Saint Waldemar

An ancient Tathen lesser god and patron of the Waldemaren Church.

Waldemar was a clergyman from the modern lands of the Duchy of Lorenz who lived from 562 BC to 523 BC. A deeply devout man, Waldemar wrote many manuscripts and books on the topic of religion and belief, and his crowning achievement were his examination of the Heavenly Scriptures, which became known as his Dialogues. Waldemar died suddenly in 523 BC to unknown causes, but his writings lived on and formed the foundations of the Waldemaren Sect and later the Elizabeten Church.

Saint Waldemar was revered even in death, and through the people's love and devotion to him he ascended to divinity. In a sad twist of fate, his writings spoke negatively of lesser deities, alleging they were Fiends masquerading as gods. As a result, worship of Saint Waldemar was heretical, and he has very few worshipers in the modern day.
Mithril

Mithril is an expensive and rare metal that is near synonymous with master dwarven smiths. The metal is lightweight and renowned for its ability to be used for nearly every purpose.

Mithril is usually only worked with by master blacksmiths as it is prohibitively expensive.

Blades made of Mithril are known to basically never require maintenance, and due to them being made by master smiths are often nearly unmatched in sheer quality of balance and edge.

Unfortunately the lightweight nature of Mithril makes it unsuited to tools or weapons that rely on weight rather than pure cutting power, and Cragforge Steel is often used in those cases instead.
Lorenz

Current flag

Current holdings

A country in the Coalition of Kingdoms.

One of the wealthier provinces of the old Tathorian homeland, Duke Leopold Lorenz declared independence before the other provinces, which snowballed into the entire homeland fracturing into separate city states. The Duchy holds a massive gold mine and other rich lands, which makes it a valuable member of the Coalition.
Goblins

Goblins are a small race that lives deep underground. Millennia ago they ruled over vast cave systems and were a rival of dwarves. They were eventually enslaved by the dwarves when all of the goblin kingdoms were conquered. Before the Dark Age of Dwarfkind, the famous Noddurum Mountainbane decreed that slavery was against both the Merchant Code and the tenants of Nivara, and slavery was abolished shortly thereafter. Goblins have been living among dwarves for long enough for the cultural scars to mostly heal. Goblins are still viewed with suspicion by other races, but dwarves and goblins get along very well.

## Hobgoblins

### Average Lifespan

180-190 years

A testament to how far dwarven society has progressed, hobgoblins are half-dwarf and half-goblin. Hobgoblins inherit the pointed facial features of goblins and the stoutness and facial hair of dwarves, making them appear to simply be slightly larger and hairier goblins.
Wulfrus

The God of the Hunt and of War.

Worship of Wulfrus is near universal amongst warriors and hunters. His worship originated amongst hunters and spread amongst warriors.

Wulfrus is noted for his extremely rigid code of conduct and willingness to reward his most honorable followers. The "Code of the Wolf" demands honor, respect and cunning. As a result, devotees are often considered to be virtuous, trustworthy and kind. The Order of Wulfrum is noted for treating their enemies well and leaving non-combatants unscathed, but are also known for their ferocity and skill on the battlefield.

Should anyone be particularly virtuous in the eyes of Wulfrus, he will bless them with Lycanthropy.
Reformist Church

The Spear of Xathanael

A church found in Leonheim and Grona.

## History

The lands of Leonheim took well to the Elizabeten Canon compared to their neighbours. In fact, they embraced it. Following the collapse of the Tathen Empire, they were distanced from Tathen and the High Bishop. As a result, their beliefs slowly drifted.

## Beliefs

Reformist Canon is noted for being far more liberal than the Elizabeten Canon, as the lay people have far more interaction with their religion. Priests are still important for interpreting sacred scripture, but lay people are taught prayers in local languages and many rituals no longer require the presence of a clergyman. Otherwise, the Reformist Canon remains similar to its predecessor in many other aspects.

The core values of the Reformist Church are those of Liberation: persistence, autonomy, authenticity and social change.

