Reverse Gravity

7th Level Coactimancy

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 100 feet

Components: V S M (A lodestone and iron fillings)

Duration: Concentration, Up to 1 minute

Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard

This spell reverses gravity in a 50-foot-radius, 100-foot high cylinder centered on a point within range. All creatures and objects that aren’t somehow anchored to the ground in the area fall upward and reach the top of the area when you cast this spell. A creature can make a Dexterity saving throw to grab onto a fixed object it can reach, thus avoiding the fall.
If some solid object (such as a ceiling) is encountered in this fall, falling objects and creatures strike it just as they would during a normal downward fall. If an object or creature reaches the top of the area without striking anything, it remains there, oscillating slightly, for the duration.
At the end of the duration, affected objects and creatures fall back down.
Friction Matches

Friction matches are a new piece of technology developed in The Sidonian Republic. They take the form of small pieces of wood, with a single red arcane glyph on the top. When struck against something with enough friction, a miniature version of a "Create Bonfire" spell will be cast by the match (on itself), setting it alight, to be used in starting a real fire. Their relatively cheap price, reliability, and compact size make them invaluable tools

Because they are powered using magic, they will not work when inside an anti-magic field.
Session 24

The Mage in the Mirror

Group Alpha decides to free Morrigan from her mirror-prison.

They debate the best way to accomplish it, and Conrad imprisons a criminal in the mirror so that Morrigan may walk free.

They travel south-east, searching for the way to free Morrigan.

Strange things begin happening as the journey continues, and Morrigan tells the party of her clan and family, the Aurelianos.

Morrigan reveals that she was the creator of Coactimancy.

Group Alpha arrives at an ancient vault, where Factus sticks his arm in a wall, rewriting part of his "Code", allowing new runic powers.

The party finds a golden sceptre which can shatter the mirror, but transports them to a strange starren realm.

They face off against terrible Star-Spawn, but Julius summons forth a divine champion to do battle with their leader.

They defeat their foe, and arrive at another strange realm which Morrigan claims is the weave of magic itself.

They find a black iron gate, behind which a darkness lies. Morrigan draws power from it in order for the party to leave, but in the process partially opens the gate.
Theris Moonbound

Theris Moonbound is a Halfling Cleric of The Bright King. Clad in plate armor and wielding a mace, Theris eagerly joined Group Alpha in hunting down The Black Talon and Adair of Storia. First found in The Lotus Den, Theris was last seen grabbing a bucket so that she could "Flood the rest of the Dragon Worshippers".
Session 29

Session Twenty Nine - Thorn In Your Side

Group Alpha collects all their remaining funds to bid for some of Kistarin Yvris' possessions, but must contend with both Morrigan and the extremely wealthy Janus Thorne to gain what they seek.

Factus, Lucien, Kasdri, and Nathaniel meet 'The Seer', who runs the Southstream Library in Starcrest. He agrees to look into research on Tu-Mal & The Plane of Fire.

The party has fine clothing made for them by Savics tailor

They sell some of their various items for 8.5k

They arrive at the auction, waiting in line with Morrigan, who joins them at the event on Cromwell Island.

At the various auctions they purchase the following:

* Vel'Kari Vase
* Norevan Longsword
* Blue Power Crystal
* Shield Rune Slab
* 5 Revivify Diamonds
* Statue of Morphing
* 5k Mythril Dust
* Guide to the Elemental Plane of Fire
* Manual of Gainful Knowledge
* x7 Sending Stones

Morrigan purchases the Codex Celestium, which Lucien wants. She promises to let him read it should Group Alpha do a favor for her.

The party returns to Starcrest, meeting with Sera. She discovers that Lucien & Kasdri had been hiding the fact that her sister, Renfri, is alive.

Sera is enraged, but is calmed upon learning that Kasdri was going to tell her, but told her not to. She removes her cloak and navigates via normal means, signifying her dissociation towards the Night Keeper.

Kasdri speaks to Claudia, and tells her that if she helps them defeat Khyber, they will give her back her old sword, Nemesis.
Purple Vestige

The Purple Vestige was a strange object, somewhat resembling a drill or corkscrew. It was stuck inside of Kronos for a seemingly lengthy period of time, and caused him to violently attack anything that came near him.

