Setting

Overview

It has been ten years since the burning of Fenrik, one year since the fall of Mirandûr and six months since the orks of Helcêh have been let loose from the bowels of Mithraleen. Now, the lands south of Vettach have fallen under the dominion of the orks and their kin and trolls and beasts worse still march unchecked through the lands east and west of the Braggoldir.

But, despite this plague, despite the hardships, some of the many people of Eusiac have rallied under a common banner. The Imperial Senate, the Kingdoms of Esgaragoth, Ajjergoff, Fjerk and Bjorf, they have united to face a common threat. The dragons of Dal'Scatha, the dead returned, have joined this unusual alliance under the guidance of the Group, a band of adventurers, mages, warriors, thieves and peasants, the last true hope for the world.

Like all things on Eusiac, bar the most foul and evil things, the Group has been weakened. Death, betrayal, exhaustion. The Group has faltered. Only a handful of people remain, bonded only to fight, fighting only to survive, surviving only to see the evil destroyed. The Group has come to Palmu, drawn there by the promise of more recruits, of rest and relaxation, of peace and of adventure, for all things that come to Palmu find this, in equal number.

Your character is in Palmu, for whatever reason. You may have already been part of the Group, you may live there, or, just like the Group, you have been attracted to the city for some reason or another. You hear of this group of adventurers that is set up in Long Inn, of its aims and of the prize you seek, be that untold wealth, unstoppable power or a chance to see the world for what it was before the corruption of Helcêh tainted the lands. Before you join the Group on their journey, however, you can explore the city of Palmu in its entirety. You can visit every shop, speak to every person in the city, do quests and even buy your own house.

Palmu

Palmu is a city on the southern coast of Eusiac. It is the capital of the country of the same name. Unlike many places in Eusiac, it has remained untouched by Helcêh and his orks and the outlying lands have retained their natural beauty. Despite there being no orks, the city has been tainted to its core by something almost as foul as Helcêh himself; mortal greed, mortal avarice and mortal corruption. Poverty is rife within the city. Crime is commonplace. The poor starve while the rich fill themselves with expensive food and wine. The corrupt ruler, Supreme Senator Adrianus Segestius, has managed to stay on as governor long past his appointed time through a web of bribery and political ties.

The nobles, the select few, have enclosed themselves within the Old City and have left the people to rot within the Slums and the Middle District. The guards maintain a presence, but their duties are limited to throwing any wrongdoers into the jail cells or, worse, the asylum. Hundreds of people, misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, have been left to die within the asylum, never to see the outside world again.

On the outside, Palmu seems to be the greatest place to live. It is a trading capital. It is rich in wealth and in diplomatic ties. It has links to the capital of the Imperial Senate, Socra, to Dír and to the ports of the Elven Confederacy, such as Sangéth and Vír. The reality is that none of this is true. Although Palmu is in a bad state, this brings a lot of opportunity. Quests. There are many people in the city, thousands. Many need things done. Errands. Help. All kinds of jobs can be found, especially in the most lawless and deprived areas.

Guilds of Palmu

The Magical Order of Palmu –

Map reference: ai

The Magical Order of Palmu is a group of mages who formed a new guild following the dissolution of the Guild of Heneth. They have retained much of the ways of the old guild from an outside perspective, however, they enjoy greater freedoms now that they are no longer governed from Heneth or from another guild hall. They are embroiled in a battle with the secret witch coven that has infiltrated the city and are trying to destroy it.

The Guild of Warriors -

Map reference: aj

The Guild of Warriors is made up of fighters, adventurers, retired soldiers and ex-guards. It works closely with the poor of the city and tries to restore a degree of law and order to the city. They commonly receive and give out contracts about escorting traders, caravans and ships, guarding premises, recovering artefacts and stolen goods and uncovering the corruption of the thieves and assassins that inhabit the city. They are enemies of both the Den of the Quick of Hand and the assassins.

The Den of the Quick of Hand -

Map reference: ak

The Den of the Quick of Hand is an organisation of thieves and pickpockets that make a living through stealing from the upper and middle classes.

They are at war with the Guild of Warriors and try to criminalise them. They have contacts within the guard force.

The Coven of Serna -

Map reference: unknown (suspected to be at al)

It is hated and feared by the majority of the city, stirred up by propaganda from the Magical Order of Palmu. It is embroiled in a clandestine war with the order and seeks to destroy it.

The Assassins -

Map reference: unknown

Nameless. Shameless. The assassins of the city are a force to be reckoned with. They hide in the shadows and eliminate targets, regardless of wealth, respect or importance. They are not a solid, tangible organisation. They are a presence. An idea. A state of chaos. It is rumoured that if you want to join them, one simply has to express their want in public and the assassins will sent a representative to you.

Factions of the World




Factions of Eusiac

The Alliance of Lokve

Map colour: Dark green (Kingdoms of Fjorr), Red (Imperial Senate)

The Alliance of Lokve is a faction that represents the united peoples of the Kingdoms of Fjorr (Bjorf, Ajjergoff, Fjerk and Esgaragoth), the Imperial Senate and the Dragons of Dal'Scatha. They are united under a common aim: to see Helcêh defeated and his corruption brought to an end. They are prepared to bring war to the orkish legions of Helcêh to achieve this goal.

The Imperial Senate forms the backbone of this alliance. As a continuation of the Mithraleenean Empire, it wields much power. Although much reduced in size, the Imperial Senate has control over Socra, Palmu and parts of Kroyhatheff and Donton. It commands a few legions, militia troops and paramilitary armies. Its navy is one of the strongest in the world and ships like The Explorer and The Great Mariner are unmatched. The Imperial Senate is also an economic power and its lands are rich in natural resources as well as gold and silver reserves. It is ruled by High Chancellor Ramocca and the Imperial Senate of Socra.

The Kingdoms of Fjorr have unified out of necessity. In the past, they have warred with each other but the orks and goblins have brought them closer. Commanded by King Garion, they are a force to be reckoned with. They dominate the central north of Eusiac and have political influence over the state of Kroyhatheff. Like the Imperial Senate, they are a military and economic power, however, their navy is lacking in strength and numbers.

