NPCs:
A:
- Adoy – A hermit Hadozee who lives in the forests of Kruezadune. Why he lives in the forest (if he was banished, shunned, or it was his choice) remains unknown; the adventurers who had encountered him, unfortunately startled him before learning too much more about the information he could have provided.
- Status: Alive (Astral Plane, Kruezadune)
- Airey Moonstone was a human who was in love with a human named Martell. However, she was abducted by a wizard who professed his love to her (despite her disinterest in him) and was abducted so that she could not be with Martell. The wizard, an elderly man named Boris Den had a tower just outside her town (in Westbrook). She and Boris both died when Boris’ imp, who had grown tired and jealous of being neglected by Boris, betrayed his master and caused the tower to explode, taking the life of both Boris Den and Airey Moonstone.
- Year of Death (Approx) – 1182
- Alareesa – She was a High Elf Mage who was murdered by a jealous lover. She extracted her revenge against her lover, but sought final rest, but could not until the murder weapon was recovered.
- Status: Undead (Shadow Island)
- Alyson Rainscribe – She was a human on Eaglerock Island, who lived in Kaltore and fled when Lord Brenmoon’s marched on Kaltore, killing all who were there, including her husband, Zedvar Rainscribe. Alyson would end up dying, for reasons unknown, waiting for her husband at a watch tower, where she was awakened by a group of adventurers, who would end up helping her find peace again.
- Status: Dead (Eaglerock Island)
- Alyssum Pratense – A male human rogue that was seen traveling with a caravan headed to the Broken Lands.
- Currently alive
- Ankarin – When Ilyx was destroyed, Ankarin was one of the first humans to settle the land and begin forming an empire. He formed a massive empire and stood against those who worshiped the “voice in the sand” named Kryton. While Ankarin did not believe in blood sacrifices, like those who followed Kryton (he thought it was foolish to kill his people and reduce their numbers) – he, however, had no problem having his trusted mages turn to using Necromancy to ensure his armies were vast in size. When his own demise was imminent due to his age, he turned to his mages who kept his armies strong to mummify him – it is believed, Ankarin was the first to do such a thing, creating a tradition that spread through the shattered lands of Ilyx. Centuries later, Ashen’var – in search of powerful magic, discovered Ankarin’s tomb – and used it to channel more magic into a sphere – creating a second sphere. The first he’d created, had banished Dragons where he siphoned their magic. This second sphere, he channeled all the divine energy that had sundered Ilyx centuries ago – using the sphere as a battery for infinite magical resources.
- Status: Dead
- Annie Longstocking – A red headed halfling who runs an orphanage in Felhorn, as many adults end up “taken by the mist.” Once children on Eaglerock reach the age of eighteen, they cease aging due to the curse on the island. DM Note – Yes, the name Annie and redhair is intentional as in Little Orphan Annie, and the surname is a reference to another young, redhead Pippy Longstocking.
- Status: Alive
- Aoil, the Emerald dragon – Aoil is a Emerald Dragon that was captured by the Githyanki in order to trick another dragon, Kvars, the Topaz Dragon, to fight with the Githyanki. Aoil had been abducted by the Githyanki, orchestrated by their cleric, Lara’tur in order to place the blame on the Earth Genasi and have Kvars fight with the Githyanki.
- Status: Alive (Plane of Earth)
- Appointed One, The – The Appointed One is voted in by the Hadozee on Kruezadune, and their true name is erased from being spoken (for to say their name and not their title is an insult insinuating you do not respect or honor their title).
- Status: Alive (Kruezadune)
- Arem – He is an Azer, and the son of Krom. He and his father established trades with the dwarves – in exchange for adamantine which was present in the mountain, the Azer provided controlled Fire Elementals to heat down the metal that was normally almost impossible to smelt without magical flame.
- Currently alive
- Argus Bloodstone – Argus is a human black smith, with black hair, long black beard. His wife has passed, and he is the sole provider for his daughter, Elyra (who had gone missing, and was rescued). Elyra takes after her mother, with shining blue eyes, and golden hair.
- Aric Lightsoul – Aric was a devote follower of Florasena and married to a Cleric of Florasena, named Lyrisa Lightsoul. They were originally from the continent of Tawaim, in pursuit of a necromancer named “Jaqueline” who’d aligned herself with a powerful force of orcs, namely their chieftan, Olith. Aric was ambushed and murdered and when Lyrisa went to get her revenge, she too was ambushed, then murdered by the necromancer, Jacqueline, whom they’d been tracking down. Both Aric and Lyrisa’s bodies were left as warning signs. They were both buried at the graveyard north of the Ivory Coast, however, their restless spirits were awakened when a necromancer rose some of the dead in that graveyard. Aric regained control of himself, but unaware he was undead and actually a wight. Lyrisa rose as a banshee. Several adventurers offered to help defeat Aric and bring him back to the graveyard to find peace again.
- Status: Deceased.