It was removed from Kronos upon his destruction, and while in the hands of The Hushed, thanks to clever teamwork by the Eyes of the Archon, it was retrieved, and subsequently purified.
The Oracle

A strange figure residing in Ilinus' Sanctuary, The Oracle is an ancient woman who has lived since the times of Majorian, Aetius, and Valeria.

She seems to have some form of precognition, seeing many important events from across time, and offering advice and guidance to those in need of it. Lucien Novelle claimed to have seen her in a vision shared to him by Khyber, a fact which The Oracle found ironic. During this vision, The Oracle warned Valeria not to succumb to her faults, saying that "The Heavens would fall".

Her origins, motivations, and method of staying alive for so long are unknown.
Fallen Star Island

A large island located to the east of Candleglow and south of Vel'Morlus, Fallen Star Island is a landmass named by Group Alpha. Its name originates from 'The Bay of Stars', where it is located. The island hosts a variety of flora and fauna, and is extremely warm, almost tropical. The waters around it are normally calm, save for the occasional storm, allowing for easy access via the sea. It is unknown if the island is inhabited by any sentient creatures. It is known, however, that at the center of the island sits Kronos, a waterfall pouring onto his shoulder from the various large mesas and crags at the center of the landmass.

According to him, she calls herself "The Wolf Queen", and lives within the Dire Forest southeast of Westbrooke. She is an avid acolyte of Praeteris, along with the rest of her people, and knew that Kasdri was to come searching for her.

It was revealed that Renfri was once known as Sofia Lafayette, and that she was the surrogate sister of Arabella Whitby. Her death was the inception of Sera's quest to find the vestiges. Once Sera discovered that she was still alive, she became disenfranchised with the Night Keeper, furious with him for keeping this secret from her.

A statue of her visage, before she adopted the name Renfri, resides within the Heroes' Requiem Keep.

The Poggers Champion

In the Empire of the Vel'Karis, many stories and legends were passed down through the generations, including those which came before the times of Praeteris. This is one such story.

**Across from the Southern Shores of Duloris, many centuries ago, lay the lands known as The Queens Isles. Verdant fields and gilded sandy shores were the pride of the people of these islands, whose lives were filled with splendor and wealth, thanks to the leadership of their queen. She ruled from her grand fortress atop the largest hill of the largest island, which stood at the center of a city which rivaled or surpassed any other in the world. This city was bountiful in its vast stores of fine steel, which in Vel'Kari, translates to 'Pah'. Alongside the vast sums of steel, the city was known for the large stretches of merchants which lined its beautiful riverbanks, which in Vel'Kari, translates to 'Gers'. These two notable qualities gave the city its name. This City, Steelbank, was the pride and joy of The Queens Isles, and many travellers and merchants from mainland Duloris and beyond ventured there to seek their fortunes. Of course, with an influx of outsiders, it fell upon The Queen to have the finest warriors in all the land, so that her people may be safe, and secure. So it was that, on the fourty-seventh day of the two-hundredth year of the Age of the Wind, the Queen held the first of many tournaments to decide who among her fighters was the greatest. Hundreds participated, and spilled blood, both theirs and otherwise, for the Queens favor. After a full weeks of near nonstop combat, the last remaining participant received a grand reward; a golden laurel crown, and a black-steel sceptre, forged in the fires of Mt. Veridian itself. These two items were proof of the combatants valor, prowess, and courage. Each year, a new tournament was held, in pursuit of these items, and the status that came with them. For only the greatest of the greatest could be crowned... The Poggers Champion.**
Lost Transcribing Crystal

Cog has informed Group Alpha that a Transcribing Crystal, ordered from Leomoth by its master never arrived.

Although Group Alpha initially believed the crystal to be something stolen by Sonas Fyrewood, and planned to investigate the Temple of the Emission once again, they soon discovered from Krolech Icebeard that several people had been heard discussing it near Westbrookes docks. Their names were Or Hammerdream, Elainis Hammerdream, and Vardon Bodz.

Deciding to investigate the island at the center of Lake Ioris, they questioned Mister Cornelius about any inhabitants living there. He informed them that a Tobias and Fon Cromwell used to live there, but did not know if they are still there. Upon discovering that there were criminals supposedly there, Mister Cornelius traveled to the docks alongside Group Alpha, and spoke to a friend of his, a woman named Kallen. Group Alpha agreed to pay ten dollars round trip for her to take them to the island, wait for them, then return to Westbrooke. They travelled over the course of 2 hours, finally arriving on the sandy beach of the island. There they discovered a cottage, and approached the front door.

