The Milkwoods

**The Milkwoods** are a forested area in the southeast of Goelyn's Highlands. Within the forest sits Milkwood Manor, the seat of the House of the same name. The forest is known for the milky sap that comes from its trees, used for brewing and popular in eastern cuisine. The Milkwoods were once much larger, possibly connected to the Forest of Forbidden Sanctums. However, heavy lumber production has depleted much of the forest. The eastern outskirts of the Milkwoods touch the East Sea.
Elasirhyn

An **elasirhyn** is an endangered mammal found in Goelyn's Highlands. It is one of the largest animals in Ralanos, with a massive horn that protrudes well off of its snout. Today, zoolers believe there are less than fifty wild elasirhyn, as the beast has become a prized possession in illegal poaching, mainly for their husks.

Another reason zoolers believe they are endangered is due to their diet, which consists mainly of leaves from the Highland Cypress tree. While the leaves grow in abundance in the eastern Highlands, they provide very little nutritional value, leaving elasirhyn weak and fragile as they grow in age.

## Description and Characteristics

The name elasirhyn translates to "massive horn" in Ralanic, and they were first found predominantly east of Lake Goelyn, and as far south as Kiryas Town. Their population plummeted after the 700's UA, and they soon could only be found south of Triscall. Incredibly large and quite nimble for their size, elasirhyn are tetrapods who feature round bodies, stumpy legs, a long bushed tail, and a protruding head that contains a large horn from their snout. This horn is their primary weapon and tool for most things, like digging.

Their skin is usually gray with occasional patches of black and brown, and a black horn that is usually asymmetrical. Nearly all elasirhyn horns are different in shape. The horn protrudes extremely far off of their head, which can sometimes cause infants to fall forward.

## Behavior

While they would appear aggressive, elasirhyn usually only attack if threatened, and there have been cases in the past of peaceful interaction with humans over time.
Kaymsy

**Kaymsy** (Japanese: **不器用男**, *Bukiyotoko*) is a Rank S Restoration-attribute Classic Yo-kai of the Charming tribe.

## How to Befriend

You will need to complete the Post-Game quest: Red Box Island. You will need to visit Excellent Tower at night. You must obtain the keys by finding them in a trash can. You must go to the top and then find the man that gives you the Red Boxes. He will then reveal himself to be the Yo-kai Kaymsy. You must then fight him. There is a very rare possibility after the fight he will befriend you even with poking and food. Then he can be fought once each day until you obtain him.
Horace Glendale

**Horace Glendale** was an explorer, sea captain, and navigator, who spent most of his life in the Jaded Claw Isles and the western shores of Ralanos.

He has since been named a Latter King, an ancient regime of men classified as being "significant, impactful, or vital to the growth of Ralanos". Both Glendale Bay, and the town of Glendale Cove, were named after him.

## History

Born in Swannsong, he first took interest in seafaring after making voyages to and from Swann Island to the mainland as a child. His father, Robert Glendale, first took him sailing when he was ten years old. After learning of the large uninhabited island of Cordall, Horace made it a personal goal to sail to the island, a goal he wouldn't reach until the age of forty-five.

In his later teenage years, he worked as a dockhand for "Huskbelly", a boar meat coop from Swann Island who often made trips to Jaded Claw. There, he mentored under Peter Wetchnik, who taught him how to sail on a swift vessel alone.
Rubius Mordem

**Rubius Mordem** is an extremely rare fungus found within the deep caves of Mara's Ridge. Originally discovered by Oliver Fenn in 896 UA, it was not registered into the Fauna and Flora Index until 899 UA. It is extremely poisonous, while looking very similar to other non-poisonous mushrooms.

### Characteristics

The mushroom features a white cap with gray streaks leading to its stalk. It has a large gray ring leading to a brown volva. It is an average sized fungus, and grows predominantly in moist places within the caves. It is capable of killing a full-grown rat, and an olivara.
Corgan Lomunsey

**Corgan Lomunsey** is the Lord of House Lomunsey, the Ruling House of Shell's Port. He has been a longtime advocate of the Lower Votlen Pass, a road that would extend from Ragesun Road near Veltruve, to Shell's Port on the coast of Turtle Bay.

While the Lower Votlen Pass has been a topic of discussion in the Royal Council for decades, the plan has never been signed off upon by the King. Much of western Ralanos that is not a part of the Jaded Claw Mountains/Isles has pleaded for the road to be built. Most notably, in 1128 UA, Corgan Lomunsey traveled to the capital with fellow Lords Mason Munsey and Bryson Addams to formally request the plan to be accepted by the King. King Artemis Ralan agreed to begin construction once the conversion of Veltruve from town to city was completed.
Outskirts

The **Forest of Forbidden Sanctums Outskirts**, referred to as "The Outskirts", is the largest sub-region in Ralanos. The Outskirts encompasses any land outside of the Forest of Forbidden Sanctums north of Nehsog in the west and Ameyl in the east. The sub-region also includes the Isles of Noor and the Mandeville Islands. The capital of Ralanos, Yovaris, is found in the Outskirts.