He explains he has a son named Varek who vanished over 10 years ago. Arvil turned himself in after the adventurers returned with his son. Arvil was tried and found guilty and hung for his acts of Necromancy.
- Year of Death (Approx) – 1185
- Varek Greystone, son of Arvil, had run away and led the goblins and kobolds and delved into Necromancy to try and raise his deceased mother. Varek was defeated by the adventurers and captured alive and brought before the Church where he was tried and hung for his acts of Necromancy. Varek’s body was mysteriously dug up during The Hollowing event, and noticeably his hand had been severed. The reason for the severed hand was never discovered.
- Year of Death (Approx) – 1185
- Asad Sulamain – A young human cook who worked at the Alashamar Alkalhara (which translates to The Eternal Sun) and employed by a group of adventurers to cook at their pyramid in Drastor.
- Status: Alive (Drastor)
- Asador Moontouched – A Tiefling whom Avacyn started a fight with in Lakefront in order to cause a distraction. Asador is a fighter and traveling to Drastor.
- Status: Alive
- Ashen’Var – There is very little known about Ashen’Var’s true past. He is believed to be the oldest elf that ever lived – the rumor speculating that he bore witness to the gods shaping the world and taking it from Terrorskew when they wiped a large majority of existing life to “reshape the world.” If that is to be believed, then he was around to the actual birth of the dragons into the world, as well as witness The War of the Heavens, in which all written history was wiped from the world, and the Age of Darkness was born. He was the sole person to know how and why the dragons vanished from the world suddenly. He made himself more widely known in the year 1110, where he was simply called “The Ashen Elf” (due to his grey skin appearance). He began gathering ancient relics, and raising ancient temples, all lost to the records of history – and he began siphoning the magic from them. He claims to be doing this to stop the rise of the orcs – and one orc in particular who was blessed by Grumthak, god of the Orcs! However, a group of adventurers came in contact with Ashen’Var and discovered he (or the gods, fearful of the dragons’ powers) had trapped the dragons in another realm and he was siphoning their magic to grow in power. He’d nearly achieved godhood, but the adventurers who now had a choice – in order to stop him, they would need to shatter a sphere – in which the dragons had been trapped – in doing so it would release the powerful force of the dragons back into the world – both good and evil – or to let Ashen’Var essentially wipe out the orcs – and anyone else “he considered a threat” – faced with no real choice, the sphere was shattered, freeing the dragons – and greatly weakening Ashen’Var – and with the help of a “Lost God” – they were able to put a stop to Ashen’Var. However, the world is still missing much of it’s great magic that once existed… perhaps somewhere in Kne’Urth… another sphere may yet be found…
- Year of Death (Approx) – 1124
- As’zar’vari’tium – A powerful and supposedly ancient Beholder who has spent its time collecting the many treasures of artifacts in the world. Learning of this new continent where new artifacts were surfacing, As’zar’vari’tium used his great wealth to purchase a boat, hire hill giants to move it and goblins to guard it – and had his treasure relocated to the new continent. However, news never reached As’zar’vari’tium of the ship’s successful voyage, indicating that his treasure may have been lost at sea. As’zar’vari’tium eventually made his way to Drastor to see if some of his shipwrecked items ever turned up on the black market that was extremely lucrative in Drastor, before deciding to take over the black market entirely. One of his eye stalks was wounded in the coup, and he became known as “Ninesword” (each of his eye stalks a lethal weapon) – though he’s used his influence to spread rumors about who “Ninesword” really is, to cause confusion. (After he gained the secret giving skull gem appearance).
- Currently still alive (and furious)
- Avalyn “Bonecracker” – Avalyn was the sister to Avacyn the Merciless, and she fought the heroes as they were pursuing Avacyn and Avalyn’s mother through the caves. She fought the heroes, commanding several orcs as well – but in the end was rendered unconscious. Avacyn took it upon herself to send her sister to the afterlife, by crushing her throat. DM Note – Avacyn, during a moment of roleplay had mentioned that they had brothers and sisters who were still loyal to “the cause” – so I thought it would be interesting to create a named Orc and have it be her sister for some dynamic conversation and roleplaying.
- Status: Deceased
- Azamu Ku’koto – A woman, along the Path of Enlightenment who enticed a group of heroes into her home. Despite her beautiful appearance and kindness, the heroes eventually discovered she was a Jorogumo Yokai – a monster, native to the Seven Kingdoms of Utsukkuen – who are human women who have spider like appendages that can grow out of their back, once they’ve tricked a victim. DM Note – Since the group for this adventure has two Monks I did some research into Japanese lore to look up some creepy stories. That’s where this came from.
- Status: Deceased
B:
- Bahlraug Bloodlust was a Half-Ogre who served along side the brigands who marauded around Spire’s Edge. He worked for Kallen Dahl. Bahlraug is seeking the gauntlet formerly owned by Kallen Dahl. However, as luck would have it, much like Kallen Dahl, he would perish at the hands of a group of adventurers after he kidnapped Barus Gravestone and his daughter, Avalyn Gravestone.
- Year of Death (Approx) – 1186
- Barakus – Owl Bear that had been captured by the Dominus Tenebris carnaval.
- Baransu – An elf monk who was born in Seven Kingdoms of Utsukkuen who was known as “The Balance” because of his ability to weigh all things before making a choice; and often would do something questionable just as quickly as he would do the most pure of things. He had a wife, daughter and son. During the Hollowing, his wife and son were abducted by Illithid who came to the surface during the darkness to enslave elves and humans (and use some as food). Baransu created a cestus – one of light and one of darkness – and went after the Illithid. His wife, was unfortunately slain, but Baransu was able to save his son. He became obsessed with the idea, his mind broken by whatever he’d endured or seen during the rescue, that the Illithid would be coming back to seek revenge – so he forged another set – and planned to give the dark set to his son, for his son had witness the darkness below; and the light set to his daughter. However, he would pass before he could. His daughter, unable to bare the idea took her brother and fled – leaving him at the footsteps of a monastary before disappearing herself. (Note: This is directly tied to Hartmut’s background).
- Status: Deceased
- Barek Demonstone is a 36 year old human mage, blond hair and green eyes; he lived outside the edge of Skotland on Tawaim. He was generally mistrusted by the people of Skotland.
- Year of Death (Approx) – 1182
- Barkspear, Chief – A gnoll chief who took over the deserted city of Stormthunder on Shadow Island, driving away the goblins who’d claimed it after it’d become a ghost town.
- Status: Alive (Shadow Island)
- Barton Stormlight, a human bartender of The Broken Stone located on Tawaim. He’s on the heavy side, badling, black hair, and green eyes. His daughter is named Leesa, who is a waitress at The Broken Stone.
- Year of Death (Approx) – 1112
- Leesa Stormlight is a young (19 year old) waitress who worked for her father as a waitress at The Broken Stone.
- Year of Death (Approx) – 1142
- Barus Gravestone, human mayor of Spire’s Edge (city that had been attacked by a blue dragon and kobolds and left devastated).
- Currently alive in Ivory Vale
- Avalyn Gravestone, daughter of Barus Gravestone, Avalyn is a Cleric who follows the goddess Tavara (Goddess of Weather/Rain/Thunder). She was abducted by Bahlraug Bloodlust, a half-ogre who had hoped to torture her to make Barus confess about the Gauntlet.
- Currently alive in Ivory Vale
- Battletoad, King – King Battletoad is the leader of the loose band of Bullywugs that live in the Shadow Vale. His “kingdom” consists of the Death River and the Death Swamp as his area that he rules over. However, despite the distance (but perhaps due to the secret passage that connects the Death Swamp all the way to where Kuo-Toa resides, if you travel beneath the stone – using the massive body of water beneath) – King Battletoad has waged a war with the Kuo-Toa, and would do anything to stop them and their “rise to power.” King Battletoad often led his Bullywugs on assaults on the dwarves, prior to the basilisks taking over the Crystal Caverns, as the dwarves formerly mined the unique crystals found there, due to the nature of those crystals being grounded down to powder and smelted into the metal, gave it a unique sheen to it. His reasoning for attacking the dwarves is unknown, but can probably be assumed that humanoids were in “his kingdom.”
- Currently alive in the Shadow Vale (Ivory Vale)
- Bearhog – Bearhog comes from a race known as B’rohgs; similar to massive giants, he stands 30′ tall. He helped several heroes against a beast feeding on animal meat he also fed upon on Kruezadune.
- Status: Alive (Kruezadune)
- Belgar Daggeredge – Mayor of the Ivory Coast. Human, blond hair, green eyes, walks with a limp (on his right leg)
- Current status: Alive, Ivory Coast
- Bishmani – An honorable Samurai that once fought for Seven Kingdoms of Utsukkuen – and was thought to be one of the greatest Samurai’s ever. He was, however, ambushed and murdered by a band of hobgoblins who then captured his soul before it could ascend – and twisted it with magic – and threw it back into his body. He now leads a large band of hobgoblins.
- Status: Undead
- Bizkan – an old goblin, considered the “Shaman” of his people, living on an uncharted small (10 mile by 10 mile) island somewhere between Tawaim and “Vareen” (the newly discovered continent).
- Currently alive, “Mysterious Island”
- Blackwell – Blackwell is a human who runs the stables out of Spire’s Edge. He often trains horses for the guards. It’s unknown if Blackwell is his first or last name, as he’s given no other name to anyone other than “Blackwell.”
- Alive (Spire’s Edge)
- Bootoor – Goblin who serves King Terralol. They lived in the sewers of Stormthunder on Shadow Island.
- Status: Alive (Shadow Island)
- Borius Darkstorm & Elliana Darkstorm – They were an Incubi and Sucubi couple who took on a human guise and created a hedonist cult. Their ruse was discovered by a Paladin by the name of Orius Silverstrength. However, the cult existed for so many years, where couples had shared lovers and celebrated the goddess, Prenah – that there is undoubtedly many whom had mated and bore children with the Incubi and Sucubi couple. Both were banished by Orius.
- Current status: Banished
- Bral Forgestone – Human who is an expert weapon maker when it comes to hunting weapons. He lives in Korvask/Fourstone.
- Status: Alive (Eagle Rock)
- Bram Kessler – Bram Kessler is a human monk who learned that his monasteries’ mortal enemy, the Hobgoblins, had partnered up with the metallic dragons of the world, to be a part of their army. He’d gone to investigate what more he could learn – and discovered that the metallic dragons are amassing for something much larger. However, he was captured during this mission. A party was sent out to try and find and rescue Bram – and managed to do so, fleeing from a white dragon!
- Status: Alive
- Bran Bladesong – Bran is a weapon merchant who was traveling from the Ivory Coast to Ridgecrest with a group – and believed the party was being trailed by a dragon. His overactive imagination was partially due to his creative side. His life long dream had been to become an artist, but he took up being a weapon vendor because that was the family business. During this time in believing the caravan was being trailed by a dragon, he drew a map in the dirt and realized again how much he loved doing art.
- Status: Alive
- Brandon Crowfeather & Erica Crowfeather – Wereravens who joined in the battle against the Vargouille attack at Greenhaven. They give instructions to the party if they hope to cure Waesyn from the Vargouille bite, they will need to seek out Shelly Cadwell at Lover’s End; and go on to explain that Lover’s End is a massive tree where many, consumed with depression, go to hang themselves. In the meantime, Erica Crowfeather had kept the Daylight spell going on Waesyn to prevent the infection from spreading. DM Note – Brandon Crowfeather is based on Brandon Lee from The Crow (among many other movies, but I really loved The Crow movie). Erica is based on “Eric Draven” – femized Eric from The Crow. Eric Draven was the person who became The Crow. Shelly Cadwell – the first name Shelly comes from Eric’s love interest in The Crow, her name was Shelly. The last name Cadwell comes from Brandon Lee’s mother’s maiden name.
- Status: Alive (Eaglerock)
- Brawnstone Dawnslight – An Arch Priest on the continent, who is a Priest of Florasena located in Bistream who has been using some of the Church’s funds to purchase some of these artifacts coming from the new continent, Vareen. Several events he’s sensed seem to center around the continent – including the death of eight gods – as well as more magic being released into the world. The church became aware of a Tabaxi named Skrizz who had planned to sneak into the Church and acquire some of these relics – but a trap was sprung and Skrizz was captured. Brawnstone explained to Skrizz that if he agrees to escort one of his clerics to Vareen – and keep her safe – and upon her safe return – he will wipe the slate clean all across the continent of any of Skrizz’s criminal record – it proves to be an offer Skrizz can’t pass up and he’s assigned to help Grace Obadiah, an Aasimar Twilight Cleric.
- Status: Alive (Tawaim)
- Brenmoon, Lord – Lord Brenmoon was the second most powerful Lord of Eaglerock and despised how well liked Lord Starfall had been. He craved his power and respect, and more importantly, to command the Rocs, for which Eaglerock was known. Lord Brenmoon conspired against Lord Starfall, and employed the evil wizard Razathorn to help with his plan. First was to make Starfall lose the faith of his people; which was done by tricking him into killing the love of his life. Then, he began turning to madness – and soon, Brenmoon – or one of his agents (this has yet to be revealed) – got in the manor and turned him to stone – but not before ripping out his heart first. Through Razathorn’s research, Brenmoon learned a way to attain eternal life from a Satyr they captured and tortured name Ossis. The down side was a weakness to day light, similar to actual vampires; this was something known as Feypire (or Feympire). Brenmoon gathered all the resources and gave them to Razathorn to cloak the island in a never ending mist; the unknown side effect was that it prevents people from aging once they’ve reached maturity (this has to do with the Fey’s natural long life span). Once this was achieved, Brenmoon cast Razathorn out, seeing no further use for him – causing a division. Lord Brenmoon then sent his soldiers to gather all the metal workers and made smithing weapons and armor illegal, for fear that someone may attempt to rise up against him. Lord Brenmoon’s symbol/crest.
- Status: Alive (as a Feypire/Feympire, Eaglerock)
- Brez Hallenfire – Prince of the Fire Giants of The Shadow Vale. Brez threw in his allegiance with the Drow High Priestess, believing that his father’s attempt at maintaining the Ordning was an old, out dated method, that has proven of late to be an utter failure. So he saw the power the Drow High Priestess possessed and threw in with her – she granted him use of Water Elementals to prevent the Azer from returning to their portal. A party of adventurers, opposing the Drow High Priestess aligned with the Azer and managed to kill Brez. There may be consequences of course, for killing the Fire Giant Prince.
- Slain by the party of adventurers in 1,187
- Brick Sellsword – A human fighter employed by Kraun, working out of Lakefront. Brick suffered some form of brain injury at a very young age, while fighting and can not remember his own past. The resulting brain surgery has left him very slow – but what he lacks in mental capacity he makes up in pure brawn. Kraun found him and hired him – and when he asked his name he couldn’t remember so Kraun named him “Brick” because he was as dense (muscle wise) as a brick, and “Sellsword” because that was the profession he was, under Kraun’s services.
- Status: Alive (Lakefront)
- Bruadar Clach – A Stone Giant Dream Walker who approached a dwarf by the name of Ginny (Gineva Bavara) – a follower of Jaris – and explained that he foresaw the released of an ancient, fallen angel back into the world – and the fallen angel’s release will trigger the balance of good and evil to violently sway in favor of evil. This fallen angel’s presence will create a rippling effect – where the Chromatic Dragon Armies will begin to gather, gods will die, and one creature of great evil will seek godhood. All of this will upset the Esholon of the Giants, who will sense this evil and enpower those who believe the Esholon should fall to strike out at the ancient order of giants, because they will see the gathering of dragons as a threat to the giants. Should war break out across the face of the world between giant and dragon – it will be like what happened on Shadow Island – only on a much larger scale.
- Status: Alive (Ivory Coast was last known location)
- Burlap – Burlap is a Berbalang, who had been captured by the Dominus Tenebris Carnival when he was searching for a powerful magic item and spying on an opposing demon of his own master. When the heroes finally defeated the Carnival, Burlap – like many others – was set free. He eventually came to Eaglerock, sensing powerful magic. He encountered several heroes in the haunted Starfall Estate, who believed he was a winged goblin (despite his protests).
- Status: Alive
- Bloodhooves, Chief – Chief of the Centaurs of the Jade Forest. After the events that released Verastin – while thankful that other adventurers had come along and helped put an end to the Green Hag who invaded the Jade Forest after the Dryad’s demise; he no longer wants “outsiders of any kind” in his woods, as he seeks to try and save it from the damage inflicted by outsiders and their dark magics.
- Currently alive in Ivory Vale (Jade Forest)
- Boondah, Chief – A Kobold Chief on the island of Eaglerock, who had managed to capture a Faerie Dragon and became addicted to the rapture breath of the Faerie Dragon. He was killed in a coup, led by three kobolds and a small group of adventurers, who escaped with the Faerie Dragon.
- Status: Dead (Eaglerock)
- Bloom Flowertop – One of the pixies that agreed to help some adventurers put an end to a Mind Flayer operation where they’d been using Ogres and an Ettin to control and gather food (and slaves) for the Mind Flayers.
- Currently alive in Ivory Vale
- Boondah, Chief – Chief Boondah was a kobold leader in the Swamp of Despair on Eaglerock who was known to be ruthless. However, when a faerie dragon had been captured by the kobolds, Chief Boondah claimed ownership of it and developed an addiction to the faerie dragon’s euphoric breath. In an effort to overthrow their now useless chief, a kobold by the name of Kril encountered a party of adventurers in the swamp while he and his two companions were out seeking the black dragon who was rumored to live in the swamp and question what they should do about Chief Boondah. The party proved to be just what Kril needed – they helped kill and get rid of Chief Boondah as well as drive away the Chief’s cook, Chellah, who was a notorious poison maker.
- Status: Deceased (Eaglerock)
- Boom-Boom Steamstone, King – his exact age is unknown; but he’s over 100 years old and rules in Rockhome, in Tawaim. He is an easy going king, very passive. He believes the more holidays there are to celebrate steam related inventions, the better. As a result, it does not take much for King Steamstone to “create” another holiday. Rarely, however, are any of the holidays carried over annually, because gnomes do not keep track of time (and thus have no concept of a calendar).
- Year of Death (Approx) – 1162
- Boris Den – A human wizard who had abducted the love of his life (though she did not love him in turn) – a young human female named Airey Moonstone and turned to Necromancy to remain young. He had a tower he had done all his work in, just outside of Westbrook which exploded (thanks to his own familiar betraying him) killing him as well as Airey Moonstone.

- Currently alive Shadow Realm (Ivory Vale)
- Bristor & Dollen – Bristor and Dollen were human warriors who served Kraun, as caravan guards. They’d been told to summon a group of adventurers that Kraun was interested in offering a job – namely the Paladin, Adrian – whom Kraun had offered a job previously, and had the paladin decline – which infuriated Kraun. Bristor escorted Adrian and Buppido – and when Ragnaroc tried to follow – Dollen went back to ask him to go back to the party – and that his companions were safe – they were going to be asked to do a job. However, Ragnaroc would not back down – and it escalated – and though Dollen was hitting Ragnaroc, he was clearly doing subduing damage, as he did not want to jeapordize his boss’ deal – and just wanted to stop Ragnaroc from following. Ragnaroc, however, responded with lethal damage, and killed Dollen and hid his body in the bushes. When Dollen never arrived, Bristor knew that Ragnaroc had been responsible and tormented him for some time. Ragnaroc (and Sephrenia) would be abducted after their drinks were spiked – and it’s unknown if Bristor was behind it. No clear evidence pointed towards him being the one. Ragnaroc eventually confessed to the murder and showed Bristor the location of his brother’s corpse.
- Status: Bristor (Alive, Broken Lands), Dollen (Deceased)

- Caith Mathan – He is a human who lives on Eaglerock. He used to be a Ranger until he was infected with Lycanthropy – and eventually became a Werebear.

