Moraeli

Moraeli is a meal popular in Blinkwind Haven and other areas of the Aethelwald.

## Description

Having started as a subsistence meal made from that which can be readily foraged - for many it has not evolved beyond this - Moraeli is a dish particularly popular amongst the oft austere residents of Blinkwind Haven as a proof of both their self-sufficiency and their understanding of the forests and grasslands around them. It has subsequently grow popular through the Aethelwald, with similar dishes cooked elsewhere likewise, but at its core comprised of wild rice and foraged mushrooms - puffballs, porcinis and elf cups - stewed together until soft and tender to the bite.

Served alongside pickled vegetables, mustards and boiled eggs, more elaborate versions also include foraged herbs, use of stock in place of water to provide further flavour and seasoning, and sometimes roots such as Unctuo Root are added too, particularly so when given to the infirm, injured or otherwise exhausted. Regardless, Moraeli is considered a vegetarian dish, and thus adding meat or fish to it is all but unheard of.
House of Ashenmourne

* Coat of Arms
* Territory

The House of Ashenmourne is a Noble Knightly house from the Province of Rethamia in Atralran, holding the title of Baronnet.

## History

The House of Ashenmourne was founded by the Atral researcher Gilo, who sought permission from Eldarion I Goldlor to undertake a number of studies at the periphery of the Ashenvale after the expedition of Ealwant Besculus into the magical blight in 23WD. Since then, the House of Ashenmourne has maintained the southern border of the Ashenvale on behalf of Atralran, eventually being granted nobility in recognition to these efforts, and that of uncovering relics of Atral military history. Taking the name Ashenmourne, Gilo and his household sought to use the Siege of Iron and what became of the lands in which it took place as a lesson for the future moving forwards.

The House has collaborated historically with the Academy of Erudition at Velbalt on a series of further expeditions.

## Recent History

The current Baronnet of Ashenmourne, Felix Ashenmourne maintains cordial relations with the Academy of Erudition, trading extensively with the city of Oxresh.

## Coat of Arms

The House of Ashenmourne flies banners displaying *Nine Broken Golden Swords on a Field of Grey,* said to represent the nine houses of high nobility extinguished upon the battlefields of the Siege of Iron. As such, the broken sword has come to be a symbol of mortality in Atral culture, a reminder that even the strong and capable may be brought low lest they maintain their integrity.

## Description

The House of Ashenmourne is a predominately-human Noble Knightly House. They maintain lands on the southeastern edge of Atral territory, composed of 1650mi2 of territory made up of dense forest and stricken grasslands afflicted by the presence of the Ashenvale. Surrounding the lands are the Greater Greensong to the west, the Long Divide to the east, the Ashenvale to the north and the lands of the House of Boldsinger to the south.
Kvass

Kvass is a fermented beverage popular in the Timberlands.

## Description

Although usually made from stale rye bread in Oxresh and its surrounding settlements, Kvass can be made from other breads. Regardless of its original type, it is typically used only once stale, as per the frugal customs the Gawylthians, to which its creation is credited, at which point it is immersed with malt in hot water along with yeast and sugar, creating a cloudy and light-hued beverage that is mildly alcoholic. Most brewers typically strain the resulting drink through cloths to clarify it, and it is often further modified with the addition of mashed and whole strawberries, dried fruits and muddled with mint leaves.

Sometimes, kvass is subsequently used as the basis for broths, stews and other meals, but is more commonly just drunk as is, and due to the very low level of alcohol content, is readily enjoyed across all ages, with further sweetened versions by means of added honey or syrups particularly popular amongst children and youth.

## Recent History

While kvass is readily enjoyed in the Timberlands, it has struggled to find a market outside of the region, and thus is rare to encounter beyond the city of Oxresh and its surrounding settlements.
Kalonvir Jalzazhuss

Kalonvir Jalzazhuss is a drow residing within Castle Jalzazhuss as part of the Jalzazhuss Den.

## Description

The nephew of the Matron Mother Umrae Jalzazhuss, Kalonvir Jalzazhuss is the highest ranking male member of the Jalzazhuss Den, working to coordinate expeditions into the surrounding area to search for the lost and guard them from the evils prowling both stone and sand. He is quick to react to danger and although he shares the faith of his Den members, he is prone to rashness in matters of judgement more than most of his peers.

Like all the members of the Den, Kalonvir wears a moonstone pendant in his left ear as well as encrusting his scaled plate with the gemstones.

## Relationships

### Liege

House of Verninac

The House of Jauffret is a Noble Knightly house from the Province of Vardony in Atralran, holding the title of Régysseur.

## History

The history of the House of Jauffret is a curious one, in that it was not founded directly through the actions of the Tabaxi that now hold the title of Régysseur, but rather by a fey-touched horse known as Casellian, formerly associated with the Fairy Club. After departing east to travel the continent, where upon their travels numerous individuals acting in capacities licit and illicit attempted to capture him, noting his splendid shimmering coat of dappled green. So offended by the efforts of a particular group of poachers was Casellian that they instead parleyed with the group, teaching them the proper process of animal husbandry, with respect for the creature first and foremost. So successful were his teachings that the Tabaxi soon became famed as premier horse tamers and breeders, soon supplying the Silvertowers and the other Noble Houses of Atralran with near exclusivity.

