Day of Selection

*"Today is the day, young warriors. The day of judgment."*

The Day of Selection is an important coming-of-age experience for young Goliath warriors. A Goliath is eligible to participate when s/he turns fourteen years old.

#### Warring Parties

In Goliath Society, Warring Parties are held in high regard. These are groups or companies of warriors who venture south, past the River of Judges and into the Lonely Mountains in search of battle and glory. Each of the Seven Goliath Clans has its own warring parties, the number and pedigree of which varies between clans. There are also warring parties which do not belong to any specific clan, such as the highly-respected Adventuring Guild.

The Day of Selection is somewhat of a draft for these warring parties.

#### Trials

Young Goliath warriors go through a series of trials to try to impress the various warring parties in attendance. These include bouts of strength, stamina, and fighting technique. Certain warring parties value different elements over others; for example, some are more religious and value knowledge of Kord's teachings.

The trials vary year-by-year but generally include a similar roster of events: wrestling, obstacle courses, and the final bout, where prospective members spar against established ones.

#### Selection

After the trials are complete - they usually last into the afternoon - there is a break where the various parties discuss amongst themselves who they would like to offer membership. Every party is different; some use a democratic system, others elect a panel, and in others, it is solely the discretion of the party leader.

After deliberation, the various parties will contact the young Goliaths they wish to offer a position in their party. It is not uncommon for highly talented warriors to have offers from four or five groups. Most Goliaths get an offer from at least one party.

The youngsters have until sunset of the next day to decide.

If a Goliath does not get an offer, s/he is eligible to try again the next year, until his or her 18th birthday. After this point, they must choose a different path for their lives.
Empress of Winter

*"What do you think about a riddle?"*

 The Empress of Winter is one of the four Greater Fae who share control of the Faewild. While she is the same age as the rest of the Greater Fae, she appears as a very old woman, haggard and bony. However, she has the sharpest mind of all of the Greater Fae, and dedicates it to philosophical thinking and rationality. She does not delight in the death her season brings, unlike the Autumn Queen.

When the Faewild was thrown into chaos, the Empress of Winter was the only one who supported restoring the Seasonkeeper and the balance of seasons.

She is served by Arwench, her Winter Knight.
Cthulu Dark

Cthulu Dark was a side-quest set in the Foothills region of Stin Cepel. It centered around the story of Vyra Winn, a young girl who had gone missing.

#### Events

A young girl went missing one night, much to the dismay of her parents. They held a town hall meeting the next day; Victor, a brash young man, was convinced it was the group of bandits who had been giving the town problems. The parents were not so sure. A small group - including Ashcan Pete, Mick Reedy, and Glenda, the Bad Witch - agreed to investigate.

Through interviews and exploration, the group figured out that Vyra was a troubled young woman. She left disturbing journal entries that had supernatural psychological effects on the group. They found out that she had been sexually assaulted by Victor, and that the town had done nothing to prevent it.

Eventually, the group tracked Vyra down to Darkmoon Cavern, a cave outside of town. They found her, soaked in blood and cradling the body of Victor in her arms. She was a half-human, half-demon creature who had been tainted by life experience and a Book of Cyric.

The group of three convinced her not to give in to the temptations of the book, and took her away from the village to care for her.
Mining Pods

**Mining Pods** are small pods that, as the name suggests, is used for mining.

## Usage

* They were used initially to help mine for Celestial tissue on Knowhere.
* Star-Lord, Gamora and Rocket Raccoon used them to battle Ronan the Accuser and his allies.
* According to Quill, they are indestructible against others.
* They have no weaponry on them.
* They are also not meant for flying outside of Knowhere and into space.
* They can only hold one person, as Rocket told Groot he couldn't come with them. Later, Rocket told Peter they had no choice but to leave Gamora as they wouldn't be able to fit her in with Peter.
Mechs

Mechs are metallic robots originally created by Renraku in Seattle. After the Shutdown of the Matrix, Renraku discovered the Ghost World and connected their experimental Mechs to it; these Mechs became self-aware and effectively wiped out humanity.

#### Types of Mechs

There are various types of Mechs, ranging from huge, heavily armored versions to small recon bots. Some of the known types:

* **Wraiths:** large, heavily-armored walkers
* **Dogs:** Roughly human-sized, able to alter limb positions to take different shapes
* **Vipers:** Small, carry poison
* **Hawks**: Flying recon bots with extensive scanners
* **Spiders**: Small bots, usually appear in swarms and can combine to form Dog-sized Mechs
Brotilla

The Brotilla is a coalition of various sea captains and the ships under their command. They are a flotilla-for-hire who worked for the Coalition during the Astral Civil War.

#### Astral Civil War

During the Civil War, the Brotilla was hired by Jorea, a priestess of Erathis, to break the Consortium blockade of Kilat. After this, they continued to work with the Coalition, providing transportation and other support. They led the naval portion of the War Camp Assault.

