Deep

## Appearances

*Kingsbane*
*Lightbringer*

**The Deep** is an infinitely spaning void between worlds. It is the place where the angels were sent. It can be entered through the Gate.

## Description

Zahra tells Eliana that the angels were led to believe that the Deep was another world like Avitas during treaty negotiations. The Saints and the angels' own leaders told the angels that humans were weaker than angels and could not survive outside the world they were born in, but angels could. Both sides had lost so many to the wars and were eager for peace. This seemed the easiest way to achieve it.

However, as soon as the angels arrived, the Deep revealed its true nature, a prison. The angels' bodies were ripped away by the Deep, leaving them to be nothing but a mind. They were a consciousness, bodiless and impotent.

The Deep was not a new world, but a void, a nothing space between the world of Avitas and whatever lay beyond.

The Saints did show doubt about their deception, especially Saint Grimvald and Saint Katell, but they did not know how else to keep humans from being wiped out. Aryava told them that doing this was the only hope for humans and angels to survive. The Deep is the farthest the Saints could manage to delve beyond Avitas. It is a liminal space and the empirium functions differently here, it is distant and cold, and leaves a void in its wake.

2-Handed Infantry

Strong against Infantry, weak against Ranged

2-Handed Infantry are one of the three types of Infantry Units that can be recruited from the Barracks. As an advanced Unit type, they can only be recruited after researching the Strategic Policy "Heavy Weapons".

2-Handed Infantry are named for the variety of massive bladed weapons they carry onto the battlefield. They are especially effective against other Infantry Units, but also weak against Ranged Units.

## Strategy

If you are going up against a Settlement with lots of Infantry, you'll want to take some 2-Handed Infantry along. They are ideal for attacking Settlements as they can counteract the defensive bonus that any Infantry manning the Walls gets when defending. Make sure that you pair them with other units to soak up damage as they have lower armor than either Spear Infantry or Sword Infantry.

*Furyborn**Kingsbane**Queen of the Blazing Throne**Lightbringer*

 In a world where people can control only one element, Rielle Dardenne can control all seven. There are just two people who are said to possess such power: a Queen of light and renewal and a Queen of death and destruction. A prophecy foretells of the Queens' arrival but it does not specify which Queen will appear first. For all her father knows, Rielle could be either.
In an effort to keep her safe from such scrutiny, he forces Rielle to keep her powers hidden, only letting the most trusted individuals know. This works for eighteen years until Rielle sneaks herself into the annual horse race. During the race, a group of assassins ambushes Prince Audric, her close friend and crush. Without hesitation, she reveals her multielemental status, managing to save him, but killing over a dozen other innocent racers in the process.
Questioning her intentions and control, King Bastien gives Rielle an ultimatum: she must face seven trials that will test her powers and morality. If she passes all seven trials, she will be deemed the Sun Queen, savior of the land. If she fails, she will be executed- if she can even survive the trials first.
Over 1,000 years in the future lives a young women named Eliana Ferracora. She keeps a powerful secret: she is nigh invulnerable. Cuts and bruises heal quickly and even falling off a roof leaves not a scratch. This mysterious power is an asset given that she is a bounty hunter for the Undying Empire, a ruthless dictatorship that has invaded many kingdoms, including her own.
When women and girls start to mysteriously vanish, Eliana suspects that the rebel group Red Crown is behind it all. After her own mother disappears, she crosses paths with the Wolf, a masked killer and right hand man to the Prophet, leader of Red Crown. The Wolf makes a deal with her: if she joins him, he will help her find her mother. Knowing that this might be her only chance, Eliana agrees. Her missions with the Wolf reveal a darker truth about the Empire and its leader, ones that will make Eliana question what she is fighting for and who she is.
In a story that spans centuries, Rielle and Eliana's fight against the perils that threaten them slowly begin to intersect. It is these connections that will ultimately determine the fate of their lives and their world.

The Merchant Clans of Bhornram

The Merchant Clans of Bhornram are four distinct Dwarven clans who trade with the surface world.

## History

In the earliest years of Dwarven history, there were hundreds, if not thousands of clans on the surface world. This period is known as the Dark Age of Dwarfkind, where the infighting between clans prevented any real progress. This period of decline and conflict caused many Dwarves and Goblins to flee the mountainhomes and live among Humans and Halflings.

This Dark Age eventually ended when the Tathorian Empire began to expand across the Northern half of Eran. The many Dwarven clans felt threatened by this massive expansion and began to group together for protection. This led to three major clans taking control of their respective mountain ranges by 432 AC: the Cragforges, Mountaincoats and Axebeards. These three clans still fought one another occasionally, but the Dark Age was finally over. After a few violent revolutions, the Cragforge Clan allowed the Hillbolt Clan to become independent in 440 AC.

In 842 AC, the four leaders met in Bhornram, a city in the Cragforge territories, and signed the "Undertrade Protection Pact", which acts as a defensive pact and allows free trade between all four clans. This ushered in a new age of prosperity for Dwarfkind, and the underpassages opened up trade across the entire world.

## Present Day

The Merchant Clans are perhaps the most powerful countries in present day Uggiriel, with their trade power eclipsing even that of Venatia. Their craftsmanship is unmatched and Dwarven works are revered for their unmatched quality. They do not participate in conflict between any surface nations, as it is a condition of both the Undertrade Protection Act and the many trade agreements signed with other nations.

But Obritsa doesn't care what they think. She has her own secrets, her own agenda — and outrage is the least of her problems. In the capital city, more children go missing every day. Whispers fly through the streets of a great danger brewing in the far north. And some Celdarian girl she's never heard of has been named Sun Queen.