Tales vary regarding the ultimately fate and locale of Casellian themselves, with many citing a return to the Feywild, but with a variety of further details - some claiming Casellian was summoned into return by an Archfey themselves, though several names are usually offered up, at the request of an almighty eladrin wanderer who stepped forth from a tree to beckon with a hand clad in twig and leaf, or just at Casellian's own whim.

## Coat of Arms

The House of Jauffret flies banners displaying a *Green Horse's Head Erased on a Field of Mint Divided Crimson Dancetty Per Fess.* The charge plays clear homage to the debt owned by the House of Jauffret to their unexpected and unusual benefactor, but another tale pertaining to Casellian's departure cites the Coat of Arms as the reason, with the fey-touched horse describing his depiction upon them as "*simply ghastly, they've got my brow all wrong!*"

## Description

The House of Jauffret is a predominately Tabaxi Noble Knightly house, typically possessing fur in shades of yellow or orange, with patches of dark dappling and stripes. Originally of the Clan of Southfang's Bite, they set aside their names in place of one more fitting of Atral nobility upon their ascension. They maintain lands on the eastern edge of central Atralran, composed of 1300mi2 of territory made up of open grasslands and steep hills occupied by thousands of horses, wild and domesticated. They are surrounded upon all sides by other houses of the Province of Vardony, including their liege, the House of Verninac, to the southwest.
Klavata

Klavata is a pastry-based dessert originating from Sunstone.

## Description

First created as a dish for the royal family of Sunstone, the Farises, Klavata quickly spread in popularity throughout the Realm, and was soon served throughout - from the coastal Astaz to the vastly-inland Conda. From there, it found further favour in neighbouring Realms, particularly so that of Lachlen and the Empire of Codorne, but ultimately remained most popular in its Realm of origin. Since the fall of the old Realms, it has become a staple desert in the lands of the Hollow Concord.

Even with the passage of time and location, Klavata has ultimately remained the same - layered pastries doused in honey, dates and chopped nuts of various kinds, enjoyed both a desserts and a sweet breakfast, with vast and elaborate displays made of individual pieces popular during festivals and celebrations.
House of Batelwrote

* Coat of Arms
* Territory

The House of Batelwrote is a Noble Knightly house from the Province of Vardony in Atralran, holding the title of Baron.

## History

After three years of lost communication with Ealwant Besculus, King Eldarion I Goldlor commissioned the construction of Ashenwatch Redoubt in 26WD, a central keep with walls sprawling thirty miles to the north and south with slight convexity to enclose the encroaching borders of the Ashenvale. Stationing one of his Lord-Generals as commander of the outpost, the House of Batelwrote would come to be, who have acted to fortify the settlement further still ever since, as well as bolster the population behind it - the lands maintained by the House of Batelwrote now home to countless minor villages and hamlets.

## Recent History

The current head of the House of Batelwrote is Elfyr Batelwrote, who holds the titles of Baron of Ashenwatch Redoubt and Lord-General of the Silvertowers.

## Coat of Arms

The House of Batelwrote flies banners displaying a *Sword and Wand Crossed on a Field of Blue with Pink Division Per Pile.* The history of the Spellslingers of Atralran is a long and storied one and individuals of such skills can be found throughout Atralran and beyond, but few places upon the continent are they found in greater density - save perhaps the location of their training, the Crimson College of Redbloom - as Ashenwatch Redoubt. Their signature weapons, a paired blade and arcane focus, are a rallying cry for all that stand watch upon the walls, testing their mettle against the horrors that would seek destruction in their wake.

## Description

The House of Batelwrote is a predominately half-elven Noble Knightly house. They maintain lands on the eastern border of Atral territory, composed of 1550mi2 of territory made up of grasslands cultivated or otherwise that serve as training grounds for the Silvertowers. To the north are the sparse lands of the House of Vaugeois, the House of Jauffret to the west, the Province of Rethamia and the House of Dubois to the south and the awe-inspiring and terrible Ashenvale to the east.

Hard-working and diligent, seemingly to gain good favour in the eyes of their idol, Jackie is determined that one day, he too may be as cool as Dark Blossom clearly is.

## History

Jackie was purchased from the stables in Amber Run by Coel in anticipation of a ride north through the Heartsword Pass to investigate Rossthane Thicket.

## Backstory

After the deaths of his brother and mother, Rynros was forced to train and study by his father who feared for his remaining son. Days starting with histories of magic, languages and practical usage. Ending in severe endurance training, blackout brawls ending with meditation and reflection.

*Contracts*

Reindeer Tartare

Reindeer Tartare is a popular dish in Howell Town and its surrounding settlements.