#### Members

Membership in the Brotilla is constantly changing, but the long-term members are:

* **Captain Blackroot**, of the *Burning Parchment*
* **Captain Crow**, of the *Storm's Point*
* **Captain Erendor Jaeger**, of the *Armen*
* **Captain Freya**, of the *Valkyrie*
* **Captain Xalba**, of the *Wing's Wind*
Broumov

Broumov is the capital city of Stin Cepel. It is located in the center of the Kingdom, deep in the heart of the Shadowlands. It is the seat of Broumov Castle and House Broum, the royal family of Stin Cepel.

#### History

Broumov was founded roughly 1,200 years before the Harbinger Coup by Queen Lenka IV. She had an eye for design and is responsible for much of the architectural styles in the city. (In real-world terms, they resemble Orthodox Russian-type buildings with domes). Broumov has been the center of many historical events, the most recent being the Battle of Broumov which ended the Harbinger Coup.
King Ivan I

*"Accepting the Drow as refugees does not mean we need to accept every beggar that falls at our feet."*

King Ivan I was the 71st ruler of Stin Cepel. He was the son of Queen Ana II and Prince Tovyn Illium, the first Drow royal of Stin Cepel.

He is not very talked about in historical context. His rule was much less influential than his mother's, and many argue that the progress seen under her rule was slowed or even reversed in some cases under his watch. He is probably best known for two things: as the author of the agreement that resulted in the creation of the the Dragonborn Autonomous Settlement, and as the first biracial ruler of Stin Cepel.
Shadeweaver

*"I will honor my Goddess by protecting my Leige."*

Shadeweavers are holy protectors of the Stin Cepel royal family. Jenova created the position as part of her deal with Queen Ana II during the Shadow Wars.

#### Duties

There have only ever been two Shadeweavers at one time. They do, in a sense, serve two masters - their King/Queen and their Goddess. At any given time, one Shadeweaver must be present with the King or Queen. The other Shadeweaver will, on occasion, be assigned other duties, whether by Jenova or by the royals. Their number one job is to protect the royal family and the realm from threats.

#### Members

Since 445 B.C., there have been many iterations of Shadeweaver pairs. Most of the time, there is a "senior" and a "junior." During the time of the Harbinger Coup, Indar was the "junior" Shadeweaver. However, his partner was killed, and afterwards, so was he.

At the moment, the two designated Shadeweavers are Tolsmir and Tralin. Tolsmir has been busy, so Tralin has been acting as Royal Protector. With both Tolsmir and Jenova gone, however, the future of the Shadeweavers is unclear.
Green Gem

The Green Gem is one of the Seven Colored Gems of Vuul'kira. It contains the soul of a dead Shardmind.

#### Campaign

The Green Gem was located in a cave on the Western edge of Vuul'kira. The cave used to belong to the Moon Elves before they were kicked out by a gang of bandits. Vyona led the Sandstriders to the cave, but by the time they had arrived, the Psychos had wiped out the gang and taken the Green Gem.

When the Sandstriders had gathered the other six gems, Maron reached out to them offering a parlay. An agreement was reached to combine all the gems and open a gate out of Vuul'kira. However, unbeknownst to Maron, The Professor sabotaged the gem. At the Events at the Old Gate, The Professor activated his trap, which made the portal out of Vuul'kira unstable.

When the rest of the Sandstriders had made it out, Pointy, fearing that the Genasi would find a way to follow them, grabbed the gem and used a teleportation power called Faestep. As far as the world knew, Pointy was just gone.

#### The Green One

But, in fact, he wasn't. Pointy's magics, the power of the gem, and the sabotage that had been done to it combined to throw Pointy into an extradimensional space. The soul of the Shardmind imbued in the gem merged with Pointy, and eventually, this new Pointy emerged in Viam.
Glimmer

*"Ho-ho-how are YOUUUUUU?"*

A humanoid owl-creature, Glimmer
is obsessed with all things shiny. He has lived in the Faedark for hundreds of
years and usually tries to either steal or barter for the gemstones and
precious metals of passing travelers. The Sandstriders were no exception; he
made a deal with them to guide them to the entrance to the Faewild in return
for taking him to an area known as the Valley of Twilight to get the treasure
there.
Brak Stormbringer

*"May Kord's Justice act swiftly."*

Brak, Son of Oog, is a Goliath Warpriest of Kord and serves as Kord's representative to the Coalition War Council. He traveled with the Sandstriders during the events of Episode II: Oasis and Episode III: Awakening.

### Backstory

Brak is, first and foremost, a warrior of Kord. A Goliath raised in the territory of his clan, Ganu, Brak proved himself in competitions and fights time and time again. On his Day of Selection, Brak performed so admirably that he was asked to join the Adventuring Guild, one of the most revered warring parties in all the Seven Goliath Clans, by his mentor.

### Campaign

He traveled around the Eastern Continent, defeating foes and seeing wondrous things, until he got into it with a follower of Cyric who banished him to Vuul’kira, where he met and joined the Sandstriders. He remained a part of the group when they returned to the material plane and traveled through the Underdark, Faedark, and Faewild, and left the group during their infiltration into the Eighth Son's compound.

