Enviris

**Enviris** is the Demon Lord of Envy.

## History

Enviris is one of the oldest Demon Lords, to the point that some question whether he is a full deity. They are

In recent times, Enviris made a particularly important contact with the mortal plane by attempting to pervert the souls of Cale Riverdane and Carine Summerwing of Veriga. He was banished back to the Deep from whence he came upon a failed possession of the young celestial sorceress.
Dawnwalker

The **Dawnwalker** was the name taken by an elderly Kitsune who ruled as a living god amongst the population of Nanzón. When he died, his place was taken by a fake, who in reality was the half-dragon half-elven demigod named **Rengit the Keeper**. The body seen by the kitsune is an astral projection of Rengit to the material plane from his own demiplane.
Laurel Hedgenettle

**Laurel Hedgenettle** is a Fiend Spawn cleric of Shyver from the city of New Telomere. She is a deeply kind and loving person, who truly believes in the power of friendship and the ability to persevere to accomplish any goal.

Laurel spent many years going on various pilgrimages through the Redwall Desert to various holy sites, and eventually became the highest priestess of the faith in her hometown, to the point she was a trusted insider in the court of the Sultan Bardek.

When the party of Alphonse Seabrook, Fýrgnást Færscyte Mæslingr, Kityu Durinn, and Artemis of Sunhaven came to New Telomere, she was still in the process of returning from a pilgrimage to Rainbase. Upon her return, she learned from these adventurers (minus Alphonse and Artemis who had been captured by Saborys Skinweaver) that her goddess Shyver had been captured by the villainous Zithi, and pledged to join in the fight to stop her.

She was instrumental in defeating the New Telomere Underground, and eventually resurrected and mind controlled Saborys (after she was turned into a rabbit by Thimble Goodfellow).
Akihito

**Akihito** is the capital of the Oyashiman Empire. Known by it's nickname **Steam City**, it is a unique city submerged into Emperor's Bay.

### Layout

The city is situated on a stone platform about 300 feet below the sea level of the bay. The sea rushes over the gap in a 360° waterfall, that pours into a circular crack in the earth that leads into a magma well. Huge plumes of steam rush forth from this crack, and steam rushes forth from holes all around the base of the city. This steam is channeled for use in hundreds of ways, especially steam powered elevators, pneumatic messaging tubes, and heated water throughout the entire city. The core of the city is a large man-made stone structure shaped like a tree that rises from the base up over the lip of the sea and further into the sky. The Stone Tree, as it is called, holds many of the most important buildings in Akihito, though there are many buildings on the base level as well. At the very top of the Stone Tree is the Emperor's Sakura Palace.
Dragon Slayer

A **Dragon Slayer**  is a person who has killed a dragon. It is a lofty title held only by the most fearsome and terrible of warriors, and often gives someone a lot of prestige and clout in their societies, if it is known. Many successive waves of dragon slayers were involved in the Wars of Dragon Eradication in Gernon.

### List of Dragon Slayers

* Adele Tellumnar - Killed many dragons over the course of the eradication.
* Alek Tellumnar - Not a prolific dragon slayer like his older sister, but was involved in some battles in his time.

	+ Rocco Brightmane/Uno
	+ Forrest Brightmane
	+ Atarka Dragonborn

Greater Wish

**Greater Wish** is the most powerful magic known to the races of Gern. Considered by many to be the power of the gods, a greater wish is able to rewrite the nature of reality, essentially stating a new version of nature to be true. There are few to no limits on a greater wish, as essentially only the power of a rival deity or another greater wish can negate the effect.

One of the only known ways to access a Greater Wish without the intercession of a deity is the Library of Infinite Sands.
Honigpunkt

**Honigpunkt** is a town in the Whispering Woods. Situated on the western reaches of the Leaf River, it has long been the major city in the southern half of the woods. Following the integration of the woods into the Scientarian Empire, the Emperor added a branch of the Tellumnar Canal heading down from the north passing the settlement.

The town is well known for its massive honey production. The region is filled with flowers and fruit trees of various kinds and the large apiaries produce tons of honey for export or local use.

The town is traditionally ruled by a local noble called the Honig Konig or Honey King. They tend to be chosen from the ranks of the beekeeping druidic elves of the region.