The Outskirts was created in 639 UA, and has remained a strict precedent in Ralanic Law by contract created at the turn of the ages.
Pica

**Pica** is a Bellowbrain magpie belonging to Beth Levington. She is one of Beth's two magpies, the other being Cissa. The smaller of the two, Pica has a white body, with a black head and dark blue wings. She often sings a melody that Beth believes is an omen, though she does not know who's.

When Beth found the two hatchilings, Pica was the first she named. She has since become the less attached of the two, spending more time outdoors than indoors. Pica's favorite trinkets to give Beth are various coins found throughout Nezlock. The coins are usually kept in a small purple pouch, which Pica likes to pick up and carry around when in Beth's room.

In *Brewing of a Different Storm*, Beth witnesses Pica make a sound she has never made to Grand Madrant Brock Soleloc, before quickly flying out of the room. The sound frightens both Beth and her uncle tremendously.
Pepperden

"Pepperden" is a trading and farming coop operated out of Centerden and Flea's Port in the western Lock. The coop farms and trades various types of peppers, including chili and ghost. The coop was created in 947 UA by the longtime owners of Flea's Island and its farms, House Sepie, where the Isles take their name.

The current owner of the coop is Mayren Sepie, who is also the head trader for the one and only commodity the coop produces. This labels the coop as self-sufficient, as the supply chain features no trade agreements. While the peppers are farmed on the Isles, the coop's headquarters are in Centerden, some fifteen leagues from the Western Lock Road. Pepperden is the largest producer of peppers in Ralanos.
Cassandra the Moon Child

**Cassandra the Moon Child**, also referred to as **Cassie of the Deeps** or **Cassie**, is a legendary humanoid believed to roam the shores of the Jaded Claw Isles.

She has been subject to numerous tales and folklore throughout the land, and is usually seen as a bringer of bad omens. However, many Claws idolize her, and wish for her arrival in hopes of good fortune, amongst other desires.

## Appearance and Character

She is usually depicted as either a young child or a mermaid. Some mentions include her to be a priestess or witch of an older age, though she's mainly viewed as innocent and docile. When depicted as a child, she is usually donned in a milk white gown with long blonde hair. Sailors of the Isles claim to have seen her in the form of a sea creature, usually singing a siren's song to wreck ships in the West Sea.
Elke Park

**Elke Park** is a woodland grove and forest in northern Ralanos, just south of Lake Elke. It designates the northernmost extent of the Forest of Forbidden Sanctums, and features a number of cliffs, plateaus, and jagged mountainsides. The Park is also the only known area to contain Prall, one of the largest mammals in Ralanos.

## History

The town, lake, and park with the name Elke were settled in the early 200's UA by Elkest Yarlen, an explorer who mapped out the majority of the north-central Outskirts. The original expedition that led to the discovery of the forest and lake began at the northwestern extent of the Forest of Forbidden Sanctums, where Yarlen followed the forest's perimeter and reached the grove that protruded north. Together with fifteen men, Yarlen reached the southern shores of the lake after traversing difficult terrain. The squadron then created a small settlement on a bulge near the lake's left center.

The settlement was originally meant for fur trapping and hunting, as the surrounding grove provided easy access to small and medium game. However, the presence of what are now called Prall made hunting difficult, as the creatures were incredibly aggressive and territorial. Efforts were made to hunt the Prall, but they led to a number of casualties.
Nosereave Wine Company

Faushus Vhant (winemaker, proprietor)

The **Nosereave Wine Company** is a family-owned producer and distributor of wine located in the Outskirts. Founded in 933 UA by Robert Ledway, the company started after Robert purchased a large estate from his late stepfather in the roaring plains of the southwestern Outskirts.

Today, the company farms three estate vineyards, all in the Outskirts. The largest, Nosereave Estates, features a small village known for its tourism and shops. The current owner, Robben Ledway IV, also acts as the company's head winemaker and co-manager.

Many wine aficionados have declared the 1116 UA Nosereave Blue as the world's greatest wine. It is made strictly with opal grapes and revverdrop seeds, which are farmed only by Nosereave Wine Company. The denial of access to the grape strand has caused a stir within the winemaking commodity of Ralanos.
Gyle

**Gyle** is the secluded city of the Gyleans, situated in the far eastern reaches of Goelyn's Highlands on the peninsula known as the Edge of the World. Both the city and its inhabitants are not recognized under the Royal Regime, and it is the only settlement in the land that is considered hostile to the realm.

The city evolved from an extended period of outcasted prisoners by the Royal Regime from the Age of Beginnings to the 400's UA, when the population of the outpost was able to overtake its hold by the Royal Army. A plethora of small battles were fought, but the outcasts were able to defend themselves, and formed the city of Gyle in 435 UA.
Finley Gardens

**Finley Gardens** is an enclosed estate and event center in the Lock, less than a day's ride north of Duzlock. The property sits along the shoreline of Duzlock Bay, where the water begins to narrow toward the Vhysalin River estuary.

Built in 941 UA, it was originally used as a formal center for Duz Wing events, such as promotions, funerals and weddings involving soldiers. Today, it is available to the public, though the prices have seen quite an increase as the property has been upgraded in a variety of ways. Thus, it is used primarily for wealthy families and noblehouses.