## Structure

The High Bishop of the Reformist Sect resides in Alhavn.
The Shaded Woods

Deep within the Shaded Woods are a truly ancient civilization of Lizardfolk. The tribes within the woods tend to cooperate with each other in large alliances. The closer the tribes are to the outside world, the more civilized they tend to be. These tribes tend to trade with humans and seeing lizardfolk living in those human kingdoms is not rare. The thickly wooded region is difficult to traverse, and have contributed to the isolation of these tribes. Due to their hunting and military tactics, these lizardfolk are theorized by some scholars to be the most effective warriors on Uggiriel, and lizardfolk warriors and adventurers are often hired by lords as guards and valiant knights.

Lizardfolk technology is very simple. They didn’t discover metalworking until they were taught by outsiders, their pantheon is limited to the “old gods”, and their society is still mainly tribal. The central tribes are fiercely xenophobic, and they are incredibly violent towards any sort of trespasser. The outer tribes rarely allow other races to live with them, but they are more accepting of outside contact.

Lizardfolk culture revolves around veneration of the “Great Elder”, more commonly known as Era. They venerate him through elaborate burial rituals and through worship at  gorgeous shrines carved into the massive Greatwood trees. Instead of settling inter-tribal disagreements with war they settle it in ritualistic duels, meaning many lizardfolk are very competent at dueling.
Pitgurat

A region full of orcish tribes. While violent and occasionally dangerous, they tend not to stray too far from their territory and their conflicts are usually internal. Other countries tolerate the presence of the tribes because they don’t cause enough trouble to warrant invasion or intervention.

Orcs love to fight. It’s why the region of Pitgurat has been embroiled in an eternal war between the numerous tribes. Battle is seen as the reason for life, and to die in combat is the most honorable death one can die. Many see orcs as savages, but they have a deeply ingrained honor system, and if an orc makes a promise, he will fulfill it or die trying. However, they also hold grudges longer than any other culture. If an orc is crossed, it will not be forgotten until his great great grandchildren have died, which is partially why the region is eternally in combat.
Vymes

The God of Order and Tradition.

Despite the fact that Order is prevalent in the very fabric of creation itself, Vymes is often viewed negatively in the modern world, with much of his worship being regulated to the totalitarian state of Erhan. His association with Erhan is often cited as the main reason he's been rejected by most people. Not much is actually known about the elusive Lawmaker otherwise, as he has never been known to communicate with mortals.

The lack of religious scripture directly created or guided by Vymes has led to many interpretations and unofficial scriptures, the most notable being the "Holy Book of Laws", an Erhanian book that is equal parts state law and religious scripture. This book notably allows and sometimes even recommends slavery, and is responsible for the rigid caste system that dominates Erhanian life.
Lizardfolk

The Lizardfolk of the Shaded Woods are one of the strangest races. Hulking masses of scales and muscle, these "Lizardmen" as some call them make some of the finest warriors in all of Uggiriel. While usually savage and violent, there are a few tribes that maintain contact and often trade with nearby people.
Kobolds

Kobolds are a draconic race that lives among dragons. Before scholars began to study the dragons directly, kobolds lived in primitive tribes and worshiped the dragons they followed. However, when forced to interact with the outside world, kobolds began to integrate into regular society, though they often still lurk around dragons and their lairs.
Light Cavalry

Strong against Archers, weak against Spear Infantry

Light Cavalry are one of the two types of Cavalry Units that can be recruited from the Barracks. As one of the base units, they are immediately available from the Barracks as soon as the game begins.

As lightly-armored and swift units, they are able to wreak havoc on more lightly-armored Units. They are particularly effective when combating enemy Archer units, but are weak against Spear Infantry.

## Strategy

Light Cavalry make a good choice for quick raids with relatively high Speed and a higher Loot Capacity than most other Military Units. They also make the best choice against armies with lots of Ranged Units, as their damage multiplier allows them to deal lots of damage to an enemy's Archers.
Dwarven Standard Calendar

The Dwarven Standard Calendar was created by the dwarven scholar Ardus Kegbeard by request of the underqueen Nezzakara Caskmaster. The calendar divides the year into 12 months, each with 30 days. The calendar was actually partially derived from the Elven Calendar, though many consider the Dwarven Calendar to be much easier to work with.