Stepping inside, Group Alpha investigated and found a trap door beneath a bed. Venturing down, the encountered what appeared to be a smuggling den, filled with armed and hostile people. There was a battle, and Group Alpha emerged victorious. Locating the transcribing crystal, they returned it to Archmagi Kistarin Yvris, who thanked them and promised them that they would be first on the list for magic items.
The Chains of Phantasia

Mentioned only in passing by Lucien Novelle "The Chains of Phantasia" is the name of what apparently is some kind of magical harp. He recalled it being mentioned in discussion of Vestiges, though does not remember exactly why, or how they are related, if they are at all.

It is currently theorized by Group Alpha that the harp itself is a vestige.

They were not quite correct on the assumption of the Chains being a Vestige, however, it is related to them. In truth, the Chains of Phantasia is a powerful artifact created by the Mythic Hero Korison Brasshammer. He created it with the intention of it being an 'Ultimate Weapon of Good' to be used by Soren Hightower in case a threat like Tiamat ever rose again.

The Chains of Phantasia, alas, is not finished. The main body of the instrument has been created, sealed away and watched over by a guardian, but the strings are a more complicated matter. The strings of the the instrument are the vestiges themselves, and are what truly give the artifact power. Once all seven vestiges are purified they are then to be dispersed and forged into the strings by Korison Brasshammer.

Group Alpha, especially Lucien Novelle, is currently on the hunt to find and purify the Vestiges as to finish to Chains and wield it to finally defeat Khyber and finish the eclectic group known as the Hushed once and for all.

It is said the artifact can only be used by one who is 'Pure of Heart'.

It was recently discovered by Group Alpha that there was once another artifact that shared the name the Chains of Phantasia. A grim and haunting harp that was used to seal away the then Queen of the Hells, Phantasia herself. Phantasia has long since perished, and the original chains with strings made of unicorn hair, dismantled. Soren Hightower requested its successor be named as such because he thought that it was 'neat'.

On April 13th, 191 F.T, The Sidonian Republics capital, Sidonia, was suddenly and mysteriously vaporized without a trace, along with its population and leader, the Brightfather. Since then, the areas it once controlled have erupted into chaos, and it seems without their divine leader there to guide and protect them, the people of the former Republic have lost their way. The fate of the Republic has yet to be decided.
Vohnenheim

Vohnenheim is a town located on the continent of Duloris, south of Westbrooke. It was apparently founded by Dulara, who sought to get away from the control of Mister Cornelius. It is unknown the exact size of the settlement, though Mister Cornelius has said that it is relatively small.

Solis

Solis is a Drow woman living in Starcrest, specifically The Grove owned by Kasdri Valmorn.

Solis has proved herself to be a lethal combatant, helping Kasdri kill Corwin Valmorn when he attacked the grove. She also appears to be an Aasimar, able to sprout large white wings from her back.
The Seer

An older Elven gentleman of uncertain origin, The Seer operates the Southstream Library located in the city of Starcrest. He told Group Alpha that he had heard many tales of their exploits, which earned them his respect. As such, he is willing to assist them in some of their endeavors, especially in the way of research.

He is currently tasked with researching the Elemental Plane of Fire.

Ruined Stars

Having purified the Golden Vestige, Group Alpha plunders ancient ruins located near Starcrest at the behest of Kasdri.

Julius gives Delaria a ring, with a promise that he shall always come back alive for her.

The party receives a letter from Thomas Alabaster, thanking them for saving his life, and giving them a magical potion-storing bracer.

Factus, Lucien, and Nathaniel interrogate a captured member of the family, and Factus tests out his new gauntlets for the first time.

The trio learn that this particular cell of the family was operating out of the Temple of the Bright King in Westbrooke.

Savic looks to the stars for answers, spotting The Celestian, and beckons The Beginning to aide him in finding Jerrick. He is told to go to where they reunited.

Morrigan is momentarily taken control of by The Beginning, an act which greatly pains her.

