College of Buoyanth

The **College of Buoyanth** is a college devoted to magic, located in the flying castle that shares its name. Though it primarily focuses on the arcane arts, it is not unheard of for clerics, priests, druids, and other divine spellcasters to make their presence known.

Generally speaking, the college serves as home to between one hundred and fifty and two hundred professors, researchers, other masters of the arts, and support staff, while also accommodating a student body of over one thousand students. In 1000 SEoP, the current makeup consists of one hundred and sixty two professors and faculty, and one thousand and five students.

The college was founded and previously led by the wizard Murdoch. Following his disappearance, the college was briefly managed by a succubus named Jessa. Following Jessa's retreat following a defeat at the hands of Group 1, the party of adventurer's responsible for clearing it took temporary control. Following confirmation of Murdoch's demise, a will was found wherein he left control of the college and the castle in the hands of both Dortmunder Powersnoof and Ruus Marekar. Group 1 agreed to honour these terms, though they continue to use the college and castle as a base of operations.

### **Notable Members**

* Dortmunder Powersnoof, a relative of Murdoch's and the current majority owner of the college.
* Murdoch, the founder of the college and former head.
* Ruus Marekar, the college's pilot and current minority owner of the college.
Jocelyn, Queen of Klortho

Jocelyn (??? SEoP - ) is the human queen of the Twin Dagger Cities, serving as the ruler and head of state for both the Kingdom of Klortho and (de facto) the Kingdom of Kalan. Originally from Carud, she was wed to Oliver Phelps, King of Klortho, and took over the throne following his assassination by demonic forces.

She recently gave birth to a child, the lone heir to the throne of the two kingdoms.
Dortmunder Powersnoof

Dortmunder Powersnoof (??? - ???) is the twin brother of Floric Powersnoof and currently part-owner of Buoyanth. He is one of Murdoch's nephews, and looks like a much younger version of his uncle.

(Old Bio Info):

He was adopted as an Orphan along with with his Twin brother over a century ago and has learned the joy of teaching as he seems very eager in bring Bouyanth to new heights of knowledge and performance with his students success and enjoyment being a priority.

Before the start of the God return Crisis Dortmunder was studying how to seal away the gods for good with his brother but one day his brother left and came home to their swampy abode a changed man. His Brother Floric sealed Dormunder in their home while Floric worked to bring the gods back to Izal. Dormunder was freed by an adventuring party thus letting him return to Bouyanth to discover the death of his father and his will. Then will was addressed to Russ (LINK) and himself and gave wach of them 25% and 75% of Booyanthe. Coming to an agreement to let Dormunder take over school administration and Ruus and his company use of the castle's utility the will was signed on amicable terms.
"D"

"D" (??? SEoP - ) is a Dark Elf Beastmaster Ranger that Group 1 initially encountered when he ambushed them near a large city in the Underdark. He purports to be an experienced spy and information gatherer, and though his allegiances are unknown, his interests run contrary to most of his kin. He aided the party in disrupting the drow's plans for invasion and in escaping the Underdark, before once again parting ways with them to continue his covert mission.

"D"'s combat style involves dual scimitars and a black panther companion named Toto.
Kingdom of Kularem

The **Kingdom of Kularem** is the northern most nation on the continent of Carud. It is ruled over by King (insert name here) and Queen (insert name here). It has a long history of military strength and pride. With an even longer history of conflict between its neighbor the Adeta Republic. Even though it is located on the coast of the northern sea it has limited contact with Izal.

The capital, a port city, is located at the foot of one of the several mountain ranges on Carud. The kingdom is made up almost entirely of Humans with only a few Elves, Halflings and Dwarfs standing out among them. It is too far away from the Orc Lands to draw much of any attention from them, which leaves the upper class to spend its time intriguing against itself in the royal court and preparing for the inevitable war with the Adetans.
Popov Strongstout

Popov Strongstout (Quest-giver's Perspective)

Many a dwarf can hold claim to being born under mountain or hill, however the one I seek today was more like to be born under a bottle spirits. Popov Strongstout, dwarven wizard, drunkard, and ne’er-do-well has been chased out of more towns and taverns than most adventurers will see in a lifetime. Pawning off conjured goods or burning down the tavern due to some drunken magical mishap was the usual cause. While most sane people would never consider hiring a drunken charlatan of a dwarven wizard, granted a charlatan of spell casting he was not, a crazy quest requires a crazy dwarf.