#### Astral Civil War and Aftermath

Brak served as a high-level military planner and agent for Kord in the Astral Civil War, which rendered him unavailable to assist the party on many of their adventures and missions. After planning the War Camp Assault, which turned the tide in the war for good, Brak ensured the mechanisms for continued success, and returned to the Eastern Continent. While he wanted to retire in peace, he was convinced by his clan to challenge **Nallia Stormwatcher** for the position of Kord's Chosen - a fight which he won, becoming leader of the Seven Clans. He died of natural causes - one of the very few Chosen to do so.
Maron

*"Now surely we can work together to come to some kind of...mutual agreement."*

Maron was the Founder and Administrator of Oasis. He ruled the city by quelling dissent and taking an any-means-necessary approach.

#### Backstory

During life, Maron was naught but
a simple city planner. He was one of the people responsible for the redesign of
Anin, splitting it into the Quarter system which has now become its trademark.
Born of a middle-of-the-road family, Maron lived his life within the lines. He
took orders from his superiors, he did his job, he went home – and he was
miserable. When he died and his soul went to Vuul’kira – the Plane of the
Unwanted, his soul unwanted for no reason other than he didn’t stand out in any
way – Maron chose to do something different.

He used his experience dealing
with politicians to gather a coalition of followers. He used his city planning
knowledge to create a new layout for a city he called Oasis. When The Professor came and created
the Veil, Maron enacted his plans and created the only safe and stable outpost
in all of Vuul’kira. However, Maron would not suffer fools or dissidents – he
was through listening to other people’s demands.

#### Campaign

Maron would have been thrilled to
live in Oasis for all of time. However, the supply of Mafari Crystals, which
powers the Veil, had dwindled, and it was obvious that time was running out. In
an effort to ensure his safe departure, Maron made a deal with the Sandstriders
– you bring your crystals, I’ll bring mine, and everyone gets out alive.
However, this deal was blown when a) the Professor sabotaged one of the
crystals and b) Daneida, the changeling, took the Professor’s form and stabbed
Maron in the side. Maron died - for good - during the Events at the Old Gate.
Nadine Andala

*"I feel I need to give this to you...do what you wish with it, throw it out, whatever you want. But I have to give it to you."*

Nadine Andala was a Drow Jenova's Witness and adoptive mother of Indar. She was well-respected across Stin Cepel for her activism and work with the poor.

#### Backstory

While the Church of Jenova has no
true hierarchical structure (other than possibly the Shadeweavers being held in
high religious regard), Nadine Andala was its High Priestess. From the time she
was a girl, she dedicated her life to Jenova and her ideals; she was an expert
in the religion. Along with being a de facto High Priestess, she was also a de
facto mother to Indar, raising him in the faith he came to serve so well.

#### Campaign

Nadine first met the Sandstriders in Anin, after Elendeil told them to seek her out. She found them in the crowd of people watching a speech by Gramorn Duskfell and helped defend them from the mind magic that was being used. She first appeared to them as a cat - she could change form - and eventually agreed to help them find Indar and Princess Vyra.

Nadine had a way of evangelizing
without being pushy. This was no more evident than her interactions with
Tolsmir, a werewolf barbarian who, from an outside perspective, seemed an
unlikely Jenova follower. She traveled with him and the rest of the party
through the Shadowfell and introduced him to the Book of Jenova. When she died
from a sword in the back, Tolsmir kept the book – and the faith, becoming the
next Shadeweaver after Indar was killed.

Like Indar, Nadine is dead, but
is a part of the great tapestry of shadow.
Episode IV: Astral Rifts

***Previous: Episode III: Awakening***

Cyric, having stripped the Council of Three of their divinity and awakened ancient powers, had proven himself strong among the Gods. Many clamored to join him, and to those, he promised
power and glory. Cyric’s Consortium – consisting of Bane, Levistus, Malakai, and Melora – had declared war on Kord’s Coalition, which included Lolth, Asmodeus, and Jenova.

#### Overview

The Sandstriders, having been called to the conflict by Kord, traveled to the Astral Sea using the Tourmaline Turtle. Upon reaching the Astral Sea, the Sandstriders were not greeted by any Gods. They were immediately knocked unconscious by a raging storm, and awoke in a cave, greeted by Eldak, their Dragonborn friend. He convinced them to go further into the cave – which was eventually revealed to be an ancient Temple of Cyric, with pictures of how he came to power. At the end of this temple, Cyric revealed himself to have taken the form of Eldak, and demanded to know where the Temple of the One was. When it became clear the party knew nothing, Cyric stomped off – but not before taking a hit from McCreedy’s Blade of Chaos.

The Sandstriders left the cave and joined the Coalition on Kilat, the Island of Kord. From there, they joined the war effort in earnest, participating in
important missions while still always searching for the Temple of the One.

Missions included fending off a sabotage in Kord's war camp; hunting down a false spymaster and using his intel to find an enemy storage facility; hunting down the origins of Cyric
 in an elemental cave on the Eastern Continent; executing a prison break of Isiri Prison which turned out to be a trap; finding an old Justicar of Bahamut who
knew about the Temple of the One; working with the Hand of the Devil to destroy the enemy supply of Blast Powder; and assaulting an enemy War Camp at
the crux of the Consortium's supply lines.