- Status: Alive (Eaglerock)
- Caleb Kabir – Large human who is well respected in Drastor for his amazing smithing abilities. Though a native to Drastor, Caleb ventured out into the world to learn more about blacksmithing, and is said to have gained the respect of dwarves, from whom he had learned from. In Drastor he is the primary smith the city turns to for forging weapons and armor for the guards. Caleb was also hired by Adrian and Don Kanin to help at their base (Session 72).

- Caravan traveling to Drastor with the Discovery party:
- Tonias Stonekeeper – Human Male Food Merchant
- He has several people in his caravan
- Kelli Starfield – Female Elf Jeweler
- Has a few Elves in her wagon
- Motivo – Male Tiefling Weaponsmith
- He has several people in his wagon
- Vi – Female Aasimar Armorsmith
- She has several people in her wagon
- Tonias Stonekeeper – Human Male Food Merchant
- Caraus Stonesteam – A rock gnome who spent a great amount of time around dwarves, often making trades. He became experienced in herbalism which he used to create healing potions – which the dwarves, often needed – whether from burns at the forge, or the battles against the goblins and orcs. Caraus eventually left the mountain and made his way to Ridgecrest. He became well known as an herbalist there, often treating wounds. This got him a pass to Mid-Ridge, which was eventually upgraded to High Ridge, where he runs a healing shop called Stonesteam’s Dreams.
- Status: Alive
- Cass Lightmage, Captain – A female captain of the Griffon’s Crest ship. She got rid of her cargo in order to carry more passengers (as that proved to be where the money is – but also meant stopping along several islands along the way to gather supplies and trade or hunt for food and medical supplies).
- Status: Alive (Sailing)
- Celan Gradon – She is a female Eladrin elf who came to Eaglerock, pursuing a Rot Troll and a Venom Troll from the Feywild, who were among two of many trolls “blessed by the dark gods Sarenthar (god of trolls) and Skortavrian (god of poison) – who are solely alive to spread disease and destruction in their path. When she had come here she was trapped by a wizard. The wizard demanded to learn who and what she was and how he could syphon the magic from her. That wizard was Marius Silverstone. She lied to Marius and revealed how he could have her magic if he lets her go. He agreed, but she knew he was lying. She channeled a burst of her magic into him which over loaded him and made him go mad – and he ran off, stark raving mad. She’d expected the barrier to drop, but it did not – so she continued to burst with magic thinking that Marius might still be alive (this unintentionally turned him undead restoring his ‘life’ as a ghast). She would eventually be freed by a group of heroes along with Caith Mathan. She like others discovered she could not portal out of Eagle Rock. She asked her rescuers to track down the two trolls she’d originally come after, while she recovered from her wounds. She would also tell the adventurers how she is aware of a hag named Krysinda who is somewhere on Eagle Rock, as well as a Satyr friend of hers named Ossis, who never returned (and now she knows why – due to the spell that prevents leaving the island). She wondered where Ossis was – and was told of his fate – and told the heroes how he might be saved. She was tended to and cared for by Caith, from her wounds, who provided her with food and herbs, and the two have developed a romantic relationship with one another.
- DM Note: Celan Gradon – her name is an anagram for the word “Dragonlance” because of the newest Dragonlance book that was released for D&D 5e at the time. Celan is the word “lance” shuffled around and “Gradon” is the word “dragon” shuffled. I swapped first and last because Gradon Celan sounded too masculine to me.
- Chellah – A Kobold cook who served Chief Boondah. Chellah was removed from the tribe after Kril took over as chief, as he did not trust Chellah, who was notoriously known for being an excellent poison maker – and those who had previously opposed Chief Bonndah often died “mysterious deaths” – that many speculated to be the work of Chellah’s poisons.
- Status: Alive (Eaglerock, Swamp of Despair)
- Coal The Black – A Black Dragon that has found itself trapped on Eaglerock – unable to leave, due to the curse over the island. Said to live in the Swamp of Despair. (DM Note – the Swamp of Despair is a nod to EverQuest’s Swamp of No Hope. I was an avid EverQuest player back in the day).
- Status: Alive (as far as anyone knows)

- Status: Alive (Lakefront)
- Crescent the Moonstone Dragon – Crescent is a young Moonstone Dragon that has found himself trapped on Eaglerock, due to the curse which prevents flying above certain heights – or even away from Eaglerock. This is all a part of the curse to ensure no one flees, and that the “mist can be fed.” He employed a small group of adventurers to travel to one of Razathorn’s Mage Towers on Eaglerock and destroy the Cauldron of Shadows which was being used to corrupt dragon eggs. The wereravens faithfully serve as Crescents eyes and guardians against Lord Brenmoon’s forces.
- Status: Alive (Eaglerock)
- Cur’nors, Chief – Chief Cur’nors is the leader of the Lizardfolk in the Shadow Vale. He has led his people in a great war against the trolls who have come and invaded their swamp lands and contaminated their waters. Chief Cur’nors was the first chief to erect a giant dinosaur/dragon totem that stands sixty feet tall and proclaimed it their goddess. Several years later, a young green dragon found her way inside the Shadow Vale and seeing that the Lizardfolk worshiped this totem, proclaimed to be their goddess, for the sheer joy of tampering with them – her name is Kala’Shin (meaning in the ancient elven tongue ‘born of great evil‘). Cur’nors, with the help of some adventurers, was finally able to defeat the trolls after they had recovered the beaded necklace that the Lizardfolk had made for their totem.
- Currently still alive (Shadow Vale)
D:
- Daggerpoint the Spite, and Locke the Pseudodragon – Daggerpoint is a Sprite who rides on the back of a Pseudodragon named Locke. Locke has the personality of a lazy cat, prefering not to fly, but rather lounge in the sun on the floor or on a treebranch, where as Daggerpoint sees himself as someone who is critical to the world’s fate and very self important. The duo met a group of heroes who’d been hired by Jarick to investigate the growing, sickly green mist in the Jade Forest.
- Status: Both Alive (with Daggerpoint still arguing with Locke, no doubt)
- Dalara Daylight – She is a human female who runs a clothing shop, aimed at the more sophisticated look, to the more sensual look (namely lingerie), called Dalara’s Delights. One of the heroes named Galiena, approached her, and asked to work for her, to pay for some new clothing. The party purchased a number of outfits from her.
- Status: Alive (Eaglerock)
- Dalasmon – Dalasmon was an ancient Treant in Kaltore who became corrupted by the power of a hag named Krysinda. The treant demanded the people of Kaltore to sacrifice one of their own – each full moon to sedate it’s vampiric hunger. The people of Kaltore believed this was a good thing, that they would become part of the root (and often changed “We return to the roots”) – because the more Dalasmon fed, the more roots grew wildly throughout Kaltore, which the treant used to defend itself from approaching attackers.
- Status: Alive (Eaglerock Island, Kaltore)
- Danela– Dryad who had been assigned to protect the Great Tree in the Jade Forest, knowing it was the prison for Verastin. However some cultists do manage to capture her and enact an ancient ritual that releases the fallen angel after her throat is slit and her blood and heart are used to complete the ancient ritual. Tragically her danger and demise attracted the ancient protector of the woods, a Unicorn named Starhorn who was then tragically killed by Verastin using the unicorn’s own horn to pierce its heart and turn it into a Nightmare. It was later revealed that she and Orius Silverstrength had fallen in love, and she bore a daughter through their mating.
- Year of Death (Approx) – 1185
- Darius Blackmane – A human wizard who gained so much knowledge that his mind and body were torn asunder, turning him into an Allip. He was able to maintain control of some of his sanity when a skull cursed gem was stolen by thieves. He had a tower in Lakefront that collapsed and killed him (turning him into an Allip, rather than granting him the death he craved) when the undead dragon, Ebony attacked. A group of adventurers later encountered Darius in his Allip form. They agreed to find the cursed skull gem and take it to the Broken Lands and have it destroyed. However, it’d been the item Kraun (a tiefling) had hired them to steal – which they did and returned to Kraun, since he was headed to the Broken Lands also – the heroes planned to steal it from him once they got into the Broken Lands so they could see it destroyed.
- Status: Undead/Allip form/Awaiting the destruction of the Gem Skull to be free
- Darko Wintersage (prior to his curse) / Darko Wintersage (cursed) – Darko Wintersage first came in as an apprentice for a powerful mage named Mordak. (Mordak would go on, later to adopt an alias on Eagle Rock as Razathorn). During his time serving Mordak, he was in charge of Mordak’s manor in the Ivory Coast, when it was suddenly attacked by a small band of undead, led by a mage wearing blue robes who took a very powerful spellbook. He would employee a group of adventures to help track down the tome. Later, under Mordak’s command, he would be sent to Shadow Island to look into a relic a Coven of Hags had discovered – a meteorite that was supposedly a portion of one of the Celestial Stars. It was there he would team up with a duo in search for that meteorite. Some point later, Darko would end up on Eagle Rock (presumably sent there by his master, Mordak). While there, Darko Wintersage served with Razathorn. It’s unclear if Darko ever realized that Mordak and Razathorn were the same person. However, when Razathorn was exiled from Lord Brenmoon’s services, Darko reflected on what he believed to be the winning side, and sided with Lord Brenmoon. When Darko was found, he’d revealed to the party that found him, that he’d been murdered. He explained he’d been a part of Lord Brenmoon’s forces who attacked the village of Kaltore, because it was the primary source of metals (including mines where materials to make steel were being mined). Lord Brenmoon had outlawed armor and weapons on the island, and any caught wearing or using them, were immediately put in prison (where they were often never heard from again). During that attack on Kaltore, someone snuck up behind Darko and shoved a rod (an Immovable Rod) through his head – which not only killed him, but pinned him to the ground. He suspects the magic of the rod gave him his current status of being a flying, magical skull with flames. The party realized that with Darko having worked with both Razathorn, the Wizard, and Lord Brenmoon, the evil overlord of the land, that he could have valuable information. Darko agreed to share some as soon as the party found him a body he could possess so he could cast spells again.

Onyx tracked down the new owners of the head trophy and murdered them and recovered Ebony’s head; and then used the Staff to resuccrect Ebony who then tracked the pair of dragon hunters down to the town of Lakefront where he proceeded to murder everyone. Ebony did manage to get a hold of the dragon hunters and ripped their heads off their bodies and placed them on spikes outside of Lakefront. Ebony was however, defeated by a group of adventurers.

She’d done so, taking quite a few followers and established a small village that the others elected to name after her, calling it Pleasantleaf. She remained there until the village had become self sufficient, before once again, departing – though this time taking no one with her and telling no one why she’d left – leaving her reason for her disappearance rather mysterious.

- Ergus Arkthorn – A human who left Tawaim, because he’d never had any luck – at anything and sincerely felt as if he was cursed. He came to the new land and arrived at the Ivory Coast, headed out when the caravan he was on was attacked by Hobgoblins. He quickly fled into the bushes rather than defend himself or help the others and spent the next six weeks hopelessly lost before finding his way back to the Ivory Coast. Believing his ill fortune he brought towards others had continued, he took up the job he had previously on the main continent of Tawaim, and became the Graveyard Keeper for the Ivory Coast, joining the existing Graveyard Keeper Muarin Sorllin. As luck would have it, Ergus’ ill fortune in the lives he touched continued, as Maurin was killed by giant spiders drawn by the supernatural events in the nearby graveyard. Strangely, the hand of Varek Greystone was found to be responsible – still wreaking death two years after he had been hung and his hand had mysteriously been severed.
- Ergus Arkthorn, Currently alive
- Maurin Sorllin, killed 1187
- Erihk Starfall, Lord – Lord Starfall was the Lord of Eaglerock and happily in a relationship with Ellana Treeglade. However, he was tricked by Razathorn – and from the looks of things, appears to have had a one night stand with a tavern waitress in Felhorn by the name of Layna Ollarina. This information was told to Ellana who questioned – and could not forgive Lord Starfall. In his descending madness, also influenced by Razathorn, who promised Lord Starfall a sure way to win her back – turned to dark arts. Razathorn convinced Lord Starfall to kill Ellana, out of love – and that he would raise her – with her mind “reset” having forgotten the “incident.” Lord Starfall did so, driven mad already – but Razathorn did not keep his promise (he never intended to). Ellana rose as a spirit and haunts the manor’s foyer. Lord Starfall was found, his body a statue – and noticably – his heart seems to have been ripped out.

