Mesopotamia

Once known as the land between two rivers because of **Tigris** and **Euphrates** this has some of the most rich culture of their time even having the first true system of written laws in human history.

It's nae is from the Greek, meaning between two rivers it was an ancient region located in the eastern Mediterranean bounded in the northeast by the Zagros Mountains and in the southeast by the Arabian Plateau, corresponding to today's Iraq, mostly, but also parts of modern-day Iran, Syria and Turkey.

The Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians dominated **Mesopotamia** from the beginning of written history 3100 BC to the fall of Babylon in 539 BC, when it was conquered by the Achaemenid Empire.

We believe Sumerian **civilization** first took form in southern **Mesopotamia** around 4000 BCE—or 6000 years ago which would make it the **first** urban **civilization** in the region. Mesopotamians are noted for developing one of the first written scripts around 3000 BCE: wedge-shaped marks pressed into clay tablets.
Thriving cities, among them Uruk, developed in **Mesopotamia** before 3100 BC. Sumerian **civilization** developed as a series of city-states after 3000 BC. Constant economic and political rivalries developed, culminating in the empire of King Ur-Nammu of Ur, who controlled Sumer and upstream Akkad in 2112 BC.

The Sumerians were very inventive people. It is believed that they invented the sailboat, the chariot, the wheel, the plow, and metalurgy. They developed cuneiform, the first written language. They invented games like checkers.

Inca

A interesting Civilization to say the least. No water sours at all they used rain.

The **Incas**. Cuzco was the center of the **Incan** empire. The **Incas**, an American Indian people, were originally a small tribe in the southern highlands of Peru. In less than a century, during the 1400s, they built one of the largest, most tightly controlled empires the world has ever **known**.

The **Inca** first appeared in what is today southeastern Peru during the 12th century A.D. According to some versions of their origin myths, they were created by the sun god, Inti, **who** sent his son Manco Capac to Earth through the middle of three caves in the village of Paccari Tampu.

The **Incas** were magnificent engineers. They built a system of roads and bridges across the roughest terrains of the Andes. Through their system of collective labor and the most advanced centralized economy, the **Incas** were able to secure unlimited manual labor.

Angard

Angard is a major character in *Little Town Hero*. He is the former captain of the town's military. At the beginning of the game, he starts mentoring Axe and Matock.

Angard was sent into Town from the Castle to protect the Town from monsters. He likes to frequent the tavern and drinks a lot.

During battle, Angard's support will deal 2 damage to all enemy Dazzits.
Ember

Ember is the protagonist, Axe's mother. She raised Axe by herself after her husband, Cole, mysteriously disappeared.

During battle, Ember's support increases all of the player's Dazzits by (+1/+1). Starting in Chapter 8, her support is upgraded to add (+2/+1) to all red Dazzits and (+1/+2) to all yellow Dazzits.
Cole

Cole is the Father of Axe, and a character in Little Town Hero.

During battle, Cole's support (Cole's Burnup) breaks invincible dazzits used by the enemy, and deals 2 damage to the rest of the enemy's dazzits.

## Profile

The Father of Axe, and Husband of Ember, who mysteriously disappeared not long after Axe was born. Some say he left the town entirely, however no one truly knows.

In truth, Cole disappeared the night after Axe was born - Having met Axe when he travelled back in time by mistake. He confronted the Minister, the then Captain of the knights, about the Black Stones he was being asked to collect. When the Minister fully explained and admitted what the Black Stones did, Cole was enraged and tried to fight back, only to be knocked off the cliff by Torren. Luckily, the Green Stone, which he had been searching for to give Axe not knowing he had already gone back to his own time, saved him, transporting him into the future in time to save his own son from the Monster-fied Minister, assisting in the fight against him.

Unfortunately, the reunion between Cole and Ember, as well as Cole and Axe, was cut short when the Minister attempted to use his last breath to strike Axe down. Cole pushed Axe out of the way, and was quickly slain by the Minister, barely having the time to have one last conversation. Ultimately, his sacrifice was not in vain, as Axe was able to defeat Torren and stop his plans of creating a monster army, saving the town and possibly the world.

## Personality

In many ways, Axe and Cole are extremely similar - Both are rather headstrong at points, and can be rather stubborn. However they also possess a great deal of care for those around them, which Cole showed when he sacrificed himself to save Axe and when he stood up to the Minister in the past.

