Bronn Wellton

Sir **Bronn Wellton** is a human general and knight of the Longstrider Order in the ward of Syllior and the Salt Coast. Sir Bronn was born in Welton, Kavaad, and quickly made his way up the ranks during and after the civil war. In the beginning of 852 CL, Sir Bronn commanded Syllior's forces in the Sacking of Tradefall, and later that same year, he was appointed as the head of Lady Willow's personal guard and tasked with the wardeness' personal safety.
Enedorei

**Enedorei** is one of the two twin kingdoms of the wood elves of ancient Arandor. Its capital is Vallanorn.

## Geography and locations

Enedorei is mostly woodlands and is located in the northernmost part of the river Fallanaduin, specifically at its tributaries Anoronduin, Eneduin, and Rimarist. Through the river Arglur, the kingdom connects to the mountain valley of Kazad-Har. Enedorei is nestled up against the Ridge of Blades to its west, where the King's Pass allows travel to its neighbouring ally Tauryun. To the south across the Silver Fields and where the Rimarist meets the Celessír river, Enedorei borders the high elven kingdom of Mithlaru. East of the woods lie the treeless expanse of Pweleás.

### Settlements

Vallanorn is the capital of Enedorei and the sacred site of the tree Dawnfruit and the healing springs of the river Fallanaduin. The city is built on stone pillars standing in the river, allowing the mists of the water to passively heal its citizens.

Odhbarad is the second city of the kingdom. It retains the architecture and structure of a city, whereas the smaller villages are scattered homesteads, agricultural communities, and sacred groves.

## Ethnography

Enedorei is mostly inhabited by wood elves and nature spirits. Not counting visitors or raids of goblinoids from Pweleás, goliaths from the mountains, or drow from the Underdark, the land's humanoid population consists exclusively of wood elves. The noble green elves of Enedorei come from the same line as those of Tauryun. The elves of Odhbarad often resemble their high elf relative more than other wood elves.
Imnod Rodvoan

**Imnod Rodvoan** was a terrible person — probably the worst person in Shiv. He was a human brothel owner / pimp and collector of magic items, in league with Horgrol Deepriver. Imnod Rodvoan provided Deepriver with magic items and live sacrifices until he was killed in the arguably most effective way possible: seduced, surprised, caught in a *silence* spell, looted while alive, then sliced by a team of adventurers. The final blow was made by Torment, a mystical tiefling from Tradefall.
Grin

**Grin** was the half-gnoll daughter of Risana the Laughing One, a hag in service to the shadow demon Daeszal. Grin briefly appeared in the Alt-campaign, trying to scale the collapsing tower. Altruism cast *heat metal* on a chain Grin was holding on to, burning her and causing her to plummet into the sandstorm below.

Grin was depicted on the Favorite card in the tarot mechanic representing Hemakshi's book of visions.

In the summer of 853 CL, Grin was tracked down by the vampire Burbas'Tel and probably (definitely) killed by him.
Galoz Klyth

**Galoz Klyth**, or **the Tower of Sacrifice**, was a large structure in western Thorothar. Since the plague of undeath ravaged the area in the 840's CL, the tower was the lair of Khovakis the Ghoul Lord. On the second Treeday, Dragon, 852 CL, the tower was brought down by Key and his party of Altruism, Mehen, Hemakshi, Ulla, Adran, Reirak, Mo-Tha, Ko-Tha, Yit, and Prong (though the last four NPCs didn't contribute as much).

## Regions

Not including Yondria and Costanor, Agranor is split into the following nine territories: Agronland, Kalruun, Kernenvale, Gershamshire, Styntonshire, Sianor, Westanor, Fannor, and Vaspanor. Yondria is then further divided into Palesea, Wintermark, Savageshire, and the Northmarches.

Agranor also controls territories in Rennanor to the west, and the kingdom used to include Virdenia to the south, which at the time was split into Velantia and Virdenia.

## Ethnography

Agranor is home to many humanoid races, including humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, gnomes, halflings, and minotaurs.
Gwathren

**Gwathren** (meaning "shadow" in elvish) was the dark counterpart to Galad, as the dual aspects of the person who used to be Bryn Telethryl. Gwathren existed as Galad's shadow, and he served the shadow demon Daeszal.