Throughout
 the Civil War – which lasted two years – the Sandstriders also faced
individual trials that tested their moral compass and explored their past. Quen found her Vis'tani clan; McCreedy dealt with some ghosts from his past; Laz made a drunken pact with Asmodeus; and Tolsmir faced the influence of Bane.

During the War Camp Assault, the Sandstriders discovered the Temple of the One, but not before Cyric did – with the help of Jenova, who he had called his "sister." The Sandstriders overcame the Trials of the Temple and had a showdown with Cyric. This ended when Cyric, Jenova, and Laz disappeared through a rift in spacetime. The Sandstriders followed them through this Astral Rift.

#### The Sandstriders

* Quen Sandstrider
* McCreedy
* Tolsmir
* Laz Ursulus

Seaorin

*"I will cleanse this country in a holy fire. I will usher in the age of purity...whatever the cost."*

#### Backstory

The leader of the fanatical racist group called the Harbingers of Purity. Seaorin, a man whose family used to be one of the more respected ones in Stin Cepel before the Shadow Wars, felt that his station in life was made worse by the coming of the Drow and the intermixing of the races. He had no magical ability of his own, but read about the power of the Greater Fae. He made his way to the Faewild; on the way to meet with one of the Greater Fae, he met Aurora Carter, a human girl living in the Faewild. When she revealed she was in love with an Eladrin, Seaorin became disgusted, believing that any intermixing is foul. He made his way to the Autumn Queen’s lair and struck a deal with her – he would use his power for his own means, but would get her the Seasonkeeper.

On his way back, he saw Aurora again. Wanting to try out his new powers, he killed her. He left the Faewild and went back to the Material Plane. Through the power of the Autumn Queen, the Harbingers of Purity quietly grew stronger. When Gramorn Duskfell contacted him and promised him that the country would be changed with his support, Seaorin threw the full strength of the Harbingers behind Gramorn’s takeover. He assisted Gramorn in killing the royal family – the Harbinger Coup. Then, with Gramorn’s help, he took the Seasonkeeper from the Cerulean Grove and gave it to the Autumn Queen.

#### Campaign

During the coup, Seaorin oversaw much of the relocation of the Drow back into the Shadowfell (then controlled by Lolth). When Gramorn seemed to cut him out of the decisionmaking, he returned to the Faewild to seek more power. Unfortunately for him, in the moment when he thought the Queen would make his enemy into his ally, he was defeated and killed.

This was not the end of Seaorin, though. Cyric, now free, resurrected his body, no longer as a servant of the Harbingers of Purity, but as an agent of madness. While the party was busy elsewhere, he came to Dryadis, killed Indar, and took the now-Queen to his tower in the Planewalker Mountains. When the party confronted him, he locked them all in a mind-cycle before departing.

He returned to Broumov, to Gramorn with tidings. He told him that he had the Queen and that if Gramorn wanted her, he would have to start listening to him. They both served the same God now anyway. Gramorn didn’t like this power play. The relations between the military and the Harbingers had become somewhat icier. That lack of a united front may have contributed to their loss at the Battle of Broumov, where Seaorin was finally killed, once and for all. Before he died, he smiled, and said, “It’s already too late…he is free…Cyric.”

Seaorin left a huge mark on the history of Stin Cepel. The racial flames he stoked still burn to this day. Even though the war is over, tensions are still high, and the country is more divided than it has been since the Shadow Wars.
Gavyn Andolian

Husband of Eve Andolian and father of Jenivieve and Tyana.

Gavyn is not particularly cunning or smart. He is, however, a caring father and a loving husband, even if his wife doesn't seem to share his feelings. Evemie married him because of his family's wealth and power, and nothing more.

Gavyn now sits in House Andolian, counseling his eldest daughter.
Eighth Son

*"If you work for me, we'll all be rich. If not, you'll all be dead. Doesn't make a difference to me but it's your choice."*

The Eighth Son was the most powerful crime lord in Vitaurum.

#### Backstory

Born an eighth son to a poor
family, he was often ignored and mistreated. Generally, life had a low
expectation for him. He used these low expectations to his advantage and
learned how to use his “non-threatening” station to manipulate other people into doing what he wanted them to do. Eventually, he rode this wave all the way to the top of the Vitaurum crime ladder. Known for being incredibly intelligent
and ruthless, the Eighth Son’s power truly cemented when he came across The Professor, who helped empower his soldiers.

#### Campaign

After this stroke of fortune, he began to expand his operations into the Central Continent, sending his assassins Datari and Arzoa to kill his would-be competition (The Mixer) and using a front known as the Path of Light to make inroads in Stin Cepel. However, his meteoric rise was stopped when the Sandstriders broke into his complex and captured him. He is currently sitting in a very well-guarded prison cell in Stin Cepel.
Patrick Koshek

*"Hello there!"*

Patrick Koshek was a human monster hunter who worked for the Harbingers of Purity during the Harbinger Coup. He is twin brother to Richard Koshek.

#### Backstory

As a child, Patrick's parents were both killed in a werewolf attack. Patrick swore to kill any "monster" he could find - the most common being werewolves or vampires. He and his brother set out on this mission together, but his brother was also killed by a werewolf, leaving Patrick alone on his path of vengeance. He traveled around Stin Cepel, taking jobs from nobles who needed certain evil elements dealt with.