Cole is also rather skeptical at times: When Axe realised he had gone back in time and exclaimed this, Cole was unwilling to believe it - To the point that Ember suggesting they name their child Axe caught him off-guard still despite Axe's attempts to tell him that he was his child.

He may have also been very ambitious; He made a deal with the Captain to deliver him Black Stones, not knowing what they could do, because he wished to be able to leave the town (possibly with his family) for unknown reasons.

## Trivia

* Cole's Burnup is identical to the move 'Aim Shot', found in the battle against the Hulk Ogre in Chapter 7.
Pasmina

Crossing Gate

A Crossing Gate, or Border Gate, is a huge object and major passageway between two nations, or a nation and the Wilds.

Most national borders are protected by a large anti-magic field that does not allow Teleportation or flight through it. Physical defenses are also frequently constructed along these borderlines, which can range from small battlements, to minefields, to batural obstacles causing passing through these areas on foot to be treacherous.

The technology to create CrossGates is believed to be Augury in origin, and may be the basis of the Equatorial Barrier.

## Structure

A Cross Gate is a huge structure, comprised of both a "Landgate" and a "Skygate", as well as positions on either side. The flight gate is a huge opening that allows airships and other air travel to pass through, while the ground gate is usually a much more mundane portcullis-like setup that can raise or lower to allow travellers through.

Skygates in rural areas are frequently left open unless an unknown ship approaches, this causes some Skypirates to try and "Race the gate"- pass through the gate before it shuts. As the force of the gate shutting is enough to crush most airships to very small pieces, these Skypirates are either very confident, stupid, or suicidal.

CrossGates often have cities or small settlements on either side, servicing travellers who are waiting for permission to cross. This is particularly prominent at busy gates, where it can potentially take several days for an inspection to complete and permission to be granted or refused.

## Passing Through a Gate

When you arrive at a gate, you will need to obtain permission from the Gatemaster to pass through. Similar to a Harbourmaster, they are sentries placed to make sure that those who wish to pass into their country are abiding by it's laws. Checks to pass may range from careful scrutiny of all passengers, cargo, and the ship as a whole, to a quick cursory glance, depending on the

Bribes are also often accepted, as much as authorities would deny it.

The Endtimes

The Endtimes is the name for a belief that the Dawn Era will soon end, replaced by the Dusk Era- the era when the Mortal Plane is finally completely subsumed. The belief stems from the Prophecies of the Endtimes, written longs ago by a Prophet of the Righteous Flame.

This belief is prevalent in a variety of fanatical cults, who view it as the Judgement and the Reckoning of Mortal life, when the Gods, old and new, will once again take to battle, and the souls of unworthy mortals will turn to ash as the worthy are chosen to become divine warriors.

The Endtimes are dismissed as a mere fantasy by many, but some still hold firm to the belief, and live their lives according to the principles written therein.

## Prophecies of the Endtimes

The prophecies of the Endtimes were written by a Prophet of the Righteous Flame long ago, and speak of the signs that the reality of the Mortal Planes is closing in on itself. It speaks of what will happen should these events come to pass, and the signs that it has begun.

It is said that they are written on her own flesh that she willingly flayed, with her blood as the ink, and that she did not stop writing, even when her body was deprived of all it's skin and all that was left was bone.

After the exile and banning of worship of the Righteous Flame, the complete text was claimed by the Divine Priesthood and is hidden deep within the Holy Citadel, and kept secret from the public.

## The Signs of the End of Eras

Many believers in these prophecies follow that the following verse refers to omens of the beginning of the end, and that several of them have already come to pass. However, much of the verse is still missing or left to interpretation.

Anya's Warp-Strike Dagger

Anya's Warp-Strike Dagger is a dagger enchanted with a spell of Noctaport, also known as Warp Strike.

The Noctaport spell was designed by Archmagister Noctas in the mid 1100s, and is used for rapid transport across battlefields and treacherous terrain.

## Enchantment

### Attuning

Attuning to the Warp Strike Dagger takes an action or attack. It can be used to attack, at disadvantage, on the same turn as attuning.

The number of uses before a long rest does not reset when attuning to a new player.