Gwathren was destroyed by Willow Stormborn after killing Kelp Blackheart and Fholtarr Thunderblood using the weapon Daeszal's Fang, which was then destroyed by Persephone Buckthorn.
Imthor Nazrak

**Imthor Nazrak** was a human archmagus of Thorothar at the imperial court in Qorath. Imthor Nazrak disappeared suddenly at the same time as fellow guardian of the Circle, Nhosa Vhul on the first Ashday of Vessel, 763 CL.

According to research done by Fholtarr Thunderblood IV, Imthor Nazrak's history with the emperors of Thorothar is almost identical to the way later guardian Szevat Lothim rose to power as archmagus.
Glorael

**Broken Wings Uphold the Rule of Law** (which is his celestial name, his common name being **Glorael**) was a deva angel in service to Manarakh. Glorael was also known as the **Whitehand** of the Ashen Fist.

During King Jerestan's Mad War, Glorael was summoned to the material plane to protect and enact the divine edicts of his god. However, a coven of night hags loyal to the shadow demon Daeszal devised a plan to capture and corrupt the angel. Glorael was captured within the Dark Spear by Burbas'Tel Helviep who was working as Greyhand of the Ashen Fist on behalf Nana Thara—a hag of the coven.

The Cult of the Shadow, working within the Ashen Fist, abused the angel's power and righteousness to gain holy blessings through unholy means.

Glorael later escaped from the spear, when it was wielded by Altruism, Son of Solbjörn. Once he was freed, he was still affected by his time with the Ashen Fist, and he appeared to be aligned with the Cult of the Shadow, albeit not quite knowingly. Glorael despised Helviep for imprisoning him, and he continued to express his devotion to Manarakh, refusing to believe that he had been evicted from his god's domain. Through a combination of demonic influence from the hags, and an angel's absolute sense of self-righteousness, Gloreal was successfully corrupted and became a fallen angel.

On the 1st Treeday, Dragon, 852 CL, Glorael tracked down Burbas'Tel Helviep for the second time, seeking to kill the drow and take the Dark Spear. Glorael promised the spear's new wielder, Altruism, that he would heal him of the spear's curse if obliged. The encounter led to a fight in which Helviep became a fully fledged vampire, 'free' from the Dark Spear's control, and Glorael was slain. It was the celestial steed Paarthurnax of Mehen Myastan that dealt the killing blow, ripping the angel's head from its body. The vampire then drank the blood from the fallen angel's headless corpse.

## More lore

Glorael is mentioned in several chapters of *Rhygon II's Book of Angels.*

Osprem awarded both Kelp and Habla for their service, before taking Coras to his afterlife in Nirvana.

After returning to the Obelisk, Habla reunited with Kelp. Kelp had joined her adventuring party in the Underdark and was killed by Gwathren while Habla was still in the Whielcurrents.

## Ranks and members

Members of the Ashen Fist regard the organization as an extended family, and they don't take kindly to betrayal. Initiates in the Ashen Fist are branded with a burn scar—usually on their dominant hand. This marks them as a member of the organization, and forces them to practice keeping even the most glaring things secret. Advanced members, known as blackhands, are either further burned or tattooed across their branded hand. The next level is the greyhands of which there are usually three, serving the highest ranking position in the organization, the whitehand.

### Members

Using Tymos' identity, he uncovered most of the Red Hand's plot as well as the secret alliance of wardens. Maledictus then locked up Kassiopeia Domine and took her place among her allies. During the Battle of Balzamar, Maledictus attacked Maro Zokesh at the first given chance but failed to kill the prince and was forced to retreat.

Khovakis was a hobgoblin from Pweleás, living near the lair of Jhiraaj. He left his homeland to study the arcane arts in Thorothar, where he was framed for poisoning the emperor and imprisoned in Galoz Klyth. There, he was transformed into a ghast and ate his way through his jailers, eventually becoming the tower's new dark lord. Hunger quickly drove him to the worship of Nefathat the Dark Glutton.