#### Campaign

Patrick had taken a job from House Andolian to track down and kill the vampire who had infected their daughter, Tyana, with vampirism. He found the vampire and was clearly overmatched, but the Sandstriders jumped in and helped him win. As thanks, he agreed to guide them to Raj (somewhat against their will). While in Raj, Koshek started tracking down a werewolf he'd heard rumor about. This turned out to be Godras, whom the Sandstriders befriended. A showdown between Koshek and Godras resulted in the Sandstriders defeating Koshek, but allowing him to leave.

#### The Harbingers and the Shadowfell

Koshek, devastated and angry, headed back west, towards the capital. He heard rumor that the Harbingers of Purity bore no love for vampires or werewolves, and he decided to join in their cause. With a group of others, he was tasked with finding Princess Vyra and Indar, who had escaped the grasp of the Harbingers. He eventually did, but not before the Sandstriders had. A final showdown between them in the Shadowfell resulted in Koshek's death.
Lora

*"You won't see me. You won't hear me. You'll never even know I was there. But you* will *know my name."*

Lora was a Drow rogue and key member of Maron's Enforcers.

#### Backstory

Lora grew up in the Underdark, like many other Drow. However, she did not worship the Spider Queen, much to her family's dismay. Lora took up pickpocketing and other small crimes at a young age, eventually graduating to larger steals and even murder. She became obsessed with being the most infamous thief in all the planes.

She came up with a plan to steal the Heart of Kord from Ti'irtha, something all of her colleagues said would be impossible. She did manage to sneak in and steal the heart...but she never made it out and was killed by Ti'irtha before she reached the door.

#### Campaign

Lora's stealth and intelligence-gathering skills made her an attractive candidate for Maron's Enforcers. While she wasn't used to being on the authority side of the law, she soon took to it, giving Maron reports on political dissent in Oasis. It was partially her reports that led Maron to kick out Daneida, Richard Koshek, and many of the others who would form the rebel faction.

Lora was killed by the Sandstriders in the Oasis Tower Control Room.
Okam Naxra

*"Faith, family, and horseflesh."*

Okam Naxra was a Dragonborn militiaman who traveled with Team B and fought during the Harbinger Coup. He died at the hands of the possessed body of Tolsmir in the Planewalker Mountains.

### Backstory

A “family man” through and
through, Okam takes his position in dragonborn society very seriously. As soon
as he was able, he joined the D.A.S. militia, vowing to protect his family. His
training was not without scrapes; during an expedition north, he received a
nasty scar fighting a young dragon wyrmling.

### Campaign

Okam, with the rest of Team B, played an important role in Reclamation, helping to protect Queen Vyra as she paraded through the streets
in the Battle of Broumov.

After Reclamation, Okam received a promotion, as well as the title “Special Liaison to the Queen.” When the Sandstriders were reportedly doing horrible things across the land, Okam joined the team tasked with finding and stopping them. Unfortunately, he was beheaded by fake-Tolsmir before the party came to their senses. An attempted resurrection ritual by Quen failed.
Kord

*"Just shut your mouth and fight."*

**Alignment:** Unaligned

**Domains:** Storm, Strength, War

**Followers:** Kord's Army

Kord is the God of Battle and Lightning. He stands for honor and is regarded as one of the most powerful Gods in the Astral Sea, behind the Council of Three. Since the Council's disappearance, he has filled their leadership void. He created the Coalition to stand against Cyric in the Astral Civil War.
Riftspanner

The Riftspanner is an ancient Artifact found by the Council of Three. They believe it was created by The One.

#### History

When they built the Temple of the One, the Council placed the Riftspanner in its Inner Chamber and created a set of Trials to keep out those who would use it for harmful purposes. It sat there for millennia until very recently, when Cyric overcame the Trials and took it for himself.

#### Use

Not much is known about the Riftspanner or how it works, but it is believed it has the power to open doorways into other dimensions. Cyric used it to open a Rift in the Temple of the One, which he disappeared through with Jenova and Laz Ursulus.
Libor

Libor is a Human bartender. He lived in the town of Osek in Stin Cepel when it was ransacked by bandits as part of the Harbinger Coup, but was rescued by the Sandstriders. He tried to lead his people to safety, but was captured by the Harbingers of Purity and jailed in Anin. He was broken out of the same prison caravan as Tolsmir, Eva, and Eldak by the Sandstriders. He went to the D.A.S. and lived there afterwards. When Styr was destroyed by Malakai, he moved to Broumov.
Dragonborn Autonomous Settlement

The Dragonborn Autonomous Settlement is the home of the Dragonborn of Stin Cepel. While it technically falls under the purview of the Kingdom of Stin Cepel, the D.A.S. is just that - autonomous.

#### History

While the Dragonborn are noble warriors, the creation of the D.A.S. was a largely political one. After hearing of Stin Cepel's victory in the Shadow Wars, the Dragonborn came and spoke to Queen Ana II, requesting they be allowed to settle in Stin Cepel. She agreed, and many thousands of Dragonborn came to live in the kingdom.