The Dragons of Dal'Scatha, led by the legendary Angadithrùl (formerly known as Angadiël), are a unique faction on Eusiac. Joining with the Imperial Senate and the Kingdoms of Fjorr so that they can defeat Helcêh and reclaim divinity, they add substantial military power to the already mighty alliance. All is not well amongst the dragons, however. Their faction has split into two groups. The bulk of the group has remained loyal to Angadithrùl, but, many, especially the older and more powerful dragons, have joined Kaaruthkái and Helcêh.

Mahíär

Map colour: Light pink

The Mahíär, known as Those Who Forgot to the Elven Confederacy, are a group of ael'nonùvah who refused to travel to Gil-Navarié to join their elven cousins. They are ardent believers of Thiëtism, an ancient religion that predates the Mithraleenean Empire by tens of thousands of years. They practice a simple, nomadic lifestyle and commonly move between places. It has no single ruler and is instead ruled by a group of leaders of the different tribes.

Although their religion practises peace, they view the orks as an unholy evil and wage war against them. Many Mahíär tribes, like the one under the command of Siöré commonly patrol around the Braggoldir and attack any orkish patrols. Using the ruvahequii as mounts, they are excellent horse-archers. On foot, they excel at hand-to-hand combat and their archers can hit enemies from a distance that would be impossible for most.

They are a reclusive faction and rarely communicate with the other kingdoms of Eusiac. They are ambivalent towards the Imperial Senate and dislike the Elven Confederacy. They have little opinion of the other factions as they have not had much interaction with them.

The Kroy

Map colour: Light green

The Kroy are a faction of hardeteels that inhabit the northern country of Kroyhatheff. They are similar in both cultural and history to the Kingdoms of Fjorr but years of war have driven a rift between them. They are worshippers of Lokanus and are very devout. Their capital is the city of Kroy, where the Kroy (the ruling council of the faction) meet.

Years of war have trained the soldiers of the Kroy into skilled veterans. Although small in number, their soldiers are very adept at hand-to-hand combat and are among the strongest infantry in Eusiac. They have also retained a degree of naval power and have some naval bases along the northern coast of Kroyhatheff. Their navy is weak compared to the likes of the Imperial Senate and Stjerkaj, but it is strong enough to protect its ships from pirates.

Although, in the past, they have fought with the Kingdoms of Fjorr, they have also united with them before against the Imperial Senate. Now that the Kingdoms of Fjorr have aligned themselves with the Imperial Senate, many people in the Kroy believe that they have been betrayed. They are angry at the Imperial Senate for conquering Hinnl, an important port, and for what they view as aggressive actions along the borders such as constructing forts. They are allied with Stjerkaj and have supplied soldiers to assist with their war with Dír

Dír

Map colour: Light orange

Dír is one of the two remaining nargdoc factions on Eusiac. It inhabits the southern parts of Nargd'Hcuthd and is the unification of dozens of tribes, which have been absorbed through violence and other means. Unlike Stjerkaj, it worships Lokve and believes in the Imperial Pantheon. The capital is at Dír. The leader of this faction is Queen Imrith the Fair. Despite having the title of queen, a lot of the power is held by elected officials who represent the citizens of Dír.

A few decades ago, Dír was a faction of considerable strength and influence. It was able to fight Stjerkaj on one front and the Imperial Senate on the other. Now, however, it has lost a large amount of land to Stjerkaj. Despite the reduction in size and power, its military is rightly feared. Whereas Stjerkaj favours tough, strong shocktroops supported by conventional infantry and horsemen, Dír favours lightly-armoured, lightly-armed but swift infantry that can set up ambushes and lead enemies into traps. While this tactic has claimed many victories for Dír, it has not allowed them to advance into enemy territory well, where Stjerkaj has the home advantage.

Dír has very little allies. It is politically weak. It has only survived thus so far by proxy assistance from the Imperial Senate, who fear that if Stjerkaj conquer all of Nargd'Hcuthd they will be unstoppable. They are enemies to Stjerkaj and, as a result, the Kroy.

Stjerkaj

Map colour: Dark orange

Stjerkaj is the second of the two nargdoc factions on Eusiac. It is found in the north and central parts of Nargd'Hcuthd. It also has a colony in Arctictas. Stjerkaj has stayed true to the nargdoc gods of old. Lokve is worshipped as an honorary god, but is not considered equal to the traditional gods. It is ruled by Hjùrm the Once-Elven, an eighty year-old king who has retained a youthful appearance due to his elven blood. Hjùrm reigns as the absolute leader of his kingdom and his loyal soldiers enforce his laws. He and his ruling council have banned magic and kill witches and mages alike. He is rumoured, however, to practise magic himself.

Akin to their Kroyhatheffian allies, Stjerkaj soldiers rely on strong infantry to break the enemy army. Unlike the soldiers of the Kroy, however, they are supported by weaker infantry and horsemen. They are the second most powerful naval kingdom on Eusiac, beaten only by the Imperial Senate. Of all kingdoms, Stjerkaj is the largest and dominates most of Nargd'Hcuthd.

Stjerkaj has been at war with Dír for centuries. Initially, Dír had crushed Stjerkaj and forced the ruling family to seek refuge in the Kroy, however, they returned with a vengeance and retook the capital of Stjerkaj. Their recovery was so swift that they turned the tide of the war to their favour. Their allegiance with the Kroy is due to the Kroy assisting them in the war with Dír. They see the Imperial Senate as a threat and are angered by the fact that it has been assisting Dír.

Clan Tiberius

Map colour: Dark blue

Clan Tiberius is one of the three clans of Mithraleeth. It has always been a military power and was the home to many knightly orders. Even after the disaster, Clan Tiberius is still powerful and is the largest of the clans. It has influence over Clan Braeburn and the ruler of Clan Braeburn is essentially a Tiberius puppet. The leader of Clan Tiberius is Warlord Jular. He is a very strong, very tactical ruler and has managed to strengthen his kingdom. They are loyal to the religion of the old Mithraleenean Empire.

Clan Tiberius has a varied and strong military. They have good archers, good infantry and good horsemen, as well as very skilled knights, such as the Timorium Knights. Although few in number, these knights can change the course of battle by their presence. Their armies are also commanded by strong generals who are elected on merit instead of on family ties.