The calendar has 3 months for each season, and the year begins in spring. The 12 months in order are Emerald, Jade, Malachite, Sapphire, Lazuli, Topaz, Tiger's Eye, Amber, Citrine, Opal, Moonstone and Quartz.

The years are counted from the inception of the Calendar, so the year it was developed was 0 AC (After Calendar) and any time before then is BC (Before Calendar)

## Elven Calendar

The Elven Calendar starts 4024 years before the Dwarven Standard, with the formation of the Ilysalune Confederation placed in the year 0 EC (4024 BC). There are only 4 months of the Elven Calendar, also beginning in spring. The months are Oak, Birch, Maple, and Pine.
Allenfeld

Current flag

Current holdings

A country in the Coalition of Kingdoms.

One of the poorer provinces of the homeland, Allenfeld was destitute after the Empire fractured. The old Duke Frederik Waldner attempted to hold onto what little control he had, but the peasants revolted and overthrew him in 632 AC, creating their own republic. When the Coalition was formed, Allenfeld was concerned that they might be annexed by their neighbors and be put back under a Monarchist regime, but the neighboring countries didn’t deem Allenfeld enough of a threat to bother conquering, and the republic was offered membership along with its neighbors.

The republic isn't perfect by any means, and faces a lot of corruption. Dissatisfaction with the current republican regime, many have expressed an interest in restoring a monarch to the throne.
Aasimar

Aasimar are the children of angels. Born of celestial blood, people of this race are rarely seen. Angels typically do not marry or procreate with humans, but when they do they typically do so while polymorphed as most angelic biology is incompatible with mortal biology.

Aasimar typically appear to be the race of their mother, but take on more decidedly angelic traits as they age. Softly glowing eyes and near perfect complexion and hair are typical traits of aasimar. The ability to speak celestial arrives with age, and understanding it is completely instinctual.
Orcs

Orcs are a monstrous race that live in the barren wastes of Pitgurat. While generally thought to be barbaric or savage by other races, orcs are usually very honorable and have a strict moral code that forbids theft and senseless slaughter. Orcs rarely leave Pitgurat, and an orc wandering the world is likely an oath-breaker and in exile for breaking the code.

### Code of Saghig

The Code of Saghig is a moral code and set of laws that is followed very strictly in orc society. This code forbids theft, cheating, lying, murder and breaking any promise. As such, orcs are incredibly reliable and trustworthy, if you can get one to respect you.

## Half-Orcs

### Average Lifespan

60-80 years

Very rarely, an exiled orc may choose to marry and have children with other races. Their offspring are half-orcs, who grow up to be just as large as their orcish ancestors. Some half-orcs may choose to follow the Code of Saghig, but many will simply adopt their orc parent's better traits and acclimatize to human society.
Heissler

Current flag

Current holdings

A country within the Coalition of Kingdoms.

Before the homeland fractured, the Heissler family was one of the most powerful families in the Emperor’s court. After Lorenz declared independence, the Duke rushed to claim other lands around him and split off as well. The Duchy is known for its ludicrous overspending and the lavish lifestyles of the nobility. Their membership in the Coalition is tenuous, and it is likely the Coalition will attempt to replace the Heissler family in order to avoid further conflict.
Neuhausser

Current flag

Current holdings

A country within the Coalition of Kingdoms.

The Neuhausser family is the newest of the houses of the Imperial homeland. That being said they were established in 17 AC so they aren't exactly new. The Neuhausser territories are popular for trading since they lie up river from many other countries.
Ustil

Current flag

The Magocracy of Ustil is ruled by a council of mages who elect an Archmage from among themselves. They officially control the lands around the Arcane Universities, but their hold of those lands is tenuous at best. Magic is viewed as important by many citizens, but the vast majority either have no capacity for magic or lack the knowledge to actually perform magic.