On the 3rd Moonday, Moon of the Key, 852 CL, ghoulish assassins attacked Eknoron Zerevil and his advisers, Vizharr, Trissana, and Willow. All assassination attempts failed, and the one sent to kill Lady Willow claimed to be sent by "the master of Galoz Klyth" to "punish the Iron Dragonborn for his betrayal".

According to the demon Akaloth, Khovakis possessed a number of artifacts that could help in a ritual to capture the greater shadow demon Daeszal. Altruism found two such items: Crystals that also seemed to interest the jackal fiend.

On the 2nd treeday, a party of adventurers destroyed Galoz Klyth and slew Khovakis. The Ghoul Lord managed to summon Nefathat's full form, but the demon was captured by Altruism using the capturing crystals.

Forest gnomes are a gnomish folk native to the woodlands of Kavaad and Agranor. Forest gnomes sometimes have naturally green hair, and their eyes are usually blue or green. Like their deep gnome cousins, the svirfneblin, forest gnomes prefer life in the wilderness to that in the city, and they tend to keep their distance from civilization.

### Rock Gnomes

Rock gnomes are a gnomish folk native to the hills and mountains of Kavaad and Agranor. Rock gnomes are particularly numerous in Virdenia and the Kyrval Mountains. Rock gnomes sometimes have naturally pink hair or blue hair. Like their deep gnome cousins, the svirfneblin, rock gnomes have a special appreciation for gem cutting and alchemy. Rock gnomes are also tinkers and inventors, living in the cities among many other races.

### Virds

The Virds are humans native to Virdenia and southern Agranor. Virds tend to have blond hair and bright eyes, they often display a cleft chin, and they scar more easily than other humans. Virdenia has historically been a part of Agranor and a kingdom of its own, and some Virds are separatists or wish to return to Agranorian rule.

## Religion

The dominant faith in Kavaad is the faith of Manarakh, god of strength and construction. However, there are many people, especially gnomes, who worship the spirits of the land and an expansive pantheon of nature deities (sometimes as saints of Manarakh), and many different religions are followed along the coast, where clerics of Osprem guard the merchants and traders.
Badkûr

**Badkûr** is a continent on the material plane (called "Edarr" by the locals of Badkûr). Badkûr lies south of Thindrel, and between the Green Sea and the Sea of Dragons.

North of the Red Mountains, Badkûr is covered in arid dunes, hills, and mountains, with the occasional steppe or savannah dotted across the landscape. This land is home to the Badkûrai, a mixed people of humans and dwarves who live in grand cities and shepherd enormous herds of exotic beasts in all shapes and sizes. Notable civilizations in northern Badkûr include the city states Lûtemwe and Tusûtû.

South of the Red Mountains, Badkûr is covered in lush green forests and jungles, teeming with dangerous life and terrible secrets. Lizardfolk and yuan-ti are common in the jungles of Badkûr.

Badkûr's Underdark is characterized by volcanic streams of lava and lush, underground jungles inhabited by dinosaurs, troglodytes, and more. Elementals are commonplace in the deep places of Badkûr.
Kaeth Svarthand

**Kaeth "Pebbletoes" Svarthand** was a svirfneblin scout from Quarzendorf. His unique talent of earth gliding allowed him to walk through stone and loose earth without disturbing it.

In Owlbear 853 CL, Kaeth escaped from the City of the Glass Pool and helped Durthee and her party obtain gemstones and dust while they were in Krûl. Not long thereafter, Kaeth succumbed to a strange mutation and was transformed into a mozgriken, a strange mind flayer creation. Durthee and Persephone Buckthorn consoled the then tentacled, mutant that Kaeth had become, and despite Percy's protest momentary protest, Durthee mournfully urged Kassiopeia Domine to end the former deep gnome's life. Kaeth was then laid to rest within the earth.
Daeszal

Daeszal fighting Lo-Tha Thunukalathanu

**Daeszal** is a greater shadow demon bound to the Shadowfell

In the 4th century CL, Daeszal was summoned to join the armies of the lich Kalrath. The four great heroes of the time defeated Daeszal, captured his soul in a weakened form, and hid him within the tomb of Gamrion.

