Magenta

Numuri Martal is the surviving daughter to Avonkul Martal and Volia Dul-Sansiska.

Blurbs to be placed, but big things:

She's spent nearly her entire life either operating as a holy knight and paladin, or as a demented cult leader who was also a holy knight and paladin, and only fell to the lures of Mordaghast late into her schizophrenic delusions. She is intelligent when she is properly medicating her condition, even though the medicine she's using is probably destroying her brains slowly, or not. Despite being a skilled combatant, and quite a bit taller than even the average drow, her strength does not come tot he same level as such legends like King Drake, and are much closer aligned with that of her peers, though she is at the peak physical condition for a drow elf.

Despite her sadism and demented outlook, she has compassion for the weak, and contempt for the strong who go against her, she is currently being held in Untergrad, and is one of the only known drow from the Alliance members to reside in the facility by Divankul Dul-Sansiska's request, by proxy of Maria Dul-Sansiska's connections. She participated int he Riots of 1075, and bore witness to certain other inmates taking their own vengeance, she was known to break 'monsters' and spare the 'broken'. She had a passion for trying to keep the flesh from tearing while she used her indomitable strength to pulverize people's bones in their own bodies, and is devoutly religious though her faith seems to be strained as she's aware Aradia is a dead goddess, and the other gods are likewise deceased, which has own given her further trauma in this revelation.

Numuri is a skilled weapons master, a student of Mossa Dul-Sansiska and Barakul Mabusa once upon a time, and loved the use the elvish longblade and a heater shield while commanding herself in her glistening armor. She is what every knight of the drow were meant to aspire to physically, from her toned body, unmarred by battle scars, to her brutality in combat and her unwavering resolve to destroy the enemy at all costs.

Numuri has been kept abreast of the goings on outside Untergrad, a reward for participating in the informational chess game she played with Divankul for a number of years, and the befriending of the guard meant to always watch over her. She is aware the age of her skills has come and gone, now dead beneath the boot of progress, considering that her goddess is dead, she finds it fitting her way of life has likewise met its end, and wonders if the whole world will soon follow suit.

The thought...is *enticing.*
Shelter

Shelter is the island south-west of mainland Caybourne where the Ludlow Shipyards are. It is also the security checkpoint where all visiting ships must pass through to go anywhere in Caybourne.

A vast fleet of patrol ships surrounds Caybourne with a magical alert system. Shelter is where the sailors and guards go to sleep and train.

Very few civilians live on Shelter. There is rumor that the Ludlows want to create a specialized university on this island.

Rasheba Heartstone

Jacinta Piers (sister)

Amarika Ludlow (sister)

Amayl Heartstone-Rodin (aunt)

Heartstone Family

Daughter Temperance Heartstone

Born in 983AE to Keyair and Celia Heartstone, Rasheba is the youngest of the Heartstone sisters and the only unmarried one. Of the sisters, she has the most experience of the world.

She was bitten with a love for adventure early on and was constantly running off with boys of all sorts in her early youth. It was only after some unknown incident in 1007AE that she abruptly returned to her family and began taking care of her nieces and nephews as something of a bodyguard and teacher.

Before and during her adventuring years she learned to fight with sword and shield. But she also learned how to be a proper lady. Wifecraft isn't quite what she'd call it, but she knows how to appear to be a noblewoman. There are also some strange rumors about her strength being unnatural, but these are unfounded...

She is good friends with her aunt Amayl Heartstone-Rodin and niece Serenity Piers. Amayl was responsible for getting her into combat skills and Rasheba in turn is responsible for teaching Serenity swordsmanship.

At age 31 she is still unmarried and unspoken for. She isn't entirely certain she could settle down with a boring nobleman and live a sedentary life. But she also hasn't pursued anyone since she returned seven years ago.

She often accompanies her nieces and nephews in their travels if they head over to Mainland Aradia. She is ferociously protective of her family, but doesn't appear overbearing unlike her aunt.