However, after a few decades, it became obvious that the cultural differences - and, unfortunately, some human prejudice - were making the living situation of the Dragonborn untenable. The Dragonborn sent envoys to speak with the new King Ivan I, the son of Ana II, to find a solution.

The King was much less accepting of the Dragonborn than his mother. However, he felt a sense of duty to her vision, so proposed a compromise. The Dragonborn could settle in the western chains of the Planewalker Mountains, and the Kingdom would trade food and other supplies with them, so long as they paid a tax and swore that the Dragonborn militia would serve under the flag of Stin Cepel when called upon. Thus, the creation of the D.A.S.

#### Geography

The D.A.S. is a small bit of land, and almost completely located in the mountains. Hardly any growing happens; mostly, the Dragonborn trade with residents of the nearby Foothills and, more recently, the Half-orcs of Woestijn. The capital city of the D.A.S. is Styr, a magnificent city sculpted into the side of a mountain.

#### Politics

The D.A.S. is overseen by a Council of Elders, which holds the most influential members of Dragonborn society.

#### Religion

The overwhelming religion in the D.A.S. is of Bahamut. The Platinum Dragon holds the reverence of nearly every member of Dragonborn society. The largest Temple of Bahamut on the entire Material Plane is in Styr, a gargantuan building at the top of the entire city. The High Priest(ess) of the Church of Bahamut usually resides in Styr.

#### Malakai

While the Sandstriders' souls were transported to Vuul'kira, Cyric released Malakai, Bahamut's ancient enemy, from his eternal prison in the Volcanus Wastes. One of Malakai's first actions was to fly to Styr and raze it to the ground. While the rock is strong and the foundation stands, the city took massive damage from the assault, and many Dragonborn died. Whoever remained quickly left, heading to Broumov for temporary shelter. As of now, Styr sits empty and desolate.
Rezik

The Rezik, or "Deadly Land," is the landmass located to the West of the Asam in Viam. The Sandstriders visited it during Episode V: Pilgrimage.

#### History

Millennia ago, Zvar lived on both sides of the Asam. Then, the Dark One came and drove most of the Zvar out. Some he kept as his disciples. Under him, the Rezik became dangerous, deadily, and unnatural. The Sandstriders figured out that the Dark One was Cyric, who appeared in Viam long before the party did. He used the corrupted Zvar to provide him with magical gems - for what purpose is yet unknown - and left them there to await the arrival of the Sandstriders.
Goliath Society

cultures, throughout all the Seven Clans. The clans rarely agree on anything, other
than the teachings of Kord, and this is what, in an odd way, brings them together,
though Kord is God of Battle. Fighting tournaments are extremely common; most
problems are solved through physical fighting; and position in society is
determined by strength.

When a Goliath comes of age, they can enter themselves into
the tournament on the Day of Selection. Basically, this is a day where clans
scout those who they will eventually put into warring parties. Warring parties
can be sponsored by the clan itself (which means only members of that clan will
get in), or they can be privately run (which could mean a mix of clans or even
races, in rare occasions), so long as they have the strength to hold their own
against competitors.

The most prestigious warring party is the one sponsored by
the clan of the current Chosen. The second most prestigious party is one known
only as the Adventuring Guild. This is the party which Brak Stormbringer was a part of
before he came to meet the Sandstriders. Parties vary in size from almost being
companies (with 30-50 members) to being a very light but elite squad of fighters.

These warring parties are revered in Goliath society.
They’re like rock stars and pro athletes all rolled up into one. They spend
their days traveling The South, into the Lonely Mountains or beyond.

#### Geography/Settlements

The Eastern Continent, like the rest of the world, has more
swaths of unexplored or unconquered territory than explored territory. All of
the Seven Clans Region is in the North/Northwest area of the
continent. The area to the South, with its mountains, deserts, and dangerous
creatures, are uninhabited by civilized life, at least to the best of anyone’s
knowledge.

Generally, Goliaths don’t worry too much about building
fancy edifices. Their structures are built for function, not form. While there
are some skilled stoneworkers, and some solid buildings, many Goliath
settlements are built from sturdy tents.

The most accessible Goliath settlement to those coming from
sea is Lightning Falls. It is a port city on the northern shore of the Eastern
Continent. This is in Keothi territory – the current leader of clan Keothi is
Maumak Nightrunner. The Keothi are known for their naval battle prowess and
their keen sense of battle awareness.

#### Important Figures

* **Gaugan Stronghunter**: former Kord’s Chosen, of clan Ganu. Defeated in single combat by Nallia Stormwatcher of clan Elan.

* **Nallia Stormwatcher:** current Kord’s Chosen, of clan Elan.

* **Maumak Nightrunner:** current leader of clan Keothi, who controls the port settlement of Lightning Falls.

* **Brak Stormbringer**: of clan Ganu.
* **Vuri Lowlander:** of clan Elan, leader of the Lowlander Adventuring Company. She is a nasty sort who delights in causing pain. Her company is currently the premier Warring Party in all of the Seven Clans.
Osteger

Osteger is the first shared settlement between Humans and Orcs and is generally referred to as the cradle of the Half-orcs. It is currently the capital city of Woestijn.