During summer there is a large Honey Festival, where games, music, competitions, food, and more are all a part of the fun.
Brimstone Canyons

The **Brimstone Canyons** are a massive network of canyons in southern Gernon. They lie on the Brimstone Peninsula, and are home to some of the most lucrative mineral deposits in the world, particularly sulfur, dozens of sulfide ores, nitre (saltpeter), and copper. The mining operations here are credited with the origin of gunpowder.

### Important Locations

* Sulfur Pit
* Saltpeter Gulch
* Blomore
* River Brim
Arthur Pendragon

**Arthur Pendragon** was a king in a past life on a distant world, who after dying became a rider in the Wild Hunt, eventually rising to become their king as he was amongst men.

He was involved in the Demonic Invasion of Caliyan as the leader of one faction in the struggle to court the favor of Dru Petals, though pulled out of the contest after seeing the bravado of Rocco Brightmane and being offered Nectar of the Gods in payment.

Later on he interacted with Rocco again when called to assist in battle against the Scientarian Army near the Great Waterfall of Taki-Pubu. He had been asked on behalf of Hana-Hime, a floral kami of the Masako rainforest.
Lungzhung

**Lungzhung**, also known as **The Dragon Lands**, is a continent in the southern hemisphere of Gern. It lies to the east of the Chain Sea. Very little is known about this land save for the traders that speak of them across the chain isles. The legends say that the land is ruled by ancient godlike dragons, and their humans spend all day working to offer them homage and food.
Ipsocycle

The **Ipsocycle** is a technological device that uses a steam engine to move a two wheeled vehicle on land. Much nimbler than the bulky and slow Ipsomobiles, they have become the fastest pursuit option on land for Scientarian Army troops in the field. While they are next to useless in rough terrain, in regions with plains such as valleys and farmland, they are highly useful tools. Top speed of an ipsocycle in 40 asr is around 50 mph.
Lucifer

**Lucifer**, also known as **Satan**, The **Arch-Pit Fiend**, the **Arch-Devil**, and **The Bringer of Light** is the lord of Devilkind, and the supreme authority over Hell. He is often considered the supreme deity of Law and Evil.

## Church and Worshippers

The Luciferian Church of Gernon is a widespread organization with more public acceptance than in other parts of the world despite holding no official power. Most of the Luciferian worshippers of Gern worship in seclusion inside of Good aligned lands, or as the sole accepted faith in lands dominated by devil worship.

Ethereal Plane

The **Ethereal Plane** is an invisible dimension that lies directly on top of and throughout the material plane. Usually only entered for a short period of time, the ethereal plane is where one goes if they engage in astral projection, but they can also send their entire bodies to the plane. It is also known as the **In-Between**, as it is thought that one's soul travels through the ethereal plane to enter the Dreamlands. Many undead spirits are also known to exist on this plane, either trapped in an invisible limbo, or as a conduit of secret travel between parts of the material plane.
Hilton

Hilton, properly written as Hill Town, is a regional town in the kingdom of Veriga. Mostly serving as an administrative center for mining operations in the foothills of the Jomor Mountains, Hilton is a relatively prosperous little town.

There is a depleted gold mine in the middle of town that was once the source of much wealth for the kingdom, though now the mining takes place farther afield.
Gespla the Plague General

Gespla the Plague General was a demon serving under Vile Cruelty. A large insectoid monstrosity, he led the Demonic Invasion of Marenwald in 40 asr, but failed in his goals and was killed by the Seekers of Divinity. Gespla regularly employed infectious diseases in his attacks on mortals, thus earning his moniker. In his final battle, after failing to break the siege of the city, Vile devised a contest where Gespla would battle Rocco Uno, Forrest Brightmane, Karrthus Dragonborn, and Atarka Dragonborn. If Gespla could kill them on his own, he would keep his command despite his failures. If he was killed, then Vile got to enjoy watching the battle and would return the captured Broland Skazmuppet to the victors.
Goblin

He appointed Brynhildyr Torgrym to be his chancellor following her successful fight against Phentis.
Helevera the Envious

**Helevera the Envious** was a demon and powerful necromancer in the employ of Vile Cruelty. Considered one of the most competent and administrative of the demon lord's lackeys, Helevera organized the majority of Vile's insane plans into commands that could actually result in success. She was deeply in love with the childish Demon Lord, but he never returned her affections as he was disgusted by her demonic form. She frequently employed illusion magic to appear as a beautiful drow woman to make Vile happy. While Zaiyen Liloki was cursed into insanity and evil, Helevera consistently She commanded undead forces in the Demonic Invasion of Caliyan and nearly died before escaping. She was finally killed during the Demonic Invasion of Akihito by the efforts of Judix Grigallu and Fizzbang.