She lives life like she could die tomorrow.
Ygraine Blackthorne

Galahad Blackthorne (brother)

Evaine Blackthorne (sister)

Isolde Blackthorne (sister)

House Blackthorne

**Lady Ygraine Blackthorne** (later known simply as **Sister Ygraine**) was the youngest child of Lord Lamorak Blackthorne by his wife Morgwyna Monmoth. Alongside her elder sisters, Evaine and Isolde, they formed the She-Griffins Three, a group that helped oversee the running of House Blackthorne during their wars with Brecilidia in the early 500s. Ygraine was her parents' favorite and beloved too of her sisters, known for her boundlessly sweet nature and optimism. Her sisters' differing outlooks often made them fight, and it was on Ygraine to be the level head between them, acting as go-between and having final arbitration as to their best course of action. She was considerably more credulous and pious than many of her kin, or many westerners in general.

Ygraine left with her sisters when they were passed over for succession in favor of her cousin Allister. Their mother was sick and ailing following the death of her father, and as her sisters fought each other on what to do next, Ygraine busied herself with looking after Morgwyna. When the three eventually split and Morgwyna died, Ygraine joined the priesthood, becoming a volunteer and missionary in helping the homeless and needy--far way from her noble roots. She was well-respected in the church and on one occasion turned down the office of Archprimate, believing the duties would distract from her good work too much. She lived to great old age and was still considered bright-eyed and energetic into her nineties; unfortunately, her readiness in helping the sick proved to be her downfall. She passed from a disease she caught from a homeless woman in her care in 590AE, leaving behind no issue following her vows of chastity.
Shadow Dancer

An Unformed Dancer

### Distinctions

Incorporeal, requires a host body to manifest strongly. Widely despised for their rebellious nature.

### Members

Molak ZulAlnorik

The Shadow Dancers are a race of Demons known throughout the Void as weaklings, leeches, prideful worms. The Dancers ignore these comments, they have no time to be allowing themselves to succumb to the mocking tones of their fellows. They strive for unknown goals, but it would see as though they are making ways to escape form their place in the Void so that they can spread their influence and claim greater hosts.

They use simple minded and easily manipulated people as tools, however they only take the strongest and fiercest as their hosts, almost in a way infecting them by wrapping around the soul of the target and seeping outwards from there. The reason they chose to infect stronger beings was so that their bodies could not decay so quickly.
Untergrad

'The Lonely Isle'

Formerly the castle holding of House Unferth prior to the Demon Wars, Untergrad now serves the City of Everglow as an prison island for the criminally insane.

## House Unferth

The castle was partially destroyed and the family usurped by demonic forces in 208 AE along with Everglow City. It would take almost sixty years before the city and castle were liberated in 267 AE. Left in a state of disrepair, the half-ruined castle was bought out from the remaining Unferths by the newly-minted University of Everglow in 284 AE.

## Prison (289-1016)

Finally in 289 AE the castle received some repairs and renovations with holding cells. The University and the Senate came to an agreement that the island castle would serve well as a prison for those awaiting court dates and to comfortably (but not *too* comfortably) house criminal nobles.

The expansive grounds also provided an excellent place to train new recruits for the Everglow City Guard, leaving plenty of room to board them and their trainers.

1005 AE, the University expressed interest in holding the criminally insane at Untergrad, but the Senate took a while to approve it - Untergrad was rebranded as such in 1016 AE, shortly after the coronation of Queen Talia Blackthorne.

## Asylum (1017-)

In 1075, during the Red Death, a riot swept through Untergrad and Security was disassembled. The riot lasted 19th-24th of Fool's Moon and was ended by the Bastion City Blackjackets. Factors that led to the riot were the Queen's recent death and the lack of preventative care in dealing with the Red Death.

## Physical description

### Eye color

brown

Rivka Vennet was born in Briochi to Freyr and Dinth Vennet in the year 999 AE.

In 1014 AE, Rivka was married to Jaster Blackthorne. Jaster fought in the Everglow Tourney and won a dubious victory over Dorian Knox in order to become champion; a fight broke out between them and the older knight was crippled by Jaster's blade. The Blackthorne heir's wedding was the next day and the ceremony went well until Dorian's brother Preston stormed it with a group of armed soldiers, seeking revenge on the groom. In the ensuing scuffle, Lord Arthur was slain. As a result Jaster was named Lord of House Blackthorne. He had no time to adapt to his new title as he was forced to lead a war effort against House Knox for their actions. Jaster unfortunately 'died' in the Massacre at the Riverford. After this, Rivka found she was with child. Her father advised she keep this pregnancy hidden so that she wouldn't be targeted by Jaster's power-hungry uncle Dominic Blackthorne.