They are enemies of Clan Vettach and have a rivalry that stretches back several thousands of years before the formation of the Mithraleenean Empire. Clan Braeburn is unofficially a client kingdom of Clan Tiberius, although it is not made to be so in public.

Clan Braeburn

Map colour: Purple

Clan Braeburn is the second of the three Mithraleenean Clans. Of the clans, it is the weakest, in both military and political influence. Its army is barely capable of fighting the bandits that plague the clan's countryside and it is unable to wage a war. It is ruled by Brae Mjuralla Breída, who, despite his best intention, has been forced to swear allegiance to Warlord Jular.

Clan Braeburn's army is little more than guards and mercenaries. The Brae almost took his nation into bankruptcy by bribing many bandits to become soldiers. Clan Braeburn has also witnessed ork attacks coming from the west, since the Braggoldir became active. Without the assistance granted to it by Clan Tiberius due to its status as a client kingdom, the clan would have fallen years ago.

Clan Braeburn is neutral towards Clan Vettach and does not have an opinion of the other factions, being to immersed in its own politics and stability. Its only ally is Clan Tiberius and it is more like a client kingdom to Clan Tiberius than a friend.

Clan Vettach

Map colour: Light blue

Clan Vettach is the third of the three Mithraleenean Clans. Though surrounded by Clan Tiberius, it is strong and manages to hold out against its enemy. This is due to its strong leadership under the rule of Vettachius Gramochel Vettal, a twenty-three year old king. Through political guile, he has managed to stop the Tiberius advance into his lands. The capital is Vettach, which is on the shores of Loch Vettach.

Although it doesn't command the standing or power that the army of Clan Tiberius does, Clan Vettach's army is a force to be reckoned with. Unlike Clan Tiberius, it uses a mixture of light and heavy horsemen, making it good against knights and infantry alike. Its own infantry is mediocre, however, its real power lies in its navy. Clan Vettach has the fourth best navy on Eusiac and is the most powerful naval force of the clans. It has won many naval battles against Clan Tiberius and controls both Loch Vettach and Lake Tiberius.

Clan Vettach has been involved in a long war with Clan Tiberius. It has no allies and remains neutral towards all other factions of Eusiac. Its ruler is currently trying to find a diplomatic resolution to the war with Clan Tiberius so that they can deal with the orkish threat.

The Dwarven Kingdoms

Map colour: Brown

Reclusive, isolationist states, united only in racial and cultural similarity, most of the Dwarven Kingdoms have not been active for one-hundred and eighty-two years and Khâzadûru has not been heard from since the disaster two-hundred and fifty-eight years ago. Despite this, there are rumours that the khârg of these mountain kingdoms are marshalling for war and will march one last time with the rest of the races of Eusiac against Helcêh. It is unknown who is in charge of the khârg of Khâ, Khâmol-Sûltra, Khâmol-Astrû and Khâzadûru or if some of these kingdoms even remain.

Despite being unknown to the world, the military of the khârg is legendary. Although small is stature, the khârg are brave, strong and resilient warriors, with a natural resistance to magic and a small immunity to pain. Their leaders are strategical geniuses and have a commanding presence. Despite this, their axe throwers, although powerful, have a short range compared to archers and the khârg have little cavalry in their ranks. It is rumoured, however, that before the disaster, the khârg of Khâzadûru discovered gunpowder and made a destructive weapon, akin to a catapult but able to fire lead balls a further range.

The khârg are a naturally warrior-like race. In the past, they have warred with each other and with the other races of Eusiac, however, above all else, they hate the mequë and all other spawn of Helcêh.

The Elven Confederacy

Map colour: Pink

The Elven Confederacy, known as vo Uniteriä iyu Valëo to the ael'ùvah, Líré Vælén Æniterié to the menagi and vedas Únistarí inisá Valsero to the Essence Elves, is nation consisting of Gil-Navarié, the Havessé Islands and the rest of the Elven Isles. It is the last home of the elves and the ael'ùvah, the menagi, the ael'nonùvah, the remaining Essence Elves and the remaining X'azzeeri live here. They are ruled by Paramount King Almdír and the Council of the Meras (the Morassi Council – liré Morassi - to the menagi).

As the representation of a large variety of races, the Elven Confederacy's military is likewise varied. It has a selection of good quality infantry, horsemen and mages. As Gil-Navarié was once a naval power, the Elven Confederacy has retained some degree of maritime skill. Although small in number, the navy's ships are among the best in the world, only beaten in power by ships such as The Great Mariner, the flagship of the Imperial Senate.

The Elven Confederacy have no allies or enemies. Many dislike them purely because the ael'ùvah once had a reputation for being arrogant and elven supremacist. For the most part, the ael'ùvah of this alliance are extremely different from the ael'ùvah of old and readily welcome ael'nonùvah and menagi into their society. There still exists some fringe groups that wish to place the ael'ùvah as the ruling race of the Elven Confederacy, however, the king and his council have stated that all races are equal and deserving of respect.

The Kingdom of Albion

Map colour: Yellow

A newly-forged kingdom, an alliance of towns and villages in southern and central Miraleen, the Kingdom of Albion is based at the capital of Albion, a town built on the ruins on the ancient city of Albion (Mira: Albíorrach). The fledging kingdom is led by King Keídù the Brave (Kaíld Keídù faíc Bréich).

Barely a month old, the Kingdom of Albion has not had a chance to prove itself militarily, however, its soldiers are strong in both valour and arms. They are skilled in guerilla warfare and archery. They rely on light cavalry to scout of enemy positions and lure the enemy into traps. Their soldiers are skilled enough to have held their borders against the Orks of the Braggoldir. The Kingdom of Albion has no standing navy. Its only ships are re-fitted fishing boats and some canoes. Along the shores of Miraleen, some galleys are under construction.

The kingdom owes its foundation to the Group, who freed its founding villages from the orks and pushed the taint from central Miraleen. As a result, it will ally itself with whomever the Group considers a friend. It has not been approached by the Imperial Senate, yet, however, when the Imperial Senate does offer an alliance, the Kingdom of Albion is sure to accept the proposal with open arms.