Javi Choimbert

**Javi Choimbert** is the Count of Hilton. An obsessive scholar, he frequently neglects his duties to focus on his personal studies, letting his little brother Bors take over the boring role of administrating the town, mines, farms, and civic government. He made a marriage proposal to Carine Summerwing after being pestered to find a suitable wife for years, but his brusque attitude put her off immediately. If anything, he was relieved, preferring his bachelorhood and freedom.
Bufo

**Bufo** is a paralytic and hallucinogenic drug created from poisonous frogs. It is used primarily to make poison darts, but Fizzbang the goblin alchemist regular uses it to augment his alcoholic beverages. King Kusetare of Kurosekai is a fan of these beverages, and has employed Fizzbang as his personal drink producer due to this affinity.
Great Plains

The **Great Plains** are a massive expanse of lifeless wastes that separate the continents of Gernon and The Land of Giants.

## Physical Qualities

As one travels east from Gernon or west from The Land of Giants, the land progressively becomes more desolate and devoid of living creatures. The land is in a state of magical blight, where the over 2000 miles of land east to west is completely uninhabitable. There is no water, rain, hills, mountains, plants, or terrestrial animals. Birds are known to travel over parts of the plains on migration, but rarely stop due to the lack of food or water. The soil itself is a gravelly and barren thing, without moisture, worms, or anything organic at all.

## Exploration

Due to the absurdly inhospitable conditions, very few races have attempted to cross or explore the plains. Legends tell of people who were forced into the plains for crimes, and suffered terribly until dying of thirst and starvation. Recent exploratory missions by the Scientarian Empire have begun to create the first bases in the plains, with constant resupply from the west. Construction of roads on the shifting rocky ground is difficult, but possible with enough effort.
Caliyan River

The **Caliyan River** is the largest and widest river in central Gernon, often expanding over 5 miles wide as it passes through the open plains. Fed by the waters coming out of Lake Kumota, itself fed by the river systems of the Antax Mountains and the Kald Heights, the majority of the freshwater in Gernon eventually lets out through the Caliyan River.
Kobold

**Kobolds**, also known as **Lizardfolk** or **Dragonfolk**, are a race of Gern. A variable race, Kobolds can appear as small as a Halfling or as large as an Orc, depending on their ancestry or other qualities. They are distinguished by their reptilian appearance, with scales and sharp teeth and claws.
Frey

**Frey** is a small city situated at the confluence of the Yellow River and the Caliyan River. Located within the Kingdom of Kurosekai, Frey serves as a major point of trade with the settlements in the Pale Grasses, and is known as a severely crime ridden cesspool of a city because of the influence of gangs, tribal leaders, questionable business interests, and more. The Frey Meat Market is one of the largest in the kingdom, with huge herds of animals driven from tribes and ranches in the pale grasses making their first stop in civilization at Frey.
Caldor Coralheart

**Caldor Coralheart** is an Undine prince of the Sorenzan Empire.

In his youth he was a childhood friend of Carine Summerwing, and later became her lover for a short fling.

His older sister is Valiya Coralheart, who participated in the International Princess Competition in 298 AM. He attended the competition to support his sister. He is the 14th child of the Sorenzan Emperor, and thus does not expect to rule.
Forrest Brightmane

**Forrest Brightmane** (born 2 bsr) is a half-elf plant warlock, and partner to Rocco Brightmane/Uno.

### Early Life

Born in Kurosekai shortly before the Scientarian Revolution to Amber Brightmane and Monty Hoheim, Forrest grew up during the transition between the old regime, the scientarians, and the reign of King Kusotare I. He attended a special school set up by well to do citizens to help half-elf children have a sense of community and pride. It was there that he became close friends with Fiona Leafwind. His father supposedly died in 12 asr after being conscripted into the Scientarian Army and forced to fight in the Whispering Woods against a powerful necromancer. This left Forrest and his mother alone, which profoundly impacted the young man's life. He delved deeply into his studies, particularly botany and medicine like his parents, and once the Scientarians were driven from the city in 15 asr he began to study to become a wizard like his father. In 37 asr, Forrest's mother decided to leave Kurosekai for good, missing her ancestral home in the forest, leaving Forrest in charge of the Green Thumb Apothecary.