## Layout

The property features a twelve-bedroom shattoh, accompanied by two guest houses, four stables, a bathhouse, and an underground bunker now converted into a large wine cellar. Roaring gardens occupy the outside, with a variety of elegant plants and trees brought in from around the land.

### Shattoh

The largest structure on the property, the Finley Shattoh was the first constructed building, and remains nearly untouched, with little to no renovations over the better part of two centuries. The high walls and squared design were purposefully built to look similar to that of a military barracks, though over the years, renovations have been made to "modernize" the look. Still, no structural changes have been made, and most changes have been entirely aesthetic.

A large foyer greets guests, with a marble four-sided fountain crafted in 948 UA by Theebus Malorne. The main hall features a raised glass ceiling, providing plenty of natural light, a grand dining table set for twenty, two statues of Varis Ralan and Phasyn Logaryn, and a number of side tables and chairs. A massive stone fireplace sits along the left wall from the entrance, capable of roaring fires.

In a lowered portion of the shattoh lies the den, with a variety of couches, chairs and loungers surrounded by tall glass windows from floor to ceiling.

There are twelve bedrooms in the shattoh, with two grand bedrooms far larger than the others, which are all about the same size
Mawca

A **Mawca**, also known as a **Mawca Cappy** or simply a **Mawcappy**, is a small species of cappy monkeys native to Mazlock Tropics. It is easily distinguished by its white face and blood-curdling cry. Full grown Mawca usually reach about knee high of the average male, while some can reach waist high or taller. They are carnivores, feasting mainly on insects, including roaches, beetles, manthises, and conterbugs.
Seldem River

The **Seldem River** is a river in the Outskirts, flowing north from Vhant Lake and the northern portions of Nosereave Acres. Seldem River is known for its peaceful flux and beautiful surroundings. The course features a number of rushes and waterfalls, the largest near the confluence with Vhant Run.

The river has many tributaries, including one from Vhant Lake as well as Lake Whey, the river's main source. Near its end, it flows through Fort Seldem and the Northern Pass, before spilling into the North Sea.
Morose Breach

**Morose Breach** is a cave and emerald mine in Mazlock Tropics. It is one of the only caves in the region, found in its northern exterior, close to the border of the Lock. Discovered in 888 UA, it is now primarily an emerald mine, though some of its flora is endemic and is sometimes harvested for trade.

The cave takes its name from the dense layer of morose, mostly black, that enwraps the surrounding area. As a result, spelunkers were required to take extensive precaution when first mapping the cave, as the plant is poisonous to the touch and harmful to inhale.
House Sonder

**House Sonder** is a wealthy Sworn House in Duzlock. They are Sworn to House Feely, the family of Vassal Elwyn Logaryn's wife, Isabelle.

## History

The family stemmed from two Houses from the Lock splitting apart around the late 600's. House Ryndwell and House Undurrs had been brought together by a wedded couple, both families large and wealthy.

After a falling out with the two fathers of the spouses, which resulted in a violent outrage, the family faced a major schism, with members of both families being split on sides. Those who chose to side with Lord Ryndwell or Lord Undurrs swore allegiance to the resulting House. Paull Undurrs was the eldest of his name to swear to Lord Ryndwell, and was allowed to change his surname to Sonder by request. He faced much scrutiny by his former family, and was antagonized for years while living as a courier in the Lock.

Today, House Sonder is known for their construction of mausoleums and grave shrines. They work mainly in the south, but have ventured north for notable deaths, including Curtis Arbin most recently.

## In the Books

***Brewing of a Different Storm***

House Sonder is mentioned as a possible ally to fight for the Duz Wing.

***Raining on a Tasteless World***

Derrick Sonder is awarded a lump sum of gold as a reward for providing transporting wagons and carts to the Duz Wing during the Southern War. He immediately sets aside gold for the fallen Duz soldiers, which earns the House an honorary Chancellor Cup and Tourney.

Kent meets Olec Sonder in the Red Eyed Den, a brothel owned by the young scholar and bachelor. Olec becomes interested in the prospect of earning the ruling rights to either Nezlock or Mazlock.
Holger Terred

**Holger Terred** is a former Drant of the Ruling House Carmador of Longview, and a longtime friend of Madrant Quentin Ciderian. He currently resides in Sintray's Fjord, working as a courier.

Quentin often describes him as "the grossest man that has ever lived." His hygiene is horrid, despite not being poor. He is fat, short, and stumpy, smelling of "something rotten" at most times. Holger was born in Longview, to wealthy parents who gave all their wealth to Holger's sisters upon death. Despite his appearance, he is quite the intelligent man, graduating from the Drant Academy of Duzlock at twenty-one. His father was a coop owner in the Sevreanic League, operating most of the western Lock.
Mazlock Tropics

Wetlands (Far South)

Swampland (Sweetwater Peninsula)

**Mazlock Tropics**, or simply, the **Tropics**, is a region in the far southwest of Ralanos. The peninsula juts off from the mainland at the narrowing of the southwestern Lock, and extends south toward the South Sea, and east toward the Sweetwater Peninsula, which shapes Duzlock Bay in the west. The largest city, Mazlock, sits in the north-central section of the region.