## Description

A more affordable variation on the steak tartare enjoyed upon the tables of the wealthy and influential, Reindeer Tartare comprises of finely-diced or minced raw reindeer meat served with pickled capers (either raw, or roasted) and soft-boiled eggs - in contrast to the raw egg yoke of more prestigious forms which might otherwise waste the remainder of the egg. Often bulked out with sides of mushrooms and onions, Reindeer Tartare is a common find on the menus of a number of taverns and inns.

Further variations utilising other sources of meat exist, including those that instead use fresh fish in place of terrestrial meat sources.

## History

Founded by Petrus Dubois after completing his Trial of Spirit in 110WD, after serving as a Régyr under the House of Batelwrote for a number of years, Petrus was given the lands of the House of Pledger whose bloodline was found to have been corrupted by the denizens of the Abyss in prior years, and had had their lands relinquished while the machinations were uncovered.

## Recent History

The current head of the House of Dubois is Petrus Dubois, who holds the title of Régysseur of Trial's End. His heir is Marcel Dubois.

## Coat of Arms

The House of Dubois flies banners displaying *Division Per Fess, Blue Semy of Lozenge on a Field of Black, Blue Fusily on a Field of White with Chief of Lilac*. Petrus reports that the house colours were inspired by the colour of the doublet of the knight that dubbed his Trial of Spirits complete, and is evocative of several other patterning used by other Noble Houses through Atralran.

## Description

The House of Dubois is a predominately-human Noble Knightly house. They maintain lands on the eastern edge of Atral territory, composed of 1650mi2 of territory made up of lightly forested hills with farmland to the western edge.

To the north, Ashenwatch Redoubt and the territory of the House of Batelwrote are located, with the ever present threat of the Ashenvale dominating the eastern horizon.
Kavouri

Kavouri are monstrous creatures that combine features from both a giant crab and winged bat-like wings.

## Description

Kavouri typically fly through the Feywild in large flocks of dozens of individuals, the click and chorus of their communications heard from afar. Their narrow body form, similar to that of a crab, allows them to aerodynamically cut through their air, which wide leathery-winged occasionally beat to lift themselves aloft. Kavouri hunt small prey, dismembering it with their two pairs of pincers, before feeding it piece by piece into their beak-like mouth.

Despite their monstrous appearance, Kavouri are revered by some individuals in the Feywild, who see the touch of Caihrnn directly in their form, the crab being the Lord in the Quiet Places favoured beast.

## History

Having spied them flying overhead from afar earlier in the day, a lone Kavouri was encountered by a party of adventurers during their journey to Aldagrelithane, having set off from Amber Run in 134WD, Vluk-Whiterose. While *Wildshaped* into a rabbit, Timbermitt caught the Kavouri's attention, but his change back to his elven form startled the monstrosity, sending it into flight.

Later, at the Spire of Beckoning, flocks of Kavouri thousands-strong accompanied Erastus, serving to fight in the skies above the fortification against numerous gloomstalkers and rabenhexes while the battle raged onwards around them.
Mandrake Root

Mandrake Root is an alchemical plant more commonly simply referred to as simply Mandrake.

## Description

Said to grown where Humanoid blood has been spilled, Mandrake Roots carry an oft sinister reputation, furthered only by their rough exterior which is able to cut fabric and skin with sustained contact. Further still, the fibrous flesh of a mandrake, which is often found to form in the appearance of a twisted visage or bipedal form, is both hallucinogenic and toxic, and thus caution must be taken when handling the root.

## Usage

Mandrake Root, when dried and powdered, forms the basis of the poison Malice, which readily also blinds individuals if cast into the air around them.
Sabina LeChaney

Sabina LeChaney is a human bard affiliated with the Green Quill Troupe.

## Description

Born into nobility in the city of Chalimar, Sabina proved to be a rebellious child, continuously upstaging her parents' expectations of her. Originally intended to be sent to study at the Crimson College of Redbloom as is common for many nobleborn children, Sabina instead spent much of her time at Pride's Call, the theatre located within the settlement, receiving tutelage under the performers there. When her parents discovered her ruse, Sabina instead departed south, meeting Malmond Battleward on the road - with the pair falling into place in the goals of the wood elf Kelun as members of the Green Quill Troupe.

Intending to create a portal to the Feywild at the behest of the Archfey Morgaelei, the resulting rift instead tore through to the Abyss, nearly allowing the egress of the scheming and deceitful Demon Prince Acherontia in the process. Despite this, with the primary rift closed, Sabina continued to follow Kelun's lead, seeking to hunt down the remaining escaped demons in penance.