In 1015 AE, she married Casim Ludlow at the Heartstone Estate in Sylvie Isle, Caybourne. Shortly after, she lost the pregnancy she had in her first marriage to Jaster Blackthorne. Rivka and Casim relocated to Briochi when the illegitimacy of Casim's heritage was revealed.
The Black Elf

The Black Elf is a long standing piece of folklore that people use to terrify children and to sew the evils of bad elvish. In reality the Black Elf is an agent of pure chaos and destruction, the progenitor of the Void Elves, and a devastating historical killer that seeps in and out of the flow of Aradia's history at random-showing up to decimate swatch of peoples in moments before leaving once more.

The apparent origins of the elf start in an ancient city that nobody knows the name of apparently in the heart of Obscura. The elf was a bastard child to a princess and cast away to be killed, instead he was saved by a low caste family and raised a peasant. When he learned his birthright he was angry, but he submitted there was nothing to be done. When his family was killed for having defied the will of the royalty, having caught wind that this bastard was alive, he snapped and pleaded with all the dark powers of the Void in rage and melancholy to give him the strength to make them suffer in exponential terms of his own.

Apparently a High Demon heard his pleas and had him infected with thousands of raging spirits of wrath, greed, pride, and envy. So much so that his fury was limitless and he was changed. He destroyed the city in one night supposedly and when people came to investigate they committed suicide at the sights they saw. The city was obliterated and the legend was to die, but people would always sing it, tell it, continue its legacy for generations to come.

Throughout history there are events where an unreasonably high number of sinners and innocents are slaughtered in large numbers. One such event happened to Elmer Twicefreed during an incident after the collapse of a mysterious civilization. The Black Elf annihilated an entire slaver ship, including all the innocents captured aboard only leaving Elmer alive in the hope he would become a host such as himself.

In far more recent times he was briefly spotted killing off remaining Sanistar members, townships in the surrounding area, and assaulting Fairmane. He was later 'killed' by Divankul Dul-Sansiska.

However, this is not where the story ends for this powerful host of wrath, he needs to come back around an finish what he's been doing.

Arthur Blackthorne (son of Jacques)

Jacques Blackthorne (father)

Hadriana Hassarath (mother)

Gyles Blackthorne (brother)

Jarvis Blackthorne (son)

Malcolm Blackthorne (son)

Serra Blackthorne (daughter)

Clara Blackthorne (daughter)

Lucas Blackthorne (nephew)

**Arthur Blackthorne** was the eldest son of Jacques Blackthorne and his wife Hadriana Hassarath, the grandson of the infamous Jarvis Blackthorne, and as of 360AE the Third Lord of House Blackthorne. He is not among the most fondly remembered of those to lead the family; his reign was troubled in its early years by the strong influence of his mother and grandmother, whose conflicting personalities created divisions among his councilors, while his own lack of forcefulness led to a difficulty maintaining the harsh policies of his predecessor. Though he seemed weak in the political arena, Arthur was a born warrior, well-known as a fierce fighter who won many a tourney melee through his skill with a morningstar. After winning one such championship he impressed and won the hand of Therese Mannister, who would go on to give him two daughters (Serra was married into mainland nobility, while Clara was found guilty of witchcraft and hanged at the age of 14) and two sons, Jarvis and Malcolm.

Arthur often avoided going to council meetings and attending the senate, leaving these tasks to his bookish younger brother Gyles as he focused upon his own pet project; the subjugation of the Orc-ruled Marshlands, his enthusiasm for which earned him the nickname of "Conqueror Griffin". These plans never materialized much past simple raids alongside his Rangers, and were mostly seen by his fellows as a way to release his frustration at his political inadequacies. In 382AE, when hunting greenskins on a night beneath the Soldier's Moon, Arthur's party came across a wandering Red Orc, who proved considerably tougher than the usual rabble. Arthur's 16-year-old firstborn Jarvis died first, and the Lord himself followed not long after. His remains were recovered by his men and entombed below Griffin's Peak, and his 14-year-old secondborn son Malcolm followed him as the Fourth Lord Blackthorne.
The Zeldeam Chapter

this chapter marks the end of an era of the Xaliuris universe (The Era of Restlessness).

the story starts off with the height of the Enderaion/Ascended War, where both factions of the Aetherian and Voidian Races fought with and against each other. meanwhile Humans and Arcams created an fighter capable of taking on the armies of the Ascended, but as further investigations went on in Shardius, as it turned out that the creators of the devastating Omniars are the Shardian and Xharias.