I noticed a plethora of different beings as I walked into the Shattered Mug tavern, but only one of them happened to be a dwarf. The one I was seeking was to have been instantly recognizable, as a dwarf with a shortened beard and patches of stubble (did I mention the magical mishaps?) is a rare sight, yet the dwarf I saw had spectacles and an abundance of facial hair and thick bushy eyebrows all of an odd shade of…well green. The odd looking dwarf waved me down with a sloshing mug of ale, and as I drew closer I noticed that the wriggling eyebrows weren’t eyebrows at all, they were caterpillars tied with string to his spectacles! The beard was not a beard at all either, but a dense patch of moss. “You like it, eh?” said the dwarf, tugging down the moss momentarily to reveal a mix of singed stubble and beard, “Had to do it after the bet last night,” he continued. Sighing reluctantly I nodded for the dwarf to continue his explanation. “Well you see that halfling over there with half his top-knot, we were drinking together and having a good ole time, until he bet me I couldn’t light the candle on the table with a spell.” “Naturally, I took the bet and won hands down,” it was then that the dwarf coughed lightly and looked a bit guilty. “And?” I questioned, “may have also lit the halfling’s top-knot and… well,” the dwarf gestured at a portion of the tavern, clearly scorched and charred black quite recently. “And no one has chased you off, even with the sod and critters adorning your face?” I exclaimed incredulously. Just then the dwarf turned in the direction of the half top-knot Halfling and raised his mug with a cheery expression to have it returned in kind. “A dwarf with a green beard is a lot more common than a dwarf with hardly any beard, much like a Halfling without a top-knot… speaking of,” the dwarf chuckled and as the halfling turned his back the dwarf muttered a cantrip and snapped his fingers as the remainder of the halfling’s top-knot burst into flames. The tavern owner covered his face with a hand and could be heard muttering, “Not again.”
Moon Clan

The Moon clan are one of the Elven clans in the Whispering Forest.

With the state of the Whispering Forest currently unknown, the status of the remaining Moon Clan membership remains a mystery.

The Moon Clan Ancestral city is the City of Luanal.

## Notable Members

* Duran Veneficus, member of Group 1
* Vaelahrn, The current elven elder of the Moon Clan.
* Illnu, An Elder of the Moom Clan, seems to want to establish moon clan Supremacy.
Kriv the Poor

Kriv the Poor (??? SEoP - 1000 SEoP) was a Green Dragonborn street urchin in the city of Kalan. He was known to several of the cities' urchins, by name if nothing else, and was infamous for having a gambling problem.

Kriv encountered Group 1 in an inn where he was celebrating overcoming astounding odds in a bet in Kalan's arenas, having bet on an underdog in one of the tournaments. The party, suspicious, brought him to their room to question (and protect) him, hoping to glean answers when he had sobered up. They discovered he was under the effects of a powerful magical compulsion, which Duran Veneficus was able to break, and obtain some information (and a share of his winnings) before parting ways with him.

Kriv would take the remaining share of the loot back to the arena, losing it and becoming indebted to agents of Madam Ling. He would direct the debt collectors to Group 1 to collect his debt. He was inadvertently killed by an exploding Gas Spore in the Kalan Alchemist's Guild in the skirmish that would ensue.
Klortho (city)

One of the Twin Dagger Cities, Klortho was ruled by King Sir Oliver Phelps at the start of the campaign, and is currently ruled by Queen Jocelyn, after his death. One of the two main stops for the Mage College, Buoyanth.

Klortho is the westernmost of the two Twin Dagger Cities - as such, it fields most trade traffic from Urach and the villages bordering the Dragon Mountains and Dragon Pass, as well as serving as a port of call for sea traders from abroad.

In addition to its role as a trade hub, Klortho is notable for being a fashion hub, where master tailors, seamstresses, and jewelers often come to ply their trades. Fashion is always evolving in Klortho, with the wealthy elite constantly chasing the next big thing - which sometimes leads to strange trends inspired by random events, such as adventurers wandering through town wearing peculiar accessories.