## Research

### Completed by Siebern Kuiper

*The wood of this amulet has not been carved, but instead shaped by clearly magic means. It appears to be intended for use of a medium creature, but nonetheless shows properities of organic growth that give support to the idea that it would adjust to fit the wearer. Emulating occasionally around it is an aura of shimmering yellow-green haze of dim light.*

*Spending more time with the periapt finally results in the item attuning to your presence. When attuned to this amulet, you gain the following benefits:*

1. *Increase your Intelligence or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.*
2. *You learn to speak, read, and write Sylvan.*
3. *You learn the misty step spell and can cast it once without expending a spell slot. You regain the ability to cast it in this way when you finish a short or long rest.*

*Whispers of words are granted to you the moment you take it into your hand after achieving attunement, accompanied by a flash of watchful eyes of muted moss-green.*

*"Seek out this faithful servant of the One With The Dirt, the Lord in the Quiet Places. Return what was stolen."*

*The vision fades and the aura around the periapt seemed to glow a little bright for a moment.*
Pelagon

Pelagon was a half-elf priest of Emes that often frequented the Matron House in Rydoon.

## Description

Pelagon was first encountered by an adventuring party during their visit to the Matron House on the hunt for the Butcher of Byllastro. Standing in stark contrast to the leathers worn by Ilana, Pelagon instead clad himself in loose-cloth much more fitting for the temperate climate of the city. Unlike Ilana, Pelagon often frequented the island of Golgyra, performing rituals and services in The Piscina of the Pelagic.

His prized possession was a moonstone and lapis lazuli pendant that acts as his spellcasting focus.
Ra-Larara

11% Dwarves

7% Kobolds

6% Others

Textiles

Ra-Larara was one of the Realms of Ahlus.

## History

In a naming convention shared with the Realm of Ra-Galthe, Ra-Larara was one of the nations created by the collapse and fragmentation of the Empire of Raq. Though proud of their Qalraq heritage and so keeping reference to it in the Realm they forged, the people of the newly-formed Realm of Ra-Larara sought assistance from the dwarves of Mol Boramm in the construction of a strong keep in which they could hold their councils and meetings. The dwarves named it Khonoldhur, while the folk of Ra-Larara instead referred to it as Mashoqiq.

The Guild of the Golden Grain, specialising in Conjuration magics, was based in the borders of Ra-Larara.

## Society

Second only to Nidaynia, Ra-Larara was a mountainous Realm with limited land for agricultural purposes. Despite it, one in two Larraqs were directly or indirectly involved in the growing of grain and other crops, bolstered in these pursuits by the techniques taught by the Guild of the Golden Grain.

Competing against altitude, scarcity of flat land and climatic uncertainty, farmers used ingenuity in turn, building in scattered tiers so that if one crop failed, others would not. Hardier grains were favoured and once harvested stored in purpose-built constructions know as Qillqas capable of storing food for in excess of two years without spoiling. Dried meats also served a key role in Larraq cuisine, supported by staples of other tubers and roots.
Parchment of the Dustlords

The Parchment of the Dustlords was a set of scrolls discovered within the Inner Sanctum of the Tomb of Khitros.

## Description

Stored within an ornate leather tube reinforced with bands of tin and decorated with discs creating wheels with twisted swords for spokes. Tightly bundled within are numerous pages of parchment, primarily of text.

## Research

### Completed by Siebern Kuiper

*"The Lords of Anorcor were amongst the most powerful evocation magic users on the continent of Ahlus - their arcane arts more than sufficient to dissuade attempts at invasion, as well as most aspects of border travel. Isolated by sand storms, swarms of biting and stinging insects in great plagues miles long, few had entered the region, let alone explored it. The limited outside knowledge came in form of bold travellers reckless enough to travel through such setbacks - and survive the journey home."*

*"At the turn of the 96th decade since Aita's Second Gift, the magics started to wain. The western border faltered, allowing parties from Giado-occupied Codorne to enter. They found cities of glass, abandoned and empty - although still glimmering all the same. The other borders faltered over the next coming years, and the ever-shifting sands retreated into the hills and to the east once more. Grasses grew in their place, and aurochs were brought in to graze."*

*"Researchers have established from that was left behind that in the last days of Anorcor that there were three Dustlords, referred to as the Hallowed, the Zealous and the Sacrosanct. Others contest this, proposing instead that the Dustlords were simply the lieutenants of a greater and more powerful individual who tasked them with guarding the route and means to enter his tomb."*

After the final period of focused study, Siebern has managed to glean from texts the locations of the the tombs of the three Dustlords. The site of the Hallowed was already known, but it has been discovered that the Zealous' tomb is far to the north near the northwestern edge of the Ironfangs, and the Sacrosanct's at the heart of the region known as the Bone Fields.
Melissa qu Kazan

Melissa qu Kazan was an elven noble that resided in Rydoon as part of the Conclave of the Hollow Concord.

## Description

Ruler of the island of Peroda, Melissa qu Kazan was rarely seen in the city outside of formal events, preferring instead to maintain herself and her interests from the isle itself, or at the Renewal Hall within the Radiant Heart District of the isle of Cyrillai.

Melissa qu Kazan was the longest serving amongst the Archons come 134WD, having served in the role for over 100 years. Melissa served to bridge the gap between the Labile Thicket and the nobility seeking to building upon the isle, creating definitive borders and territories to keep each appeased.