Multiple Human and Arcam Warships appeared in Shardius in search of the original creators of the Omniars, but was halted when the Humans found out that the Ascended figured out on how to restart an Omniar core Belonging to Valcarunos, so the Zeldeam Unit A-033 was dispatched to takeout the Ascended forces.

during the time a Zeldeam Squadron was deployed to retrieve the heavily damaged Aris Valiant in the old Grand Reef Shipyards, when the Squadron discovered that the Aris Valiant was powered by several Omniar cores, wiping out the squadron.

the story ends during the Last Aulnar Event, resulting the Great Fracturing of Shardius and the Destruction of the Omniar Core O.S., however, the Omniars who are immune to the kill command are the ones created by Areix, an Shardian Officer (and the last of its race).
Stormborn

King Berethor, a noted Stormborn

### Distinctions

Red hair, grey eyes, pale complexion, beauty, physical prowess, gift for sorcery and terramancy

### Members

Jason Blackthorne, Talia Blackthorne

**Stormborn**, often called **Stormlords** or **Storm Kings**, are a genetically-engineered race made from a composite of Human and High Elf characteristics. They descend from a colonizing race of Sorcerers in the Thunderlands that historians called the Grey Folk; these individuals managed to learn the ability to manipulate nature itself, including the factors that influenced the characteristics of their offspring, allowing them to cherry-pick the traits they desired the most and make them uniform among their children and their children's children. Different descendants of different Storm Kings vary in the areas they excel in, but they all share the uniform characteristics of High Elven beauty, superior mental and physical ability, and an affinity for the nature-manipulation sorcery known as Terramancy. They are longer-lived than ordinary humans and display a higher resistance to Demonic influence. The various crises that plagued the Thunderlands following the First Battle of Nchurdamz caused the Stormborn to gradually die out among the aristocracy as their magic waned. Their ancestry is most common in modern times in House Blackthorne, though the members of that family have heavily suppressed their magic. Their vassal houses, such as Karhall and Monmoth, also have Stormborn ancestry, though it is not as prevalent in their offspring.

Schools of Magic

In the world of Araida there are many was to practice magic, and those that do have categorized themselves for easy identifications. Not to be confused with Magic Caster Types, which details the sources of a Mage's power. Each listed school of magic has a department at the Mage University in Everglow City dedicated to its study, and a notable title to the leader of each category.

## Alchemists

Alchemists use their magic to create potions and draughts that cause arcane effects when imbibed. They are also concerned with transmutation, the ability to change the matter of an inanimate object into that of another material entirely; the Alchemists of the University have spent many centuries trying to create a method to transform iron into gold and water into wine, but with little success.

## Exorcism

Magic based primarily on hunting evil casters, wild monsters, spirits, and void based entities. The Univeristy's Master Exorcist is Divankul Dul-Sansiska

## Witch Hunter

Mages general dislike these types of casters, Witch hunters sculpt their magic use and techniques to hunt down other mages, good and evil.

## Warlocks

A Warlock is a battlemage, trained specifically in the use of destructive arcane potential. They are often employed on battlefields where their craft can be used for both offensive applications such as mortar-fire, and defensive applications such as force-fields. The currently recognized Grand Warlock at the University is Nestor Knox.

## Enchanters

Often considered the most lucrative field of magic, enchanters are experts in imbuing physical objects with magical power. Their craft is often looked down upon for its relative simplicity; even dwarves and High Elven smiths use elements of enchantment in their work, it is argued, which means a mage who specializes in the subject is far from remarkable. The difference between an average enchantment and a master one, however, can be a great difference indeed; the blade Redwing is an example of how effective an enchanter's work can be.