- Ferin Unthall – She is a Captain of the Drow army on the Plane of Earth. She had come to the Plane of Earth, leading a squadron to deceive the Earth Genasi and acquire the Elder Ring, which they succeeded in doing. They awaited the command of their Priestess which never came (she had been slain). With the arrival of the Githyanki, everything fell into chaos and the Drow fled into the mountains on the Plane of Earth, where they have established themselves. However, Ferin had been caught by Githyanki and tortured for information, but Ferin is not one to break – and believes in honor above all else (she is essentially a Knight in the Drow order). She was rescued by a party, and the High Elf Sephrenia spoke with her about their common enemy – and Ferin agreed – the Githyanki must pay and an alliance was forged.
- Status: Alive (Plane of Earth)
- Fein Maheas – A High Elf who proclaimed she was more beautiful than Nifika herself (who is often viewed as the most beautiful of all the deities) – from here, the story varies – some say Nifika herself cursed her, some say, Seerana, the goddess of Fate cursed her, some say Nifika had Seerana curse her – whatever version of the story it is – Fein’s vanity had reached the ears of the gods, through an angel – and a curse was bestowed upon Fein, that anyone – man, woman, child, animal, any living being or creature – who met her gaze would be forever turned to stone, so that no one could ever admire her beauty and live – and those that did, would meet their fate by turning to stone, forever trapped. The name of her curse was Medusa – meaning of serpent and stone in Ancient Elven. But the gods were cruel in their curse, for they gave Fein eternal life as well, so that her curse could never come to an end; she would be eternally beautifully, but never could be looked at. As if that were not enough, Fein was also cursed that she could never bring injury to herself or her offspring. Vengeful, Fein turned her back on her goddess and called upon Nifika’s greatest enemy – the serpent demon lord, Nebakrau. Nebakrau embraced her new form and welcomed her into his domain transforming her into the first Marilith demon. The legend states, there are humans who follow Nebakrau called Yuan-Ti, who aspire to become Marilith demons; some become something known as Nightmare Callers, other ascended to Marilith status; others are returned to the world as Medusas, due to failing their task that Nebakrau has given them…
- Status: Deceased (Or So It Is Believed)
- Frel “Lucky” Horseshoe – Frel “Lucky” Horseshoe got his name due to his incredible luck. He simply seems to always have things go his way; even when disaster strikes, Frel seems to always be safe. When the undead dragon, Ebony attacked Lakefront, a building collapsed around Frel who had been trying to help people – however, when the wall collapsed, where Frel had been standing where the open window on the fallen wall was, so other than some minor scratches, he escaped with very few wounds. One of the adventurers – a rogue named Korra turned to Frel to gather information about her missing companions, which he’d managed to quickly find.
- Status: Alive (Lakefront)
- Frostscale – The female white dragon that led the attack against Spire’s Edge. The reason for the attack remained unknown as it seemed that the idea was to steal valuables from Spire’s Edge rather than the rampant murder and mayhem. Frostscale led an army of Kobolds in the siege of Spire’s Edge. After making several attacks, Frostscale departed and allowed the Kobolds to run into the city to begin looting. A group of adventurers came upon the tattered town just after the attack and fought the Kobolds.

- Goarus Doomsilk – Goarus Doomsilk is a vicious Drow alchemist who has little regard of any form of life – as understanding how magic works – and how beasts contain magical properties (such as the “shimmering” done by Displacer Beasts) will result in Goarus’ desire to dissect and understand how it works. He’s gone as far as to even dissect his own kind. He was the one who had Nor’Orn Greenskin, the goblin as a slave; and it’s from Goarus (at the hands of extensive verbal and physical abuse, including being subjected to various experiments) that Nor’Orn learned by sneakily watching Goarus and reading his notes and becoming just as good as Goarus (though Nor’Orn’s sanity did not remain intact – so his intelligence is often lost in the clouds of his insanity).

- Karvus – He was supposedly an Empyrean on these mortal planes who was so fearless he drew the attention of Arikreel, the God of Strength. The stories and legends, if you are to say they’re such – claim that he and Arikreel not only fought endless hordes of demons and demon lords – but Karvus, despite not being a deity never faltered – never cowered, never showed any sign of fear. However, he was, in the end, still mortal because he had been cut off from Aftgrand… and as such, as fearless as one is, being mortal means it only takes one lucky strike to sever the mortal coil. However, the Sisters of Fate, who watched Karvus – when his thread was cut – his thread was gathered by the sisters and placed into the Wheel again. His essence is still on the mortal plane, waiting to be awakened again. They called him Karvus, the one hundred handed warrior, because he cut through so many enemies so quickly. An adventuring party was given a quest to try and awaken him to prepare him for the battle ahead against the Beholder who was trying to ascend to godhood. Stonesight, a Stone Giant Dream Walker, explained: “First, you must find his eyes, so that he can see the world and see the enemy. These are two, large, red rubies now in the possession of a Githyanki Cleric of the Serpent God. They are nearby… Find them to begin the Awakening. You must also find his breath again – to fill his lungs and give him life – that can be found in the Plane of Air. But Karvus – he was a great warrior – he will need the fire that burned in his heart – which can be found on the Plane of Fire. Take these three things to the Plane of Water, where you will need to find Karvus’ final resting place and awaken him. Then he will rise again and aid you against the battle that is coming before you.”

- Krill’ith Grix’thall – A Drow Priestess who rose to great power. She was in power during a time where her soldiers had captured several adventurers returning from the Broken Lands and headed to the Ivory Coast to sail back home with their riches. Among one of the things they’d found in the Broken Lands was an ancient tome that spoke of an Elder Goddess, long forgotten by time, that’d been worshiped by “The Forsaken Ones” – this was revealed to be some of the very first “Dark Elves” who were cast out for their use of darker magics to meet their needs. These “Dark Elves” would eventually be chased underground – where they grew more powerful, surviving in an environment that made every attempt to kill them – from other creatures, to the very plants. Krill’ith studied the tome and learned how to communicate with L’orak’ana, the Spider Queen and learned great, ancient, forgotten (and forbidden) magic from her. Krill’ith began capturing Dwarves to mine the Adamantine in the Shadow Vale – and needed a fire so great to melt down to mass quantity – so she used the knowledge gained from L’orak’ana to open a portal to the Plane of Fire, where she sent in one of her agents to capture the Fire Elemental Elder, The Phoenix – and forced it to serve her. In order to keep the fires going, she sent an agent into the Plane of Air to capture the Elemental Elder, Zephenryrus. Next she would need something made of durable stone to hold such heated metals, so her agents were sent to the Plane of Earth, where the Elder Elemental, Zaratan was enslaved. And the final, the water to feed the fires, her Agents entered the Plane of Water and captured Leviathan. Each of the Elementals was enslaved to complete the massive Adamantine Drider statue, which Krill’ith used an ancient ritual to place her spirit into – becoming the embodiment of her goddess. She was, in the end, defeated as she marched her armies towards the Dwarven Kingdom. Despite her defeat, her goddess, L’orak’ana was able to enter Aftgard and and for each of her legs – she killed eight deities before being banished to Garengrand. The deities she killed were: Airana, Akanda, Drakenfiel, Elenar, Krauzden, Lauhzar, Tavara and Teakak. After the defeat of Krill’ith – her four selected Captains who wore the Ring of the Elementals (one for each element) fled.

On Eagle Rock, she propositions herself as an old woman who knows “the ancient ways of magic” when in truth she is a hag. She is first mentioned by a spirit in Kaltore who goes on to talk about how she had blessed the town of Kaltore with a protector – an ancient tree spirit named Dalasmon (which in truth is an ancient treant she corrupted to become vampiric). She would be mentioned again by a group of goblins who explained that Krysinda offered some of the other goblins “unlimited power” – but in truth cursed them into wolf like animals who were slowly losing their minds and becoming more and more primal.

Several adventurers offered to help defeat Aric and bring him back to the graveyard to find peace again.

- Lariun Lataff – A human who lives in Greenhaven, on Eagle Rock. He’d grown suspicious of a group of adventurers and their behavior about fighting off gnolls. While he is not a soldier of Lord Brenmoon, he is fearful of Lord Brenmoon’s wrath. He had become close to one of the guards of Lord Brenmoon named Marikus Shieldbarer. He developed this friendship more as a way to be in the know of what Lord Brenmoon’s plans are and to ensure the safety of himself.

- Lauren Gucci-Wexner – Lauren Gucci was well known for the soaps and perfumes she had made that were always selling incredibly well at various Inns, who would purchase them for their patron rooms. During her travels, being a strong, self providing woman, she met Kasey Wexner who was quite impressed with her business sense. Kasey was a well known businessman and had established several businesses throughout the continent. He offered to work with her and the two formed a partnership that expanded her market to finally be able to open a store. The two developed a romantic relationship after many years as business partners, and Lauren would eventually marry Kasey. However, Lauren as a strong woman, who built her initial reputation as Lauren Gucci would not simply take on Wexner’s last name, so she hyphenated her own name. The two would go on to expand from simply selling to inns, taverns, and small stores, to opening a chain of stores called “LGW” (which stood for Lauren Gucci-Wexner). The two were on their way to Eaglerock, one of the few locations where they’d not established themselves, when – like many others, since the “dark cloud” over the island appeared – their ship mysteriously shipwrecked and the two were among many survivors. They washed along the southern shore of Eaglerock and came to find themselves at Felhorn where they learned that many people were mysteriously shipwrecking on Eaglerock; and the odd catch was, those who went out as search and rescue would often then find themselves shipwrecking as well. The island seemed to constantly be pulling people in and trapping them. Lauren and Kasey decided to open up a shop in Felhorn until a proper rescue could be made.

Sarauan says very little now and often awakens from his dreams in a trance-like state, similar to sleep walking, but his eyes are wide open – and he never recalls standing up and moving about – but he has vivid dreams of a woman that he can not see – but always hears calling out to him. When he’s in this trance, for some reason, he always faces to the East. This behavior was seen by Aros.
- Lilli Sandmeadow – Lilli is a powerful cleric who actually claims to serve no deity, but has incredible healing abilities. Many turn to her as a messiah that will bring in the dawn of a new age and restore the beauty that once belonged to these lands, before the Great Punishment changed the very landscape. She is a young human, black hair and green eyes, with beautiful bronze colored skin. She as then captured by an Ettin, for a Lamia but rescued by a party of adventurers. The party went on to meet Lilli’s foster parents, Grell Sandmeadow and Nella Sandmeadow who explain a Paladin named Orius Silverstrength had dropped her off as an infant. One of the party members, Adrian Silverstrength choked – as he knew Orius – and had adopted his last name. The party learned that Orius had fallen in love with a Dryad named Danela, and when the Dryad gave birth to Lilli, she gave the infant to Orius to take. This is why Lilli had such strong magical abilities, coming from her mother’s bloodline. Lilli explains a few years ago, she’d sensed her mother’s death when she felt the tie to her mother suddenly and violently get severed. The party with her would eventually travel back in time, after Orius who had planned to stop the cultists from killing Danela – knowing that his actions would have dire consequences. He is stopped and brought back to the normal time. He accepts fate, and embraces Lilli as his daughter, seeing Danela in her – and he embraces Adrian, who had been like a son to him – and realized, he may have lost Danela – but he had a family.

Though he was aging also, he wanted to always be married to a beautiful woman. Using his resources and money, he purchased a Book of Devils & Demons and learned how to not only summon, but control a demon. He struck a deal with a demon to preserve his wife’s beauty. The demon agreed at the cost of a woman’s soul, each time to preserve her beauty. As the years dragged on, the women needed to be younger, and younger, more pure, the demon said. It eventually reached a point that Lord Vernar was abducting female children and infants to sacrifice to the demon to preserve his wife’s beauty. Lady Gale knew nothing of this until recently and wanted it stopped; but discovered that if they stopped, she would die, because her body would suddenly surge forward in age. Lord Vernar was taken prisoner when the demon was defeated by the party.