One such worker was a Tiefling male named Mordai. The workshop was recently destroyed in a fire caused by an unknown source along with Henri and several citizens nearby.
Half-orc

Half-orcs mature a little faster than humans, reaching adulthood around age 14. They age noticeably faster and rarely live longer than 75 years. Half-orcs average around 6 feet tall, with powerful builds and greenish or grayish skin. Their canine teeth often grow long enough to protrude from their mouths, and these “tusks,” combined with heavy brows and slightly pointed ears, give them their notoriously bestial appearance. While half-orcs may be impressive, few ever describe them as beautiful. Despite these obvious orc traits, half-orcs are as varied as their human parents.
The Legend of Tarzen

Childhood story told in Kalan and Klortho of a Human who was lost in the Fallsworn Jungle.

A child from Urach was kidnapped by bandits who fled to Fallsworn Jungle. When they arrived at their camp they were attacked by a tribe of Gorillas. With the bandits defeated the apes adopted the young boy into their tribe. Many years later human colonists started to destroy the jungle in their home. Seeing the destruction of their home the apes attacked the town forcing them to flee. Having nothing better to do Klortho sent a detachment up north to drive the apes out of the region away from the human settlement. Tarzen, fully grown up now tried to reason with the Klortho soldiers but to no avail.
Grubthar "Chickensnatcher" Cockhammer

Grubthar "Chickensnatcher" Cockhammer was an Orc chieftain whose territory was west of the city of Urach. He was well known for his unusual behaviors, even for an orc, and his ability to ride a pegasus as a orc.

## First Sightings

Grubthar first came to the attention of the Urlak Mercenaries a few years ago while leading an orc war party against a group of helpless merchants. One merchant escaped the encounter by sneaking away and recounted that Grubthar had all of the caravan guards tied up to trees naked and whipped. This unusual pattern continued to appear more and more often as Grubthar grew in influence among the western orcs.

## Recent Strength

Grubthar seized control of the western orc tribes by challenging the leadership of the previous chieftain in one on one combat. He used a fairly normal orc strategy of overpowering his opponent and then bashing his head in with a rock, as is tradition.

He then mounted his pegasus and rallied all of the orcs present to ransack a nearby village.

## Death

Grubthar witnessed the defeat of the dragon Chrysanthium above the city of Urach from a nearby hill. He swiftly organized as many orcs as he could to attempt to subdue her. It took most of his warriors deaths to achieve it, but they managed to overpower and capture the dragon and drag her back to their camp.

A group of adventurers from Urach managed to track the dragon down while Urach was off gathering more warriors. He tried to stop them from saving her but the silver dragon Thanes descended from the sky and blasted him into a frozen orcicle.
Altmer Clan

The Altmer clan are one of the Elven clans in the Whispering Forest. They are known for being home to the most prolific arcane spellcasters in the elven lands, as well as for having a number of scholars well versed in mundane medicine and healing. Their losses were minimal when Cyric attacked.

With the state of the Whispering Forest currently unknown, the status of the remaining Altmer remains a mystery.

## Notable Members

* Keldell, leader of the Altmer clan
* Yenkas Two-Steppes, member of Group 1 (deceased)
* Zook Z. Pepperclank, member of Group 1

Half-elf

Half elf, half human. This race have no true homeland and are outsiders anywhere they are born. Looking perfectly human like just with pointed ears and slightly extended life spans. Half elves are raised in either human environments or elven ones, sometimes they are raised in a mixture of both and proudly show it while others try to hide their dual heritage and try to blend in as just a human or as an elf.
Yuan-Ti Pureblood

Pure Bloods are the most cunning and human-like of the Yuan-Ti, often looking exactly like humans except for slits for eyes and occasional scales. To put it plainly, these creatures are a mix of a serpent and a human. Some of the Yuan-Ti look more like snakes than others do, and some look more like humans, being nearly indistinguishable.
Elabrion Clan

The Elabrion clan are one of the Elven clans in the Whispering Forest. They are a small clan, too small to participate in the clan war, and are mostly known as generalists having yet to develop a specialty or area of expertise like the other, more established clans, although the bulk of their membership still consists of wizards and mystics.