## Terramancy

The art of bending nature itself to one's will, invented by the ancient Stormlords. This ranges from manipulating the weather in order to cause great storms, to changing the appearance and physical makeup of an animal's (or even a human's) body. Terramancy is an extremely difficult art to gain an even intermediate understanding of; those capable of using it are often Sorcerers with an innate natural talent for the art, though Druids are known to practice minor forms of it as well. Talia Blackthorne is currently the only living Terramancer.
Royal Council

The **Royal Council** were a select group of individuals named by the Blackthorne Royal Family to assist in their governance of the Isles of Aradia. The institution was created by King Jaster the First under the advice of his uncle, Lord Yven Monmoth--the latter was also the first named member of the organisation, named as Hand of the King. The council is broken up into several offices or institutions, each tasked with overseeing a respective role in the realm's governance. The roles were considered a high honor for those named, noted by Arianne West as being the only step above "mere" Lordship that a noble could attain. In addition to monetary benefits, the position also granted a great deal of influence and control over the Monarch's dealings. The system, at it best, could be beneficial because it allowed a Monarch to draw in a wide array of experiences and wiser heads to allow their expertise to benefit the realm in areas they may not be so skilled in; at its worse, the council could be used for political manuvering and cronyism for sycophants, as seen in the conflict between the future King Gordon and his ambitious sister Valoria during the 1060s and 70s.

The Royal Council was abolished after the 1077 Revolution and the ensuing end of the monarchy, but the core idea of the system was combined with the previous institution of the Senate and led to the creation of the Aradian Parliament under the new regime.

Tazim Chakif

Amayl Heartstone-Rodin (half-niece)

Tazim was born in the Tropics in 938 AE. His half-sister Yimi Jun was his caretaker after his parents died to illness. He doesn't remember her sadly, as she died in childbirth (940 AE). The father of her motherless twins, Gauge Heartstone-Rodin, adopted Tazim and took him back to Everglow with his newborn children Keyair and Amayl.

In 955 AE (Tazim was age 17), Keyair chose to jump off his merchant father's success and start his own trade routes. Tazim agreed to be part of his crew, serving as his first mate.

Shortly after they left, news of Amayl's abduction by pirates reached them. They took part in the search alongside their trading enterprises, to no avail unfortunately.

He became close friends with Paris Kalani when he joined the crew in 957 AE.

He acquired most of his scars in 962 AE during a run-in with the Malabre Marauders, an infamous pirate crew captained by Nazaret Malabre. Tazim was captaining the ship that Nazaret sank, and most of his crew were executed before his eyes. He was left to die on the sinking ship but was rescued by Keyair and Paris, a little late to save anyone else.

Tazim remained with Keyair after that, working alongside him to prevent tragedies such as the last. With their strategic minds combined, they devised several tactics to protect the merchant fleet. This didn't always prevent attacks however, and Tazim took part in many skirmishes.

The merchant fleet would again run into the Malabre Marauders in 969 AE. The fleet arrived as the Marauders were executing crew members. Tazim hopped ships with Keyair and several more of their fighters only to find one of the crew to be executed was already spilling blood left and right. They assisted this last fighting crew member, a boy of seventeen who would later introduce himself as Mancel Ludlow.

Mancel joined the fleet and became a close confidant of Keyair's. Tazim liked the kid and suggested he be Keyair's new first mate. With Tazim's blessing, Keyair agreed. But Mancel offered a different arrangement - that he and Keyair become business partners. Keyair agreed, seeing the boy's potential.

Many things happened that year of 970 AE. Amayl was found alive. Caybourne was discovered by the Heartstones and began to be settled. Tazim liked the idea of sitting on dry land for some time and took part in building Shelter, Maria Vale, and the Heartstone Estate over the next few years.

With the construction and naming of Heartstone Estate in 973 AE, Tazim accepted Keyair's offer to be his Captain of the Guard there.

Tazim suffers from depression and PTSD, throwing his entire life into his work to distract himself. His men are well-trained and disciplined soldiers.

Despite being good friends with Paris, the two seem to avoid being seen with each other at any time it wouldn't be expected.

Darlessa Thormund (third wife)

Aurelia Pentaghast (fourth wife)

Lord **Pellinore Blackthorne** was the sixthborn son of Aron Blackthorne by his wife Daena of Volmark. He became Lord of House Blackthorne in 940AE, upon the death of his elder brother and predecessor Trystan, and he would go on to lead his family for almost 50 years until his death at the Battle of Brackensbridge, where he was personally slain by the Orc chieftain Bolzog. At the time of his death he was 88 years old, making him the second longest-lived Blackthorne ruler since Jason himself; this, coupled with the fact he was already past 40 when he became Lord, earned him the affectionate nickname of "the Old Griffin" among the populace. He was regarded as being a grim and stern man, perhaps owing to the guilt he felt after witnessing the death of his elder brother Arthur as a child, but his methods of ruling--cautious, conservative, slow to anger, but fierce when provoked--made him an able steward of the Blackthorne legacy. Pellinore married four times and had five children; three daughters named Adora, Indira and Eraena, and two sons named Giacomo and Edwyle.