- Lourna Mauthtar – A brash human female, who is both warrior and rogue – who would do whatever it takes to obtain the power and respect she believe she deserved.

But Don Kannin was able to track her movements – finding that she’d associated with several types of brigands.

- Marius Silverstone – A human mage who served Lord Brenmoon as one of the Artificers, who was known for animating ornate objects to do things around Lord Brenmoon’s Keep (for example, animating armor to stand guard). Marrius was present at the slaughter at Kaltore. Marrius captured an Eladrin who was trapped on the island keeping her inside of a barrier then creating an animated armor to guard her. Marrius hoped to use her to increase his own power. Marius was one of Lord Brenmoon’s most trusted mages, because he often used Marius’ ability and specialty to animate items to be able to spy on those Lord Brenmoon thought might be seeking to conspire against him. An unknown twist of fate would end up killing Marius who remained near the Eladrin he’d captured; his body reanimating itself through his own dark magics, as a Ghast, which was slain by several adventurers.
- Status: Dead (formerly alive, then undead – Eaglerock)
- Marius Vren – A human farmer that lives outside of the Ivory Coast who reported an issue with his livestock disappearing and suspects some form of withcraft – because at the same time, his farmlands remained drenched in mud, though it’d not rained for weeks. Marius claimed to have seen a large, lumbering, shadowy figure that stood anywhere between 15 to18 feet tall – when he was awakened by the sound of his livestock in distress. A group of adventurers were sent to look into the issue.

- Martell Starborn – A human warrior who lived in Westbrook and was madly in love with Airey Moonstone. However, a mad mage by the name of Boris Den kidnapped her and professed his love to her, though she rebuked his advances. Boris Den then kidnapped Martell and left him to starve in his tower, while telling Airey Moonstone that Martell had left her. Before perishing of a slow, painful death, Martell made a pact with a demon named Belaros who was furious that Boris turned away from dark magic to pursue Airey Moonstone (though Boris was still committing horrible acts, such as starving Martell to death). Martell arose as a Wight to get his revenge but was denied the opportunity, when he discovered the explosion had killed both Boris Den and Airey Moonstone. Martell then began using his dark bond to raise the dead; and any he killed, he would also raise to serve him, and before long, all of Westbrook was overrun by the undead. A group of adventurers defeated Martell where he was put to rest once and for all, his soul, forever burning in Hades.

- Mordak / Razathorn – Mordak is an evil wizard who promises knowledge to aspiring wizards, but in truth – enslaves them – marking them with a special tattoo that allows him to summon them back to his tower to do his bidding when he calls on them. Mordak’s Mage Tower is located on the main continent of Tawaim – and the one rule he has is that none of his “students” can go to the Broken Lands (for fear that they might find a form of magic that would allow them to break free of his magical bond). It was eventually discovered by a group of heroes that Mordak took up the name Razathorn on a cursed island called Eaglerock. DM Note – the whole thing with Mordak / Razathorn is that it’s what we call “The Off Week” game, and was just meant to be a series of one offs that took off so well due to the heavy Roleplaying. Because it was an off week game – I allowed my other players to come and go as they please – and that’s what the runes are – to easily explain when a player is not there. The players learned the summoning ritual as long as there were two of them to do the spell – which is how players could easily pop back into the game with the same or new character(s).

- Morgan Asland / Illyanna – Morgan Asland is a succubus who once was banished by a Knight named Orius Silverstrength. She had managed to return to the Prime Material Plane a few years later – changed by what she’d seen in Orius’ conviction. She cast aside her demonic tendencies and took on the illusion of a female blond Tiefling named Illyanna. (DM Note – X-Men fans might know why I used that name!) She revealed her true form as a succubi to a group of adventurers urging them that they must stop Orius – as he’d learned how to travel back in time and he was going to save a Dryad whom he loved – but the rippling effect would have world altering consequences. The party successfully stops Orius – and upon returning, Morgan thanked them – then quickly fled – fearful that Orius would extract revenge for having his planned stopped. In truth, she only adapted a new illusion and observed as Orius embraced his daughter, Lilli and his adopted son, Adrian. She then saw that everyone was capable of change.

N:
- Nallia – Nallia is a Naiad that lives in an underwater cavern located on the Plane of Water. She befriended a group of adventurers who had come to the island in search of food. She told them about a “Serpent Priest” who had come to the island long ago, due to a shipwreck, and began worshipping a “Dark, Serpent God” and taking on sacrifices – capturing and sacrificing (or converting, usually under great duress of their lives) to become followers of the Dark, Serpent God. The adventurers were able to help put an end to the greater mummy priest and restore peace to the island. With their help completed, she also felt that she could trust them with a secret – that she and her people – were the guardians of Karvus‘ final resting place. This very party of adventurers was given a quest to awaken Karvus in hopes of helping defeat the “Dark, Serpent God” and a crazed Beholder, with the knowledge of the God of Wisdom. So there was a good chance, if the party succeeded in their quest, they would be seeing Nallia again.

- Nikalos – Nikalos is thought to be an “urban legend” – there is a story of a large, pale skinned male, with a white, long, flowing beard – who rides upon a flying sleigh – supposedly done so by a Gem of Light & Levitation that allows his front reindeer pulling the sleigh to actually fly. He also has a Bag of Gift Holding, which is said to operate similar to the traditional Bag of Holding – but is full of gifts. Only the pure of heart, they say, can reach into the bag and yield it’s gifts. Nikalos, as he’s been called is said – on the final night of the calendar year – magically enters the home of those with children and leaves gifts for them. What remains a mystery is how he’s able to do this all on the same night – whether the children live in tree tops, crowded cities, or beneath the surface – he somehow gives gifts to all the children. Adventurers have claimed to have seen and helped him from time to time. Those that have helped him have usually been inspired or gifted by Nikalos for their efforts. If he is truly ever in trouble or if this is some kind of “test” remains unknown and feeds the urban legend of the one known as Nikalos.

- Ninesword – The “leader” of the guild known as The Forgotten Sands that operates out of the Broken Lands. The guild is said to be extremely efficent and often kills targets to gain what they want leaving little evidence behind, making most of the deaths appear natural. No information about who or what Ninesword is is known; and some even speculate that “Ninesword” is an alias for several leaders under one name. The Forgotten Sands are bitter enemies with the Ravenclaw guild in Lakefront. SeeAs’zar’vari’tium for more.

- Nor’Orn Greenskin – Nor’Orn Greenskin is a goblin who had ventured into the Dwarven Kingdom in hopes of stealing riches; however, ended up being caught and tortured (for amusement) by the Drow. However, during his tenure of being an abused slave to the Drow, Nor’Orn was also hyper aware and vigilant and would watch, learn, and listen as the Drow alchemists created potions. He began collecting ingredients while enslaved (in some cases improvising ingredients if he couldn’t get enough or the exact) and used a corrosive potion to melt his chain bonds, then an explosive potion (much more explosive then even had intended!) on his abusers. Nor’Orn fled, and has since, avoided being recaptured. At some point, he also found a Cloaker nest during his freedom and raised one, who is now absolutely loyal to him, which Nor’Orn has named “Glider.” Nor’Orn rides on the back of Glider, traveling around the Shadow Realm gathering ingredients. When Dwarves stumbled upon him, he was already half mad – but they realized he despised evil beings because of what he endured at the hands of the Drow and now seeks to put an end to them. This created an alliance between the Dwarves and Nor’Orn. Nor’Orn would trade them fetching him spell components in exchange for creating potions for them that would heal their people. He also traded food and some weapons with the Dwarves in exchange for the potions he was known to make. When the Drow began using their lethal poison (some of which Nor’Orn had originally been present for during his time of being a slave), the Dwarves knew that Nor’Orn might know of a way to counter it. A dwarf by the name of Zar Hammerstone had sent runners to Nor’Orn to gather a list. They returned to Zar with a list, and Zar sent them down to try and recover the components to give to Nor’Orn. None of them every returned. Rex Flamehammer, however, would met a party of adventurers and send them down to find Nor’Orn and see if they could find a cure to the poison.

O:
- Oakwood – Oakwood is a Wood Woad who was captured by the AutoGnome Korton for observation to be taken back to Gnomewhere. During Korton’s travels, Oakwood, one of the few plants able to speak – established a friendship with Korton and was set free to wander around the ship and help Korton. When the “Survey Spelljammer” of Korton was struck by a monster known as a Murder Comet, the Spelljammer spun out of control before crashlanding on Kne’Urth. A party was asked to investigate the crash, and that’s when they met Oakwood as he tried to help one of them fight off a plant that had been gathered for study known as a “Aartuk Starhorror.” The party was able to save the Autognome from self destructing – and Oakwood joined the party as they kept the inert Korton on their wagon.

Onyx tricked some adventurers to handing him an ancient staff of great evil that he would destroy for them; but instead flew off with the staff (which was used to raise undead armies) and channeled its power to raise his deceased brother Ebony. After resurrecting Ebony, Onyx’s whereabouts are currently unknown.

- Ossis (Pre Corruption) / Ossis (Post Corruption)– A Satyr that was captured by Razathorn and Lord Brenmoon and tortured until the secret of “life eternal” was given to them (sometimes called Feypire or Feympire). As payment, once Lord Brenmoon’s transition into a Feypire was complete, he bit Ossis and turned him into one as well, before releasing him. Ossis took refuge in a cave, located behind Glacier Falls on Eaglerock. He was found, given mercy, by a group, after he provided a cure to the Varguille infection. Ossis was later given a cure by the same group, who discovered a way to potentially cure him, thanks to the help of an Eladrin named Celan, and his true form has been restored.

- Pren Flintrock – Pren was one of the runners that Zar Hammerstone had sent down to gather the ingredients for Nor’Orn to make a counter to the poison, which is lethal on weapons – but has also been injected into their water supply, now making the Dwarves sick (though the Drow, who made an alliance with the King have claimed that the Illithid are responsible and that they’ve made an alliance with the Blackoak family). The civil war in Thoridun how has those loyal to the King against the Blackoak clan and any loyal to them. Pren and Zar both align with Blackoak. Pren was (apparently) the sole survivor of a Drow ambush that killed the other runners. Pren was then captured by “Snake People” who had intended to sacrifice him, but he was rescued when several adventurers stumbled upon the pending sacrifice. Pren “helped” the adventurers successfully defeat the Drow Priestess, and later united him with his love, Lady Gemstar, and summoned them both to come to their pyramid in Drastor.

R:
- Rain Amberskies – Daughter to King Sunreach Amberskies, Rain fell in love with a “bad boy” named Wade Mistmorn. Wade was not of Royalty and just a “street urchin” according to Rain’s father, so he disallowed Rain from seeing Wade. Rain eventually ran away with Wade aboard a ship; the two had hope to start their life somewhere new; but Rain’s father had been furious and sent ships after the young couple. Despite orders to not physically attack the vessel, the King’s men had done just that, sinking the ship believing Wade and Rain to be dead after the ship sank, finding no sign of either. The returned, reporting that pirates had sunk the ship. Wade and Rain had washed ashore, where a young Horizonback Tortoise, had been wounded badly and pulled itself ashore to the same island that Wade and Rain had washed upon. The two tended to the animal, which over the years, grew massively in size, and soon would not leave their side. Wade had heard of other creatures enslaving Horizonback Tortoise to use as mobile bases; but Wade had no intention of enslaving it – but the Horizonback Tortoise was their only way off the island. As the years progressed Wade eventually acquired a crew riding upon the back of this Horizonback Tortoise that they named Shipsnapper. Rain and Korra were childhood friends when their parents gathered for political meetings.