The only sighting of Elabrion clan members consists of a brief encounter with a small group in the cellar of Alucard Castle. With the state of the Whispering Forest currently unknown, the status of the remaining Altmer remains a mystery.
Orc

Orcs are savage raiders and pillagers with stooped postures, low foreheads, and piggish faces with prominent lower canines that resemble tusks. Strength and power are the greatest of Orcish virtues,and Orcs embrace all manner of mighty creatures in their tribes. Rejecting notions of racial purity, they proudly welcome Ogres, Trolls, Half-Orcs, and Orogs into their ranks. As well, Orcs respect and fear the size and power of evil giants, and often serve them as guards and soldiers.
Yenkas Two-Steppes

## Game Info

### Last Seen

Group 1, Arc 1, Week 7

Name: Yenkas two-steppes

Race: Half-elf

Class: Fighter (Battlemaster)

Description:

History: Yenkas was raised by his
human father, a horse warrior of some Western steppes, their people reveling in
battle and acts of heroism. His mother was a Wood Elf from and old growth
forest near the plains. The two peoples had little to do with each other than
the occasional friendly trick or two. Yenkas knew little about how or why to
the came together and he had only ever met his mother when he was still a small
child and heard she was in the North guarding a tree of life.

A baron eventually came to
buy the plains and gave the tribes an ultimatum be forced off their homeland or
become part of his private army. A faction of the tribe broke away and made an
attempt to face down the baron and his army, but in the end failed and the rest
joined. Growing up Yenkas went along with the army and his father slowly
growing into a solider. Over time he began to pick up soldiers superstitions
from both the foreigner in the army and his own people, adding fetishes to his
hair and armour.

After several wars and the
eventual demise of the baron, Yenkas was left with little but memories of dead
friends and regrets, and a strange feeling of dread after a ransacked alter.

He set out on his own, his
father’s people were dead or scattered which only left his mother’s people, the
Elves in the North who protect the Great Tree.

After weeks of traveling Yenkas finally came to the elf
lands, speaking to several people in the area he found out about the elves and
their yearly skirmish for the right to protect the Great Tree. Entering the
forest he was immediately apprehended by the elves and after some explanations
he managed to convince them that he was related to someone in the area.
Begrudgingly Yenkas was brought to the people of his mother’s family only to
find she died some years ago in the melee.
Tiefling

Tieflings are a plane-touched race of beings often born from devil and human parents but also from two Tiefling parents. Standing around 6ft, Tieflings with red to purple skin tones and tails and horns like their ancestry. They are a race of outsiders and cast outs due to their demonic heritage and reputation of wickedness and evil. The demonic lineage of a Tiefling's ancestry often lies further up the family tree. Tieflings tend to have an angry disposition and are easily aggravated by their status in society and treatment by other races.
Elf (Wood)

Wood elves are less focused on arcane elements and more focused on the nature part of their Feywild heritage. Wood elves are far friendlier to humans than the other races. Wood elves are also level headed and calm, being a society of hunters and gatherers. Wood elves are sometimes nicknamed “Copper Elves” for their generally copper toned skin. Wood elves also tend to have hair that matches their environment, normally being black or brown, but sometimes brown, a coppery red, or even a deep dark green. Considered to be more boisterous and hedonistic than the other elf races but still reserved by other species standards.
Elf (Drow)

The Drow are a race of elves who live underground in the the Underdark. They are believed to be the descendants of a type of High Elves called Dark Elves. They have a burning hatred for the surface elves and all those who live above. Drow are characteristically deceitful, vengeful, and hateful. They tend to have gray skin that ranges in from a dark grey to an obsidian hue. Their hair tends to completely contrast their skin, being a white or pale yellow. Rarely does a Drow have blood red or silver hair.
Group 1/By The Numbers

This page is intended to serve as a record of stats and other neat Trivia for Group 1, mostly relating to ability checks, combat numbers, and spell/resource use. This is a giant, obnoxious wall of numbers, but it could be interesting reading for people. Or something. Enjoy?

* HP Healed includes those healed by consumables, magic, or the expenditure of hit dice.
* Per-session rolls will eventually be added. The data is recorded elsewhere.
* Could do the total number of ability checks rolled, too.

**These values are through the end of Arc 02, Week 24.**

Re-watches are underway to get caught up.