## Appearance and Character

Alone of his siblings, Pellinore inherited a great deal of the Rookwood look from his grandmother, Joanna Hawthorne. Alone of his siblings he was tall, thin, and gnarled, with fierce grey eyes and a long, "beak-like" nose. His hair was long and lank; it had the Stormborn scarlet coloration, but turned to grey as he went older, as did his chest-length beard. Though his appearance might have grayed, his physicality never began to fail him and he remained fighting-fit until his death. He wore a distinctive winged helmet with his dark armor in battle, and carried his father Aron's axe.

Pellinore was said to be a cheerful child, but after he witnessed the fall of his elder brother Arthur from the tallest tower in Griffin's Peak it changed him. He spent the rest of his life as a stoic, stern and humorless man who rarely smiled and detested frivolity. He married four times but had little affection for any of his wives even as he outlived each one; only his eldest daughters Adora and Indira truly saw their father's affectionate side. Though an able and patient politician, Pellinore was a warrior at heart, and while his temper was nowhere near as fierce as his father's, it could still be a terrifying thing when roused.

In both appearance and personality, Pellinore is said to quite closely resemble his grandson Dominic; it is known that the young Bloodhawk looked up to his grandfather, and may have gone out of his way to put some effort into modelling his later persona by Pellinore's example.
Sylvie Heartstone †

Sylvie Heartstone was the childhood sweetheart of Sebastien Rodin. They explored their sexuality together and Sylvie always thought they would end up marrying, but Sebastien chose another woman. Unfortunately for him, he had gotten Sylvie pregnant just before betraying her. She gave birth to Gauge Heartstone-Rodin.

Sylvie told Gauge to keep his father's name as a reminder of what he should not become. She spent her years as a seamstress, making a little extra money on the side with prostitution once Gauge left home. When his merchant company picked up, he started sending her money and she retired from the latter job.

It was her grandson Keyair Heartstone's success which finally allowed her a place to retire completely. She enjoyed Caybourne for two years before passing in her sleep. Sylvie Isle is named for her.

Her family was not nobility, but they kept the unofficial name 'Heartstone' going through their line from their heritage based in Coeur.
Talisa Webb

### Relatives

Metheryl Aracena (great-kin) Nimbe Elassore Rodin (mother) Iliad Webb (twin brother) Talith Webb (daughter)

## Physical description

### Eye color

Blue

Talisa was born alongside her twin brother Iliad Webb to their mother Nimbe Webb on the 13th of Demon's Moon in 1056. Their father is unknown, but assumed (and regularly rumored) to be either Lyron or Aegis.

Along with her brother and mother in 1074, Talith was visiting her forebear Metheryl for her birthday with Iliad. After the family celebration on 13th of Demon's Moon, Talisa and Iliad went out for their own 18th-birthday celebration at a local inn & tavern. Iliad couldn't hold his liquor and soon passed out - Talisa rented a room for him and a charismatic drow helped her carry Iliad up. They got him on the bed, but got talking... and soon enough, they were on the bed too.

Iliad was thankfully never aware he was sleeping next to his sister and Avernus Lotus while his niece was conceived.

Talisa gave birth to Talith and died on 28th of Lady's Moon, while suffering the last stages of the Red Death.

### Members

**Orcs** are a sentient, warlike species native to the Marshlands. While they are recognized as one of Aradia's people, they are considered the least of the goddess' creations and are widely shunned. They are blessed with extraordinary physical prowess; their immense stature compliments their terrifying physical strength, and their boundless stamina allows them to withstand wounds that would otherwise be fatal. However, they are ugly, foul-smelling and stupid, with even the wisest among them displaying dim-witted and reckless behavior. Western scholars theorize that Orcs are incapable of creating or constructing anything for themselves, and live by taking resources from others. This makes them superior hunters, but has resulted in their inability to fit in with Aradian society, as they have terrorized the other peoples of the realm for all of recorded history. Orcs are loathed by the peoples of the Thunderlands, who have been waging a millennia-long campaign to exterminate the "green pigs" from the mainland. Most Orcs currently reside in the Marshlands under the leadership of their Warchief Grimgar Lockjaw, though some (such as the scholar Uun-Grad) have managed to integrate successfully with mainstream Aradian society. Their technology is very primitive and they often use crude axes and clubs, with armor made from hide and fur. There are few magic-users among the Orcs, with the one exception being the appointed Shaman of a Warchief, who serves as the leader's chief adviser.
Shiera Karhall