The climate on the peninsula is harsh and volatile, especially in the change of seasons, when a large portion of the south floods into the sea. Much of the mainland features a large rainforest, with towering trees, ridden with fens and marshes and dangerous fauna.
Nehsog

A **nehsog** is a large porcine animal that is most closely related to wild boars. However, unlike boar, nehsogs feature two pronged horns on the sides of their heads, as well as the standard set of tusks. Nehsogs are also significantly larger than boar, and can reach the height of a grown man. They are predominantly found in Goelyn's Highlands, but some species such as the Swamp Nehsog reside in the Votlen, and very sparsely in the Outskirts.
Gordan Alswither

**Gordan Alswither** is a knight in the Goelyn Army, and a prominent Skiddam player for the Goelyn Cavaliers. He has won four tournament championships with the club, six Skiddam Player of the Year Awards, and is widely considered one of the greatest Skiddam players of all time.

His father, Albert, was a former player for the Cavs, and a Commander for the Goelyn Army for a short time.
Laydran Faith

The **Laydran Faith**, or the **Laydra Na'frota** (Ralanic), is the main religion of the Royal System of Ralanos. It was brought to the continent during the Arrival of the First Man, but its exact origins are to this day unknown. The faith is dominant in the north of the land, with a number of churches and temples within Yovaris. It is not worshipped by the Wexlaren, and scarcely worshipped in the southeastern parts of Goelyn's Highlands, as well as around Mazlock Tropics. There are many exceptions in these areas, however.

The religion worships the God, or Goddess, Laydra, who is believed to have brought the human race to Ralanos. While still strong, new discoveries and technologies have turned people, including the Order of Drants, away from the faith, and more towards science.

## History

The faith originated with the Arrival of the First Man, who scholars claim to have already followed the religion upon settling on the continent. The religion spread as humans moved south, with temples being built in most prominent locations, including Goelyn, upon Ubix's Conquest. When the first contact was made between humans and Wexlaren, little was discussed about religion, as the language barrier was still strong. As the two races learned the others culture, it was agreed that no religion should bind them, and the Wexlaren were allowed to continue their faith of the Feral Being.

By 400 UA, the faith was widely worshipped, and reached its peak during the mid-century, during what is known as the "Golden Wave of Laydra". During the period, a number of unconfirmed claims were brought forth to the King regarding sightings of ghosts, spirits and other paranormal phenomenons, with a hefty majority involving deceased family members and loved ones. The claims were met with a sense of confirmation by townsfolk, who started to believe more strongly of an afterlife, and a purpose as to why they were brought to the continent by Laydra. However, many felt threatened or scared, and opted to move away from the areas of claims to "safer" locations.

In the following decades, in and around the years 500-800 UA, the Laydran Faith saw a steady decline in worshippers, as science had provided various answers to persisting questions, such as seasons, creature habits, and causes of death. Still, followers of the religion continued to support their cause, claiming an "assured prophecy" that their goddess exists and will show herself in time.
Elizabeth Ralan

**Elizabeth Ralan**, nee **Lifeson**, is the current Queen of Ralanos and Lady of the Royal House Ralan. She was born and raised in Lifeson Manor, the only daughter to the now-Grand Madrant Vincent Lifeson.

## Appearance and Character

Elizabeth is of average female height and frame, topped with a wavy bed of chestnut hair that runs to her shoulder blades. She was subject to much admiration in her early years, particularly as a result of her wealthy Grandfather, Vernon, who died when she was thirteen. Today, most of her remaining admiration can perhaps be credited to her royalty.

As a Queen, she's been praised highly for her role in many new regimes and laws with her husband. She has also made tremendous efforts for the Baron School, restructuring the all-male institution's agendas and revitalizing interest in studies for many Yovaris townsfolk. She is semi-fluent in Ralanic, having been taught by the King himself. Aside from her engagements in law, she is a caring mother who also partially teaches her two youngest children, Waldor and Melissa. However, her relationship with the King has taken a substantial hit in recent years for unclear reasons.

## History

Born in Lifeson Manor to Vincent Lifeson and Paola Mormare, she has one younger brother, Arnold, who is also a Madrant of House Ralan. As a young girl, she gained interest in the Royal Houses System of Ralanos, and soon dreamed of studying law.

She was quite formal from a young age, and joined a number of women's groups in Ayteria in her teen years. She lived in Ayteria for some time, before returning to Lifeson Manor to be formally educated by her father. Her Grandfather, Vernon Lifeson, was a wealthy business investor who owned multiple businesses in the northern Outskirts, but died when she was thirteen. She earned a great deal of wealth following his death and partially invested it in a handful of coops, though the investment led to a loss.

She met then-Prince Artemis Ralan II following a scholarly lecture at the Lifeson Manor School of Northern Diplomacy. They wed less than a year later, and had their first son, Alexander, two years after. Together, they have four kids, Alexander, Petyr, Melissa and Waldor, the latter of which are twins. Her most recent engagement in royal law was a partial rewriting of the Royal Drant Order code, at the request of her father.
Theresa Groveheart

**Theresa Groveheart** was a former Sodrant for the now extinct House Carpenny, who has become quite famous postmortem. The town of Theresa, as well as Lake Theresa and the River Theresa were all named after her, chosen by her grandson, Coran Groveheart, who settled the village in the late 800's UA.