## **Across The Campaign**

### **Spells**

*Only spellcasters are listed in this table. This does not include spells cast via items, but does include ritual spellcasting. Belrus' totals include spell slots burned for smites.*

*Please note that the cantrip totals do not include 'spammed' cantrips - for example, Merinthe generally keeps re-casting* guidance *on herself every minute or so when the party is traveling or she is keeping watch, but this is not tracked here; similarly, during Arc 1, Week 5 (and on other occasions), Zook kept casting* minor illusion *every round to create a sort of 'leash' by which Eustace would follow. These totals are not included in this table.*
Firbolg

An isolated race that stand at 8-9ft with  tall but are completely unlike other giant beings. They are gentle folk, living in a small village of only Firbolg in Gordan they create the best alcohol on Old Terra and trade it in Dandroth but other than that they are a very reclusive race and little is known about them. Standing at an imitating 8-9ft tall, Firbolg stick out like a sore thumb and thus their reclusive nature. both women and men Firbolg grow facial hair and have very pale skin.
Halfling (Lightfoot and Stout)

A cheery and polite race, halflings stand at the same height as most gnomes but have a much more human appearance to them. living up 150 years old, halflings reside in their homeland of Norhill and its forests and planes. Used to the comforts of home and easy living halflings aren't known to be the adventuring sort but it’s not unlikely for a younger member of more lively family to run of in search of something new and exciting. Halflings have only participated in the Dirt War and not in the War of Moonlight.

Stout halflings are hardier and more resilient. Lightfoot halflings are faster.
Shifter

Shifters resemble humans but with more animal like features. Their bodies are physically fit and lithe, they tend to move around in an animal like manner, crouching, springing and leaping. Like cats they have wide flat noses with large eyes, pointed ears and claw-like nails on both their toes and fingers. Their hair is thick and worn long and some have long sideburns to match. Shifters commonly have chaotic personalities and experience extremes in their emotions. They are often temperamental and are liable to change moods in swift and dramatic fashion. Shifters find it difficult to control their emotions, especially in stressful situations. Some have learnt to control their emotions however, it is obvious to others that they're finding it difficult to do so.
Dragonborn (Metallic)

Dragoborn are a all (6-7ft) reptilian race of diverse beings. dragonborn first came over Da Vath from the Madlands and moved into Pluton, No one is absolutely certain when the dragonborn came about, but it is believed that the World Dragon created them as servants of the first dragons. Of course, now dragonborn and Dragons have very little relation aside from appearance. Dragonborn come in the same colors as dragons, generally taking on the traits of the dragon type they match. As per the way of Dragons, Metallic Dragonborn are described as primarily good, while Chromatic Dragonborn are primarily evil. Dragonborn also have the power of Breath Weapon commonly associated with dragons. Dragonborn are few and far between, mostly living in small tribes in between the mountains of Pluton. The only exception to this is Flamesreach, a rather large city-state founded by Dragonborn due to its placement in a crater rather similar to the craters in the madlands.
Grippli/Bullywug

A race of amphibious beings resembling tree frogs that live in a village called Grop on the Ashen side of the Beimong rainforest. All Grippli have names beginning with the letter G and its often parents will call all their children the same name as to avoid embarrassment all together. They stand at 1 to 1'5ft tall and can range from green to blue skin tones with red eyes. Its rare to find a Grippli outside and there land is an officially recognized, by both Ashe and Rune, protected area.
HLX-4

"*Rapid firing submachine gun, that rechambers when the trigger is released.*"
- In game Descrpition

The HLX-4 is a very over powered submachine gun. It has a rechambering function on it so when a player stops shooting, the gun rechambers. People hate this weapon because of its high rate of fire ( unless they have it ). It can be obtained by opening a supply drop and getting the weapon.
Triton

Tritons resemble aquatic elves in their upper half, but their lower halves are more fish-like, with scaly legs and webbed feet. They favor tridents over other weapons. Tritons are of the outsider type but native to the Material Plane, though they are thought to originate from the Elemental Plane of Water. Tritons are able to magically summon water elementals and other creatures of the sea to come to their aid.
Carud

**Carud** is a continent located across a great sea to the south of Izal. It is marked by many rugged and steep mountain ranges, boiling deserts that stretch beyond the horizon and twisting rivers. It is a land filled with constant warfare among its many realms. It currently serves as the original point for the Crisis in the Bellj mini-campaign.

## Realms

### Kingdom of Kularem

Kularem is the most northern kingdom in Carud, it is populated mainly by humans. It is a land that is known across the continent for its military prowess and traditions. It is a land ruled by the Warrior-Lords in a feudal system of government.

### Adeta Republic

Adeta is located to the southeast of Kularem and has a strong rivalry with them. The two kingdoms have had a very long history of wars together with particular conflict around the time of the sealing of the Gods.