Factions of Evil

The Orks of the Braggoldir

Map colour: Grey (beside the Kingdom of Albion)

The Orks of the Braggoldir are a variety of orks based at the fortress in the Braggoldir, an area of Miraleen still tainted by Helcêh. These orks are commanded by three spectres who are dressed in jewels and crowns. They are well-spoken and masters of manipulation. The Orks of the Braggoldir are weaker than other varieties of orks. They are more akin to the Orks of Norkel (based in Mithraleen) than to the Mequë of the North. The Orks of the Braggoldir are more like humans than any other variety of ork and have more human emotion.

The Orks of the Braggoldir are fighting a two-front war with the recently-founded Kingdom of Albion and the Mahíär under the command of Siöré As a result, they have been able to send their troops to Mithraleen to join the other orks rallying to Helcêh's calls.

The Mequë of the North

Map colour: Brown (beside the Kingdoms of Fjorr)

The Mequë of the North are the original breed of Norkel's orks. Because of this, they are harsher, uglier and stronger than most other orks. Many of them are old enough to have fought the Valiö in the original war between Norkel and Lokve. It is rumoured that they are ruled by the powerful and ancient Shischelkë, giant dæmons that serve Norkel willingly. They are masters of both conventional and guerilla warfare. They are based in many castles and fortresses in both Miraleeth, Miraleen and western Fjorr. They were the orks that attacked and destroyed Esgaragoth.

They are currently building up their armies to help in the final stages of the war. They have not committed to any major assaults since conquering Esgaragoth and mostly spy on the Kingdoms of Fjorr. Many legions of orks have been sent south to Mithraleen, following Helcêh's demands for troops.

The Trolls of Mithraleeth

Map colour: Dark grey (near Loch Mordach)

The Trolls of Mithraleeth are a collection of troll tribes allied to Norkel. In the early years after the disaster, in Mordach, trolls were hunted down and slain in great numbers. When Helcêh attacked Mordach, he pledged the land to the trolls, if they agreed to join him. The majority of the Viddish trolls were horrified by this and were kicked out by the Vannish and Vinnish trolls, who were happy to help Norkel. The trolls have already begun to attack the clans of Mithraleeth, under the command of Helcêh.

As stated earlier, the Trolls of Mithraleeth are harassing the borders of the clans of Mithraleeth. They have not made any serious advances into the clan's territories, however, the clans are wary of them, especially Clan Braeburn. The Trolls of Mithraleeth are looked down upon by the other servants of Norkel, especially the Orks of the Braggoldir, who wish to gain more favour with Helcêh.

The Witches of Eíldor

Map colour: Dark red

Corrupted by Norkel, the Witches of Eíldor serve him willingly, thinking that he is Alitura. They are led by several coven leaders and are united in their faith in Alitura. They excel in magic. Many of them are descendants of Alitura and her offspring. The main coven within this group is the Coven of Mortock, based off of the ancient Mortock Witch Clan. They are composed of a mixture of races but are mostly human.

Part of an army of orks, trolls and goblins, the Witches of Eíldor stand out from their peers, being human and elven in nature. They are feared, even amongst the orks. They are fighting a war of attrition with the clans of Mithraleeth, until Norkel (or Alitura, as he has made them believe him to be) gives the order for them to begin their final assault.

The Orks of Norkel

Map colour: Light grey (in Mithraleen)

The Orks of Norkel are the most common group of ork. They inhabit Mithraleen and answer directly to Helcêh. They are stronger than the Orks of Braggoldir but weaker and younger than the Mequë of the North. Their ranks are bolstered with goblins and trolls, unlike the other orkish groups. Like other orks, they excel in both ambush and direct combat. The Orks of Norkel field mounted troops and spearmen, along with the more common infantry, unlike the other orkish tribes.

Of all orkish tribes, the Orks of Norkel are the most active. They were responsible for conquering Clan Mordach and commonly attack settlements. Ever since the Slave Revolt of the Orks, they have been reluctant to use slaves, however, it is rumoured that thousands still toil in mines and in farms to help the orkish war effort. Of all the ork groups, the Orks of Norkel pose the biggest threat to the factions of Eusiac. They have marshalled their forces in Mithraleen, in preparation for Helcêh's final stage in taking control of the world.

Rartjuum's Orks

Map colour: None

Unlike the other orks, Rartjuum's Orks have no permanent territories. They are constantly moving in their task to hunt down the Group. They are composed of orks, goblins and trolls from all backgrounds and tribes. They are lead by the great, fearless general Rartjuum, who is Helcêh's right-hand man. They are feared throughout the world and rightly-so as they have been responsible for the destruction of many towns and villages. Rartjuum himself is feared throughout the world and he uses torture and rape to get what he wants.

As the right-hand man of Norkel, Rartjuum is allowed to use any resources necessary to fulfil his aims. He has jurisdiction over all orks and can command the Orks of the Braggoldir and the Mequë of the North if he wishes. Because of this, Rartjuum is unpopular among the Orks of the Braggoldir and the Mequë of the North.

The State of the World

The world is in turmoil. Since the disaster that heralded the collapse of the Mithraleenean Empire and caused Eusiac to become separate from Cerceres, the world has been weak and fragmented into different, warring factions. Only in recent years, out of necessity, have alliances been formed. The Alliance of Lokve is the largest alliance of its kind and is expected to grow larger as the Group travel to different factions to request aid.

Current Wars

The War of Nargd'Hcuthd

The War of Nargd'Hcuthd has been raging for decades. It is seen as a war between the socially-progressive and less tyrannical nation of Dír and the power-hungry Stjerkaj, though the causes are much more complex and underlying than this. The war has taken a dip in activity and there have been no major assaults or movement of troops in the past year. The war has seen events such as the Kidnapping of Queen Imrith the Fair and the Battle of Loígh Dréich. Dír has received economical and political support from the Imperial Senate. Stjerkaj is supported militarily by the Kroy. The war is something of a worry for the Imperial Senate. If Stjerkaj wins then they will be able to attack the Imperial Senate directly.

The War of the Clans

Like the War of Nargd'Hcuthd, the War of the Clans has been raging for a long time. It has seen the deaths, births and resignations of many kings and generals. Unlike the War of Nargd'Hcuthd, it is not seen as important by the rest of the world. Many think that if Clan Tiberius is allowed to win the war, they will be able to stand strong against the orks. Currently, there is a ceasefire between Clan Tiberius and Clan Vettach while the war is resolved through diplomacy.