## History

Melissa was briefly encountered by an adventuring party partaking in the Kroan Games in 7WD during the opening ceremony.

## Death

Melissa qu Kazan was within the Archon Tower during the Attack on the Isle of Midalios, she was amongst the slain when the spire was consumed by the storm, alongside the other Archons Ampier qu Orthan and Rania qu Xenakos.
Lysevian Broadnock

Lysevian Broadnock is a dwarven administrator based in Khonoldhur.

## Description

Little is known of Lysevian Broadnock, but as noted in their sign-off when writing to Alwin tlo Hambert, they seem to share affiliations with both the Duumvirate and the Galeriders. Holding the title of Bracemetal of the Banner of the Magnate, they also seem to be based in the Head Offices of the Galeriders within the city of Khonoldhur, styling themselves as a Diamondpin of the Guild.

## History

When seeking methods of travel to the cloud giant settlement of Ulding's Keep, Curious Couatls Caravans affiliate Alwin tlo Hambert contacted the Head Office of the Galeriders, having recently been elevated to the rank of Jadepin by the group. Offering up 3000gp to cover expenses, a letter inked and transported by means of a Stamp of Clamant Correspondence by Lysevian was returned to Alwin, offering up terms of the arrangement to hire a trio of Welkin from Dakkik of Oroto's Way Haulage.
Mirqaz

Mirqaz is a popular street food in Aviacrest.

## Description

Usually presented upon a wooden stick or metal skewer and rapidly grilled and charred over a fierce heat, Mirqaz sausages are usually made of goat or mutton and heavily spiced with cumin, peppers, fennel and garlic. They are often usually brushed with chilli oils during cooking, giving a spicy, smoky and meaty flavour readily enjoyed directly from the street vendors that frequently sell them. When left to cool, Mirqaz may then be enjoyed much as others would jerky or other meats as part of a ration pack while travelling.

Mirqaz is also often used as ingredient in itself, cooked as normal and then sliced and added into ragouts such as Tahghan, or mixed through dishes and salads made with couscous which are themselves cooked in the fats and oils that drip from the Mirqaz during its cooking.
Ndrilinx

## Lord of Bloodback Isle

* Artwork
* Symbol

Ndrilinx, known also as the Yowl of Bloodback Isle, is a Demon Lord of the Abyss.

## Description

A Demon Lord ruling from a volcanic isle at the heart of a vast seething tropical ocean, Ndrilinx has established a place amongst the greater Demon Lords and Princes as a capable corruptor and twister of souls, empowering his creations with the blood that perpetually weeps from lashings that have wrought wounds from shoulder to hip across his back. His children are weapons of war, though made of flesh and scale and flame in place of metal, wood and stone, and to the battlefields of the Blood War his offspring are readily delivered.
Nemlakos

## Lord of the Shattered Haven

* Artwork
* Symbol

Nemlakos, known also as the Shield of the Shattered Haven, is a Demon Lord of the Abyss.

## Description

A fallen solar still clutching to dominion over the fragment of Celestia that collapsed into the Abyss aeons prior to become Shattered Haven, 604th amongst the layers of the Abyss, the legions of Nemlakos are imbued with a divine radiance, a baffling amalgamation of armour wrought in celestial splendour nailed into the slathering flesh and chaos of the demonic soldiers chosen to bear them. The Shield of the Shattered Haven seems to have a particular hatred for Zariel the Blackened Feather, whom the Demon Lord readily decries as a failure, given their fallen and corrupted nature. Whether or not they are aware of the irony and hypocrisy of this stance is uncertain.
Pausare Leaf

Pausare Leaf is a jungle shrub similar to stinging nettles that grows freely in tropical regions with significant rainfall.

## Description

Pausare Leaf is a fast-growing plant that spreads radially by means of stolons and rhizomal growth, quickly covering large patches of the undergrowth and thus are common site for those travelling through the Tviatini Jungle and similar locales. Numerous insect species, particularly that of butterflies and moths, feed on Pausare Leaf during the early stages of their life cycles.

Originally identified by the various residents of the Tviatini Jungle, the cultivation of Pausare Leaf has become a major focus for the monks of Heizentaru, who are now the primary producer and exporter of the plant.

## Usage

Following removal of the small needle-like barbs from the stems of the Pausare Shrub, the dried leaves of the plant can be brewed and steeped into a drink that must then be chilled rapidly to prevent degradation of its active ingredients.  When consumed as part of a long rest, Pausare Leaf Tea helps the body recover from sustained strenuous activity, reducing exhaustion by two levels in place of the standard one.
Oorove

Oorove is a type of very rare plant that appears to exist on the edge of the Ethereal Plane.

## Description

The stem, leaves and flower of Oorove is near transparent, as if trying fading from corporality. Naturally, locating this tulip-like bloom thus presents a considerable challenge, an effort prompted by its use in a number of exotic potions. Within the Material Plane, Oorove is most commonly found within the Underdark, further adding to the challenge of its creation and cultivation.