### Orar

Orar is a Dwarven kingdom located in the southwestern mountain ranges of the continent, Mountain Dwarfs being its only citizens. It is led by a long line of Sorcerer Kings. Its capital city is Rohak, located deep within the largest mountain of the continent.

### The Great Orc Lands

Orcs control almost all of the eastern lands of Carud, with many many subdivisions among them.

### The Bellj

A buffer state between Kularem and Adeta. Headed by the late Statesman.
Human

As one of the more numerous and far reaching races on Old Terra, humans can be found all over. Humans range from around 5-6ft and have a variety of skin tones from white to peach to copper to dark brown. Humans are well respected almost everywhere but aren't terribly welcome in Dandaroth, the Dwarven capital, after the War of Moonlight but relations are improving, albeit slowly. They have forever been allies with elves and halflings and get along well with most other races but that can't be said for all humans seeing as their views differ greatly from person to person.  Humans have participated in all great wars on Old Terra and are often said to be one the most war-like races beside dwarves and Dragonborn.
Genasi

Genasi were human-derived plane-touched infused with the power of the Elemental Chaos, most often as the result of crossbreeding between humans and the powerful genie races or other elementals that dwell in such planes. Physically powerful and cunning, Genasi were a varied race with abilities that varied depending on their lineage and individual experience. Genasi were physically similar to humans in many ways, standing between 5'7" and 6'2" on average, just slightly taller than the average human. Weighing between 130 and 225 lbs on average, genasi were often also a fair bit heavier, though not significantly so. Unlike many plane-touched races, genasi generally took pride in their unusual features.
Ander

Ander is an NPC first encountered in Episode 28.

Ander has kept most things about himself secret. He claims to be a part of the Runehunters Guild and was an archaeologist looking into the ruins where Deathcrawl and Aisling had set up shop. He was captured and locked in a cell but the party later stumbled across him and set him free.

Ander told us how the Runehunters Guild uncovered a large horn buried somewhere far to the north of our current location in the underdark. The Cult of the Dragon seemed to be interested in uncovering it but Ander claimed he did not have the chance to study it and knew very little about the horn itself.

Not much is known about the man but he seems to be some variety of human mage and agreed to travel with the party until they reach Nexus Upsilon. Upon arriving there, he split from the party. When asked about Ander, Tnebrous claimed not to know anyone by the name of Ander, despite the fact that he was in a cell near Tristram, who had been "captured" on Tenebrous' orders.
Kobold

A reptilian race that somewhat resemble Dragonborn but smaller (around 2 to 2,5ft). with skin of red hues they have a rather aggressive race, and often not taken seriously due to their size. Clothing is unnecessary in Kobold culture and battle between each other to resolve simple to more severe arguments a lot faster and easier than most other races. Kobold sided with dwarves during the War of Moonlight and have a general distaste for elves. Kobolds are often viewed as peasants and there aren't any noble Kobold families to speak of, the race is scattered but mostly found in West.
Gnome (Forest and Rock)

Rock gnomes are the most common and when people talk about the race the image of rock gnome comes into their head. With a forever young heart and always find ways to have fun. Native gnome towns in Rune are often just slightly underground, with connected burrows and wooden dams.

A rarer type of gnome is the forest gnome who is mostly unknown by outsiders. They live in deep woodland stretching from Rune to Pluton and live harsher lifestyles to their brethren. They grow their hair much longer than other gnomes and prefer to tinker with anything they can find, always curious. Both sub types look practically identical and are not often referred to as forest of Rock by anyone who isn't Gnome.
Thieves' Guild

Most major cities - and even some minor ones - find themselves home to a thieves' guild. Ensuring and enforcing the adage of 'honor among thieves', these guilds often serve as a place for thieves' to find jobs, peddle their spoils, and obtain adjudication for any disputes across their membership.

### Other Presence

Kalan
Klortho
Urach

## Faction Politics

### Enemies

N/A

Located 'formally' out of the Ratskull Inn in Kalan, little is known of the inner workings of the Kalan Thieves' Guild. Many of the thieves, brigands, and urchins in and around the Twin Dagger Cities have traded with the guild's membership, but the leadership structure remains a mystery - likely owing to their partnership with Falkrunn Lutgehr, who runs the most successful information brokerage in the two kingdoms.
Hobgoblin

They have dark orange or red-orange skin with hair that is red-brown to dark gray. Their training has given them a proficiency with a multitude of weapons and armor. They are the strategic thinkers in the goblinoid race and hold an extreme hatred for elves. Their cavalry is known to ride Worgs. The hobgoblin fears cowardice more than dying. They start becoming soldiers the minute they can start walking. They have a high military standard, but they are not just a military. They have farms, traditions, and they build. However, under all of this, they are brutal and have "little space for joy or leisure in their lives". They have ranks to obtain through honor and glory. Their lowest rank starts with the soldier and the highest rank is the warlord.