The Disaster

The disaster was a cataclysmic event that happened two-hundred and fifty-eight years ago. It was a giant shockwave of fire that centred around Crusada. The fire scorched the lands in Mithraleen and as far away as Mithraleeth, Miraleen and Donton. The event coincided with the Eruption of Mt. Fíroíc (Menol Firos) and the Earthquake of Vitae. At the same time, Afrik and other continents of Cerceres suddenly disappeared from the world, leaving only expatriate barabs, Essence Elves and X'azzeeri.

The death toll of the disaster (and its consequent disasters) was in the millions. The entire population of Mithraleen was wiped out in seconds. Although shielded by the Khâzak Mountains, southern Mithraleeth was devastated. People living in the far south of the country were killed along with the people of Mithraleen. Crops in Mordach were poisoned by the ash and there was a famine in Strabo and Broumar. These three clans later fell to the less affected clans or were attacked by orks. Donton was devastated by the disaster and by earthquakes. The city of Vitae was destroyed and the majority of its population killed. The country was largely abandoned. Miraleen had its southern parts reduced to ash. The central portions were flooded with lava and the north was overrun by the mequë coming from Miraleeth. With the capital and a significant part of its territories destroyed, the Mithraleenean Empire was weak. Provinces seceded and generals turned rogue. Gil-Navarié cut off all ties from the empire. There was a period of two months when it was leaderless. A council of nobles desperately attempted to discovered a successor. Emperor Jerren Cahil was named as the leader of the ailing empire and was only distantly related to the previous ruler. His line lasted until fifty-eight years after the disaster. With the death of his grandson, Emperor Janus Cahil, the Mithraleenean Empire was declared dissolved and became the Imperial Senate.

It is rumoured by some that the disaster was caused by Helcêh's exiting from the Void and that when the fireball happened, Helcêh took control of the world. Others say that the disaster was actually Lokve's last resort to destroy an evil army from the very pits of the Void was sitting in Crusada, ready to be unleashed on the world. Whatever it was, it was responsible for the destruction of the empire, the deaths of millions and, perhaps, indirectly, the end of the world.

Races



Mannish Races

Hardeteels

The hardeteels are a race of men that inhabit Fjorr, Kroyhatheff, Mithraleeth and the Heartlands and have large populations in other countries. They are very strong and powerfully-built. They are one of the oldest races. They are tough and hardy, able to cope with extreme conditions. They can be very aggressive. They are known as noreranus by the ael'ùvah and nûredhanù by the ael'nonùvah. They both mean North-native. They call themselves hárdetedhl, from which the word hardeteel is derived.

The hardeteels were largely unaffected by the disaster. Most of their population was located in lands not damaged by the disaster, however, hardeteel immigrants to countries such as Miraleen, Mithraleen and Donton were killed in great number when the disaster struck. The hardeteels were among the first to secede from the Mithraleenean Empire and stabilised their own realms. Most hardeteels are members of the Kingdoms of Fjorr, the clans of Mithraleen or the Kroy, however, many have moved to other places such as the city of Palmu.

Erius

The erius are a validor race, native to Mithraleen. Due to the Mithraleenean Empire, the race has become one of the most advanced in Cerceres. They can be found almost anywhere on Eusiac as a result of their considerable power on the world stage. They can be found holding administrative posts in many kingdoms. Their name is derived from what ael'ùvahian settlers called them when they first met the early erius, iberanus iyu cerum ucognital. In ael'ùvahian, this means natives of this unexplored land, however, in everyday usage, the ael'ùvah know them as the iberius. By the Essence Elves, they are called the hesálth-hûr, central man. The hardeteels know them as éirus. The nargds call them úeirus, which is derived from the hardeteelean name.

The erius were badly affected by the disaster. The countries of the erius, Miraleen, Mithraleen and Donton, were the places where the disaster struck. Millions died from the disaster and many more died from the wars and famine caused by the disaster. Despite these huge losses, the erius still managed to remain strong due to significant populations of the race located in other countries. Many moved to Palmu and Socra before the disaster and remained fine.

Barabs

The barabs are a dark-skinned race of men that inhabit the arid deserts of Afrik. They are a formidable race, though they can be quite small. Like all Mannish races, they can be fierce and aggressive. It is unknown how they evolved from the valiö but they are a validor race. They are called norkù-hiärés by the ael'ùvah, black people. They call themselves nhā-h'ārs, which also means black people. By the canids, they are known as en'oor-res, betrayers of Trust.

At the same time as the disaster, Afrik, the continent of the barabs, was mystically undone from the universe. No trace of its existence remained, except in those who remembered it. The only barabs left are the ones who moved to Eusiac before the disaster. For unknown reasons, these remaining barabs can only be killed through disease or injury. Many rumour that it is linked to the disaster.

Nargds

The nargds are a race of men who inhabit north-eastern Eusiac. They are a warrior-like race and have a bloody history. They are divided along tribal lines. They make fierce warriors and are known for their bravery and strength. Despite their apparent savage nature, they are very cultured and many of them love fine arts and music. By the ael'ùvah, they are called calcheciän, a corrupted form of Kalkechián, a tribe of the nargds. They are called vaghmin, vermin, by the ugluh. By the ael'nonùvah, they are known as dhést-hár, eastern man.

Of all races, the nargds were the least affected by the disaster. With very few immigrants to other countries, the nargds retained much of their population. Their ability to breed faster than most other races also allowed them to strengthen themselves and recover those lost during the wars between the tribes. Nargds remain a powerful force on Eusiac and belong to the two kingdoms of Dir and Stjerkaj. Some also make up the Kroy.

Naídr-s-Dryd

The Giant Men are a strand of erius, who they call naídr-s-crysada, that inhabit the Drooding region of Mithraleen. In antiquity, they ruled the region of Dryd, however, they were enslaved by the Mithraleenean Empire in its early history. By the ael'ùvah, they are called thùinyar, by the ael'nonùvah they are called chéided​hanú, strongmen. They call themselves naídr-s-dryd, natives of Drood.