### Meeting Rocco

While walking through town one day, Forrest saw a Kurosekai guardsman was challenging people to fights in the street for cash, and noticed an attractive young man taking on the challenge. This was Rocco Uno, a half-simian brawler who was working as a pit fighter at the Pits of Bloodlust. In the fight, Rocco's clothing was torn and his tail popped out, and the racists in the crowd heckled the young man mercilessly. While initially interested in the physicality and attractiveness of the fighter, his heart went out to him following the insults he received. He noticed Rocco's cloak that he had left behind after fleeing from the insults, and went to pick it up and to try and return it to him. He spent a decently long amount of time trying to find Rocco, until eventually finding him getting intensely drunk in a tavern to wash away the sorrows. Forrest returned the cloak, the two got to talking, and despite their differing personalities ended up really liking each other, and started a romantic relationship. They grew incredibly close over that next year, even falling in love.

### Leaving Kurosekai

After Rocco and his compatriots had their first run in with Vile Cruelty, Forrest reluctantly followed Rocco as he went on his journey to Marenwald. Initially planning to propose to his boyfriend to try and keep him from leaving, he considered it too much of a risk to offer an ultimatum and decided to come along.
Kelwas

**Kelwas** is a city on the northern reaches of the Red River in the Redwall Desert.

### Recent History

For decades the city was ruled by the tyrant Zithi (an incarnation of the Spirit of Electricity), until she was ousted by Vel following the grand tournament in 39 asr. Vel ruled the city for a few short months before Zithi returned with a bound Shyver, who she used to annihilate the city in a magical blizzard. The city has been left in a frozen state ever since.
Judix Grigallu

**Judix Grigallu** is a kobold priestess of Lucifer, and a seeker of divinity.

### Early Life and Descent

She was born/conceived by members of an evil cult that was supposed to create an anti-messiah, knowing the parents had extra-planar ties of some kind or another. When she was born displaying angelic qualities, the cult saw this as a massive failure and abandoned her to the wilderness.

However, she was found by a wandering druid and brought to a temple of Sire, where she was raised in the cloth and got an interest in religious service. In her early studies, she went out on a pilgrimage to a remote saint burial temple and found a Luciferian church had taken it over, with legal permission from a corrupt baron. However, she managed to talk to the Luciferian and come to an agreement. In return for reconsecrating and relinquishing this small temple back to Sire's faithful, she would indenture herself to him to make up for the temple rights. She considered this to be necessary for the "greater good".

In her servitude, she was placed as a law bureaucrat for a Luciferian advocate in another city. She learned legislation, luciferian texts on law, and became attracted to the benefit these systems had on maintaining proper order for the "greater good". Harsh criminal penalties meant people avoided crime. It forced people to be better by shifting the frame.

After her servitude there, she decided to become involved in the Luciferian church, thinking she could reform it to be more exclusively focused on lawful pursuits rather than evil. They had some similarities they could compromise on, after all. However, she found herself having to adopt the tactics of her evil allies to get ahead in the highly individualistic group. She thought that if at least she was the biggest and baddest member of the faithful, that would keep the others in check. This was for the greater good after all.

Judix's personal views of Lucifer changed over time as well, believing that he wasn't as monstrous as he was often made out to be. He was one of the oldest of the gods, and fought against beings such as Kalderus. He kept the gods in order and the cosmos running smoothly. It was really all those misbehaving lesser devils that didn't follow the party line that messed up everything and required his harsh system.

Somewhere in this process, she had an epiphany and dove deep and deep into Luciferian lore, developing her fascination with punishing devils. By punishing weak devils, she would be rooting out Lucifer's betrayers, while also ensuring fewer devils arrived onto the material plane. This was all for the greater good. Even oppressing and subjugating other people was for the greater good if it meant it inspired heroes to rise up against it. And those that were crushed were too weak anyways.