- Rak’Grum Bloodseed – Rak’Grum the Orc King, some say (according to legend and lore) was touched by Grumthak and bestowed a knowledge and sense of tranquility not commonly found among orcs. Some even believe he is somehow a direct descendant of Grumthak himself; that the god’s blood coursed through his veins. Hundreds of years ago, when the Orcs viciously battled the Elves for land, it was Rak’grum who created a large alliance of goblins, kobolds, orcs, ogres, bugbears and even trolls (he had tried to have the Hobgoblins come under his command, but they refused to follow him originally). Rak’grum formed a large faction known as The Broken Hand, implying that his god (Grumthak) had been cheated land by Nifika (Goddess of the Elves); and in their view, it was she who cut out Grumthak’s eye intentionally. Under Rak’grum’s leadership, The Broken Hand successfully killed thousands of Elves, Dwarves, and Humans in their raids. He used the Kobolds as scouts (for their small size), goblins for the grunt work, Orcs were his honored warriors, Ogres were the front line tanks, and bugbears were the vicious grunts that tried to maintain control of the animalistic trolls. Legend states a “Shadow Elf” murdered Rak’grum while he slept; and most believe this to be the Ashen Elf, better known as Ashen’Var. This did not break up the Broken Hand, however – it briefly created a power vaccum as orcs fought to take Rak’grum’s place – but soon enough, another Orc was chosen; and the battles continued. It was not until several hundred years later, when the Ashen Elf would appear again with powerful magic that he was able to sunder the Broken Hand. Rak’grum had been buried in the Bloodseed Mountains – a mountain range claimed by the orcs of his bloodline – but rumors have circulated that his crypt has been dug up and his coffin is now missing.

- Rapture, Lord – Lord Rapture (whose real first name has been lost in the various retellings of his origin) was a bard who struck a deal with a demon while at the crossroads (both physically and in life) to become famous. And the demon agreed to help Lord Rapture become famous… however, Lord Rapture was foolish in his deal making. Lord Rapture was playing at a venue, when fire erupted around him – as the people fled – they discovered that the windows and doors all seemed to be magically locked. One hundred people perished in the fire; and Lord Rapture was the sole survivor of it, coming out of it completely unharmed. He became infamous and people wanted to kill him, but he quickly fled. According to the stories that surround this entire incident – the other bards tell it that Lord Rapture was at a crossroads, made a deal with a demon that he wanted to become one of the most famous bards in all the lands. The demon agreed and gifted him a special instrument. And so, after the fire, all the world did know Lord Rapture’s name – just as he’d hoped – but not in the manner he’d anticipated. (And this is why you don’t make deals with demons and devils, kids!) He was destroyed by a party of adventures. Note – Lord Rapture is a reference to Lord Raptor from Darkstalkers.
- Status: Dead (both in living and undead form).

The Tritons are at constant war with the Sahuagin – and the Tritons have allied themselves with the humans and fishermen of Eaglerock. DM Note – Reeko is a reference to Rikuo from Darkstalkers. As noted, I have references to Darkstalkers, Street Fighter, Primal Rage, to name a few of the various things in life I enjoyed.

- Rezo Garus – Rezo was a human who had a small potion shop in Greenhaven. While healing potions were not his specialty (he usually directed people to Trestor’s shop), he made a wide variety of other kinds of potions that often mimicked spell effects. He was an alchemist before becoming shipwrecked on Eaglerock. He was unfortunately arrested due to the belief that he attacked a guard (when in actuality a rogue who did, had placed the guard’s horn in Rezo’s supply wagon). Rezo was thankful rescued by the same rogue and his companions, along with the Crowfeather clan – and taken by the Crowfeather clan for his own safety. (DM Note – When my players asked for the character’s name, I didn’t have one ready – and there was a Coke Zero in front of me – so I jumbled “Zero Sugar” into “Rezo Garus”).
- Status: Alive (Eaglerock, recruited to the Crowfeather rebellion)

- Riezor – Human farmer in Greenhaven, located on Eaglerock, known for his fresh apples (which, when consumed grant Inspiration – however, they lose this ability within 2 hours of being picked – so only freshly picked apples create this effect). He became rapid friends with another resident of Eaglerock named Ramgor, who took Galiena to Greenhaven on a date. While there, it was attacked by demons who leaped into Scarecrows; followed by Vargouilles; and it’s clear this is a fairly common problem. (Lord Brenmoon does not want people consuming the apples that inspire, and get the idea of rebelling against his rule)

- Relgar Thornwhip – Relgar is a human wizard, who has been enslaved by Razathorn and operates out of Razathorn’s home, at the edge of Felhorn. Relgar, while in Razathorn’s presence, will swear loyalty to him – and do whatever evil task is asked of him; but in truth, he is working against Razathorn and hopes to bring him down. He’s begun working with a group of heroes, providing them information about the current happenings on Eaglerock. Relgar has asked the party to go to the haunted Starfall Estate and look for a secret passage – there should be a Quasit and a book on Demonology somewhere in the Estate – and with that info, he may be able to find a way to start undoing what Razathorn and Lord Brenmoon have done.

- Rex Flamehammer – Resident of Thoridun, who had nearly perished fighting a Drow ambush near the Gates of Thoridun. The Drow had been attempting to seal the Gates so that no outside help could come to aid the Dwarves. Rex met a party of adventurers and explained the current unrest. He explained that the Drow use a very lethal poison in their attacks (and on themselves, should they get captured) that rapidly decomposes a body, which has made proving the Drow plot very difficult to prove.

- Ruughar Stonesmasher – Ruughar is a Duergar slaver who encountered a party who had come down into the caves he calls home. Originally he had intended to enslave them, but when they mentioned they were after “the bat-boy” – he knew he could use them to go get rid of the “bat-boy” who commanded the stirges and a bane to the Duergar – then, after they were coming back, would enslave them all at that time.

- Saric Guardstone, King – Human King of Guardstone. Saric’s brother Ty sought, not only the throne of Guardstone, but his brother’s wife, Bella as well. Ty aligned himself with an organization of orcs known as the Broken Hand in order to assist him in overthrowing his brother (and hopefully killing him and his son), thus making him the sole heir to Guardstone. In exchange, he promised the Broken Hand some of the richest beneath the castle’s vault. During the coupe, Ty was cursed by King Saric’s clerics to take form of the very beast his heart portrayed; thus turning him into what legends referred to as a Minotaur. In his furious rage, Ty lost control of his emotions and killed Bella during the coupe. Saric was forced to escape with his most trusted knights; but he was separated from his son and daughter during the chaos of the assault. He presumed both to be dead when he had not heard from either in the two years that followed. Castle Guardstone fell to ruin with the Broken Hand orcs warring with other races he also sought the treasures rumored to be in Castle Guardstone’s vault. The party found and rescued Saric’s son from an evil mage; and returned the boy to the dethroned king, who now resided in the small town not far from the fallen castle. Saric hired the adventurers to travel into the castle and seek out his wife’s jewelery; the only thing he has left of hers. In doing so, the adventurers encountered Ty, still stuck in his cursed form and put him to rest; and discovered that he had kept Saric’s daughter chained in the dungeon those past two years. She was happily returned to her father.

A group seeking to find a cure for the Vargouille bite their friend had gotten was eventually able to summon Shelly’s spirit forward. Their plea is met with acceptance as she tells them that there’s a tome in her home that will have the information they seek.

Shorkil had been one of the few survivors of a shipwreck and came to the manor in hopes of finding help. Dennin fed him, then infected him with Lycanthropy – and used him to keep the occassional zombie that would rise near the manor, at bay. When a Tiefling named Varr Torodon came to the manor, after a shipwreck – they ambushed him and in the ensuing fight, Varr dropped a magical dagger known as “Lycan Blade” or “Lycan Biter” (to Lycanthropes). Shorkil took possess of the blade when he found it, as he was the “groundskeeper” and spent more time outside the manor.

She eventually learned to wield magic, very powerful magic, which made her raise in the ranks of the Feywild; but the magic she learned was dark and sinister, and took what was once pure and innocent and twisted her into shadow and darkness. It is said, she even came into contact with a vampire (some of the stories claim she demanded to be turned, then killed the vampire – though this is all unconfirmed). Solas grew into such power that she became an Archfey, and often called upon by Warlocks. (DM Note – This was actually an Archfey I made for my Warlock in another game; that game didn’t last long but I was too in love with both the photo and the idea of a Pixie reaching Archfey status, so I brought her into Kne’Urth).

First he was raising dead miners to work in the dangerous mines so no one else would be harmed; but the town began to revolt at the use of necromancy. A group of adventurers defeated Suratin and took the Staff, which then attempted to possess them. The party encountered the black dragon, Onyx, outside who said he would take the staff from them. One of the adventurers took Suratin’s head; which later animated itself in Lakefront, when it sensed great magical power once again. The party was forced to fight him again and this time destroyed the skull.

Her father was beyond furious and believed (or so he told everyone) that Wade had abducted her – and demanded his fleet to go after her – but to not attack the ship. Simply follow and capture her when the time was right. However, for reasons unknown, the King’s men attacked the ship Wade and Rain had been on, sinking it, and claiming pirates had done it, so Sunreach believes his daughter to have been killed by pirates.

- Twilight Skybane – A female Tiefling bard, aboard the Destiny’s Courtship. Twilight Skybane is a young, female Tiefling, who has spent most of her life seeking out the inner beauty of things – mostly because her demonic appearance, from being a Tiefling has frightened the people of smaller, superstitious towns, villages and hamlets. She frequently used her disguise kit to disguise herself when entering these smaller towns. Hearing news of a new continent that many people were sailing to, Twilight booked passage aboard the “Destiny’s Courtship” – however, over the course of the three week sailing trip from Tawaim to Vareen (the unofficial name of the new continent, meaning “the new land” in the Ancient Elven tongue), Twilight found that the unusual crew of the Destiny’s Courtship did not judge her – as a matter of fact, the ship itself was made up of an unusual crew which included an male Aasimar by the name of Haylin Stormlight, a female Tabaxi named Prellena Glintclaw, a male Kenku who ironically maintained the crow’s nest (due to his ability to have a booming voice) named (again, ironically) Whisper, and a female Triton named Rita Naom, and rounding up the unusual crew was the captain, a female Minotaur named Krella Wavebreaker. The crew enjoyed and welcomed Twilight’s music – and rather than disembarking when reaching Vareen – Krella asked her to officially become a part of the crew, which Twilight accepted. Twilight became the crew’s main source of musical and story entertainment. On the first night Twilight played the song The Stars Returned which tells of an epic tale of heroes who defeated a great and powerful elf driven mad by rage, Gem which is Krella’s blue macaw flew to Twilight’s shoulder and tried to imitate her singing. Gem has since then, never left Twilight’s side – often try to mimic her vocal talents. Twilight has even managed to integrate Gem’s antics into her story telling. DM Note – Twilight was originally meant to be an NPC for a game; but I had someone control her – and they ended up being a part of that game going forward.

- Utillia Doomsilk – The wife of Goarus Doomsilk, Utillia was once hailed one of the most beautiful Drow in the Shadowvale. When the Drow had ambushed a group of adventurers, looking for more slaves (and people to murder and torture) – they discovered that the adventurers had just returned from the Broken Lands and had several unusual magic items and a tome of ancient knowledge. The High Priestess had Goarus begin translating the tome, and he discovered, long ago, in times long forgotten the Dark Elves worshiped a spider goddess named L’orak’ana – otherwise known as Lolth, who was said to be half Dark Elf and Half Spider – who had ascended into godhood through magic. The tome spoke of a way of binding her soul to a powerful Priestess to return to the world; the tome also spoke of how to make female beings that were half spider half Drow. The High Priestess demanded that Goarus learn how this could be accomplished – and after several failed experiments and magic (often creating horrific beings) – Goarus believed he had finally learned how it could be done. The Priestess demanded that his wife, Utillia be the first Drider to be born of this magic. Despite Goarus’ protests, his wife accepted – and became the first Drider. The Priestess demanded all females, when they reach the age of maturity either worship her since she would soon ascend as the embodiment of Lolth, and/or become Driders. Males were used for all the hard labor and had low standing in the Drow organization, which further upset Goarus. However, in order to protect his wife, he gave her a magic bow that had been found with the adventurers. Utillia was killed when a group of adventures, allied with Nor’Orn, killed her as she rushed to her husband’s aid.