Many claim Theresa Groveheart to have been a mystic, who's energy and power were influential on nearly everyone she met. Historians say she blessed the waters of Lake Theresa, then named Blue Lake, giving them their pristine conditions. Described as a "healer with insurmountable powers", many ill city-folk would travel to her home in Cellade to be treated. Some also claim that she was psychic, predicting events before they happened, and being able to tell what one was thinking.

She died in her early 70's, after a series of three crippling diseases that deteriorated her being, leaving her fragile and weak. She beat the first two diseases, only solidifying many claims of her supernatural persona, before finally succumbing to the third. A large shrine and fountain has been placed in Theresa, drawing travelers from across the land.
Ironside Hold

**Ironside Hold** is a fortress and small town on the intersection of the Hart Road and the South Runlock Pass, a few leagues north of Southport. It is the seat of House Ironside, a long-time sworn house to House Logaryn.

The town is well known in the south for its production and distribution of iron, and features a small coop in the Sevreanic League specifically for the good. The Keep itself features a mine that can only be entered from inside, perhaps a possible origin for the House name.
Bernic

B**ernic**is an aromatic resin exuded from the bark of Wexar Trees, used in making varnish and as a flavoring. Originally used as a sweetener, it is now primarily used in woodworking and carpentry. Because of its rarity, it is considered a novelty material, used only by the most renowned of crafters.

Wexar trees grow only in the southern Forest of Forbidden Sanctums, in an area south of Fadenwood known as Faden's Hollow. The area is ridden with wolves and bears, and even the occasional seffi; as a result, not only is bernic hard to find, but it is dangerous to obtain.

## History

Bernic was first documented by humans around 300 UA as a trading good from the Wexlaren, shortly before the First Laren Wars. Following the war, humans began harvesting the material on their own after discovering its location.

Bernic was used in cooking when it was first mass harvested, after discovering it grew most abundantly following the end of Northstream. However, the amounts were greatly depleted in a short time, causing a shift from a flavoring into a crafting material.
Revverdrop

A **revverdrop** is a small fruit, considered a berry, from the vines of the plant of the same name. The fruits are octahedron shaped, known for their ridged corners and for their consistent shape. While the fruits are edible, revverdrop seeds hold more value as they are much sweeter in taste and better for blending. As a result, the fruits themselves are seldom sold or grown at all other than to supply more seeds.

Revverdrop seeds are used in the making of wine - an accidental discovery made by Robben Ledway II of the Nosereave Wine Company in 1089 UA. Since, they have been used for wines by other popular companies, like E.C Stone Vineyards and Nelson Gripe Co.

Both the seeds and the fruit are aphrodisiacs. The Nosereave Wine Company recently released a new baked caramel candy that is made with the oil from the seeds. They are a sought after delicacy among the upper class and found only in Nosereave Estates.
House Bellaraine

**House Bellaraine** is a Sworn House from the Western Lock. They are Sworn to House Oden, the Ruling House of Oden Town along the coast of Duzlock Bay. Derek Bellaraine is the Lord of the House, to be succeeded by his eldest son, Derek II.

## History

The House is known for a debacle in 1082 UA, when members of the House were a part of a scandalous trading agreement and binding contract with multiple coops in the Western Lock. The contract led to a major investigation, and a suspension by the Sevreanic League.

House Bellaraine, as well as three other prominent trading houses, appealed the suspension, on claims that they in no way violated the terms of the Sevreanic League Ordinance. The investigation began on suspicion that a member of the house, Denner Bellaraine, was a coop owner, as the Sevreanic League forbids coinciding with the Royal System. As House Bellaraine was a Sworn House to the Odens, they were not permitted to be intertwined with the League.

The incident ultimately led to the Sworn House Agreement, a law in the Sevreanic League Ordinance that permits Sworn Houses to have relations with coops.
Sendric Levington

**Sendric Levington**is the younger brother of Overseer Jonas Levington. He works as an advisor, living with Jonas' family in Good Land's End, the ancestral home of the Overseer of Nezlock.

Folks often say that Sendric and Jonas look like twins, but Sendric is shorter and has a rounder face. His hair is brown, and he is a few pounds overweight. Four years younger than Jonas, he originally worked as a distributor under his brother's coop, "Westward", selling mainly linens and textiles. He eventually became the main merchant of linens and threads for "Westward", controlling much of the commodity within Nezlock and Hall's Coast.

In *Brewing of a Different Storm*, Sendric acts as close to a Speechman as House Levington has, however Jonas had previously refused him the position because he felt it "unnecessary".
Dante Wilds

The **Dante Wilds**, or **Dante Wilds Park**, is a forest grove and extensive hunting grounds in northern Ralanos, bordering the Forest of Forbidden Sanctums to the north. The area is known for its high population of deer, rabbit, quail, and other small game, and is a popular area for hunters and trappers.

The name is derived from Dante Wood, a hunter who bought the land and opened the park in 767 UA. The town of Dante's Park sits near the northern extent of the area, featuring a number of hunter's cabins and inns. The wilds extend south until the border of the Forest, which is defined by the great line of massive trees bordering the areas.