## Usage

Oorove is used in a range of potions, including Potions of Invisibility, Oils of Shrouding, as well as in the production of Oil of Etherealness.
Kraken Grass

Kraken Grass is an aquatic plant that covers large stretches of sands and shingle in shallow waters.

## Description

Forming vast meadows in shallow sandy beds around banks of reefs, Kraken Grass grows from a central rhizome into dozens of curled tentacle-like leaf blades, which form important grazing grounds for numerous species, including turtles, herbivorous fish and juvenile members of countless species.

Despite their jagged appearance, early in life these blades are springy to touch, but sufficiently sturdy enough that some species will roll through fields of Kraken Grass to remove parasites from their skin and scales. When Kraken Grass reached maturity, the leaf edges harden, and can be used to create woven baskets, furniture and other items similar to wicker on the surface.
Ruhkvaz Rage

Ruhkvaz Rage was the hobgoblin warlord that commanded the Legion of the Black Hand until his death in 6WD Ardor-Amberlight.

## Appearance

Hulking, Ruhkvaz's appearance was near fiendish - most likely due to his dedication to both the Black Hand and the Storm of Rust - granting him strength and rage alike. He wielded the blade Iron Thorn, a mystical weapon created by Anorcorian deity, which granted him magical might as well as martial prowess.

## Death

When an expedition party arrived at Camp Dekhaanoc, Ruhkvaz Rage was visiting the site, seeking to claim the Hanbalani Core within for reasons yet unknown. During the subsequent battle, he and his berserker troops ravaged the adventurers, before the tide turned by the paw of the Way of Tranquility Monk Ume. Stunned and vulnerable, he was finally slain by Reginald S. Augustine who cleaved him in two with Dawnbringer.

After his demise, the Storm of Rust appeared, reclaiming Iron Thorn before departing.
Marshgas Mucus

Marshgas Mucuses are a type of ooze that commonly inhabits swampland and bogs.

## Description

Attracted by the escaping and highly flammable gases that bloom over bogs, mires, quags and all other manner of swampland, Marshgas Mucuses appear as a shifting and coalescing mass of floating viscous liquid. Along with natural gases, they also are attracted to the condensation of breath from living creatures, utilising this to hunt for prey - in doing so threatening to suffocate said creatures by flooding into their mouth and nose in pursuit of greater concentrations of the exhalations. The resulting panic is liable to send the mucus into a frenzy as further breaths are taken, although this attacks rarely prove fatal - an eventually unconscious creature's slowed breathing rate prompting the ooze to search for an alternative creature to target.

## History

Upon investigating the contents of Last Gasp Isle, a group of adventurers managed to fend off an attack from a number of Marshgas Mucuses, igniting the flammable gas making up much of their form to detonate them before lasting damage could be dealt.
Mist's Breath

Mist's Breath wines are a type of alcoholic beverages brewed in Aviacrest.

## Description

Famously created using water clouds passing by the city and gathered by means of fine meshes that trail from the side of the earthmotes until they reach such a density of moisture that they suddenly drain into collecting troughs positioned below, Mist's Breath wines come in a number of varieties, supposedly linked to the type of clouds used in their production as per the naming conventions - with cumulus and nimbostratus varieties particularly popular, with stratus-based wines are generally seen to be of middling quality at best.

Generally speaking however, all Mist's Breath wines are comparatively light and gently-sparkling, with a mellow fruity flavour that pair well with the smoky and spicy culinary offerings particularly popular throughout Aviacrest such as Mirqaz and Tahghan.

Quicksilver's Den was a location approximately a few days away from the Hiemal Waymark, and served as the home for the monstrous wolf Quicksilver and her pack.

## Description

Set into the side of a slate crag, the den of Quicksilver was a temperate but dark series of tunnels in which the pack made their home. Bones of previous kills were scattered at the peripheries, although when an expedition party uncovered the location in 4WD Loghelt-Amberlight carcasses of the remaining wolves had been pilled high - killed in the ire of Jarl Argak Agu-Vathala's loss of the rest of his clan.
Malhorn Emberbrand

Malhorn Emberbrand is a half-elf noble that served on the Lotus Council of Whittengrove, before the restructuring of the Council.

## History

Having moved to Whittengrove shortly after its formal colonisation in 3WD, Malhorn used his personal wealth to lay claim to a number of stretches of grassland to the west of the settlement, transforming them into prosperous farmland. With an invested interest in the continued success of the city for sake of business stability, he now finds himself well positioned to further aid its growth.

Malhorn is a great lover of the arts, and often spends what little spare time he now has in the theatre associated with Fonteyne's Fountain.
Myslovetsi

## The Agony's Feast

* Artwork
* Symbol

Myslovetsi, also known as the Agony's Feast, was an Archfey, and as such a being of immense natural power.

They were created by cultists of Venari utilising the potential of new growth created by the destruction of the Archfey known as the Wellspring Mare.