Jimmy Wales

Jimmy Donal "Jimbo" Wales is an American Internet entrepreneur. He is the co-founder and promoter of the online non-profit encyclopedia Wikipedia, and the for-profit Wikia web hosting company. Wales was born in Huntsville, Alabama, where he attended Randolph School, a university-preparatory school. Later, he earned bachelor's and master's degrees in Finance from Auburn University and the University of Alabama, respectively.

While in graduate school, Wales taught at two universities; however, he departed before completing a PhD to take a job in finance, and later worked as the Research Director of a Chicago, Illinois, futures and options firm. In 1996, he and two partners founded Bomis, an adult web portal featuring entertainment and adult content. The company would provide the initial funding for the peer-reviewed free encyclopedia, Nupedia (2000–03), and its successor, Wikipedia.

On January 15, 2001, with Larry Sanger and others, Wales launched Wikipedia—a free, open content encyclopedia that enjoyed rapid growth and popularity; as Wikipedia's public profile grew, he became the project's promoter and spokesman. He is historically cited as a co-founder of Wikipedia, though he has disputed the "co-" designation, declaring himself the sole founder.

In 2004, he co-founded Wikia, a for-profit wiki hosting service. His role in creating Wikipedia, which has become the world's largest encyclopedia, prompted Time Magazine to name him in their 2006 list of "The 100 Most Influential People in the World".

## **How to choose hinges?**

**What is a hinge:**

A hinge is a device used to connect two objects and allow them to rotate relative to each other. Hinges are typically composed of rotational connections on two planes, enabling the two objects to rotate around a common axis. They have a wide range of applications across various uses, from furniture and doors/windows to mechanical equipment and industrial structures.

The primary function of hinges is to provide a rotational connection, enabling two objects to rotate relative to each other in one or more planes. This rotation can be unidirectional or bidirectional, depending on the design of the hinge. Hinges can be employed to achieve different types of motion, such as opening, swinging, tilting, and more.

**Types of hinges:**

According to different needs and applications, hinges come in various shapes, sizes, and materials. Some common types of hinges include:

Butt hinge：Butt hinges are a type of hinge commonly used in various industrial equipment such as industrial enclosures, cold storage units, and refrigeration cabinets. Their distinguishing feature is that a portion of the hinge is exposed on the exterior.

Concealed Hinge： Used to connect and facilitate the opening and closing of swinging doors or windows. It can be completely hidden within the door frame or window frame when closed, providing a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Sleeve hinge: A sleeve hinge, also known as a bushing hinge, is characterized by the addition of a sleeve to the hinge. The sleeve contains bearings or rollers internally, enabling smoother and more seamless rotation of the hinge.

Heavy-Duty Hinge: A heavy-duty hinge is a type of hinge used to connect oversized heavy doors, windows, ships, mechanical equipment, and more. It is characterized by its strong load-bearing capacity and high durability.

Torque Hinge: A torque hinge is a mechanical component used to connect two objects and enable them to rotate. They can be employed in various applications, such as doors, hatches, lids, and even in industrial and commercial settings where support for weight and greater forces and torques is required.

These are just a few examples of hinge types; in reality, there are many other variations and types that cater to different applications and scenarios. Regardless of the hinge type, they all need to balance rotational connectivity and motion with considerations for safety, durability, and appropriate material selection.

Personality-wise, he is reclusive, eccentric and peace-seeking. Due to his disabilities he is confined to live a life of relative solitude, even though he does so by desire, and dedicates his life to his work as a philosopher and as the owner of Philosocom.com

On April 2022, in his quest for relevance, Rubinshtein founded a political ideology called **Political Rubinshteinism**, or simply **Rubinshteinism** which lies on the right-wing, libertarian part of the political compass. It is distinct by the fact that it also influenced by Rubinshtein's teachings regarding society and the sanctity of democracy. Click **here** for an overview.