Dominic Karhall (brother)

Roderic Karhall (brother)

Isabella Karhall (sister)

Desmond Karhall (son)

Lady **Shiera Karhall** is the fourthborn child and secondborn daughter of Gawen Karhall and his wife, Yvette of Brecilidia. She is the current political head of her family, House Karhall. Shiera ascended to the unusual position of a female head of house as her elder brothers Dominic and Roderic killed each other in a duel when they were young, while her sister Isabella married into House Blackthorne (she named two of her sons Dominic and Roderic after the brothers she had lost), leaving Gawen's eldest daughter as the only heir apparent. Shiera lacks the longevity that many of High Elven bloodlines possess--she looks every one of her 98 years and is often talked or thought of as "Old." Despite of this Shiera's mind is as sharp as any younger woman's and she is known as a capable political leader, a strong and stubborn voice within the Blackthorne councils known for her conservative values (she often sides with her nephew Dominic) and proclivity for pipeweed. Shiera shared a tempestuous marriage with a Brecilidian merchant-lord named Orson for several years, and while they eventually separated, they did have a son together; the knight Desmond, who currently stands as Shiera's heir.
The Empress of Dusk

*"When is one defeated? Is it on the battlefield, when one is poisoned or crippled by an enemy, when one is defeated in a coup? It is none of these things, one is defeated when their spirit fails to rally once more unto the breach, and strike at the heart of the darkness that surrounds us all" -*The Empress, in a supposed dialogue to a court scribe in a musing.

Nadia Cul-Ternai, the Empress of Dusk.

The Empress of Dusk is a mysterious figure only mentioned in passing by surviving elves of the current generations. While her existence is documented in plenty of histories and recordings of the ancient dark elves, she is regarded as merely a myth today. Anyone who can recall when the belief in her existence, as well as her standing at the summit of all dark elves, are simply too old, too insane, or too mistrusted to be believed.

According to history tomes, she was one of a caste of elven leaders seen as Demigods, so powerful that they ruled over an empire, and so mysterious that rarely would one truly know who they were. The source of their power was said to be Aradia herself, bestowing great and righteous gifts to the dark elves and setting them on course for their eternal mission. Protect Terros from the threats of the Void, no matter the cost, and be vigilant over her beloved children, Humanity. Apparently, the demigods took this mission very seriously, and sought the best way to fulfill their purpose.

The Empress chose to levy her powers of persuasion, control over both magic and the martial arts, as well as her intellect and sense of governance. In short she was the most balanced in terms of skills, and could perform any one function to a reasonable degree, in comparison to her counterparts. She turned out to be more than effective if the stories are to be believed, turning hundreds of small kingdoms and factions into one unified society within a matter of a thousand years. She was said to be a ferocious user of the Golden Tongue, and wielded a heavy silver scepter for a weapon, an imposing sight on the battlefield to be sure when she and the other demigods, and their followers would charge to unite those that wished to remain apart. She is told to have defeated the old heroes and the false saints in these times, and her enforce peace, while uncomfortable for a time, would last for tens of thousands of years to come.

The Technos Tetra is a rather historical ship for Humanity the ship was created to help get humanity out of its dark ages.

The Technos Tetra was created in Sanctrist city, as a primary battleship to defend against attackers, however the ship was redesigned to be the primary flagship when the Sanctrian takeover begun. its second form made it much more threatening, having four high damaging weapons in the front. lets say that it did not have very much competition in the air. which then the Sanctrians successfully take over the world.

During the height of the Nazar War the Technos Tetra was reconstructed off the old original that was made in the Sanctrian Government takeover. the Mark II variant featured a long range piercing beam on one side and the otherside featured a array of Plasma Cannons to compensate for the weight imbalance, making it more formidable then the fleet's largest non capital ship

The Technos tetra was destroyed to give the ground assault force a straight shot to the Omega. but the Technos tetra didn't go down without a fight as it took down 4 Voidian Battleships, 7 Voidian Destroyers and 3 Voidian Cruisers
Wulfram "The Hermit" Holdenhome

Wulfram was known as "The Hermit" during his life due to his withdrawn nature.

