal counties, 1 duchy (formerly Duchy of Beland, which was also ruled by House Countliss)

### Founder

Basel Countliss

The **Confederation of Beland** is a confederation in western Gardoria founded in 254 AC by Basel Countliss, the former Duke of Beland before it united with six counties on the coast and formed a confederation. The Confederation is notable for being one of the primary producers of naval vessels of Gardoria, as sparse as they might be compared to other lord paramouncies. It also boasts the only major navy in Gardoria, with 800 hands on deck, enough to commandeer a small defensive fleet. Beland, like its neighbor and similar Confederation of the Trythos, is in the Trythos River watershed, and it is in Beland that it weaves through and empties into the sea. As a result, Beland is similarly populated and nearly as dense as the Trythos, with about 94,000 people calling this region their home.

House Countliss has been the head of the confederation since its inception, as is traditional in Gardoria. House Countliss is also notable for producing a number of world-class stewards, and some of them have even ventured out of Gardoria to better serve their talents to a higher lord.
Broken Cloaks

The **Broken Cloaks** were a street gang of notable renown in Lavos, rising to prominence during the Lavosi Gang Wars, a war which they technically won, had the Lavosi government (led by fledgling Premier Victor Damius, who would later become famous in his own right) not put down the fight. They were the longest lasting Lavosi street gang, finally being eliminated and their headquarters burned at the turn of the 3rd century AC. By 301 AC, the Broken Cloaks were no more. On the other hand, the two rival gangs they fought in the gang wars, the Caravan of Wonders and the Shattered Brotherhood\* had died out in approximately 240 and 260 AC, respectively.

Their most famous leaders, a triumvirate referred to as the **'Odd Three'** was formed behind Jorry 'Lavos', 'Ser' Garryt and Kallum Resno.

\*= The Shattered Brotherhood had never truly died out, but in 260 AC the ruling family of the Brotherhood, the Mantols, were killed by their own men and replaced by a council of the occult. The Shattered Brotherhood no longer exists as a gang, but it exists as an obscure cult. More about that on the Shattered Brotherhood page.
Academia Faercrest

Level
 Location

The **Academia Faercrest** is one of eight prestigious academies; known as Academias; in the world, being one of the most expensive and luxurious Academias of the eight. The Academia does not specialize in any teaching, and is quite proficient in making artisans of anyone in any trade or profession. It was established in 903 BC, the second to last Academia to be founded. It is one of the most popular academies to attend, with over 80,000 confirmed students. The Academia sits on the outskirts of Faercrest, taking up roughly 53 hectares of land with all facilities and owned land combined. Many people have attended the Academia Faercrest and become proficient leaders, and most Karthmeres, if not given a private tutor, have attended the Academia.
Dragonsteel Mine crisis

The **Dragonsteel Mine crisis** was an event that occurred in the northern Wetlands in 167 AC. During the Dragonsteel Mine crisis, there was a heightened migration to the Wetlands in search of excavated, freely-dug dragonsteel, which was a unique, mysterious mineral that purportedly could only be made with the breath of a dragon. While there was some dragonsteel found in the foothills of the region, they were all connected to one main cavern -- later determined to be a former iron mine inhabited by a deceased dragon of great proportion, whose simple act of breathing was apparently enough to convert the iron into dragonsteel -- with remarkable (and presumably unintentional) accuracy, as dragonsteel is known to become too brittle when it is under or overheated.

All in all, an estimated 800 pounds of dragonsteel was excavated from the site, much less than contemporary estimates of the time, which put it at nearly ten times that or even a hundred times more, likely related to the hysteria surrounding the event, which was considered bizarre in Doras Edrossi and almost frightening in Andoras; many Andorasi had not accepted the fact that dragons might have dwelt amongst them. The dragonsteel that was excavated accounts for almost 95% of all known dragonsteel on Andoras, and with the entire motherlode considered, the whole sum of dragonsteel discovered could have been sold for a ludicrous sum of money -- and would have likely crippled a state's economy if one person was to do so. The price of dragonsteel was valued so highly in many nations that even minuscule amounts would have made anyone in possession of them the socioeconomic equivalent of an aristocrat, and Andoras had not even had a dragonsteel trade due to all existing dragonsteel being part of various ancestral weapons that were obviously not for sale.

The event sparked several towns to inhabit while in pursuit of the dragonsteel, many of which have been abandoned to present day. Leverecton is a famous example of this, partially because of the bicentennial visits beginning in the early 3rd century AC from priests of the Five Paragons and continuing to this day. One man in particular, Caelthon Taranyon, made off rich with around fifty pounds of dragonsteel during this event, temporarily migrating to the Wetlands and successfully leaving with his newfound riches when he returned to his homeland of Meyron. His descendants are now one of the richest -- if not richest outright -- families in Doras Edrossi, under patriarch Varen Taranyon.
Drakonius

**Drakonius** is the home of the human race. The world has other names in several languages, but with the Common Tongue becoming a quickly-growing lingua franca, it is often simply referred to as Drakonius. The age of the planet cannot be determined; performing scrying magic to determine this had resulted in wildly-differing results that range from tens of thousands of years to billions. It is clear, however, that evidence of human civilization appears about 25,000 years ago, and not much predates this, leading to puzzling conclusions and conflicts among various scholars, especially in an age where magic is not widely practiced and these results cannot be viably tested.

Drakonius has two moons, Ezuno and Lacuna. Ezuno is closer to the world than Lacuna is, and Ezuno's face never seems to change, while telescopes from the ground are able to determine Lacuna's faces. The world is one of the main planets that orbit around the Solare.

