Ambition
Symbol: A flame
Sacred text: Imloss Alvar’s Treatises on Ignas, Volumes I-XVI

‘It may seem - and indeed it must seem - strange to consider that something has come from nothing. “If Ignas exists - and Her presence among us proves conclusively that She does - what first created Her?” I hear you ask, Scholar, even above the scratches of quill on parchment. “What first came to be, that formed Ignas as She formed us, Her people?” Yet there is a fundamental flaw in this thinking, as I shall demonstrate. Our existence is, naturally, tethered to our understanding of time, yet time does not exist for Gods as it does for us. Therefore, rather than time limiting Ignas and Her fellow Gods, instead it is Her servant. It exists - as we do - only by Her will. She moves through time as we flip through the pages of a book. Whilst Her physical form resides here with us, Her essence exists in Sentiasa - the eternal that came before - having no beginning or end.’

Thousands of years ago, the Gods were locked in a divine war as the forces of good, evil and chaos clashed. After millennia of conflict, a truce was called.

Towards the end of the war, the Gods saw that foot soldiers could be used to turn the tide, so they bred and created mortals to serve in their armies. However, as mortality grew in number, the power of the Gods began to fade.

Once the Gods realized that the combined power of the mortals they created was greater than their own, they split the planes and created three separate realms, each protected by barriers to prevent the mortals from uniting under one banner.

These realms were Reliquiae, the Feywild, and the Shadowfell.

The enigmatic leader of a peculiar and elusive religious order followed by the Tieflings.

A festival that falls on the second moon of winter.
As the Antiqua return from the Deference, thousands gather to hear the teachings of the Virtuous.

One of the three realms created at the end of the Divine War, the Feywild was formed by The Wild.

The tree seen from Mt Atria resides in the Feywild.

An order of militaristic Dragonborns, likened to Paladins, who dwell in The Sanctum and rarely venture beyond the city. This reclusive order upholds a deeply traditional ethos, guided by unwavering ideals of morality and honour.

To maintain anonymity, they cover their faces with veils, as the trade in stories and secrets can lead to them being placed great danger.

A school of philosophy based in Yannick, where the children of the wealthy are taught the art of debate and discussion. It is a hub of intellectual exchange for the privileged. And they do love to talk.

A complex and potent cocktail, known for its kick, making it an unlikely choice for daytime drinking. It’s served in skull-shaped cups, adorned with roses, creating a somewhat unsettling visual.

The drink itself is unusual—smoking as it’s served—leaving one to wonder: should drinks even do that?

A dense and frankly uninteresting book that was gifted to Dolly by Torian. It’s packed with health and wellbeing tips, but it fails to engage. The content, aimed at providing a motivational boost, ends up being dull and uninspiring.

The book is bound in blue leather, adorned with four rubies set in circles of gold. Upon study, the reader’s constitution increases by +2.

The mists of the Seren Ocean. These ethereal mists move across the water, catching the light from the constant storms in breathtaking ways. Watching the mists is a cherished pastime for those traveling the Salt Road.

A solemn festival held in Veil to honor and remember the lives and passing of Alakash and Malakine. Marked by a somber mood and black decor, the event stands in stark contrast to the city’s typically vibrant and colorful atmosphere, transforming it into a space of quiet reflection and reverence.

A collection of towering structures scattered throughout Veil, each brimming with stories and secrets. These towers serve as sacred temples where The Gracious undergo their training.

I believes this to be a real place.

A travelers inn on the road to Baruun.

A tavern in Baruun. A reputable establishment.

The universal religious text of Reliquiae.
The Remnants are all that remains of nine original accounts written by religious figures soon after the creation of Reliquiae.

All races would be familiar with The Remnants but barring scholars and theologians, few would read deity specific texts outside their own.

All matters that pertain to the population as a whole - use of the watch, the organisation of celebrations and festivals, the erection of new buildings - these matters must be voted on in Oratory Square. Only The Reeve can invoke The Rite. Since the establishment of the Society of Learned Friends, the scholars often use these votes to practice their debating skills, often dragging the town into terribly long and dull discussions with no real endpoint in sight.

A popular road and trade route that connects Veil and The Sanctum. Usually busy and filled with traders, it’s now eerily quiet in parts.