Since Daeszal was defeated by the four heroes, his cults dwindled and disappeared, except for a coven of night hags, who remained subservient to the shadow demon.

In 851 CL, Daeszal gained power through the actions of his servants, including the wood elf Bryn Telethryl. At midsummer, Daeszal was reconnected to the negative energy of the Shadowfell and reinvigorated by it and the soul blood of the four heroes of old. After returning to his former level of power, Daeszal blighted the great tree Nimlaroth, but was banished by Lo-Tha Thunukalathanu before he could kill the tree and bring it into the Shadowfell.

In 852 CL, the cults of Daeszal had returned and infiltrated a number of guilds and societies in Kavaad, such as The Ashen Fist. The shadow demons Nefathat and Akaloth also reappeared around this time.
Ardyn

**Ardyn** is a large city in northern Tauryun. Its twilit paths and streets are completely silent apart from the music that springs from the chimes and bells in the blue willow trees. Sunlight never touches the ground in Ardyn, as tall trees block out the sky. The local elves watch the night sky from druid-made balconies across the canopy of the dense forest.
Fiora Steadmantle

**Fiora Steadmantle** was a dwarf from Kerrum. She was the Huntmistress of the Golden Hope in Kerrum and Shiv before her death in early 852. While on a mission to stop the summoning of Nefathat, Steadmantle died from drinking a deadly concoction that brought her back as a ghost. She passed on after Nefathat was defeated by Ulhirr Raskulfelt.
Grycliff

**Grycliff** is the main island of the eastern island chain of the Skipping Islands. Grycliff is often referred to colloquially as "**Eenhaven**", after the famous port city of Eenhaven which is located on the island.

The weather on Grycliff is hot in the summer, windy in the winter, and rainy all year long. The clouds over Grycliff serve as a blanket against the scalding sun in the summer, making it the perfect safe haven for sailors.
Galana Wavewisp

**Galana Yennavip Treenie Wavewisp** is a gnome druid, and previously the leader of the Salt Coast druids. She has since grown old and senile, more connected to nature than people. She spends her retirement in Tanglestone and still participates in the odd druidic ritual.

During king Jerestan's war, Galana harbored the princess Leonara Meisent. In the wake of the war, the matronly archdruid became Leonara's closest thing to a mother in the princess' adult life. Soon after, Galana abdicated as leader of the druids and withdrew into the wilds. On occasion, she returns to her fellow druids to enjoy their company.
Kanilm Foheen

**Kanilm Foheen** is the court wizard of Kavaad, and a prominent member of the royal council. He disappeared in early 851 and was last seen in the Westbank Woods while he was on his way to the mountains of Virdenia. Foheen's personal study lies within the Winged Spire in Kavaad, where his owl familiar and living spell book Codex watched over his belongings until it was taken by Persephone Buckthorn and sir Bronn Wellton.

When Kanilm Foheen's body was found in the Underdark by the acolytes of Barendain, the wizard Sannl Fireforge restored Foheen from the comatose state one of the mind flayers had placed him in. Foheen was given back his spell book by the Comrades of Hope after he explained his involvement with the Ashen Fist's founding and his anger at Mynwynn Viskhart and the Cult of the Shadow taking over his endeavour. Foheen's intentions had been to carry out King Jerestan's plan as discreetly as possible in order to prevent the shadow's return, not to give the demons, hags, and criminals power over the kingdom. Foheen then set out to collect intel on the goings-on in the kingdom since his disappearance.

## Students

Kanilm Foheen has taken many students from all across Kavaad, and some of his former students have started taking their own apprentices in Redgate and the capital.

Marigold

### Affiliation

The Mythhold Royal Academy of Arcane Studies (formerly), The Barony of Kernenvale (formerly), Longstrider Citadel

## Physical description

### Eye color

Blue

**Beatriss "Marigold" Meadows** is a human mage whose mind (or part of it) was stuck in a slime body along with Persephone Buckthorn.