Of all races, the naídr-s-dryd were perhaps the most affected by the disaster. Like the erius, they originated from Mithraleen, however, unlike the erius, they did not have any large population outside of Mithraleen. When the disaster wiped out Mithraleen, the naídr-s-dryd lost over ninety percent of their population. Most of the remaining population were wiped out by war or famine. Very few remain. Those that remain are to be found inside the lands of the Imperial Senate.

Valëo (Elven Races)

Ael'ùvah

The ael'ùvah ael'ùvah are elves native to Gil-Navarié and the other islands of the Elven Isles. They were one of the first races to evolve from the Valiö. They are called the ùdesi by the ael'nonùvah, the ùpatiir by the Essence Elves and Mystic Elves by the Erius. The singular form of ael'ùvah is al'ùvah, which means I am blessed in their native tongue, ael'ùvahian. They were once called aelutur'ùvah by themselves in their early history. They are one of the validor races on Cerceres.

The ael'ùvah could be said to have prospered from the disaster. When the disaster happened, the ael'ùvah broke off from the Mithraleenean Empire and united with the menagi to form the Elven Confederacy. They decreed it a place for all elves, be they ael'nonùvah or ugluh, where they could be safe. Many answered their calls and ugluh, ael'nonùvah and the remaining X'azzeeri and Essence Elves came to the Elven Isles in their droves.

Ael'nonùvah

The ael'nonùvah are a race of elves that are native to Eusiac. They are split into two cultures. One culture is a group of loosely-allied nomadic tribes that are continually on the move while the other has permanent settlements in Mithraleen. They are called Forest Elves by those in the Mithraleenean Empire and hárshés [pronounced: YAR-CHAYZZ] by the Essence Elves, which means ranger or archer. They are also called fatiir by the Essence Elves, which means brother. The nomads of this race call themselves nóhodál, homeless. The other group call themselves énos én Lokve, which means one in Lokve.

The ael'nonùvah were both devastated and unharmed by the disaster. The ael'nonùvah living in Mithraleen were wiped out by the disaster, however, the ael'nonùvah were unaffected by it. When the call for all elves to go to the Elven Confederacy was made, most of the ael'nonùvah answered their call. Those that did not became the Mahíär.

Menagi

The menagi are an elven race that hail from the Havessé Islands and Sortír. Their ancestral homeland is Aman-Haver. They were originally the offspring of a union between ael'ùvah and ael'nonùvah but soon became their own race due to Boriémeg's involvement in their race. In many ways, they are more similar to the Mannish races than elven races. Despite this, they have the signature pointed elven ears. Menagi is the erius translation of the name mænagi, which is what the menagi call themselves. It is derived from ael'ùvahian marenag, meaning shame. Some ael'ùvah, especially those in Gil-Navarié, also call them marenagathù, great shame. To the hardeteels, they are known as meánaghi, to the nargds they are known as ménáhiá, méanáhir or máenáhir. In Mira, they are known as miégnag. All of these terms are derived from the erius word. The ael'nonùvah know them as chidhrén, meaning children. Due to the promiscious nature of the menagi, many languages have words derived from menagi to relate to matters of a sexual nature. In the Sepilonæa language, the word for nymphomania is menagikoæsimaniæ. This is repeated across many languages.

Like the ael'ùvah, the menagi thrived in the disaster. Forming the Elven Confederacy with the ael'ùvah, the menagi co-operated with their once fierce enemies. Due to this alliance, the menagi have now become accepted within ael'ùvahian society and vice versa. Some ael'ùvah even call them aelu marenag, our shame. This is not an insult. It, in fact, refers to the ael'ùvah's shame at themselves for their harsh treatment of the menagi in the past.

Ugluh

The ugluh are an elven race that inhabit the northern parts of Eusiac. They are most commonly found in Arctictas and Agluh Hghdal. They are an isolationist race and commonly cut themselves off from the rest of the world. They despise the khârg and the nargds and both races return this emotion.

By the ael'ùvah, they are called anlibrù, equals. By the nargds, they are known as inkelkédhaiht, slavers. The erius know them as ugluh, which comes from the ugluhian name for themselves, ugluhre, meaning oneness in Lokve.

The ugluh were only indirectly affected by the disaster. The political instability caused by the loss of the Mithraleenean Empire shocked Arctictas and it was overrun by crime. When the call for all elves to head to the Elven Confederacy came, many answered this call. In Agluh Hghdal, most did likewise, but many chose to stay. They later fell to orks under the command of Rartjuum.

Essence Elves

The Essence Elves are an elven race that inhabit the Faka'r Islands. They are the most biologically similar race to the Valiö and, due to their isolation from Eusiac, they have remained most true to the Valiö. They are called Essence Elves by the erius and actually prefer it over their own name for themselves, Hátéödiäpatiir. By the ael'ùvah, they are known as emùré and are called dhùsá by the ael'nonùvah (copiers and friends respectively). They are known as xhexteopaxt by the X'azzeeri.

The Essence Elves were damaged terribly by the disaster. Like Afrik, the Faka'r Islands were ripped from the world, along with those living on it. The only Essence Elves alive are those that lived on Eusiac before the disaster or were born after it. Like the barabs, they can only be killed by injury or illness. Most Essence Elves live with the Elven Confederacy.

X'azzeeri

The x'azzeeri are an elven race. They are extremely different from their fellow elves as they are large and bulky. They are very-dark skinned. They have developed to cope with the harsh landscape and environment of X'zazaz as well as the surrounding lands. By the erius, they are called Volcanic Elves. They are known as incínd-hiárés by the ael'ùvah, fire people. By the ael'nonùvah, they are known as incándó-edhanù, fire people, similar to the ael'ùvahian name.

The x'azzeeri were damaged terribly by the disaster. Like the Faka'r Islands, X'zazaz was ripped from the world, along with those living on it. The only x'azzeeri alive are those that lived on Eusiac before the disaster or were born after it. Like the barabs, they can only be killed by injury or illness. Most x'azzeeri live with the Elven Confederacy.

Cthori Races

Khârg

The khârg are a short, rotund race that commonly inhabit underground cities built into mountains. Unlike the majority of other races, the khârg belong to the Cthori races, a group of races made by the god Cthor. Most of the other races evolved from the valiö, who were made by Lokve. They are an ancient race, older than even the valiö. They are renowned for their expert skills in smithing. By the ael'ùvah, they are known as the vos dimùné, the dimunitive. They are called keros by the ael'nonùvah. The hardeteels call them khergem, from which the word khârg is derived.