## Appearance & Personality

It is ultimately uncertainly the extent to which Myslovetsi was an individual entity, given the nature of their occurrence. Nonetheless, they appeared as a very tall humanoid with dappled flesh, much of their form obscured by layers of feathers, furs and a twisted and leering horned mask painted black and red - a blood moon wreathed in shadow. Their footsteps shifted seemingly at will from untraceable silence, to that of a lumbering creek and crack, the breaking of a branch in a forest thought to be unoccupied, while they possessed long shadow-wreathed claws capable at tearing at the very life force of an individual.

## Powers & Abilities

Myslovetsi seemed to delight, or at the very least excel in, stirring terror and sorrow within their victims, using its gaze to inspire fear, and a chorus of baleful miasma around it filled with whispered shrieks that stirred up imagery of sorrows of the past, wallowing guilt of the present, and a promise of further loss in the future.

## History

Myslovetsi, the Agony's Feast was seemingly created following the slaughter of the Wellspring Mare by followers of Venari, although the exact means through which this was achieved remains uncertain - and too the definitive purpose, beyond a delight in corruption.

An adventuring party from Amber Run, aided by the individuals Enor, Gwynrir and Isra Ssalla, travelled to the Timeless Vale, eventually collectively coming across the desolation at its heart, and moved to assault it with aid called in from Erastus, Sir of Silverbell Keep. Holding back the defenders for numerous rounds with assistance from flocks of Kavouri thousands strong and a trio of Sokan, the party managed to buy enough time for the assumed Archfey to evoke an potent incantation of epic scale, seemingly siphoning off the last of his divine life force and energy to simultaneously reset the Timeless Vale and its surroundings to rid them of their corruption, destroy the Agony's Feast, and sever the connection to the Shadowfell in one blinding flash of light.

Throughout the process, Myslovetsi appeared to have been puppetted from the waist by a vast shadow-wreathed clawed arm, akin to the same manner that a child may play with a toy, goading the Archfey into attacking and terrorising those around them. At the culmination of the ritual, this claw lunged forth towards the intense divine light of Erastus' erupting form that served to form a vast crab-shaped constellation of twelve stars, all in the area vanishing in blinding fashion.
Merrow Tears Mead

Merrow Tears Mead is a popular alcoholic beverage from the Petal Bay.

## Description

Most commonly being served and enjoyed wharfside in the ports and quaysides of Viridell and Qol, Merrow Tears Mead was originally created by Vattol, a merfolk warrior known for his campaigns against a number of merrow colonies located near his home of Naular in Petal Bay. Seeking to share in his victories with the sailors that had aided him in his conquests, he commissioned a tribe of beekeeping lizardfolk residing along the coast of Mkitos' Garden to create him a drink worthy of the tales of his exploits, the production of which has since been expanded by a number of breweries throughout the region.

It is distinguished by being clarified and filtered through racks of coral, and thus is known for both its clarity and slightly salted aftertaste that means it pairs well with savoury meals and snacks.
Remnant Hills

## The Remnant Hills

* Artwork
* Map

The Remnant Hills are the range of hills in central Ahlus, just south of the western stretch of the Ironfangs.

## Description

Stretching some one hundred and twenty miles from the Heartsword Pass to the territory of the city of Khonoldhur, the Remnant Hills are made up of a combination of regular slopes and inclines, and uneven jagged craters and pillars of stone seemingly cast from the heavens. During the wars shortly after the First Gift, the ground was sundered by the fearsome majesty of its combatants, their clashes tearing the soil and stone apart with each sweeping strike and vaulting leap. It has been suggested by some scholars that the Remnant Hills may have been formed from the material displaced in the formation of the Cicatrixes, for some of the hills are made from metamorphic rocks most typically buried deep underground, and so highly unusual to be found so freely upon the surface as is common place in this region.

The Remnant Hills were contained predominantly within the borders of Anorcor for most of the existence of the Realm, and so shrines, temples and tombs dedicated to Rak Tulkhesh, the Dustlords and the Anorcorian way of life are sometimes discovered and uncovered by adventurers in these lands. Such places are usually heavily trapped, and any that venture within are like to awaken the vengeful dead that slumber within, adorned in riches in death, as they did in life.
Mount Durnach

* Mountain
* Interior
* Map

Mount Durnach is a volcano in the eastern body of the Ironfangs.

## Description

A blackened peak in the otherwise drab greys and whites of the cordillera known as the Ironfangs, Mount Durnach is a squat mountain compared to its immediate neighbours, although an eye-catching nonetheless. Brown-black smog filled with ash drifts lazily skyward from both its zenith and another ridge on its northeastern side on most days, unimposing but consistent. Occasionally an amber-red glow can be seen against the dark stone peak.

Magmatic flows permeate the deeper caves of the area, referred to as the Veins of Dur by the fire giants and other residents that revel in the heat they bring. Throughout these tunnels all manner of specially adapted creatures are known to reside, ranging from patches of brown mold that feed off heat, to bats and spiders seemingly made of flame, other elementals, and monstrous magma-eating worms known as Basalt Borers.