The party returns to Westbrooke, where they learn of a man running for Chief Magister, Janus Thorne.

Julius realizes just how rich he is, as well as just how bad he is at gambling, losing quite a large sum at Magmas Gaming Emporium.

Julius listens to a woman, Gaia Starriper, sing atop the stage at the casino, and is enthralled by her voice.

He meets Teth Stonedown, and the two spend most of the day drinking and socializing.

The Archon offers Group Alpha the chance to formalize their relationship, offering them an as of yet unnamed position as his "right hand". They accept.

The party decides to find the ruins Kasdri had learned of, taking a week to arrive.

Inside they meet three suits of animated armor, 001, 002, and 003, and are treated to a disgusting meal and a tour of the facility.

They discover a plant-animal hybrid, a puppy with the ability to heal.

They are led to Helena Aurelianos' office, where they find the Eye of Kyronnen, a mysterious hilt, and Helenas Ring of Major Missles.

They also discover a large, active magical crystal which apparently supplies power to the facility. Julius attempts to destroy it, but fails.

Having gotten what they came for, they return to Westbrooke with the plant-puppy in tow, meeting with Morrigan.

Morrigan is delighted to see the animal, as well as her mothers possessions, hesitantly allowing the party to keep what they had found.

She is taken over by The Beginning once more, and says that Savic, Lucien, and Kasdri all bear "The stench of stardust".

They soon leave Morrigans tower, while Nathaniel gambles away most of his money at the casino, earning nothing.

They learn of an auction of Kistarin Yvris' possessions, and decide to wait until after that to search for the next Vestige.

Temple of Majorian

An ancient stone temple built in dedication to the ancient hero, Majorian.

The center of the temple has a statue of Majorian, with a heraldic poem inscribed onto a plaque below it. The basement also holds a teleportation circle, which Lucien has learned.
The Storian Coalition

The Storian Coalition was a country which comprised the cities of Gemhollow, Flalo, Boria, Yico, and the capital and namesake, Storia.

The Coalition was founded in 58 F.T, intially as a trade union between its cities. Over time, their wealth and power grew, and with it, their ambition. They set their sights on the city of Sunbreak, in The Realm of Lofthaven. Confident they could beat their much smaller neighbor, they invaded in the only act of full-scale war since The Age of Strife, The Sunbreak War.
Soul Forge, The Spellbreaker

A beautiful blue and gold shield that possesses two red gemstones, polished into perfect spheres, which was found in Northern Duloris, specifically within Morannas Frozen Cathedral.

The shield is currently in the possession of Julius Von Parvel, though Kasdri Valmorn originally attempted to barter it to Factus Formis.
Vel'Karis

The Vel'Karis are a group of people which Factus Formis claims to be a a citizen of. He described as "A country, an empire, a land". According to Factus, not all the people are of the same appearance as Factus, though some are. Apparently, the leader of the Vel'Karis is Praeteris. Factus claims that they were "everywhere" in Duloris, though all of their cities have since vanished.

Factus was apparently aware of the existence of a "Princess of the Vel'Karis", but upon the discovery of a so called "Prince of the Vel'Karis", was confused, claiming to not be familiar with it.

The Princess of the Vel'Karis was revealed to be Claudia, daughter of Praeteris and Stelli'Aris. She is currently the only non-Formis member of the Vel'Karis that has been seen.

According to the map drawn by factus, their capital was called "Etreidies". Other locations listed by him were the cities Gresidua, apparently located where Westbrooke now stands, Lotavora, Star Crest, Vel'Morlus, Norevis, Ashpointe, and Ironstar Tower.

### History of the Vel'Karis

Group Alpha learned the history of the Vel'Kari people after viewing The Wall.

Ages ago, the Vel'Kari "Ascended".

They were lead by Praeteris, who soon took Stelli'Aris as his wife.

They allowed magic to flourish, and brought their people closer together.

They created the Formis, a new people, to protect the Empire.

They fought against Tiamat for 12 long years, and won.

Praeteris brought the Vel'Kari to a new realm in a second ascension.

Many were bitter at their forceful relocation, including Claudia, who rebelled.

A long civil war was fought, with Praeteris & his loyalist forces succeeding.

Claudia was locked away for one hundred years, but the surviving rebels spared.

Praeteris created a new land for them to live on, to the south-east.