In 909 AE (when Wulfram was 30 years old), Aron's son Ector and several of his friends were using The Hunting Grounds of Homefast but in their drunken antics, set fire to the woods. Ector died in the ensuing wildfire and Aron blamed Wulfram as the incident happened on Holdenhome lands. Delilah talked down Aron, but the incident had soured the engagement and Wulfram had no desire to marry into a family with Aron in it - he broke the betrothal, much to the disgust of many noble families.

Wulfram became known as "The Hermit" as the events surrounding Ector's death caused him to close The Hunting Grounds to the Aradian public. He became withdrawn and rarely ventured from his lands unless it was to fight orcs to the west. He declined all invitations to social gatherings and became obsessed with healing the lands that had been burned.

Wulfram finally married a commoner in 930 AE (age 51). In 935 AE, his firstborn son Richardis Holdenhome was born.

### **Legacy/Current**

The Hunting Grounds have never been re-opened to those not living in Holdenhome lands.

Spider-Queens

### Distinctions

Greatly-oversized, often brightly-colored. Ability to command spiders (regular and giant) together as a force. Mate regularly with their lesser counterparts, but only produce another Spider-Queen every century or so.

Mainland Aradia is well-known for its giant-spider population. The Wilds and Silkwood the more predominant nesting grounds for larger breeds. But the Spider-Queens reign over the Wilds with viciousness and intelligence not seen in other spiders.

The Spider-Queens originate from the experiments of a Demon called The Ancient, known during the time Vermithrax the First Underking was warping the Void Elves into what they are in modern times. How the Spider-Queens entered the mortal realms is not known, but scholars knowledgeable on the topic assume it was an accident as newborn Spider-Queens can be extremely small such as regular spiders at times. They believe some hitched a ride with mortals back into the mortal realm, but no timeline can be established with full certainty on when this occurred.

Some members of Shatterlight Coven believe it was early members of their order that are at fault for the Spider-Queen infestation of the Wilds.

The Spider-Queens can telepathically communicate with and command any other spider to devastating results. They made their home in the Wilds where they apparently originated on the Mortal Realm. But they have been known to wander as far as the Silkwoods, and during the Spreading of Obscura, even as far as Everglow City.

Spider-Queens are fueled by their never-ending desire for food, and to breed. It takes many years for them to reach full-size (larger than a house in some cases) but they are capable of breeding from a very small size and young age. However, they cannot produce another Spider-Queen until fully grown, and it takes at least a century before they are ready to produce another.

Although they may seem vindictive with such sinister forces at their behest, Spider-Queens are entirely food-driven - until it comes to demons. In the latter parts of the Demon Wars of 144-280AE, when the demons retreated into the Silkwood and the Wilds, the Spider-Queens and their followers actually favored demon-flesh instead of their usual prey. This led to an unofficial truce while Shatterlight Coven and the Spider-Queens finished off the demons. Then they went right back to treating the elves of Shatterlight Coven as their meals.

Spider-Queens do not fight over territory. They spread out, resulting in fatalities on the edges of Spider-Queen lands whenever a new one is born. But they do not work together, respecting each others' space. It appears that in close proximity to another Spider-Queen, the telepathic power of each conflicts with their followers to the point of mass confusion.

Spider-Queens telepathy grows with them as they increase in size and strength. A newly spawned Spider-Queen generally only has enough power to convince a small handful of regular-sized spiders to feed and breed with her.
Ethriax

Ethriax is the largest Xharia to exist. its unknown where it patrols around as it causes no gravitational fields or light distortions but the reports indicate that its size is nearly twice the size of the Aetherian Labyrithian

Spoilers: *~~Ethriax appears in the end Zeldeam Chapter. while your player (Rek) get his Zeldeam unit to discharge an Antimatter bomb, because the weapons on the Zeldeam was not strong enough to damage Ethriax's shell. however, the Aris Valiant(True Omniar Form) fires a beam that annihilates Ethriax's shell. and unleashes a brutal barrage that destroys Ethriax ending the madness that Ethriax Created.~~*
Airwrath

The Airwrath was a Decommissioned X-33 class Judicator due to the damage sustained by the Dark-Light war when it took a direct Void Beam to its body however Aurian, got the shield generator to work.

The Airwath is the fastest X-33 class ship because it use gravitational wells to move around instead of the perpetual engines that most Aetherian ships use