As she remembers it, Marigold once served a young Baron Rodvincent Von Kernenvale as his court mage, but many of her memories were lost when she and Percy became a slime collective. Marigold's mind had deteriorated or fractured to such a degree she could hardly remember anything from before her time as a slime. She would occasionally gain control of their shared body or be aware while Percy was in control. She spent a long time hiding, convinced she wasn't a real person herself, and would merely attempt to keep her and Percy's shared vessel safe. When Percy became aware of her, Marigold opened up and started remembering more, and eventually the two began to work together as a team. On 1st Treeday, Key, 853 CL, Marigold and Persephone were restored to their original bodies by the Archivist, a mind flayer.

   After returning to the surface, Marigold was appointed as the new court mage at Longstrider Citadel and settled in Syllior. On the 4th Fireday, 853, Sannl Fireforge managed to return Marigold's missing memories from the World Index. The memories of Persephone Buckthorn and Bronn Wellton were also restored by Sannl on this day.

And as we all know, she's being shipped with Yohannah Jauntlore.
Firestorm

**Firestorm,** the Father of Flames, was the ancient red dragon who fathered the Burning Brood. Among Firestorm’s brood, there are red dragons, dragonborn, and kobolds who channel his blood to use powerful sorcery. Some of these sorcerers traveled to Dragonhorn where they allied with the cabalists of Jharuul. Others have stayed in Orantos and formed a mighty empire.
Kava Jhoriat

Wyrmspeaker **Kava Jhoriat** is a dragonborn guardian of the Circle and protector of Skyhold.

In 851 CL, she aided fellow guardian Qindra in killing Bryn Telethryl to stop Daeszal's return, but Telethryl still managed to summon the demon. Kava stopped associating with Lady Qindra and vowed a new paladin oath of devotion instead of vengeance.
Ahmad Ol-Ahmad

**Ahmad Ol-Ahmad** is a thorothi human who defected from a group that was involved with an infernal cult near Behera in the Daggers. Running from the devil cult, he came upon Altruism's party and followed them to Camp Zeroth where he joined Halmdin Ol-Akarim in an unsuccessful quest to bring down the cult.
Ironston

**Ironston** is an old dragonborn mining town in northern Dragonhorn.

The town was attacked by ghouls brought there by Ozimir the Oathbreaker after the undead outbreak in Thorothar in the 840's CL. In the attack, the gold dragonborn Mehen Myastan lost his parents and took an oath of vengeance under Tyr. Mehen would later help defeat the oathbreaker and the Ghoul Lord.

Since the undead attacks, different faction have been fighting to control the mines of Ironston. The Ûdrim argue that all of old Ûder is theirs, while the metallic and chromatic dragonborn take turns guarding the area against the undead.
Kernenvale

**Kernenvale** is a barony in Agranor.

## Geography

Kernenvale is both the name of a barony in the eastern Verdant Fields, and the name of a large valley near the Kyrval Mountains, where the Virdis river springs. The valley is full of fields and meadows whereas the barren hills lead into steep cliffs and rocky plateaus overlooking the land. The Virdis river runs in to Gershamshire through Claywood Forest.

## Settlements

Fort Kernen is the seat of power in Kernenvale. The large town of Flowerfen is an important point on the road between Fort Kernen and the capital, Mythhold.

## History

The barony was once part of a much larger margravate, called Kernenmark, which also included the territories of Gershamshire and Styntonshire, bordering Virdenia, which was its own kingdom in those times.
Fallanaduin

**Fallanaduin** is the largest and longest river in Thindrel. It runs through Enedorei and Pweleás to the border between Thorothar and Zabraban where it flows into the Sea of Dragons. Its tributaries spring from across Central Thindrel, including the land of Mithlaru. The northernmost part of Fallanaduin is also called **Anoronduin**.
Istma

Istma and her husband Unvar

**Istma** is a cloud giant noble in Prince Lenziar's court, and the prince's cousin. Istma lives with her husband Unvar in their great aerie on Tol'Anar, where they herd and train flying creatures, such as griffons and wyverns. Istma breeds frost wyverns and commands a troop of frost giant raiders.
City of the Glass Pool

The **City of the Glass Pool** was an ancient Kuo-toa city in the Underdark under the Greatsword mountain. It was also the centre of a mind flayer colony. The uppermost parts of the city consist of a ruined Kuo-toa settlement called Doomoodpool, and is home to a cult to Blipdoolpoolp. Other Kuo-toa cults in and around the city worship their own gods, such as Hydrapytra.