### Warp Strike

The dagger is enchanted with Warp Strike. It has three uses per long rest. It must be attuned.

* Throw the dagger at a target (Living or inanimate) within range, and choose to use a Warp strike before rolling an Attack.
* If the dagger's Attack roll is greater than a set DC of 10, the wielder is teleported along with the dagger in a blue mist-form that bypasses non-magical traps.
* The wielder appears in a square adjacent to the dagger's location, holding onto the dagger with their throwing hand.
* If the dagger is embedded into a target or location that requires suspending the wielder in the air, they must make a Strength (Athletics) check or a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to hold on each turn they start suspended by the dagger.
* If the dagger misses, it is warped back to the wielder's hand.
* If the dagger lands somewhere too small to fit the wielder, it is warped back to the wielder's hand.
Beresal Path (The New World)

The Beresal Path is a Dwarven ruin of no more than two to three hundred years of age, located in the New World.

## History

A group of Dwarves from the Democracy of Terra attempted to burrow underneath the Equatorial Barrier in the 1400s DE. Although they briefly succeeded, they were soon cut off when the barrier reached the tunnel they had excavated.

These Dwarves attempted to build a tramway to rapidly cross the first island, now known as the New World but known to them as Terranua, however before the Tramway was completed they were wiped out in a battle against a large dragon, and repeated assaults from the Tarrasque known to inhabit The New World.

In 1759 DE, a party of adventurers discovered and repaired the tramway, allowing them a secret fast travel network across the New World, and even returning to the Northern Continents.
Summoning

Summoning is the act of calling a creature (or creatures) form one of the other planes of existence to serve you. It is a form of Conjuration magic, possibly considered to be it's most advanced form. In order to summon a creature of such power, one must win it's allegiance.

Once allied, the creature will give a conjuration stone that when shattered will Call the called being to the plane of reality and location it is shattered in.

## Purposes

The purpose changes depending on the nature of the creature. Some will guide and give advice, while others will attack or defend a location or person. Calling can cause a great mental drain on the caller.

## Dismissal

The death of the original Caller, the called taking too much damage, or the destruction of the Call Crystal will cause the creature to be banished back to it's plane. A creature can only be summoned for a certain amount of time, after that, it will also be dismissed.

## Gameplay

Using a Call Crystal takes a Bonus Action. The Crystal must be shattered after chanting a phrase, usually decided by the creature themself.

The summon will take it's first turn immediately after it is Called.

Called have the legendary action "Dismissal". This will cause it to return to it's plane of existence. this action can also be requested by a character noted as an ally of the summoned creature. Dismissing the summon is a Bonus Action that can be called by any character on the team of the summoner.

If the called is driven to 0 HP, the caller gains two points of exhaustion and the called is dismissed.

Collector of Antiquities (New World)

The Collector of Antiquities was an elderly Halfling from the Commonwealth who travelled to the New World in 1755DE in the hopes of finding new curiousities to add to his collection. He soon set up home in Novagorod, the Wynding House. He hired a group of bodyguards, led by Armitage Parrish, to help protect his collection.

As his collection grew, he hired a manservant to help him look after his curiousities. Although he sent out multiple requests, only one potential recruit responded.

At some point prior to 1759DE, he was assassinated by his Manservant. The Manservant then placed the blame on Armitage and his bodyguards, who were forced to flee the city, pursued by the guards.

Kurise, Goddess of Science

To use knowledge for the betterment of others.

To hold as true that which is proven false.

The Goddess of Knowledge and science, Kurise is a wise and noble goddess who is much respected by the others.

Her church, such as it is, are travelling teachers known as the Apostles of Kurise, who travel to remote regions of the world to teach people things that otherwise they would never have access to.

She is also worshipped by many healers and physicians due to her inclination towards the study of and treatment of ailments and illnesses.

She supports the Oath of Devotion for Paladins, and despises Oathbreakers.

## The Other Gods

Kurise has a cold relationship with most of the other gods, preffering to interact with mortals.
Mercenaries

Mercenary companies are a necessity in areas with consistent fighting and war but little to no resources, such as around the Northern Border or even the areas between provinces where regular wars are fought for land and pride's sake.

Mercenaries are ideal in that their expenses and training are handled and come pre-packaged, and their deaths on a battlefield do not impact your overall status as a country or province, thus avoiding a damaging state of Total War.