- Verastin – Often referred to as a “demon” Verastin was actually once an Angel, who during the war, had become so obsessed with cleansing the world of evil, that his view on what constituted “evil” became blurred, so even the slightest of slights, was deemed an act of evil, and thus, to be killed. Verastin was cast from the heavens and pinned by an arrow (some legend describes it as a spear) by the goddess, Lynzee, which imprisoned him on the mortal plane. The arrow grew to a great, giant tree, that became defended by Dryads and many fey; however, cultists managed to capture the Dryad protecting the tree and enacted an ancient ceremony that allowed Verastin to break free. When he broke free, the Dryad’s life being endanger lured the sacred unicorn of the woods, which Verastin then killed with the Unicorn’s own horn and used dark magic to turn it into a Nightmare beast (black horse with fiery hooves, mouth, eyes, tail) and rode into the western skies.

- Vren Ka’rall, Mayor – Human mayor The Sinking City in Tawaim.

The Sloping Port was named such, because when the construction began on the port (after several ancient temples rose from the marshes and generated interest in those seeking treasure) sunk into the land, due to the marsh. A city was built a little ways away from the port, but eventually the city itself seemed to sink towards the port; and thus the two have (un)officially been combined as one.

Rain eventually ran away with Wade aboard a ship; the two had hope to start their life somewhere new; but Rain’s father had been furious and sent ships after the young couple. Despite orders to not physically attack the vessel, the King’s men had done just that, sinking the ship believing Wade and Rain to be dead after the ship sank, finding no sign of either.

Taverns, Stores & Inns:
- Alashamar Alkalhara (which translates to The Eternal Sun) is an Inn in Drastor. It was the sole inn to survive the blue dragon attack (see Session 69). The Inn was first mentioned in Session 59.
- Daggerpoint – Located in Tawaim, it’s a single tower located near The Wyvern’s Nest. Daggerpoint is nothing more than a tower in the side of the mountain. Approximately 20 people work there (and tend to live there). Their sole purpose is to broadcast messages from their tower to the next (whether it’s coming from Greystone or Highview). The latest residents of Daggerpoint were slain brutally in an attack by a small group of Orcs of the Broken Hand, led by their Orc Priest, Gra’mar. The Orcs were recently defeated by the party; and King Saric is sending new people to clean up and take residence in Daggerpoint so the message towers can continue to function.
- Das’hunar Kaldhabi – It is a bathhouse that is next to the Alashamar Alkalhara. The bathhouse suffered great damage during the blue dragon attack. (see Session 69) The name of the bathhouse translates to “the golden shower” (and it’s not that kind of golden shower, people – but rather that the sand dunes look like endless waves)