### Rising in the Church

Judix spent the next hundred years or so in the church slowly rising through the ranks, eventually becoming an adjudicator.
Alexandre Dvali

**Alexandre Dvali** is a prince of Aliyah, and the husband of Duchess Carine Summerwing. A Sylph, he is very waifish, but handsome and kind. He met Carine during the International Princess Competition held in Veriga in 298 AM, where he came in support of his lifelong friend Malalai Jinnah who competed in the games.

Initially introduced to Carine by her friends Frank Hayes and Naoko Yama (who had met him while they honeymooned in his homeland), they eventually fell in love and decided to wed. He is the father of their daughter, Amber Summerwing.
Caliyan Delta

The **Caliyan Delta** is a delta where the Caliyan River branches within the southern reaches of the Cranborne Swamp. The delta is approximately 40 miles wide from the farthest reaches west and east. The largest branch leads to the capital of Caliyan. The delta is important to Caliyan's land defenses, as any army wishing to march on the city from east or west would need to cross over a dozen fast moving rivers.
Kami

**Kami** are a class of spirits created by the gods to defend particular sites of nature, objects, animals, or shrines. If they are particularly powerful and long lived, they are often worshipped as minor deities themselves. These beings straddle the line between native creatures of the material plane and extradimensional beings of pure spirit.

### Known Kami

Dandelion Lodge

The **Dandelion Lodge** is an apartment complex in Kurosekai. The building was used for years as the home for many of the fighters at the Pits of Bloodlust, with their rent paid for my Broland Skazmuppet. When Broland was kidnapped and presumed missing in 40 a.s.r., the proprietors cruelly evicted all of the tenants the dwarven bard had been paying to upkeep.

After the conclusion of the Seekers of Divinity campaign, the building was bought out by Rocco Brightmane and Forrest Brightmane to turn into a halfway house/orphanage.
Kald Heights

The **Kald Heights** are a mountain range in the northeast of Gernon. Part of the range that includes the Dorry Hills, the mountains take a sharp rise in height around Arkmore. Though only a moderately high range, it is a frozen nightmare especially as you approach the Whispering Sea. Once the domain of the great Empire of Frost ruled by White Dragons and their allies, the realm was destroyed by Dragon Slayers over the course of the Wars of Dragon Eradication. Today it is filled with ruins of that civilization, and barbarian hillfolk living a simple existence in the rubble.
Ennead

The **Ennead** is the elite council of nine members that rule the Daluxian Sultanate. While the head of state is the Sultan, the Ennead controls much of the levers of government. The members of the Ennead use their titles in replacement of their birth names, and are always referred to by this title/name in official communications.
Compendium of the Sciences and Natural Physics of Gernon

The **Compendium of the Sciences and Natural Physics of Gernon** or simply **Adele's Compendium** is one of the most important series of books on Gernon. It was published in 30 a.s.r. It is a twelve volume series describing all the known scientific principles known at the time. Adele gained much of the knowledge from over 100 years of research, and knowledge gained from the devilish god Lucifer, who was indebted to her and others for helping defeat his unruly subordinate Phentis.

### Major advances detailed in the Compendium

Asahi Ryu

**Asahi Ryu** was the ambassador to the Scientarian Empire on behalf of the Oyashiman Empire in 38 asr. His argument with a trustee of BL° and his successive hand amputation at the hands of Adele Tellumnar were the catalyst for the Scientarian-Oyashiman War. He died during the conflict while leading an attack on Belleza. A member of the royal family of Oyashima, he was nephew to Kenji Ryu and cousin to Hakon Ryu.
Kay the Cursed

**Kay the Cursed** was a Vampire Lord active on the southern continent of Jugurtha. Originally a serial killer from Veriga, after being turned into a vampire he became one of the most powerful of his age, commanding dozens of others and battling on the level of the Masters of Khurash Academy.