Many accounts of mystical sightings have arose from the area, mainly toward the "Feral Being", a legendary creature in Wexlaren folklore who is said to have crafted the continent, and created the race.
Snarljaw

A **snarljaw** is a medium-sized reptile found almost exclusively in Mazlock Tropics. Snarljaws are most closely related to alligators, but are much shorter in length. The sigil of House Garth, Ruling House of Mazlock, features a green snarljaw on a moss green field, speckled with blue raindrops.

They have massive mouths and jaws that can snap shut in fragments of a second, making them one of the most dangerous creatures in the Tropics. They are fast, aggressive, and non-territorial, causing them to sometimes venture too close to any of the three main settlements in the region. They also will periodically venture outside of the Tropics, but the settlement, Shieldjaw, was built to protect them from roaming farther north.

Within the Tropics, the largest snarljaw population can be found in and around Lake Sweetwater. They tend to feed on small lizards, snakes, and rodents, but have been known to attack mossfens, creepers, and in rare cases, lurkers. The Votlen snarljaw is the only other species of snarljaws in Ralanos, with less than one hundred found within the Votlen.

Nassey Triangle

The **Nassey Triangle** is the name for the area of Goelyn's Highlands between the towns of Jaeldt, Mavrick Ranch, and Sue Springs. Goelyn is often considered part of the triangle, more frequently in recent times. The large town of Cellade also sits within the triangle.

The area became famous throughout the land and earned its name in 887 UA as a result of a small war fought between the rivaling families of House Ives and House Medger. Conflict arose after a severe drought had greatly depleted the quality and quantity levels of the Vhysalin River, leaving the water undrinkable and full of parasites. As the farming Houses required water for their cattle, tensions rose when both found their answering source to be the town of Sue Springs.

Today, the triangle holds a modest portion of the population of Goelyn's Highlands, at around 5,000.
Dipler's Wolves

**Dipler's Wolves** were a band of nine mixed-blooded children, whose births came as a result of a small trapper group from Isshnu integrating themselves into the city of Woodhaven in the early 300's UA.

The offspring were the first of their kind, a genetic mix between the two races. Of the nine offspring, only one was female. The subsequent reveal of their identity to the Royal Family a decade later led to a nationwide search for the children, and eventually brought on the First Laren Wars in 326 UA.

Today, the Wolves have developed a legendary status, often the subject of folklore tales and stories pertaining to the famed warrior Dipler, who notoriously took the children under his guardianship and led them to safety and freedom.

## History

Around 315 UA, a group of twelve trappers from Isshnu made contact with the Wexlaren, and eventually integrated themselves into the city of Woodhaven, living peacefully with the race. While some Wexlaren were suspicious, the trappers proved themselves trustworthy and compassionate, and within four years, nine of the trappers had engaged sexually with Wexlaren females.

The resulting offspring were the first unauthorized mix between the two races, an action that went against the Royal Offspring Law that was created in the mid 200's UA. As many of the Wexlaren were unaware of this law, the actions were generally disregarded within Woodhaven.

A decade later, the trapper group was identified by a scouting brigade of Goelyn soldiers doing a check up in Woodhaven, and the children were soon revealed to authorities. Word quickly spread to then-King Aroldis Ralan, who reacted harshly to the news. He demanded the children be captured and potentially killed, failing to give specific reason other than enforcing the rather ambiguous Royal Offspring Law. The eventual turmoil between races created by this demand, as well as the execution of the trappers, led to the First Laren Wars, and the children soon fled the city and into the Forest.

While much of the ensuing history is unclear, legends state that the children were taken under the control of a man named Dipler, who had lived unaccompanied in the southern Forest after withdrawing from society. He is said to have led the children, who became his "wolves", to freedom, fending off numerous attempts of capture by the Royal and Goelyn Armies. The children, who were believed to have pertained the Feral Touch, rejoined society inconspicuously, and lived out their lives throughout the land. As it can be assumed they may have created offspring of their own, the genetic mix of races very much likely dispersed, leading to a multitude of people claiming to have inherited the Touch, all the way up until present times.
Light Oil

**Light Oils** are the finished combinations of crafting ingredients that have completed the down dropping process. These ingredients can include resins, plants and minerals, and other natural materials in Ralanos. Most crafting oils require a solvent, or base liquid, in the down dropping process - these liquids are usually water, solvent water, or alkaline.

Unlike heavy or mid oils, light oils complete the down dropping process significantly faster, as the ingredients used are usually less viscous and consist of easier materials to break down. Most light oils will be completed within a day's time, some taking less than an afternoon to complete. Light oils are used in a variety of ways, from furnishing to coating to medicinal use to incense burning.

Lake Theresa

**Lake Theresa** is the smallest of the Tri Lakes in east-central Ralanos. The lake is one of the sources for the Vhysalin River, and sits south of Laren Lake and the Laren Connect.

The lake was named after Theresa Groveheart, a sacred woman who historians claim blessed the waters, giving them their clarity and pristine conditions. The River Theresa is also named after her.
Glendale Bay

**Glendale Bay** is a bay in the West Sea. It is formed by the Jaded Claw Mountains to the north and east, and the Jaded Claw Isles to the west. To the south, the Glendale Inlet runs a few leagues until it juts west near Rodgen Peaks, spilling into the sea. The bay is also known for its depth, as sailors often call it "the black bowl", or "the Glendale Abyss".