The only way to walk among the ascended once more is to wield "The Helm" at Ironstar Tower.

Soren Hightower granted the blade to Lucien Novelle, who took up the quest to find the pieces of stained glass missing from the blade and restore it to its former glory so that he may wield it. Lucien would discover later on that before he had lost his memories, he had himself given the missing pieces of glass to Cantatio Kulenov, instructing the man to give them to him when he most needed it.

Lucien Novelle gave up the sword to the Hushed, as to ensure the safety of Alheim Cornelius.
Attacking Aegis

Requirements: Proficiency in shields

Your skill with using a shield allows you to embrace both defense and offense.

While wielding a shield and no other weapon, you are able to attack using your shield, dealing 1d8+STR per attack.

Additionally, you may spend an attack attempting to pin an opponent to a surface using your shield. Choose a target within 5ft of you that has a size equal to or less than yours. The target makes a DEX or STR saving throw (their choice), attempting to either dodge the strike or push it back. On a failed save, they become restrained, and may spend an action attempting to free themselves. If the target is next to a wall or other flat, vertical surface, they have disadvantage on the save against the pin. If no such wall exists, you instead attempt to shove them to the ground, attempting to restrain them from above. In such a case, they have advantage on the save.

Storm Aegis, The Dragon Slayer Armor

A beautiful set of Half-Plate armor which is inlaid with gemstones resembling the 5 colors of the Chromatic Dragon, Storm Aegis offers both offense and defense to the one who wields it.

It was given to Factus Formis by Freia Greymoon, as a sign of respect for one who has dedicated so much time to destroying Dragons. Apparently, the armor was originally worn by her paternal grandfather, a man named Stilicho.
Westbrooke Adventurers Guild

The Westbrooke Adventurers Guild is an organization founded in 188 F.T in the City of Westbrooke. Realizing the need for extraordinary people in the new world, the Guilds founder and proprietor, Conrad, founded the organization at the behest of Group Alpha and Mister Cornelius.

The Guild is officially sanctioned by the government of Westbrooke, and members are required to operate under the cities laws. Applicants to membership must be considered adults by the standards of their respective races, and must have some experience in dangerous work.

The Guild offers rentals on carts and wagons, though you must supply your own horses. Additionally, for distant missions and emergency tasks, the Guild has hired The Amber Locust as its official premiere Airship.

### Organization

Members of the guild are divided into "Classes" of Adventurer, ranging from First-Class all the way up to Fifth-Class. Each Member is granted a metal plate which signifies their status as a member, as well as their class, which is shown by the number of Stars on the plate. The higher your rank, the more experienced and skilled you are.

Conrad is the Guilds only Sixth-Class member, a title reserved to the current leader of the Guild.

The Grove

The Grove is the stronghold built and owned by Kasdri Valmorn. It is a beautifully constructed building which lies just outside the southern walls of Starcrest.

### Appearance

The building is purposefully built in a way to resemble the Vestige Compass, with a large circle brimmed on all four sides with points. The roof of the central circle is a massive green glass dome, with the outside edges of it made of clear glass in the visage of a bramble of thorns, which holds the green at bay. Etched along the rim of the building is a phrase in Celestial, which reads "Vani dies, amor erratur est intus illud semen enim est redemptio Nihil immune est ex invenirent resurrectionem".

The interior of The Grove is covered in various plantlife, much of which is edible, and there is a small stream that passes through the center. The four corners of the grove are singular rooms, one of which belong to Kasdri, Solis, and recently, Clyde, respectively.
Sprinting

You may forfeit your movement, action, and bonus action to go into an all out sprint.

You spend the turn moving up to your walking speed multiplied by 4. You must go in a straight for the duration of the sprint.

Attacks of opportunity against a sprinter are made with advantage, as you are too focused on running to be able to effectively dodge or block.
Savic Lofthaven II

Savic Lofthaven is a High Elf Phoenix Soul Sorcerer and member of the Eyes of the Archon.

Hailing from The Realm of Lofthaven, and being a member of its Royal Family, Savic originally ventured east into Duloris in order to gather information and learn of this newly discovered land. However, as time has went on, he has sworn himself to a new goal: Destroy Volundar.