The khârg were unaffected by the disaster. It is unknown, however, what happened to Khâzadûru when the disaster struck. Some theorise that the mountains protected them. Others say that they shared the same fate as the rest of Mithraleen. The other khârg quickly fell into war. Khâ and Khâmol-Sûltra declared war on each other and many were slain on both sides. Both cities were besieged by each other at least once but were beaten by the defenders every time. They eventually retreated to their caves and locked themselves inside. It is unknown what happened to them in the years since, but many rumour that they are preparing for war. Many khârg have been seen outside the cities, feeding these rumours.

Mechanics

Combat

There are no dice rolls, except against certain enemies. Your class, your weapons and your armour will affect how well you do against your enemies. For example, a mage wielding a sword will be weaker against a goblin than a warrior would be. The type of enemy also affects how well certain attacks work. Orks are fearful of fire and fire spells work greater against them than a wind spell does. However, if you are attacking an ork using said fire spell and it is raining, the spell will be weakened by the presence of rain.

Rules

1. As the DM, I say what goes in the RP. If you feel my decision is wrong, you are free to PM me.
2. Please use good grammar, or, at the very least, understandable grammar. This helps the flow of the RP and means that people can easier understand the content of your posts.
3. Try to keep the names of your character appropriate to the race. For example, no elves called “John” or humans called “Rrechír” unless there is a good reason for it. A reason could be that your character was raised by elves or by humans. If you have trouble thinking about would be appropriate, feel free to PM me. That goes for anything. If you have a question about the world, you can PM me whenever.
4. Have fun!

Magic

Magic is an ancient and very powerful force. However, years of neglect and misuse has caused it to be forgotten or shunned. Very few mages exist in the world and most of them are hermits, living a reclusive life, shielded from the rest of society.

Once, magic used to be accessible and available to most people but now it is rare. Only a select few people can use it. Spells are no longer the simple words or phrases they used to be. They are now long sentences, written in a language that not many can understand. Spells have their own weaknesses and strengths, however the magnitude and power of a spell is also decided by how much of the incantation is known. For the spells to continue to function, the incantation must be chanted for the duration. If it is interrupted, the spell will falter. The rest of the incantation can be learned through ancient books and tomes or through word of mouth.

Basic spells cost one spell point, Intermediate spells cost two spell points and Advanced spells cost three spell points. The amount of spell points your character has depends on your character's class. For example, mages start with three spell points while warriors are only allowed one.

Witchery

Name: Melisande Koltrast
Age: 35
Race: Hardeteel
Gender: Female
Class: Witch [mage]
Spells:
Al'ommasta el lokviusathù tiär elencévasta entacé et cérés [int water]
Regardathù iyu mequë [basic manipulation]
Weapons and Armour: She normally dons upper class clothing; she has a dagger as well. She wears a witch's robe once a full moon, though . . .
History: Melisande has lived a rather charmed life, if you will. She was born into a relatively wealthy, noble family. . . they live in the Old City, enclosed with the other nobles, enjoying their petty squabbles among one another while the poor rot and the average beg. Her mother is Sorcha, a woman of eight and sixty who has lived a rather full life. She was married to another noble, a man named Jon Pengar, who died thirty years ago. When he died, Sorcha changed the household name back to her birthname, Koltrast. The two lived together, alone, Sorcha remaining a widow and secretly training Melisande in the ways of witch magic -- the ancient art of the priests and priestesses of Alitura, the warlocks and the witches -- and they are both members of the elusive Coven of Serna. Fifteen years ago, Sorcha told Melisande that she predicted that Melisande would soon be with child. Sure enough, after courting a young member of the faith of Lokve, she found this to be true. She told her mother of this and Sorcha was pleased. She said that with her wind magic, Melisande's water magic, and the child's fire magic (for, certainly, if Alitura owned wind and water and land, Lokve was the patron of fire, and a priest would give her a daughter of flame) they would be the crone, the mother and the maiden, powerful figures in the coven. This has yet to prove true, as they are still not at the top of the coven, but Malvina is an extremely pretty fourteen year old now; fiery red hair, her grandmother's green eyes, and an aptitude for fire magic. Currently the witch bides her time and tries to grab power in their coven and among the other nobles -- the two sides of her life, night and day.
Appearance: Her eyes are a striking blue, her skin milk white and freckled, and her hair is long, flowing and a natural red. She's curvy and quite beautiful, with full lips and high cheekbones and an elegance about her. Though, despite her overall comeliness, her nose is crooked -- it has been broken once before; her ears are a bit too large and her chin a bit too pointed.
Personality: She's cold and cruel, devoted to power within the Coven and willing to step on the toes of others to get there. She isn't completely bad, though, as she's devoted to her goddess, her mother and her daughter -- though with all of them, she is temperamental and finicky, able to switch from pleased to upset at a moment's notice. Melisande is detail-oriented and analytic, and makes a habit of picking apart things that she sees as wrong or inadequate.

Faced with starvation she got in with some bad people and did bad things. She was happy doing these things until she got greedy and embezzled several thousand napleans from them. She got caught and was kicked out of the group but not until after she was cut across the face to warn others that she was a treacherous thieving [&@%!].
She then got in with some good people and has been travelling Eusiac and combating evil with them. The only productive thing she has really done was save the whole group from certain death by bandits. It was soon after that that she and her current girlfriend Lasséor confessed their feeling for each other and since then have spent a large majority of their time [&@%!] like rabbits.
Appearance: Alva has long white-blonde hair that stretched the whole way down her back and ended just above her waist and piercing blue eyes that seemed to stare into the soul. She was of an athletic build, her lithe, supple body allowing her to move quickly and gracefully. She was also said to have been quite short barely reaching a height of 5ft 4inches.
The most defining feature about her was a long scar that ran down her left cheek, starting to the left of her eye and reaching down just above her lip. This scar had been given to her at the age of nineteen by the Arag's Blight and was administrated in such a way that no amount of magic was able to heal it.
Personality: Alva is distrustful to most of her own race and even more so to those outside it, She only speaks when she feels it necessary and is normally cold towards most men, preferring to be in the company of other woman. Once she has an impression of the way someone is, she finds it very hard to let go of it. She hates Elves.