Known for its fishing and clamming, the bay is extremely difficult to traverse to and from, as passing through the Glendale Inlet requires heavy maintenance and terrific crewmanship as a result of heavy currents and tidal forces. However, the bay has some of the most desirable aquatic life in the land, including spadefish, breckenfish, and the rare mirassin turtle.

## History

The bay was named after Horace Glendale, a Latter King who was one of the first explorers of the Jaded Claw Isles. He was also one of the few to voyage on the "West Gorrager", a swift vessel that featured other famous explorers such as Morris Rodgen, Sintray Carmador, and Reese Maybrin, all of whom have named settlements along the western shores of Ralanos.

The bay was originally discovered by land while exploring the peninsulas of the Jaded Claw Isles. A settlement, Glendale Cove, was founded in 567 UA, overlooking the bay on the point where it meets the Glendale Inlet. After discovering the treacherous navigation through the inlet, most fishermen settled in Glendale Cove, docking from its shores to fish in the bay. After a few years, the town's population had grown and it was recognized as a town under the Royal System.
Yellow Hills

**Yellow Hills**is a small town on the border of Goelyn's Highlands and the Forest of Forbidden Sanctums. It is the seat of House Carper. The town takes its name from the nearby rolling hills that are tinted yellow by the highlands to the south.

In the center of town sits a dilapidated fortress, once used as a holding point during the Second Laren Wars. The town is built around the fortress, and many claim it to be haunted.
Nezlock

Ruler of the Lock Cities

**Nezlock** is a city in the Lock. It is one of the three Lock Cities, located in the eastern portion of the region, at the end of the Nezlock Inlet.

It is the seat of House Levington, who occupies the city as the Overseeing House, led by Jonas Levington. Along with Mazlock, it is officially ruled by House Logaryn of Duzlock, a tradition created since the city's creation.

Nezlock is known for its trade and its involvement in the Sevreanic League. It is also known for its pivotal location in the southeastern section of Ralanos, in particular, its protection from the Land of One Thousand Plagues, and from the South Sea. The Nezlock Inlet reaches its end at the southern border of the city, connected by the Inlet Steps, a popular tourist destination.

Following the Turning of the Overseers, House Levington was placed under much scrutiny from Houses across the south; these houses claimed that Jonas Levington was given the position strictly out of economic benefits from House Logaryn. To this day, House Levington does not know why that was their fault.
William Boyce

Lord **William "Bill" Boyce** was a former Lord of House Boyce, who gained notoriety in the south after causing the Battle at the Harbor. He was married to Reyanna Boyce, with whom he had five children, including William Boyce II, a strong advocate for the disbandment of the Sevreanic League.

### Incident at Boyce Harbor

In 1040 UA, Bill Boyce denied access past his seat of Boyce Harbor to a small fleet of five trading vessels. The vessels were delivering a variety of seafood, shellfish, and fishing bait to Nezlock from Port Lanebridge. All of the goods were being traded as part of contracts between coops. After being denied access, the ships first tried to sail west to dock at Maynard Hall, but Bill Boyce confronted the distributors and claimed they were illegally sailing up the inlet.
Shell's Port

**Shell's Port** is a town in the Lower Votlen, on the innermost shores of Turtle Bay. It acts as an important waypoint between the Jaded Claw Isles and Ragesun Road. Because the journey in either direction is extremely difficult, most travelers in the town are well-versed traders and distributors alike. The Ruling House of the town is House Lomunsey.

The town has very few permanent residents, with most being long-staying traders and merchants, acting as either middle-men, or bundlers for a distributing line in various coops. Shell's Port is also important for various fishing and shellfish coops in towns like Fairacre, Munsey, and Oyster Point, trying to bring products to Ragesun Road.
Serin Arbin

**Serin Arbin** is the eldest daughter of Lord Curtis Arbin and Sayvin Elouese. She is the current heir to Kaladan, however she currently splits ruling rights of the city with her sisters, Silsin and Soetin, as Princesses.

In *Brewing of a Different Storm*, she is arranged to wed Prince Alexander Ralan, which leads to conflict between the two Houses.

## Appearance and Character

Serin earned many of her looks from her father's side, such as her strawberry blonde hair and taut jawline. She is the tallest of the three princesses, though still lacks greatly in height. Along with her sisters and mother, she is well-proportioned and is often marveled upon.

Serin is smart and charming. She is perhaps the most "lady-like" of the Arbin princesses, taking interest in cooking, sowing, embroidery and dancing. Until recently, she had been seeing Willem "Will" Dorris, a young man who's father works for the Royal Trading League in Kaladan.

### Alias

Sweet SerinStrawberry

***Brewing of a Different Storm***

Serin is excited at the news of traveling to Yovaris, but questions why her mother neglected to tell her earlier.

In Yovaris, she awkwardly convenes with the Ralan boys and Jay Gyldipas. Knowing she most likely will marry Alexander, she focuses her attention on him.