Aistriúcháin Délámhoin III

*"We do not bend our knees out of fear, Dragon-King. You could scorch my lands but you'd never conquer them, the moment you and your silver-haired entourage stepped foot in the Marshes you'd die of illness or the creatures that lay within. Nay, I bend my knee because I see hope and a future with you. The lands far and wide are brutal and dishonest with brother killing brother, mothers murdering sons, and more kings then you could shake a stick at. Before I make a promise to you, then you need to make a promise to me, that you'll unite this land and bring forth peace, something Andoras has never seen before. Swear this to me and my House and descendants will honor the oath I take this day, from this day until the end of days."*

' *(**Aistriúcháin to Draegon, asking that he promise to bring peace in order for the Wetlands loyalty.)'***

 **Aistriúcháin Délámhoin III** also known by some as **'The Bending Bog'** was King of The Wetlands prior to the Dragomari conquest of Andoras. He was the last king to ever claim the title of 'King of the Rivers and Marches, a man only standing at five foot seven inches but was truly the strongest and most intelligent of the kings of the continent at the time.

King of the Rivers and Marshes (Formerly)Highlord of The Wetlands

Protector of the West

### Religion

The Five Paragons (Formerly)The Six Paragons (Adopted Faith)

## Historical Information

### Most known for

'The Bending Bog' is most known for being the first king to willingly bend his knee to the Dragomári invaders and being their staunchest ally in their conquest of the entire continent.

Aistriúcháin is also regarded as the first King of Andoras to willfully bend his knee to the Dragomari and not put up a fight, and therefore saved the lives of all of their standing forces and peasants alike.
Ezuno

**Ezuno** is the primary moon of Drakonius, the largest of the two (the other being Lacuna), and the closest to the planet. It has an orbital period of roughly 27 days. For many years, Ezuno has been revered as a god or supreme figure in the cultures of many cultures on Andoras and Doras Edrossi, taking on the position of a god almost as important as the sun in some religions. The moon is particularly revered in Geodalism, a religion that reveres the earth itself, as the moon is considered an extension of Drakonius's influence on the very universe in the religion.

Its sister moon, Lacuna, is not as revered, but is often celebrated as a sister, child, or wife of Ezuno. Recent years have given way to scientific debate over what the moons are actually made up of, how they were formed, and what purpose they serve -- and to that end, what effect they have on the planet and each other.
Drowned Duchess

***Drowned Duchess*** is a frigate from the Andorasi fleet residing at the harbor of Dragonspire. It is notable for being an ancient ship, nearly five thousand years old, once owned by House Dayton of the Kingsland. It was originally colored an ashy grey, but repainted red and black to fit in amongst the Andorasi fleet. It's sails had the sigil of House Dragomárus sown into them. It was also given a major hull upgrade after the Thysian Conflict, leading some to believe that the ship is no longer the same Drowned Duchess that it was at its creation.

The ship was named after its captain Diana Dayton, who navigated the vessel in the Third Era. She was swept away by a massive wave during her voyage back to Andoras. Her crew had named the ship in her honor.

When the Dragomári had destroyed House Dayton, they took their vessels including the Drowned Duchess to aid in transporting their soldiers. The ship still remains in the harbor today, even after the deposition of Aeganar IV Dragomárus. It is believed to be haunted by Diana Dayton herself. She is said to be seen manning the helm at times, wearing a long black dress and a captain's hat decorated with a exotic feather. The ship is also said to be impervious to signs of age after its renovation. The ship's original state was most likely a form of longship.

## Notable Crew

* Helman II Stone was aboard the Drowned Duchess during the Thysian Conflict as a cannoneer and bore witness to Aeramor I Dragomárus and his ship being shredded by cannon fire. The ship returned to port with minimal damages.
* Raul Dayton was the captain of the Drowned Duchess during the Fifth Era. He had apparently slept with the wife of the Lord of House Cassimer, which lead to a bloody duel between the two, resulting in the Lord Cassimer's death. After bringing much dishonor to his house and mischief to the land, he departed on his own and navigated the Drowned Duchess across the White Sea and beyond, acquiring a crew and delving deep into piracy; becoming a scourge to merchant vessels. The ship was recovered by the head of House Dayton, Albano Dayton and was returned back to port.
* Diana Dayton navigated the vessel during the Third Era. At the time, it was not called the Drowned Duchess and was thus named after her. Books tell of her being the Duchess of Daywater, who had acquired highly profitable trade agreements from across the White Sea. She was noted to have brought House Dayton to the peak of its wealth in its time and was the richest house in Andoras for the rest of the Third Era. She was experienced at navigating and even naval warfare. She began sailing back to Andoras from a successful deal in Ceryne but the voyage was made difficult due to tropical storms. She lost her way and the waves grew larger and larger. Not long after, a massive wave swept over the ship, swallowing her whole. Her crew would recover and find that the helm was unmanned, their captain gone. The rest of the crew managed to beat the storm and make it safely back to Daywater, only to tell her family of her demise.
Faron Blood-Eye

**Faron Blood-Eye** is an infamous pirate in Raunerre and is commonly referred to as **The Blood-Eye**, his party of thieves and thugs consist of approximately four hundred men and are often set on raiding villages in Raunerre on very dire times. During the War of Embers the Blood-Eye and his company sought to damage the Grimolt grip on the county, by burning villages and crops carrying false banners of House Grimolt to cause the tenants to believe their Lord was selling them short to protect his own lands.

Faron is the son of the late Lord Velron Dekland of House Dekland and carries the very banner his father used to have before their house became extinct. His company being some of the survivors from the sacking and destruction of Dekland Keep and its township.