## History

One of the caverns on the side of Mount Durnach served as the lair of the red dragon Balzanok. After the dragon was slain during the Second Battle for Viridell, an adventuring party travelled to the volcano in an attempt to claim the portion of the dragon's hoard contained within, fighting through waves of elementals set to guard the lair, finding it to be in the process of being pillaged by fiends associated with the Creed of Kaleios.

Deep beneath the Mount, interwoven amongst the Veins of Dur is the Fire Giant Citadel of Jernvegg.

The area has been a popular haunt of numerous red dragons over the years. In 134WD, it was the lair of Pyrkvohon, also known as the Blisterer, who adorned the tunnels with numerous infernal enchantments and traps, many of which were presumed to have been left within as a result of Balzanok's links between the Hells and the Creed of Kaleios, as well as number of additions of their own design. Pyrkvohon seemed to tolerate the presence of numerous other creatures within their lair, including ropers capable of surviving in lava, and basalt borers themselves, acknowledging the ever-changing routes through the volcano would present a continued challenge for any wishing to travel through.
Lanstrom

Lanstrom is a unicorn that serves as the advisor and steed for Gilbert X Goldlor, the King of Atralran.

## Description

Radiant, splendid and social, Lanstrom is a celestial creature at home amongst nobility. Having long held ties with the Goldlor family, who in turn have long held ties with the eladrin of the Feywild, specifically that of the Aldergreen Court of Morgaelei, from where Lanstrom hails. Having served as a companion to Sílon before his ascension to the throne as Eldarion I Goldlor, the newly-crowned King sought out the unicorn to join him in his court - a role he has served in ever since, now alongside Eldarion's son, Gilbert.

As well as being a wise councillor, Lanstrom's innate divine magic provides a number of other boons to the Gildhearth Throne, as well as a means for the King to travel significant distances with a small entourage in an instance.
Potion of Impersonating

Potions of Impersonating are magical potions that allow the imbiber to near perfectly mimic the appearance and sound of another creature.

## Description

This colourful potion seems to spontaneously shift in colour and viscosity, a manifestation of the potential of the transmutative magic bottled within it. Created by means of Alchemist's Supplies to combine a Fundamentum Philtre base with Dragon Fennel (usually of several colourations), flaked morganite gemstones and the putty made from compressing Waxhusk and then straining the fibrous remnants free.

## Effects

A creature that drinks this potion gains the ability to cast *Disguise Self* at-will with only somatic components for the next ten minutes, as well as the ability to mimic the speech of another person or the sounds made by other creatures. The drinker must have heard the person speaking, or heard the creature make the sound, for at least 1 minute.
Pazuzu

## Prince of Panuzia

* Artwork
* Symbol

Pazuzu, known also as the Prince of the Four Winds, is a Demon Prince of the Abyss.

## Description

Old by even the standards of demonkind, it is a widely-held belief that the Demon Prince Pazuzu was present on the day that the Blood War first erupted into motion, and may have been responsible for casting the first stone - albeit not physically, but rather through his unexplained relationship with many Archdevils that treads towards the realms of amicability, defying all conventional logic and sense. Now the Blood War has started however, the Prince of the Four Winds pays it little mind, caring little even when it spills into his own domain, the First Layer of the Abyss.
Oleracea Bloom

Oleracea Bloom is a leafy shrub that grows mainly in coastal regions.

## Description

Also known as Wild Cabbage, Oleracea is a hardy plant with a high tolerance for salt and lime. A biennial plant, it only flowers once every two years, producing a thick tapered stem that can be over six feet tall. Although eaten across the continent, when steamed in a number of special reagents, it can be utilised for niche alchemical purposes.

## Usage

When steamed in lye and macerated into a slurry, Oleracea Blooms forms the foundation for creating Potions of Hill Giant Strength and their subsequent derivatives.
Marcel Dubois

Marcel Dubois is a human formerly affiliated with the Order of the Ardent Owl.

## Description

Marcel's interest in joining the Order of the Ardent Owl may seem outwardly selfish, given that before he pledges his blade to the Guild he has asked Roderick Reman to retrieve it from bandits based in the Greater Greensong. Nonetheless, Marcel's promise of his pledge to come seems forthright, as well as his intentions and beliefs.

## History

Son of an adventurer and Régysseur, Petrus Dubois, Marcel has attempted a number of avenues to step out of his father's limelight and make a name for himself. Whether clearing taverns of rat infestations and retrieving stranded felines from tower windows and trees. In a particular act of boldness, he signed on to act as protection for a trade caravan bound for Oxresh, ultimately falling foul of bandits that stole his father's blade, *Toil*.

According to Kelun, when confronted on the road, Marcel threw down his father's sword and shield, fleeing back the way he had come, although by Kelun's admission, the would-be knight was "greatly outnumbered".

After Toil was recovered, Marcel repeatedly petitioned for the return of the blade after it was claimed by the Paladin Ódóvir Jotunsson. Finding no success, Marcel departed Amber Run, having seemingly turned his back on the Order too.