A tower that can be found on an island, it serves as the seat of Dragonborn power.
Carvilius and Parvus reside here.

One of the three realms created at the end of the Divine War, the Shadowfell was formed by The Vile.

Second in command to The Spider Prince.
Described as an emaciated humanoid, covered in tightly wound bandages. He is a person to be feared, with sunken, glowing amber eyes. He wields unmatched power and ferocity.

A high-end tavern on the edge of Oratory Square, frequented by the well-to-do and members of the Learned Friends. In a private room at the back, high-stakes card and dice games are hosted for those willing to risk it all.

An organisation that offers protection and procurement at a price.
Originally founded in the city of Eskalond, The Web has grown in influence and scope, expanding rapidly to spread itself across the continent.

The Web is known by many as the last refuge of the desperate. If a farmer owes a debt they cannot pay, a family wishes to settle an age old score, or a scholar longs to seek out knowledge, it’s an organisation that offers protection, procurement and power at a price.

Those who wish to avail themselves of The Web’s services pay in gold or in time.
Many of the debts of those paying the ‘time price’ pledge years of their life, or even subsequent generations of their family.

“The Web is wide. Its eyes are as to the stars in the sky”.

Chaotic aligned Deities

Before the world came to be, The Virtuous, Vile and Wild did battle on a single endless plane of existence called Sentiasa.

A tavern in Baruun, where Kelnys, Endellion, and I stop for a beer.
Sadly, they do not have highchairs available in the evening. After all, kids shouldn’t be in a tavern at night.

Kobold deity

(NB) - Kobold God
Community and Kin
Symbol: A circle
Sacred Text: Kobolds have an oral tradition, not a written one. They have no formal religious text, but tell stories of Themself, which they refer to as ‘The Histories’

Elf deity. Theolon is known as ‘The Once Wild’, having changed sides during the war for Sentiasa.
She is said to still have some of those ‘Wild’ passions in her makeup, and consequently this duality is reflected in the existence of both High Elves and Wood Elves.
High Elves believe themselves to be more aligned with the Goddess she has become - stately, creative and civilised - whilst wood elves embody her joyful and impulsive spirit.

(F) - Elf God
Nature and Music
Symbol: A tree
Sacred Text: The Songs of Theolon

She dreamed and as she dreamed her people bloomed,
And growing, grew to flower in Theolon’s light.
Entwined as vines that climb towards the sun,
Bound in eternal dance, perpetually.

The surly dwarf innkeeper of The Black Cat known for his no-nonsense attitude and the tendency to serve customers with as few words as possible. Like any good bartender, he’s more than happy to exchange information for a bit of coin.

The third oldest of the Grēnweard brothers, he is the only one with an affinity for magic.

A big, broad guy with a long red beard tucked into his robes, his hair is thinning on top. He is the most gentle of all the brothers

Another gnomish member of Quincy’s workshop, and despite what he says, she really doesn’t seem all that interested in Raidion.

A female orc, she has green skin and a shaved head. The High Advocate of The Council of Equals

Dwarven deity

(F) - Drawf God
Truth and Home
Symbol: The Scales
Sacred Text: The Book of Forge

‘Ullin wrought dwarvenkind. She hammered their stone hearts from the mountainside. She forged their courage in molten metal. She shaped their cool heads from shards of ice.’

The Tiefling capital.
Malakine resides here.

A 48-year-old Tiefling builder with an impeccable skincare regimen, who often indulges in a drink, sometimes a little bit too much.
He was going to write a book, try and get this life back on track, but Raidion had other plans.

Another tavern along the Salt Road. Some local people might even call it Waters Watch, depends who you ask.

An old halfling who speaks at The Rite of Common Voice.

A male Half-Orc, known to Kelnys. A bodyguard known for their bravery.
He was turned to stone by a Basilisk.

A small town nestled in the Mab woods, west of Mouse, home to Isolde, wife of Eiddon Grēnweard. Unlike Mouse, it lacks fortifications and is protected only by the town watch, making it potentially indefensible should The Gloam attack.

A jewelry shop in Baruun.
While under the influence, Raidion buys matching jewelry for the group.
Each necklace features a different ocean-themed trinket: a conch shell, a crab claw, a seahorse, waves, and an octopus.