### Appearance

Savic is a tall High Elf man with pale skin and dark, nearly pitch-black hair, which messily lays out down to his shoulders. His eyes, though once bright green, now shine a purple color. He wears an extremely finely made purple and grey coat, trimmed with silver, and a white shirt beneath, which reveals a blood-red chest tattoo. He wears a magical silver circlet which has three motes of purple light constantly circling his head, like a halo. At his hip hangs the hilt of a sword, with a seemingly shattered or broken blade. He also carries a longbow found on a creature in the caves of the City of Mythril.

### Goals

In general, Savic wants to understand his powers more, as well as his connection to Spellscars. He also seeks the blade of his sword, The Burning Talon Blade. After making a promise to destroy or seal away Volundar, The Beginning granted Savic powers, he intends to keep this promise. In addition, he would like to learn more of his connection to Alora Whitby and Helena Aurelianos.

Starcrest is a small settlement bankrolled by Group Alpha and The Republic of Westbrooke. Originally meant to simply house the parties individual keeps and other strongholds, thanks to Alheim Cornelius, it has turned into a town of its own, inducted into the Republic, and is administrated by Governor Eden Silverhill.

It was built surrounding the Ruins of Starcrest, a Vel'Kari City from which the modern settlement takes its name.

Serilin

Recommended Classes: Ranger, Rogue, Fighter, Druid

### Overview

An often misunderstood people, the Serilin are a nomadic, tribal race that roam central and northern Kovall.

A shorter race, their appearance can be striking, to say the least. Their teeth are sharp, and their mouths can open considerably larger than any other races, similar to certain animals. Their fingers are tipped with black claws, and their skin is a dull, blue-gray color. Their hair is often black or white, and typically long, unkempt, and otherwise wild. They often have tattoos across their bodies, most often on the face, arms, and back.

### History

The origin of the Serilin is a matter of debate. Some sources show that they arose from the Black Gate, hundreds of years ago, while others dating even further back testify to their existence long before they should be able to. In either case, the Serilin themselves have not cared to write their history down.

They most often travel in tribal units, numbering anywhere from 50 to 750 in population. They typically subsist of livestock, which they herd across the continent. They are obligate carnivores, and prefer meat over other foods, though they are able to digest most other types of food without issue.

They have no nation of their own, and many states across the continent express distaste of them migrating into their lands, with some over the centuries waging war against the scattered tribes.

The Celestian

Many Deities perforate the lands of Leomoth, their power and will within every single thing. One such deity is The Celestian, God of Space, The Stars, and Astronomy.

### Appearance

The Celestian is not only depicted, but often seen, as a blackened silhouette of a humanoid, whose body is covered in white dots, patterned in a way to appear as the night sky.

With the supposed Divine Connection being severed, it has been put into question how The Celestian is able to appear in our world physically, and whether or not he is even a god.

### Worship

Though the aspects of The Celestian are mostly associated with stars and the like, he is also considered to be the patron deity of travelers, explorers, and adventurers. Many a wanderer has whispered a prayer to the starry god, hoping for a safe journey.
Leomoth

Leomoth Circa 188 F.T

### Inhabitants

Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Goblinoids, Halflings, Tieflings, Genasi, Aasimar

Leomoth is a continent which houses the realms of Lofthaven, The Telbrade Federation, The Kingdom of Frevon, and The Sidonian Republic. Most recently, the Anti-Magic Coalition has sprung up from western Frevon along the Wine Shore. The continent houses a wide array of races and creatures, and is connected to the lands of Duloris via a large forest to the east. Two mountain ranges, the Peaks of Bandres and the Celestra Mountains are located in the north and the southeast.

### International Relations

#### Lofthaven

The Realm of Lofthaven is the largest nation on the continent by far. It has a large agricultural output, and thus exports much food to Telbrade and The Kingdom of Frevon. There is little political discourse between them and The Sidonian Republic, but relations are generally friendly, in part due to the Lofthaven Royal Family harboring a large amount of Elven blood.

#### Kingdom of Frevon

The Kingdom of Frevon is known for its hospitality to visitors from the other nations, and has several diplomats stationed in each. They export a large amount of magical goods, specifically paper and ink used in spellcraft. Their mages are prized in the other countries, and many nobles and members of the upper class have Frevonian wizards on their payrolls.