Back in Kaladan, she attempts to flirt with Alexander, much to the disgust of Silsin. At a private celebration for Soetin, she meets Sir Chester Arrington, the winning knight in the tournament's jousting event. The two connect instantly, before being interrupted by Soetin's dog, Queenie.
Sweetwater Peninsula

The **Sweetwater Peninsula** is the name given to the northeastern portion of Mazlock Tropics, where the land extends into the South Sea, shaping Duzlock Bay. The only other settlements in the Tropics besides Mazlock are found on the peninsula, including Raintown, the barracks and fort used for the Maz Wing.

The thick jungle of the tropics clears away about halfway up the banks of Lake Sweetwater, leading to marshy fields and a number of fens. During Northstream, Lake Sweetwater floods without fail, resulting in a large migration of wildlife southwest, and off of the peninsula.

On the northern tip of the peninsula sits The Docks, the town and port most travelers arrive in while heading to Mazlock from the Bay. The town of Sweetwater is located on the easternmost tip of the peninsula, and acts as a gate into the Bay from the South Sea.
Jincara

A **jincara** is a large endangered mountainous cat primarly found in Armon's Ridge, with a very small number located in Solace Ridge. They were once found throughout the Jaded Claw Mountains, and even the Vhysalin Cliffs, though the species has dwindled over the last century as a result of illegal poaching and game hunting.
Opal Grapes

**Opal grapes** are a strand of grapes currently farmed only by the Nosereave Wine Company. Originally discovered along the banks of Lake Vhant, the grape was quickly used to create the Vhantlin Winery. Known for its deep blue color, the grape often features light blue and yellow fibers when ripe.

Discovered in 1048 UA by Paul Vhant, the grape was used by House Vhant to start a small farm and wine company, the Vhantlin Winery near the family's seat, Vhant Lake. Despite minor success, Paul Vhant, heir to the House, offered a contract to House Ledway for access to the strand in return for a share in the Nosereave Company. it was soon displayed in secret to Robert Ledway VII, who was, at the time, the owner of the company. Wine connoisseurs and historians say that Robert Ledway had one sip of the wine, placed the chalice down, and asked Paul Vhant for a quill and ink to sign the contract.

Over the next few years, House Vhant worked closely with the Nosereave Wine Company, acting as the main producers and farmers of Opal grapes for the business. In 1089 UA, Robben Ledway II accidentally discovered an aromatic fusion between Opal grapes and Revverdrop seeds, which when blended, gave the wine an earthier taste, and a fuller body. It also appeared to have a reaction with the open air, giving the wine a deep blue tint only once it had been poured. It was then named Nosereave Blue, one of the few wines to not include the type of grape in its name.

Today, the grapes are only used to create two types of wines, the Vhantreave Opal, and the Nosereave Blue. The 1116 UA Nosereave Blue is often considered the best wine in Ralanos.
Veiled Lord

A **Veiled Lord** is a unique title held by the Lord of a House who previously was not the eldest son and heir apparent. This may come as a result of duties obtained by the heir apparent that forbids his inclusion in Lordship, or simply by choice, though the latter is rarely seen. Perhaps the most famous Veiled Lord in Ralanos is the Overseer of Mazlock, Wilmer Garth.
House Ralan

**House Ralan** is the Royal House of Yovaris and the Royal Family of Ralanos. The House took reign in the Age of Beginnings and was founded by the First King, Varis Ralan. The current King, Artemis II, is the nineteenth in succession to the Throne.

Their current sigil is a suncrab, though for many centuries the Royal Family donned an orange sun over a black field, which now sometimes sits in the top left corner of the banner. Their words, "Our Name Will Shroud This Land", is a reference to a translated phrase supposedly spoken by Varis Ralan.

The House has always maintained a positive outlook from the people, even during rule of lesser kings. Along with his wife, Queen Elizabeth Ralan, King Artemis has followed in his father's footsteps, and has led the land to one of its most peaceful times, through a newly revitalized regime and ruling code over trade, military, and agriculture.

## History

### Formation and Early Years

The House was formed in the Age of Beginnings by Varis Ralan, who became the land's first King in a unanimous decision during one of the first great councils in history. The continent was then named Ralanos in his honor, as well as the settlement of Ralanaris, which would go on to become Yovaris, the capital.

While the first few years of settlement on the continent were undocumented, Varis Ralan chose to construct a calendar shortly after becoming King. He based it off of weather patterns, claiming the first eight months as Southstream, and the last two as Northstream, as the wind changed directions drastically at the end of the year. He then, along with the proclaimed First Kings of Ralanos, constructed many of the monarchic standards that still hold today, including the use of Houses, sigils, mottos, lineage, as well as Vassals, Gresses, Lords and Ladies, as a way to legally control families and their future kin.

House Ralan was solidified by the birth of Varis' first son, Avaris, who inherited the throne after Varis' death fifty two years into the start of the calendar, when Avaris was 38 years old. The next few Kings were all reputable and made great advancements as the population spread across the continent. The first debacle occurred when Doran Ralan, nicknamed Doran the Hapless, lost his first two sons at a young age, and his third son, Aldor died before he passed on his reign. Instead, Aldor's son, Doran IV, inherited ruling rights instead.