1/day: Siphon Might

This +5 Noqual Fate-Stealing, Jealous, Harvesting Greataxe constantly desires to steal the power their enemies have. Longren’s Fate-Stealing and Harvesting abilities are double in strength, meaning that they take 2 points instead of 1 of Grit, Panache, or Mythic Powers depending on the circumstances. Even if the wielder does not have a mythic tier, the wielder counts as mythic for the purposes of the Harvesting ability.  On a Critical Hit, Longren deals 1d6 points of ability drain depending on the results of a 1d3 roll to either strength (1), dexterity (2), or constitution (3). These points are transferred to the wielder for the next 24 hours as a temporary untyped ability score bonus.
Endless Oceans

The **Endless Oceans** comprise the waters that separate the western coast of Gernon and the eastern coast of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_(giantland). The ocean is so named due to the incredible distances needed to reach new land from either of the continents. The ocean is over 15,000 miles east to west, and encompasses the entirety of the sea between the Equatorial Sea and the Whispering Sea. There are several islands and archipelagos in this sea near the continents, but almost none in the deep interior, and those are all but unknown. No sailors are known to have crossed this sea and lived to return with information of what they found.

The seafloor of the Endless Oceans is another matter entirely. There are large communities of aquatic races living in their own undersea realms, often completely removed from contact with the land dwellers. In some of the deeper rifts near the center of the Endless Oceans there are even cities of ancient and terrifying creatures thought lost to history.
Cornelia Bass

Master **Cornelia Bass** is the Necromancy Master of Khurash Academy. She is one of the oldest Masters at the academy.

It is unknown how many bodies she has inhabited to prolong her life.
Half-Elf

**Half-Elves** are a race of Gern. They are almost always the result of the union of an Elf and a Human, though rare combinations of elves and other humanoid races have been known to exist. Having the traits of both of their parents, Half-Elves tend to be outsiders in their societies, though some tight knit half-elf enclaves are known to exist.

### List of Half-Elves

* Forrest Brightmane
* Harkalios -
* Sofia Salamandra- Master of Fire for Khurash Academy
Elven Fire Herb

**Elven Fire Herb** is a magical drug primarily grown in the Spice Coast and originates in the Silver Tree Forest. It was sold by BL° and other merchant corporations, and is a vital component of BL° Fire Ale. It is moderately addictive and gives the user a warm feeling inside that increases cold tolerance for about 1 hour for every 1 grams ingested per 100 lbs of bodyweight. For example, a 200 lb human would have 1 hour of effect if he ingested 2 grams. A 50 lb gnome would have the same duration after taking just half a gram. Withdrawal symptoms include going into a fit of rage for about 12 seconds. Some cases have shown Elven Fire Herb to cause the user to shoot fire out of their mouth, nostrils and ears, but leaving the user unharmed. Some believe it to be correlated with certain types of users, while others believe it to be related to certain strains of the herb. There was discussion in the Scientarian Parliament about banning the drug, but lobbying efforts from the BL° trustees kept the product legally on the market.
Maggor Forest

The **Maggor Forest** is a forest made of petrified stone. The forest used to be a temperate bush forest, but Maggor's earth magic petrified the massive trees into a forest made of stone. Legends tell that in a fit of rage and despair, his powerful magic went out of control and destroyed much of the lush plant life of the northern forests. This resulted in him launching a huge amount of the land upwards, creating the Maggorian Highlands as well.

The forest lies to the north of the Redwall Desert, and east of the Maggorian Highlands.
Dreamlands

The **Dreamlands** or **The Dreaming** are a plane where souls can see and interact with others during sleep. It is a mutable land where a soul's dreams are manifested for the dreamer to see, and beings made of dreamstuff live. One can enter the Dreamlands with a material body, but entering this space is highly dangerous, as the mutable nature of the plane is unpredictable and can easily kill you. Baku, the god of dreams, is said to hold court in the dreamlands.
Black Walls of Kurosekai

The **Black Walls of Kurosekai** are a circular fortification that encloses the central district in Kurosekai. Approximately 40 feet tall, and about 1 mile in diameter, they are an imposing feature in the city. Their main interest is that they are made of a material known as Kuro Stone, a seemingly unbreakable substance known to be created only by the Skytouched Giants. The walls were originally created by a giant living in the region thousands of years before human settlement, where they were used as a small pen for mastodon. In modern times, the walls make for an almost impregnable fortress for the center of the city.
Clockwork Construct

**Clockwork Constructs** are a kind of construct creature made of interlocking clockwork parts. A favorite creation of scientific engineers, they are entirely nonmagical in nature.

Alek Tellumnar was a famous clockwork enthusiast, who created some of the finest clockwork constructs, and the first known Clockwork Androids.
Hana-Hime

**Hana-Hime** is a toshigami (Flower kami) who protects the jungles of Masako. The Seekers of Divinity elicited her help when they discovered a Scientarian ploy to burn down the forests of the island.