#### Telbrade Federation

Somewhat isolated to the north, Telbrade has recently begun rapid Industrialization, allowing for quick transportation inside and out of their borders. They export a vast quantity of material, manufactured goods, while relying on Lofthaven for most of their food. Still, as of late, trade agreements between the two nations have allowed for Telbrade to become more self-sufficient, with the help of Lofthaven farmers, as well as Frevonian mages.

#### Sidonian Republic

The Republic generally keeps to itself, developing in its own way, separate from the other nations. They harbor no ill will towards their neighbors, though they've been slow to embrace Telbradian Industry. Recent disputes over trade routes into and out of Hightower Bay have caused some strain in relations with The Kingdom of Frevon.

Ortheia

The Goddess of the hunt, Ortheia is commonly worshiped by rangers, woodsmen, pioneers, and more. In times long passed, her hunters, legendary in their skill, became known as protectors of the weak, and this trait has actually passed onto Ortheia herself, making her one of the few gods defined by her disciples. The most devout of her worshipers swear to abstain from lavishness, living off the land and taking only what they need, even avoiding intimate contact.
Sovereign Races

In the realm of Kovall, there is a designation that some races hold, that of a "Sovereign Race". To be of a sovereign race is to be of a race that has sovereignty over a kingdom or land. Though many common-folk do not discriminate against non-sovereign races, many of the upper class, such as wealthy merchants or nobility, have a tendency to look down upon those of a non-sovereign race.

Though certain races, such as Ardorians or the Vemilae, have territories controlled by their peoples, they are not considered sovereign because they are not united, instead being fractured into tribes.

### List of Sovereign Races

Drenanian

Halfling

Wine Shore

The Wine Shore is the name of a location in western Leomoth which stretches from the southernmost border of the Telbrade Federation, all the way to the city of Tamesberg in The Kingdom of Frevon.

It is known for its warm and sunny climate, and its production of the finest grapes, which are in turn distilled into fine wines. Certain brands of the wine have spirits which have been in production for over a hundred years.
Soren Hightower

Soren Hightower was one of The Four Mythic Heroes who defeated Tiamat and ended The Age of Strife. He was known for his love of art and song, jovial nature, and generosity.

He is considered a patron saint of art, under The Luminaire.,

### Known History

Soren Hightower was born in The Frevonian City of Tamesberg. He had four siblings, two brothers and two sisters, of which he was the middle child. He was 15 when The Age of Strife first began. His youngest sister, Cassandra, was killed by a Red Dragon when he was 20. This sparked a fiery spirit within Soren, awakening his Aasimar abilities, as well as magical talents.

He sought out those who would stand against Tiamat, for himself, as well as the memory of his sister. He was found by Cephelia Lofthaven in 6 B.T, making him the last member to join the group. He got along with Cephelia the most. Though she was older, in a way, she filled the void in his heart that Cassandra left. Korison Brasshammer and Luca Greymoon at first did not approve of his presence. They found him to be too carefree for their taste, especially considering the circumstance. After dozens of battles however, they grew to trust him and appreciate the light he brought in those dark times.

After Tiamats defeat, Soren Hightower went on a journey across Leomoth, bringing light and happiness to those whose lives had been torn apart. After five years, he told his followers and friends he had a mission to fulfill, and disappeared. Though people had searched, there were no leads to his whereabouts, until the year 188.

### New Revalations

Soren is currently alive, and is living in Duloris with his "Grandson" Lucien. He adopted him as a young boy, though they are not related at all. Soren seems to be suffering from some kind of illness, of which Irene has managed to concoct a solution.

Soren Hightower eventually passed away, leaving Lucien in the care of Lucien Novelle. It was learned that Soren had exiled himself, sickened by the control Valeria, his mentor, once held over his mind.

### Artifacts

Soren preferred to use magic in combat, but whenever he had to, he did not shy away from using a weapon. His Sword, called "The Blade of the Masquerade" is said to be gifted to him by The Luminaire herself.

Soren was well known to play several instruments including the flute, the harp, and the violin. His flute and violin are a part of the royal vault of Frevon, but he is said to have taken his harp with him.

Sorens black and gold Breastplate, crafted by Korison Brasshammer, is currently on display in a museum in Telbrade.

He has a gun, but with no bullets.