Gender: Male

Weapons and Armour: A strange looking longsword that is made from a black material. Armour that covers all skin and is jagged at the elbows allowing them to be used as a weapon. The armour is as strong as steel but light as leather and is so black it seems to suck in the light from around it. He also has a shield that is made from the same material. All of this was picked up in foreign lands from his many years of travel. This armour was found to be cursed and evil, and for a brief period actually controlled Markus. However that armour was destroyed by Meera and the Sword destroyed by Markus. Markus now has bare minimum.
History: Formerly a happy man, well loved and happily married. He and his wife were so in love that they wanted to spend an eternity together. Markus sought out a powerful witch that granted his wish- but it was trick. Yes it granted him immortality, but it made him thirst for bloodshed and he could only be slain in battle. His Wife hated what he had become so much that she took her own life. Enraged, Markus slew his entire village before trying to take his own life, which he could not do as he could only be slain by an oppenent. He returned to where the witch was to find her gone- he has spent the last ninety years hunting her down. During this time he has honed his skill in combat, further decreasing his chance of ever finally dieing.

Race:Essence Elf
Gender:Female
Class:Ranger
Spells:None but she will learn some over the course of the roleplay
Weapons and Armour:2 Elven swords which bare many scratches. She has a dark green cloak that has seen better days and looks very beaten up.

One has a few feathers attached to it whilst the other has some fur and leaves attached to it. An elven bow and a leather quiver. She has a small elven dagger but she has never used it.

History:Navariese was born into a small group of rangers that roamed the land and protected the innocent from those who seeked to do harm to them. There was only 20 of them. A mixture of humans and elves. As a result, she has known battle from a young age. The humans often get replaced by more human. Her parents were killed in a bandit raid when she was only 10 which led to her being very cold and eager to protect the innocent. She studied the art of dual wielding and her speed with 2 blades is deadly. She has seen many of her fellow rangers get killed in battle or die of natural causes. She travel all over the country and earned a small reputation amongst small communities. She has fended off many attacks on villages and has some scars as a result. Her group often encountered orcs and often, they would defeat them. But her group was ambushed one day. They were outnumbered by orcs but fought to the death. Only she survived the battle, barely. She had recieved a wound to her stomach and managed to walk to the nearest settlement before passing out. When she woke up, 2 humans asked her who she was and what happened to her. She didn't answer them and was in a state of shock. They nursed her back to health and to show her gratitude, she vowed to protect the village. She ended up protecting the village for 10 years before moving on and dedicated the rest of her long life to protecting the land. She became known as the Lone Elven Ranger. Bandits feared her arrows. Orcs tasted her blades. She survived by living off the land. She will defend the innocent untill her very last breath.

Appearance: She bares 4 scars on her face. Two scars form an X on the middle of her face due to a ork slashing her twice before she killed it. 1 scar on her right eye. It's was caused by a sword so it's a typical scar caused by a sword but in a upwards motion. It starts from her right upper cheek and ends above her right eye, near her nose. The final scar is on her left hand and is across the palm. She has blonde hair and brown eyes. She is beautiful but shows signs of battles(mainly the scars). Despite her lifestyle, she actually looks like she is 200 years old or 20 in human years. Her hair is a short ponytail. Her ears are medium sized. she has thin chin and her face is not very wide. Her nose is small and thin. Her eyebrows are very thin but that is by her nature. She hasn't don't anything to them. She 7ft and a bit on the slim side but her appearance is decieving as she is strong. She can yank the swords out of weak enemies and pack a punch. She is fairly tan.
Personality:She comes accross as very cold to most people but it's due to her upbringing and being cold to people who she doesn't know is her only way of interacting with people. She doesn't care if she causes offence and can be very blunt at time. She has little patience for people who seek glory and fame. She can be kind but again, she comes off as cold. She is a bit of a loner and finds it very hard to trust people she doesn't know. She doesn't know what Mercy is and will always kill the enemy. She makes no exception. She is wise when it comes to planning ambushes. She hates cocky people and impatient ones. she has a tendecy to knock people out if they get on her nerves. She doesn't care if you are a king or a commoner as she will treat you in the same way. She loves nature and refuses to kill any that she deems to be uneccessary kills.

It brought great embarrassment to her family when she eventually became pregnant with the the slave's child. Her parents were discreet about the pregnancy, not letting Zyava leave the house and giving the baby away for adoption once it was born. Zyava was heart broken by these events.

After this her parents tried to integrate her back into normal living but Zyava was defiant and attempted to go back to her lover. Her parents eventually disowned her and cast her out the house. She tried to find a place to live with friends but was turned away from every door she went. At first she got by through begging, which eventually evolved into theft. When her parents found out how their cast out daughter was living they were enraged and offered a large sum of money for her death to bring an end to the shame Zyava had brought upon them.

You had unlocked the third tier of the fire spell in the last RP, remember.

Want me to take the parenthesis off? 'Kay.

No. I mean, he unlocked this spell at the end of the first chapter.

Khriin vo votariëlathù gotham on vo Cércéres, al'ommand av tiär ùvivasta alu nonfussi, tiär incíndorel oelù cér ayë oelù pyrrùmisén

Sorry, the large amount of red I had in that post sort of threw me off.

Better

Yes.

Accepted, of course.

POMC, how dare you! I just started another RP and I'm already behind on SP.


... but I can't resist. And a witch coven? Oh, you. I will read all of this and join asap!

Honestly. I didn't put in the witch coven to attract you!

>.>
<.<

You had me at "It has been ten years". I'm totally in.

Accepted!

Seeing as it's a continuation and not a new RP, approved.

Yay!

Hush >_>

Besides, the names of all my witches in Pomcey's world are shamelessly taken from Elder Scrolls witches. Not Melisandre.

... okay, maybe a little bit. Just the hair.

Oh! I forgot to include races in the OP!

I'll put Alva's sheet up later. I think I'll just do it fairly basic and then put up a link to her (unfinished) wiki page.

You could always copy and paste the one you did for the original HC?

Did Gelnius not learn a fire spell during the RP?