Osteger was formed during the Shadow Wars by Orcs and Humans who wished to coexist peacefully. This led to the birth of many Half-orcs, essentially the creation of a new race. Osteger was taken over by the Humans some years later, until the end of the Civil War of Woestijn, when it was reclaimed for Half-orc forces and effectively ended the war.
Rakeesh Sah'Tarna

Liontaur Paladin of Erathis and wielder of the mighty blade Soulforge.

unorthodox to some, to him, it made perfect sense. Before becoming a paladin of Erathis, he spent most of his time traveling the sands of Vitaurum. When he
came into the service of the Balancer of Scales, he viewed his mission as
spreading civilization and the rule of law across the land – and what better
way than to travel with those who would be moving across the land anyway?

He joined up with Al Harik Attar’s caravan and rode the sands of Vitaurum. After a while, the caravan took
on a small girl named Quen, whom Rakeesh took an immediate shine to. The three
became very close, until that fateful night when a group of bandits attacked
their wagons, killing Al Harik and gravely wounding Rakeesh’s leg. He still
carries the limp.

After that, Quen ran off, embarrassed at her actions that
resulted in the deaths of a group of refugees. Rakeesh went to the Temple of
Erathis and served there while his leg healed, until eventually he was called
by Erathis herself to serve at her side in the Astral Sea.

#### Campaign

When Cyric stripped
the Council of Three of their divinity and banished them to Vuul’kira, Rakeesh
was at their side, and was banished with them.

Rakeesh was delighted to meet up
with Quen again in Vuul’kira. He and the rest of the Council Contingent helped
the Sandstriders attack the Oasis Tower Control Room; then joined with
Daneida’s rebel faction.

At the Events at the Old Gate,
Rakeesh stayed behind to hold off the onslaught of glass monsters and the
coming Genasi forces so that the Council – and the Sandstriders – could make it
out of the portal. He was taken prisoner by the Genasi and held for over twenty years, tortured all the while.

When the Sandstriders returned to Vuul'kira in Episode V: Pilgrimage, they made it a priority to break Rakeesh out of prison. With the help of the Thri-Kreen, they were successful.
Anin

*"The pearl of the Andalan Sea."*

Anin is Stin Cepel's largest port city, located in the south of the country on the Andalan Sea. It is best known for its city planning, which splits the city into four quarters:

* Blue Quarter, where the docks are
* Grey Quarter, where most temples and government buildings are
* Gold Quarter, the merchant district
* Brown Quarter, the dirt-ridden and poverty-stricken area

Anin also has a healthy criminal culture, and there is rumored to be an underground hideout called the Black Quarter, run by agents of The Mixer.

#### Campaign

Quen and McCreedy came to Stin Cepel through Anin on Athaso's caravan.

Tolsmir was visiting Anin when Janerris was murdered in the Temple of Bahamut by Gramorn Duskfell. He witnessed this and was jailed for fighting back. The Sandstriders broke him out of his prison caravan on their way *to* Anin.

They had received information from Elendeil about a Jenova's Witness named Nadine Andala. With their new member Tolsmir, the Sandstriders snuck through Anin. They stayed at an inn in the Blue Quarter, then attended a speech by Gramorn Duskfell in which they were assaulted with psychic energy. They were aided by Nadine who then led them back to her house. William Maynots led the group to the Black Quarter and garnered the help of Haydon Panetierre in stealing a ship to get to the Aegis Islands.

McCreedy was jumped by agents of the Grey Council on the city streets, but was helped out by Belros. Belros convinced McCreedy to join him in the Civil War of Woestijn, leading to a separation from the Sandstriders for a while.
CSS WANDERER

The CSS WANDERER is a top-secret Consortium black ops vessel under the jurisdiction of Section Zero. It is captained by Ravi Anwar and tasked with carrying out high-risk, high-sensitivity missions for the Consortium.

#### The Ship

The ship itself is a prototype based off the use of technologies of various races of the Consortium combined into a single vessel. It boasts high maneuverability, a cloaking device, and high-acuity long-range sensors. The true secret of the ship, however, lies in its drive core, based on not-readily-understood Void Crystal technology.

#### The Crew

The crew of the WANDERER was hand-selected by the Consortium Admiralty Board. It includes:

* Captain Ravi Anwar, Commanding Officer
* Commander Tikk'a'rgyewilz (or Tikk), Executive Officer
* 4N-D1 (or "Andi"), Pilot and Tactical Officer
* "Thing 1" and "Thing 2," Security Officer and Medical, respectively
* Lieutenant Colandrea Sparks, Science Officer
* Chief June Spears, Head of Engineering

#### The Mission

Most recently, the WANDERER was tasked with hunting down a prototype Spire ship called the VOIDWALKER and learning more about it. When the VOIDWALKER kidnapped Commandante Gork, the parameters of the mission changed from recon to recovery.