The mind flayer colony was controlled by an elder brain and its illithid servants, each of whom was assigned a particular role within their society. For example, the Distiller was tasked with harnessing the powers of life and consciousness through experiments with oozes, and the Archivist was responsible for the transfer and keeping of minds in the Index and their respective bodies. Other roles served to feed, expand, and protect the colony and oversee its necessary functions.
Eknoron Zerevil

### Aliases

Eknoron, His Grace Lord Balzamar, Baron of Balzamar, Egg-moron, Sir Evil, Orlox Wildfire

### Affiliation

The Barony of Balzamar (formerly), The Brotherhood of the Stone

## Biographical information

### Place of birth

Dragonhorn (allegedly), body constructed in Kerrum

### Date of death

1st Moonday, Moon of the Owlbear 853 CL (a fucking boomerang did it)

## Physical description

### Eye color

Orange

**Eknoron Zerevil** was one identity of an entity having inhabited several other constructs created by Typhekk the Soulforger. Eknoron's sorcerer servants Vizharr and Trissana aided him in finding and controlling the Soulstone under Tradefall Castle. Eknoron was the Baron of Balzamar from late 851 to early 853. He appointed Willow Stormborn Wardeness of Syllior and the Salt Coast.

## Other Identities

In the Moon of the Tree 853 CL, Eknoron's other vessels were discovered alongside Typhekk's workshop and Vizharr's laboratory. A dozen bodies similar to Eknoron were found, including several dragonborn suits of armor and a few non-dragonborn constructs.

### Orlox Wildfire

One of Eknoron's previous vessels was identified as Orlox Wildfire, a dwarf who was involved in politics in Kerrum and nefarious plots in the undead-ridden Thorothar.

### Unnamed Tiefling

What seemed to be the earliest of the vessels was a steel tiefling body. The history behind this body was somewhat illuminated by a statement in a book comprised of stories collected by the Mediator, a mind flayer.

## Appearance

Eknoron Zerevil appeared as a large dragonborn with dark scales with a metallic sheen to them. His eyes were orange with a yellow hint in the center. He had a prominent, spiked jaw, and short horns sprouting from his brows and pointing upwards near the back of his long draconic head. Eknoron had a heavy frame and a strong build, towering over most humanoid individuals. Eknoron had a flair for the dramatic, and often sported pauldrons made from drake or basilisk hide, gleaming metal armour, and a black or crimson cloak or cape. This body was a construct made by Typhekk.

## Others' opinions

According to Siltharr Thunderblood, Eknoron Zerevil was a populist and an idealless villain.

Elmira Dushiuri, Mehen Myastan, Fholtarr Thunderblood, and Callum Ferngreen II all claim to never have heard of another instance of an iron dragonborn. This lead Kelp Blackheart and others to question the truth of his appearance.
Jharuul

Capital of the Chromatics

**Jharuul** is the seat of power of the chromatic dragonborn of Thindrel, and it acts as a secondary capital of Dragonhorn, after Skyhold. Jharuul is almost perfectly cut into five primary sectors, each corresponding to a draconic color and ruled by a clan of dragonborn descended from a dragon of the sector's color.

Jharuul is the birthplace of abjuration magic in Thindrel.

## The Ruling Clans

The five ruling clans act independently within their own walls, and work together when it concerns the city as a whole. The clans each bear the name of a legendary dragon ancestor.

#### **Firestorm**

The Firestorm clan is named after the Father of Flames, the red dragon that conquered Orantos and fathered the Burning Brood.

#### **Blackscale**

The Blackscale Clan takes its name from the Baleful Destroyer, the black dragon that brought ruin to the land of Ûder.

#### **Thunderblood**

The Thunderblood Clan is named after the Tyrannical Tempest, the blue dragon that allegedly founded Jharuul.

#### **Venomfang**

The Venomfang Clan takes its name from the Whispering Wyrm, the green dragon that stole a fruit from the tree of healing.

#### **Frostwing**

The Frostwing clan is named after the Hateful Huntress, the white dragon that killed the giant king Hakan.