## History

### Ancient History

The city's ancient founding is lost to the knowledge of the current inhabitants, but it was actually founded by the Giants. The original city was was wholy within the Black Walls of Kurosekai, a mysterious structure of unbreakable black stone called Kuro Stone. It was a small city of the giants built about 8000 b.s.r., but was abandoned following the migration of the majority of Gernon giants east across the Great Plains. Thousands of years later, human migrants from the south discovered the walls and decided to build a new city within the protective structure.

### First Kingdom of Kurosekai

For hundreds of years before the Scientarian Revolution, the Kingdom of Kurosekai was based out of the city. They were the most powerful nation of the north central Gernon, and competed economically and militarily with Caliyan to the south, Escalus and Delfheim to the North. The most recent dynasty to rule the city was the Hurin family, a human clan that traced their lineage, somewhat erroneously, to the clans that settled the city in the misty past. The city was conquered during the Scientarian Revolution by army led by Alek Tellumnar. The Battle of Kurosekai was a seminal event that resulted in the near total destruction of the old structures of the city, save for the impenetrable central walls and some other scattered and damaged buildings.

### Under the Scientarians

With the Tellumnars in control, the city was completely redesigned and redeveloped under their rationalist concepts of urban planning. The new street system was based off of circles emanating out from the Black Walls, with streets coming out radially like the spokes of a wheel. While Alek initially wanted a perfectly geometric design, Adele convinced him to follow patterns that took into account the river, the topography, and the important city structures that the new rulers wanted to preserve or repair. Thus the current design of the city was laid out over the years from 1-5 a.s.r. Alek ruled in Kurosekai until 15 a.s.r. when Kalderus broke into the material plane of existence and the two fought to the death.

### Union of the West

Following the death of Alek, the bastard son of the former king, Yotokono Kusetare, was chosen to lead a resurgent Kingdom in opposition to the Empire as Kusetare I. Since then, the city has been under the rule of the restored Kingdom and also became the de facto capital of the new Union of the West. Since the resurgence of local rule and the end of the Infernal Wars, the Kingdom has generally recovered to it's pre-revolution standing as a major economic and population center, though complaints as to the poor management of the new king are rampant.

Kingdom of Mesorbia

The **Kingdom of Mesorbia** is a small country in central Gernon. A member of the Union of the West, the kingdom is often thought of as the most insignificant of the realms called kingdoms in the union, behind the Kingdom of Caliyan and the Kingdom of Kurosekai. While generally considered a poor country, Mesorbia is often thought of as a very important historical site for the Mesorban People, as the capital city of Trolton is one of the oldest settlements in central Gernon, and likely the origin for many of the royal houses of the other great Mesorban kingdoms.

### Early Life

Broland was born in 143 bsr to a dwarven family living in the Tateyama Mountains on the island of Tsui in Oyashima. He trained at Mt. Naruhito under Sensei Mizukachi Chisai, but struggled to pay attention and often ended up gallivanting with friends or romantic partners. He gained enough skill as a brawler to attempt to join the Strongest Under the Heavens Tournament, but was unsuccessful of making it past the qualifying rounds. He despaired at the loss, and dove deep into his music. Broland primarily played the bagpipes, a musical instrument popular amongst the dwarves of the mountains. He eventually left Oyashima to seek glory out in the wider world.
Dwarves of Jomor

The **Dwarves of Jomor** is a collective name for the coalition of Dwarven clans that rule over the majority of the Jomor Mountains. They exist as the sovereign entity that maintains diplomatic relations with other countries, though many of the individual clan realms are pseudo-independent.

### Government

The Dwarves of Jomor elect the Monarch of Jomor at a council of the clan elders whenever the previous office holder dies. Their bureaucracy is run with donations from the clans, which are expected though sometimes need to be wrangled away from the greedy leaders hands. In the realm of foreign policy, the Monarch has unquestioning authority to declare war and peace and send diplomats, but has little power besides this major role. Day to day operations of the realm are run by the Clan Governments, each with the holdings owned by individual noble families. These can range from the highly xenophobic and light-fearing Nyx Clan of the Silver Caverns, to the progressive and welcoming Billygoat Clan of the Rainbow Valley.