#### Campaign

The WANDERER had lost track of the VOIDWALKER somewhere in the Neutral Zone when they suddenly caught a glimpse of the ship on sensors. It had stopped near an anomaly and stayed there for almost two hours. Intrigued, Captain Anwar ordered the crew to investigate. When they arrived, they ran some diagnostics and tests, and were then shocked to see something come out of the anomaly. Against the recommendation of his XO, the Captain ordered the beings to be beamed aboard. These beings were the Sandstriders, having just come through another one of Cyric's Rifts.
Glenda, the Bad Witch

*"I'll do anything for a price, but if it involves butt stuff, I charge double."*

Glenda, the Bad Witch was the town prostitute in a small farming village in the Foothills region of Stin Cepel. She worked with Ashcan Pete and Mick Reedy during the events of Cthulu Dark to save a young missing girl. She died of an STD shortly thereafter.
Coalition

*"Strange times certainly do make for strange bedfellows."*

*-Anabi, Jenova's Coalition representative*

The Coalition is a group of Gods, organized by Kord, formed to oppose the efforts of Cyric's Consortium. In the absence of the Council of Three, they represent the opposition to Cyric in the Astral Civil War.

#### Members

* Kord, God of Battle and Lightning
* Jenova, the Lady of Shadow
* Asmodeus, King of the Nine Hells
* Lolth, the Spider Queen
* Melora\*, Mother Nature

\*Melora previously sided with the Consortium, but changed sides after the events of Light of the Moon.

#### Coalition War Council

The Gods of the Coalition do not handle day-to-day troop movements, etc. These are decided by their representatives on the War Council.

* Brak Stormbringer (Kord)
* Anabi (Jenova)
* Vyseth (Asmodeus)
* Nicera (Lolth)
Seven Goliath Clans

There are seven great Goliath clans:

1. **Ganu**
2. **Nola**
3. **Keothi**
4. **Vuma**
5. **Lanaga**
6. **Elan**
7. **Nalakavi**

Brak Stonebreaker won that first tournament and ruled over
the seven clans until his death many years later. Since then, no Chosen has
died a natural death. See, after the death of Brak, the next ruler, his son,
proved weak, inept, and – perhaps luckily – more than a bit delusional. He
agreed to implement a system by which, if anyone could kill him in single
combat, they would be considered to be Kord’s Chosen. He was killed very
shortly after by the strongest warrior in the realm, who not surprisingly liked
the system and kept it in place.

Most of Kord’s Chosen over the years have died in single
combat. Some lasted only days in the position, having won by some lucky swing
or another. Many of them, though, were great warriors, and lived into their
later years before being struck down by a younger contender. Most of them have been
men, but there have been half a dozen women, including the current Chosen, Nallia
Stormwatcher of clan Elan. A few months ago she challenged, and defeated,
Gaugan Stronghunter, of clan Ganu to become leader.

Пока Нинари спорила с Гароном, появился Эйме Тал, вырубил Гарона, повелел Нинари рассказать о том, что он вернулся и защищает нового короля, и ушёл с Юджином.
Elemental Dunes

The Elemental Dunes refers to the area of eastern Vuul'kira under control of the Genasi. Until the Destruction of the Spire, it was protected by a wall of fire and housed the city of the Spire, the home of the Genasi.

#### Traits

The Elemental Dunes are different than the rest of Vuul'kira. Due to the influence of the Genasi, the Dunes are home to all sorts of geographies, sometimes that seemingly contradict each other. Lava flows; rivers; glaciers; rocky caves. They all exist, right next to each other.
Ashcan Pete

*"Well, I figure I seen so much kindness from strangers, only right to show that kindness to others."*

Ashcan Pete is a wandering hobo. He makes his way from town to town, taking up odd jobs and relying on the kindness of strangers to get by.

#### Cthulu Dark

Ashcan Pete first entered the campaign when he entered a small farming village in the Foothills region of Stin Cepel. He helped Mick Reedy and Glenda, the Bad Witch to discover what had happened to a missing young girl, Vyra. The events that unfolded broke part of Ashcan Pete's psyche. After, he decided to take Vyra under his care.

#### Shadows of Moonraker Peak

Ashcan Pete and Vyra, after traveling for a while, found themselves begging on the streets of Alagir. He took a dagger offered to him by a follower of Cyric named Adlai Daehorn. That night, feeling desperate and seeing Vyra starving, Pete decided to sneak into the kitchens of the Planewalker Brewery and Inn and steal some food. He was caught by Wren Volvi; a fight ensued wherein Ashcan Pete's demons overtook him and he killed Wren.

Andiel took the blame for his mistake, fearing what would happen to Vyra if he were imprisoned. Nemar figured out the truth, gave him some money, and told him to go far away from Alagir.
Red Gem

The Red Gem is one of the Seven Colored Gems of Vuul'kira. It contains the soul of a dead Shardmind.

#### Retrieval

The Sandstriders retrieved the Red Gem at the behest of Maron, the Administrator of Oasis. They found it in the belongings of a skeleton who had been hanged in the square of an abandoned town. When they took the Red Gem, they were nearly swarmed by lizard creatures.

Soon after retrieving the Red Gem, the Sandstriders met the Council of Three in the deserts of Vuul'kira. They decided not to return the Red Gem to Maron.
