## **Aurum**

Built on top of the first grand treasure of gold found 300 years before the beginning of this campaign. Aurum is the largest and most influential city in all of Ome.

When the original Greeder's found the first grand treasure and three of the Greeders founded Aurum, they were greeted by Salem and their tether, the form of the tether is still unknown. They were each given a blessing and one was to become the ruler of Aurum. The person chosen to be the ruler of Aurum would have their blessing awakened however only those elected know what this blessing means.

The ruler of Aurum is elected from one of three families that are descended from one of three of the Greeders who were part if the team who found the first grand treasure. They are chosen from the sorcerer, cleric or fighter lines. The ruler at the beginning of the campaign is Pontas Alvero, descended from the fighter line and the 30th king of Aurum. However, after being poisoned, Pontas died and an election was held and Colm Alvero, grandson to Pontas, was elected and became the 31st king of Aurum.

## Pokarok

A town at the base of a mountain in the ranges Caseron. It is famous for their technologically advanced society and the Totara forge where a eefreti was trapped in the forge to allow them to work with white steel. It is said that long ago there was a dwarf named Svend, the forge father, who found the forge. He and some other dwarves mined into the mountain and awakened a sleeping efreeti named Totara who started to flood the mines with fire preventing them from mining anymore gems and minerals. Svend developed an armour that was able to withstand the fire and he ventured into the mines witch Totara was impressed with. Totara asked how he could get through and Svend said the efreeti's flames were too cold. Totara believed this was impossible so Svend challenged the efreeti saying if Totara was unable to melt through the armour, he would grant the dwarf a wish. Totara agreed and blasted Svend with blue fire and he was unscathed. Totara then used white flame, the hottest fire ever seen yet Svend was still left unharmed. Totara admitted defeat and asked what Svend's wish was and to that he wished for Totara and his flames to be trapped in the forge allowing the dwarves to work with metals they could not previously work with. Totara lived up the bargin and this is how Svend got his name of the Forge Father and Totara's white hot flames still burn within the mountain. Svend passed away after ruling Pokarok and was buried with his armour in the mountain.