## Cult of Xhasukuar

An oddity created by the magic-obsessed society of Ustil, the otherwise reviled Xhasukuar is worshiped by a small minority of skilled necromancers.

Necromancy is not entirely outlawed in Ustil, though bodies must either be non-human or the deceased human participant must have been willing to be used in the experiment.

## Rampant Corruption

Unfortunately for the Ustilians, mages typically don't make for good governors as most are trained in the arcane arts rather than statecraft. This has led to ineffective governing processes and a large amount of corruption.

The lower class are often dissatisfied with the current state of affairs, but are brutally suppressed by the ruling magus, who often use powerful magic to put down revolts. The brutality of these incidents is often criticized heavily by many members of the international community, who see the Ustilian Government as little more than brutes and tyrants.

Underground separatist and radical political movements are common in the nation, despite the brutal crackdowns they often face. In particular, radical anti-magic sentiment has been growing in urban centres, which has led to lower literacy rates and threats of revolution.
Rinthos

## Appearances

*Furyborn*

**Rinthos** is a city in Ventera.

## Geography

A broad road leads into the city. There is a perimeter wall with a set of gates to enter the city. The city itself is a massive, clogged sprawl. An interweaving network of stone paths, wooden bridges, and twisting staircases stretch high up from the city gates. This network connects apartments and the high road to the low road. Not far from the city is the Sea of Bones. As a result of its proximity to the sea, a thin film of sand coats the crumbling roads. Canals snake through the city that smell of fish and waste.

The city contains infamous gambling pits, the most famous of which is Sanctuary. Sanctuary is a cramped and raucous city-within-a-city. It has five circular levels, lit by gas lamps at every column support. The levels look down on a floor packed with people gathered at gaming tables. On each of the mezzanines looking down over the pits are brothels.

## History

During the Third Age, refugees are crowded into the city.

## Notable Inhabitants

* Camille
* Laenys
* Lord Morbrae
Saint Tameryn

**Saint Tameryn** was one of the seven Saints. She is known as Saint Tameryn the Cunning. She is the patron saint of shadowcasters and Astavar.

## Appearance

Saint Tameryn is often depicted with daggers in her hands and shadows writhing in her dark curls. She has golden skin.

## Biography

According to *The Book of the Saints*, Saint Tameryn was an orphan and raised by a pack of wolves. Saint Tameryn condemned Wraiths to the Deep.

## Abilities

As a shadowcaster, Saint Tameryn was able to control and manipulate shadows.

## Weapons

Tameryn's main casting was a pair of daggers.

## Relationships

### Saint Nerida

Tameryn and Nerida were lovers. Saint Tameryn requested her companions help her build a private retreat below the city of Vintervok for Nerida.
The Sea Elves

A faction of sea-faring elves with mysterious origins.

## Origins

While not much is known of their origins, scholars have been able to gather some hints on where they may have originated.

Many believe that these elves originate as far back as Adesis' enlightenment of the drow, as the newly enlightened drow flooded into the surface world. During the great migration, some elves took to crossing the oceans, and learned boat-building. At some point a major conflict erupted, and it is presumed that the ancestors of the sea elves were exiled following the war.

What is known for certain is that the sea-elves took a massive Great Tree from one of the forests, and used it as a large boat and base of operations.

## Recent History - Present Day

A few hundred years after the fall of the old Tathorian Empire, the sea elves started visiting human trading ports, offering art and trade goods in return for seeds, food and produce. Originally viewed with suspicion, many refused to trade with them, but after contact with Meanor was reliably established, most people began to accept them. Despite their acceptance in human culture, the sea-elves still prefer to live in relative isolation.

Unknown to anyone but the sea elves, the old great tree still lives, though it has grown too large to move reliably. It remains in the Southern Sea as a massive, floating city bustling with life and a unique culture.

Druids form the wood of their trees into other boats or tools, while sorcerers have learned how to control the sea itself, allowing their ships to move despite having no sails.
Ydallun

> In the depths of sleep we see Them, the One who watches over us in our most vulnerable moments, the One who gives us our dreams.
>
> Kurt Von Kalb, On Ydallun, 411 AC

The Enigmatic God of Dreams and Memories.