Mercenaries are typically clad in loosely-similar armor and wield whatever weapons are their preference, and so it can be difficult to judge their level of ability at a glance- a useful counter-intelligence tool- although some units have developed enough of a reputation that their emblem flying over a unit may terrify those in the know.

## Types of Mercenary Units

Mercenaries are often organized into batallions of like-minded and like-equipped individuals. These groups commonly fight for a set fee per confrontation, but might be inspired to fight harder in exchange for bounties on specific targets.

### Warriors- 50 Copper Pieces/person

A standard mercenary unit of footsoldiers. Typically equipped with swords or axes, and numbering about fifty.

### Cavalry- 3 Silver Pieces/Person

Mercenary cavalry are horse-mounted soldiers capable of charging into enemy ranks. Numbering around thirty per unit, cavalry are instrumental in causing heavy damage fast.

### Raiders- 5 Silver Pieces/Person

Raiders are trained for fast-moving surgical attacks on groups and encampments. Raiders are smaller groups of twelve to twenty and often mounted.

## Bounties

A standard fee is common for certain Prime targets, known as Battlefield Bounties. These are awarded either to the company as a whole or the individual who successfully claims the target.

The mercenary or commander in question must keep track of the number of bounties they have completed as they fight.

### Individual Bounties

 Officer (Known)
 Officer (Legend)
 Enemy Captain
 Enemy Commander
 Enemy Leader

### Company Bounties

 Capture a large fortification
 Destroy an enemy unit
 Disrupt enemy artillery
 Rescue
Artemis DeLeon

Princess Artemis the Blessed is a revered quasi-religious princess of the DeLeon family line, known for her role in the Great Royaume Civil War that lead a golden age for the people of the Royaume.

Considered as wise as she was graceful, she is depicted in statues and on the Royaume Platinum Piece as a woman of great beauty. Despite being a woman in a time when the Royaume was even more misogynistic than it is now, she was able to command troops and with the help of her companions, led a battle against an enemy force of far greater number than her own that is remembered as a valiant and glorious moment of Royaume history.

## Impact in popular culture

As a person of extreme importance to the history of the Royaume and with their relations to the Guild of Mages, she has had a considerable impact. She is depicted in three famous statues in the capital of the Royaume, Cité des Lions et des Rois.

The first is her courtyard statue, carved in marble it shows her in full armor, holding her sword up. Standing at over 80ft tall, this statue is the only one of a woman wearing armor and wielding a weapon in the Royal Courtyard. This statue is admired by many for the beauty of it's sculpture and it's impressive nature.

The second statue, one which many people see, is known as the market memorial fountain. This fountain is dedicated to those who died to bring an end to the Civil War, and depicts her in a manner similar to a water nymph, sitting on a rock with her legs curled up to her side. Water from two angels pouring a bucket splashes over her body. The water in this fountain is noted for being regularly blessed by the church, and is said to cure any wound washed in it.

The third is her tomb in the DeLeon Mausoleum, which depicts her lying down with eyes closed in the manner of most of those in the queen's tomb, but with the exception of holding her sword in the same manner as the carvings in the king's tomb.

## Personality

Artemis was a shy, quiet girl as a child. She would frequently shy away from playing, and had trouble speaking due to a stuttering problem. Her father would read to her as a child, and she would learn to read from this, despite it being considered an unladylike behaviour. She would watch her big sister Herelda doing her sword practice and was inspired by her attitude and refusal to obey what were considered her limitations due to her gender and status.

As a warrior, she was merciful on the battlefield to her foes, letting them flee even if they could regroup later, believing in giving a chance to her enemies. Although not a great swordswoman, her ability to charm others to her way of thinking and inspire her comrades would prove useful in a number of situations. She was known to have a unique singing voice.
The Northlands

The Northlands is the term used for the region to the far north of The Planet, within the Northern Continents.

The Northlands are home to The Commonwealth and The Winter Kingdom. They are cold and snow-capped in the most northern points, and still quite chilly further south. Snow is common, as are sleet and hail. The climate resembles Russia, but in the farthest northern points it begins to become more similar to Antarctica.

Farming is difficult, leading to an excess of meat and hardy tubers such as potatoes, but a scarcity of fresh produce, fruits and vegetables.