Ydallun is the Great Dreamer, a God so elusive and bizarre that They are still sometimes believed to not even exist. This is due to the fact that Ydallun only appears in dreams and visions, and some may not even realize Their influence. What is known about Them has been compiled by communities of people piecing together details from encounters with Ydallun.

Many divination wizards believe the source of their power is Ydallun, but no evidence has been found to prove or disprove this theory.

Worship of Ydallun is typically rare due to the high barrier to entry, however some groups such as the Order of the Burning Eye dedicate themselves to Ydallun. Lizardfolk are known for their reverence of the Great Dreamer, who they believe is the emissary of the Gods.

Ydallite scripture is often rare and sparsely detailed, but what little exists is based off of dreams and visions, which brings their reliability into question.
Vulker Lordship

Angel

**Angels** are a species that lived on Avitas. They existed before humans.

## Description

Angels have the ability to mind-speak. They can also mask their presence and the presence of others. Angels are immortal and can heal themselves. There are several angelic languages. Lissar is the most basic. More difficult languages include Qaharis and Azradil. Angels have black eyes.

According to the text *And Fire Fell From the Skies*, for millennia the angels lived only in the skies. They were born from clouds, comets, and astral winds. They were luminous and ageless. The first angels studied the stars and the empirium. When they at last noticed humans, they descended to the world below. They were curious about humans, but also found them repulsive "with fleeting lives and enviable powers." When the angels descended to the world, it was called the Great Descent by humans, and it was a "rain of fire upon the world." Chaos ruled, and countries were unmade. Humans scattered, leaving the countries of Patria and Vindica free for the angels to claim as their own.

Since the Fall of the Blood Queen, it is difficult for all but the strongest angels to hold on to their human bodies because their grasp of the empirium is tenuous. When an angel loses hold of their human body it is known as a severance, and also called losing cohesion.

## Known Angels

* Corien
* Aryava
* Rahzavel
* Ravikant
* Zahra
* Ludivine Sauvillier
* Arkelion
* Razerak
* Alantiah: Corien's favorite servant
* Bazrifel: inhabited King Hallvard Lysleva

Blood Queen

The **Blood Queen** is one of two prophesied Queens.

## Description

The Blood Queen is prophesied to destroy the world. Unlike other elementals, the Blood Queen does not require a casting to access the empirium, and they have access to all the elements, not just one.

Dragonborn

Dragonborn are a unique race found in the highest of mountains. Dragonborn are descendants of usually Human arcane scholars who lived among and studied dragons. The potent magic surrounding dragons and the proximity of these scholars to this magic caused their offspring to be magically mutated. It takes several generations of children for them to become Dragonborn, but up until then the children will have notable dragon-like traits, such as scaly skin, sharper teeth or reptilian eyes. Dragonborn make excellent scholars and wizards, and often live with dragons and by extension, kobolds.
Benedican Church

Thendar, The South Star

The national church of Velenia and her subjects.

## History

Following the fall of the Tathen Empire, the lands of Velenia sought to distance themselves from their old rulers. In the city of Benedica, priests and bishops of Velenia and Lourio created a religion that was well suited to Velenia’s seafaring culture.

## Beliefs

There is no head God in the Benedican Canon, and claiming that there is a hierarchy of Gods is deemed heretical.

The core values of the Benedican church are those of Prosperity: wealth, health, beauty, diligence and business-skills.

The church is extremely rigid and traditional, barring women from priesthood and putting far less focus on Nivaran scripture. Lesser gods are far more important in the Benedican Canon, mostly due to the widespread worship of Nen of Velenia. As a result worship of saints, heroes and rulers are accepted and even encouraged by the church. Services are held mostly in Celestial, but communal prayers are spoken in local languages, meaning the theology of the church is usually not fully understood by the common people. There is no predetermined fate, and salvation from the abyss comes through effort.

## Structure

The High Bishop of the Benedican Church resides in Benedica.