- The White Fang Inn and Tavern – The only tavern in the small village of Felhorn, located on Eaglerock.
Landmarks / Areas:
- The Great Hills – Just north of the Ivory Coast, the Great Hills are named as such, because of their size. There are endless stories about how cults gather in the Great Hills to do unholoy ceremonies. DM Note – The Great Hills was modeled after an area in San Diego I live near called Proctor Valley. There are tons of stories and urban legends that surround Proctor Valley Road in San Diego, including Cult activities. There was even a comic released by Grant Morrison and Boom! Comics called Proctor Valley Road.
- The Tower of Magi – In the year 400, the Tower of the Magi was constructed. The Tower of the Magi is a means for Mages of any walk (Sorcerer, Warlock or Wizard) to be able to travel to. Speculation (though never confirmed) is that the Tower’s stones were made from the rocks of Faye Isle (simply because the island is known to move its location as well). Most of the knowledge in regards to magic was lost between 450 and 400, when paranoia against all Magic had reached it’s greatest heights. Towers were mages studied were burned down, mages were ruthlessly hunted down and killed. Now, within the Tower of Magi, what little knowledge could be saved is now kept safe. Select Mages remain within the Tower of Magi, dedicating their lives to restoring volumes of magic that they knew, or are learning, for others to one day master. While, outside the Tower of Magi, the different Mages may dislike one another, within the Tower of Magi, fighting is forbidden.
- Wizards frown upon Sorcerers, because they are born with their magical abilities, rather than taking the time to study and master the magic in the world. So most Wizards find Sorcerers to be uneducated and careless.
- Sorcerers have no problem with Wizards, though they do find themselves frequently being accused of being “reckless and casting magic carelessly without thought of consequence.” This sometimes creates a slight tension.
- More can be found on the Tower of Magi page.
- The Mother Tree – Sometimes called The Ancient Tree or The Great Sky Spear. There is a massive tree located in the Jade Forest stands taller than any other, and the branches weave in and out, creating intricate designs. The base of the tree is so wide (roughly around 300 feet). The roots at the base of the massive tree, even create safe areas where someone could take shelter and hide. The Mother Tree is a sacred tree to the Druids. They believe that her roots reach out and touch every plant, no matter what continent – and that it is able to feel the destruction of any tree. (Legend even states that when a forest is burned down, the Mother Tree’s leaves turn brown and fall, in mourning). The Mother Tree is also protected by a Unicorn (that’s been known to take a Human or Elf form, adopting the name “Aurora”). In this form, she’s often asked for the aid of adventurers to protect the Mother Tree, or even nearby woods. Those will good hearts, or good intentions, who take shelter at the base of the Mother Tree will find they get the most peaceful sleep, and they will not be attacked during the night/day. Many even claim to have received healing while sleeping at the base of the Mother Tree. The origin of the Mother Tree, according to Lore, is that the arrow that Nifika, goddess of Magic, fired her arrow that took out Grumthak’s eye (see Timeline of the Gods for more details); the arrow had been thrown down from the heavens and struck the world below – and bloomed into the Mother Tree. It would explain the unique nature of the tree (no other tree like it exists in the world so far), as well as it’s incredible width and height. The magical properties of the Mother Tree, go even further – that, according to witnesses, an ancient Green Dragon named Emereth, tried to destroy the tree because it despised it’s beauty – and the tree was able to withstand the dragon’s breath, and able to repel the dragon’s claw and bite attacks. However, tragedy struck in 1,185 when a cult managed to lure the Dryad out. By placing her in danger, they had also managed to lure the Unicorn of the Jade Forest. Sacrificing the Dryad to an ancient dark evil, allowed the “demon” (which turned out to be a Fallen Angel) free. The Fallen Angel then snapped the Unicorn’s horn from its head and plunged into the heart of the Unicorn; turning it into a Nightmare, for the Fallen Angel to escape upon. The Jade Forest has since fallen to dark corruption and is no longer a safe place to travel… especially at night.
- The Ivory Coast – The Ivory Coast is named for the bone (rib cage) like structure that protrudes out of the ocean, like an ivory cage in the bay. Dives to examine the origin of the massive, ivory cage show that they’re rooted deep into the earth. Until the recent return of the Dragons into the world; the origin of the Ivory Coast was thought to be based in legend. It had been said, long, long ago – when the world was first created, a great hero of the heavens battled a dragon in the heavens. After a thousand years of battle, the hero finally claimed victory and the dragon fell not from the sky – but the very heavens itself – and crashed into the world. Because of the shape of the bay, it appears it might have been from a large impact of something – possibly that of a dragon (due to the width on each side of the ivory cage in the bay). The ivory bones, if they are that of a dragon – measured from the surface of the ocean to their height – is well over two hundred feet (and that does not include whatever may be buried beneath the ocean floor). The lore around the ivory bones is that Valingard, during the war of the heavens, killed an ancient dragon, unlike any seen before – who then fell from the skies and crashed into the land. Some even believe, that would explain some of the Ivory Coast’s unusual sea creatures that have been spotted by sailors coming to and leaving the Ivory Coast, believing the evil dragon’s taint changed the ocean drastically.
- The Shadow Realm – There are several stories that speak of the origins of the Shadow Stone Realm; but the accepted truth is that the god of ancient beasts, Terrorskew was slumbering in hibernation when the new gods arrived to the world. They saw a world, full of chaos, and giant raging beasts. Only humans existed on the world, but they were barely intelligent; relying on primitive weapons and communicating, if that, only through grunts and growls. There was no civilization, no cities, no laws – only roving tribes of men who ruled by violence and aggression. Believing they could do better, the new gods all agreed that the world must be remade, because there was no saving what already existed. Florasena had Jarisfargen reforge the world. Mounts of stone fell from Jarisfargen’s mighty forge, down to the world – and caused earthquakes, tidal waves, tsunamis and violent storms that destroyed most of the life on the world. Those that did survive were buried deep beneath the stone, miles and miles away from the surface world. When Terrorskew awoke from hibernation, he was enraged to see his precious creatures (dinosaurs) virtually extinct in the world. Furious, he tried to fight the new gods, but their combined might drove him back. He swore he would extract his revenge, and with his ability to create life, would take existing animals and reshape them – hoping to create, what he would call “The God Killer.” Some of his attempts to shape the God Killer resulted in new creatures that now exist throughout the world, such as the Basilisk, Behir, Hydra, Kraken, before creating his God Killer – the Tarasque. Terrorskew’s hatred consumed him so much – but he realized that none of these new gods realized that there was life beneath the miles of stone that the dwarven god, Jarisfargen, had buried. Terrorskew discovered that hundreds of stronger, primitive humans from his version of the world survived in the darkness. He turned to them and granted them great power; since they still had not formed any form of language, he gave them the telepathic ability to communicate, and empowered their minds so much so, that they could tap into the minds of other living creatures; and found that by devouring the brains of those who possessed intelligence, their own intelligence would increase – and thus began the hunger for brains. These savage humans continued to evolve their minds, but also their bodies, and would soon earn the name Mind Rippers. Terrorskew used his godly, dark magic to then manipulate all the creates in this area he deemed ‘The Shadow Stone’ realm. Once normal creatures were modified and changed in order to adapt and survive in the harsh conditions of the Shadow Stone realm. Terrorskew’s own hatred and anger for the new gods, poured into the essence of each of these creatures that lived here – forgotten, deep, down in the dark; and each decade that passed, they seemed to grow more powerful, more insane, and more evil, all because of Terrorskew’s fury. His plan changed – he would not kill the gods, as he had originally planned. Instead, he saw how these new gods regarded their new rendition of the world that was once his; how they loved the lush green forests, the beautiful elves, the hard working dwarves, the ever expanding humans. Terrorskew’s new plan was no longer to destroy the gods; but to strike deeper and destroy the very things they loved. Such creatures as: Ankheg, Behir, Beholders, Bullette, Carrion Crawler, Cloaker, Darkmantle, Displacer Beasts, Grell, Grick, Hook Horror, Nothic, Owl Bears, and of course Mind Rippers, are just some of the vicious creatures that dwell in the Shadow Stone Realms. Others were eventually made, either by exposure, or through experiments by Mind Rippers, such as the Duegar, Deep Gnomes, and Intellect Devourers to just name a few. A group of dwarves, seeking a unique metal to forge their weapons and armor, were the first ones responsible to breaking the barrier between the “upper” world and the Shadow Stone Realm, when one of their tunnels collapsed and created massive opening. Hundreds of creatures raided the dwarven kingdoms as a result, and some escaped into the outside world. The hole between the Shadow Stone Realm, and the now abandoned dwarven kingdom grows larger and larger every single day as more stones collapse and fall into the Shadow Stone Realm. Wizards who have been studying the widening gap fear that it is Terrorskew’s doing – and that somewhere in the Shadow Stone Realm awaits the God Killer – to be unleashed upon the world above.
- The Wildthorn Woods – Located in Tawaim, the Wildthorn Woods are fiercely protected by a group of Wild Elves who broke off from Quan’rath (the main home of the High Elves). The Wild Elves developed their own society within the woods, rather than being confined within stone walls like the High Elves of Quan’rath. The Wild Elves uses removable tattoo through berries, to mark their faces (so that they distinguish what tribe and what their job/rank within the tribe is). The Wild Elves will let others into the woods, so long as they do not upset the balance of the woods. If someone begins hunting for the sport, or cutting down trees, the Wild Elves will attempt to drive the invaders out (killing only if the beings are truly evil and bent on destroying the woods or the balance of nature). The Wild Elves use a specific bird whistle to signal one another, as a way of communicating while in the woods. The Wildthorn Woods is full of all kinds of wild life (most of which, also avoids the Crater). There is said to be a Unicorn that calls the Wildthorn Woods its home, but only a very select few have ever been blessed to see it.
- The Deep Crater – Located in Tawaim, which according to Elven Lore, a large stone fell from the heavens and struck the land, decimating a portion of the Wildthorn Woods. The Wild Elves believed it was an attack from Grumthak (God of War and Orcs). The strike happened almost 1,500 years ago – and vegetation has since grown. However, the Crater is about 100’ deep into the ground. The Wild Elves have tried to explore the inner Crater, but found unusual, and typically violent creatures lived there; perhaps corrupted by the foul magic of “Grumthak’s Stone” (as the Wild Elves call it). As a result, the Wild Elves typically avoid journeying into the Crater. Rather, they patrol around it, to ensure that the vile things that have made their home in the Crater do not escape into the woods and cause havoc there.
- Frost Peak – A city located near the very top of the mountain that Ridgecrest is built into the side of. Frost Peak is so high that the chilling winds can freeze someone who is not properly dressed. The people of Frost Speak celebrate the day of Nikalos by gathering around “The Mother Tree” – the first tree in Frost Peak that is said to give life to the other trees. The Mother Tree is a female, ancient treant. A white dragon named Snowclaw is known to reside nearby. Frost Peak was the center of an issue during the day of Nikalos, which a party was able to help with.
- Everstone Keep – Everstone Keep is the primary castle of the ruling king on the Plane of Earth. The current ruler is Lord Greymountain.
- Shadow Sea Kingdom – An underwater kingdom near Shadow Island, populated by mer-folk. It first was seen in Shadow Island, Session 04.
Towns/Cities:
- Felhorn (some spell it Fellhorn since the “Curse” began) is a small coastal village in Eaglerock.
- Greenhaven – a large island covered in fauna – no humanoids are known to exist on the island which is covered in lush jungles and forests, animals are abundant, and so are various rare herbs used for medical purposes. There is an agreement along the trading route that those who come here only take what they need and never establish the island with humanoid civilization to preserve it’s beauty and riches.
- Greystone – located in Tawaim in the Plains of Terran. The population is about 800 people originally; however it was burned down by the orc tribe known as The Broken Hand leaving less than 50 survivors from the attack. Those few survivors made their way to Guardstone.
- Guardstone – Located on the western shore of the Plains of Terran on Tawaim, it contains several temples, and most major supplies.
- Havar – A small island between Tawaim and “Vareen” which is a small mining island, rich with steel. Primarily inhabited by humans. Very primitive town despite it’s richness in trades.
- Korvask / Fourstone – A small hamlet located on Eagle Rock, it was founded by the Korvask family whose ship had been drawn and crashed into the jagged stones surrounding Eagle Rock. Others, who had shipwrecked, eventually also found Korvask, and the town was renamed as Fourstone, named after the four core families who made up Korvask now. The name is interchangeable (as some still call it Korvask, while others call it Fourstone).
- Quan’rath – Located in Tawaim, it is in the center of Skytree Forest. Massive temple of Nifika, Goddess of Magic (and favored by the Elves). There are other temples for the other members of The Circle, however, they are mostly there for the Elves to visit and give thanks for their hand in the creation of the world. In the eyes of the Elves, all of the members of the Circle appear as Elves. Quan’rath is led by a single elf, always a male, who forgoes their name and adopts the title of Sovereign of the Stars, making Quan’rath a theocracy. The Sovereign of the Stars is said to communicate directly with Nifika. Quan’rath is a city populated by the High Elves, who got their name because they believe they are the “highest” in the chain among “mortals.” Quan’rath is an elegant city, made of stone with spiraling towers, endless gardens and sparkling fountains; a city, whose beauty goes unmatched. Historical documents show that the High Elves once simply dwelt in Skytree Forest; but as the humans continued to encroach on their territory, they retreated to the center of Skytree Forest and built Quan’rath to protect themselves from the greed and ugliness they saw in humans. The elves that disagreed with the idea of surrounding themselves in stone walls and spoke against the Sovereign of the Stars (something that was unheard of in Elven culture) were outcast and simply became known as Wild Elves.
- Rockhome – Located in Tawaim, it is home to primarily 1,000 gnomes; Only contains one temple, and that is to Bargledar, whom the Gnomes worship. While they acknowledge the other gods and goddesses, they do not find the need to build a temple in Rockhome, because every gnome believes only in Bargledar. Within the Gnomish Kingdom; Rockhome is a large, spacious area where the gnomes have steel pipes running throughout all of the mountain in a crisscross pattern, harvesting the steam pouring up from the volcano below. A massive river pours into the volcano’s open; a river that the Gnomes call Bargledar’s Regret (believing it’s his tears that fill the river) that generates the steam that is harvested by the gnomes.
- Skotland – located in the Northern Terrain in Tawaim focused primarily in trading furs, made up of locals, consisting solely of humans – an extremely cheery set of people, who celebrate with drinking and singing. They are suspicious of anyone who isn’t human or uses magic and highly superstitious.
- Skyland – A small island between Tawaim and Vareen, whose population consists of dwarves. The story of how these dwarves got on the island varies, depending on which dwarf you ask and how intoxicated they are; but the most common version is that a large band of dwarves had been enslaved and captured – and brought on a ship, which ran aground on this island. The dwarves rebelled against their captors and earned their freedom. However, with a destroyed ship and not familiar with sailing or making ships, the dwarves remained here and made a glorious city which primarily is known for its buildings and weapon/armor making (getting most of it’s steel from ships bringing it over from Havar).
- Sinking City – Located in Tawaim, populated by 2,100 people, it was located in the Southern Marshes. There are no temples to any of the gods or goddesses; however, there is rumored to be several (feuding) thieves guilds.
- Thoridun – Dwarven city located beneath Blue Ridge Mountain which is just southwest of Spire’s Edge. The current King is King Thariak Firestorm.
- Thalaustrea – It’s a small island. Waesyn is from there.
- Wyvern’s Nest – located in Tawaim between Greystone and Daggerpoint, the small town had a population of about 80 people. It has a few temples and merchant guilds.
Guilds:
- Black Swan, The – A Thieves guild in Lower Ridgecrest, mostly composed of infected humans who are Wererats (though they prefer the term “Ratlings”).
- Coven of Blackmore, The – According to legend, Blackmore, was a grand city that even the gods would visit in humanoid disguises – the kingdom prospered greatly – until one day, it simply vanished – as if there was never a city there – there was no evidence of buildings, people – nothing – just barren land where a city once stood proud. Through history – the exact location of where this city once stood has now changed hundreds of times – but from what Sindri is able to uncover is that this Coven of Hags seems to have originated from this fabled city. Most of the runes that he and Arhian and Sindri had copied from the side of a magical house were so ancient – that he’s forced to dig out tomes which are protected by the Wizardly Order of the Ivory Coast because of how fragile these ancient tomes are.
- The Forgotten Sands is a Thieves Guild that supposedly operates all throughout the Broken Lands having bases in several half buried temples and pyramids in the endless deserts.
- Lion’s Maw – Operates out of the Ivory Vale. In constant combat with The Raven’s Claw. The Lion’s Maw had traded a Giant Slayer to another guild that had been passing through the Ivory Vale called The Forgotten Sands. The guild has operations that run beneath the majority of the Ivory Vale. Many of their operatives work out of The Lion’s Pride Inn. The current leader of the Lion’s Maw is Elrik. Elrik is a half-elf, brown hair, hazel eyes, thin beard. Scar over his left eye (apparently from a lion attack, for which the inn is named after; the lion’s head hangs over the bar)
- The Night Blades – formerly located in Guardstone, under a group of adventurers discovered them. The member list included:
- One of the members, the leader:Human named Arakzar. Though he is a thief, he’s actually quite muscular. Led the Night Blades through brute force. Some suspect that somewhere in his blood line there is a touch of Orc somewhere along the lines (which would also explain why he sympathized with the Orcs of the Broken Hand and was smuggling equipment to fund their army).
- Arakzar was defeated and killed by the party in the caves.
- Chirun, Brother to Arakzar, he was the second in command. Where his brother was all strength, Chriun was all brains and extremely clever and deceptive. It was Chriun who managed to get several of the members of the Night Blades into the King’s Circle to allow them access to the equipment that was being smuggled.
- Chirun died when a piercer fell through his chest
- Frenur is a half-elf mage, who was known to have a strong hatred for humans (his father was a brigand who raped his mother and left her to die). Thus, Frenur sympathized with the Orcs of the Broken Hand, knowing they sought to destroy the human. Frenur had planned on turning on the Orcs, according to what your guild learned, when the Broken Hand was going to turn their attention to the Elves.
- Frenur was killed by the Wild Elves of Wildwood when the thieves initially entered the forest.
- Prenstar is a human cleric who worshipped the evil god, Sarenthar. He was the one that was the primary healer for the Thieve’s Guild.
- Prenstar was killed after reviving Arakzar, as Ariana cast Hold Person and Luna shot an arrow that delivered a killing blow.
- Quan’reel. Quan’reel was a Halfling who was a part of the Night Blades, simply because he was bored. When they began smuggling items to the Broken Hand, he began having his doubts about them, but it was too late once a warrant was issued for his arrest, he knew his only chance was to remain with them.
- Quan’reel had briefly been captured by the party, but released because they had not realized who he was. Quan’reel’s current whereabouts are unknown.
- Blackstone is an evil, dwarven paladin who follows Skortaurian, the god of Spite. Blackstone had murdered some of his own clan in a fit of rage once, when alcohol had gotten the best of him. Though his tolerance level for the consumption of alcohol is ridiculously high, so is his violent temper. When his people sought to arrest him, Blackstone fled and rejected his people and began his dark path as an unholy Paladin.
- Blackstone was defeated and killed by Bodrag in the caves.
- Brin is a Grey Elf who lost his way. He met Blackstone when the dwarf was just beginning his journey into darkness, having fled from his people. Brin hung out with Blackstone, with the idea he might be able to save the helpless dwarf. However, Brin found himself in compromised positions time and time again, due to Blackstone’s rage, and soon found himself on the other side of the law frequently.
- Brin was unfortunately killed by a Carrion’s Crawler. His body was discovered when the party was attacked by the same Carrion Crawler, and it’s guts had been cut open during combat.
- Ureath is a human thief, who seeks to gain as much money as he can, as quickly as he can, no matter who he steps on. Ureath had planned to eventually try and overthrow Arakzar, until their smuggling operation was discovered, and they were forced to flee.
- Ureath was unfortunately killed by Harpies down in the Crater. His body was discovered by the party, on the river bed.
- Ionacular. She is a female human who met Brin in Guardstone. She found herself very attracted to him, despite his warning that she was better off away from him. She had pieced together that Brin was a part of the thieves guild, and began stealing in hopes of gaining his favor. Realizing that she was going to land in jail because she didn’t know what she was doing, Brin brought her before Arakzar and had asked him to allow her to join. Despite her lack of experience, Arakzar agreed because Brin was associated with Blackstone, who Arakzar thought was useful for the upcoming war against the other Thieves Guild he had planned (before the smuggling operation ruined that).
- Ionacular was captured by Bugbears. The party killed the Bugbears, but realizing who she was, quickly captured Ionacular as she tried to flee (during the party’s combat with the Bugbears). She was stripped of all her belongings and tied to a tree. Her current whereabouts (whether alive or dead, remain unknown).
- Argus is a gnome who works for the Night Blades, creating gadgets to help them improve breaking into more secure homes.
- When the Night Blades first came into the Crater, they were almost immediately attacked by a creature known as a Anhkhong. Argus’ body was found near by, after the same creature attacked the party.
- Dreadblade is a human fighter who thrives on killing. Though he is not a good thief, Arakzar thought his warrior skills would be of great use in the coming Thieves Guild War (once again, had not the smuggling operation been discovered). Dreadblade will always fight to the death, no matter the odds.
- Much like the leader (perhaps the only person he respected), Arakzar, Dreadblade was a victim to Tenjii’s poison that paralyzed him in the middle of combat, and eventually found himself killed by the party.
- Everella is a young, female elf who was traded to the Night Blades by someone who could not pay their debts. She has since been a servant to the Night Blades, and is treated horribly. She will not hesitate to flee from them if she can or betray them.
- She was not found with the Night Blades in the cave, and no tracks indicated she was around. She may have abandoned the Night Blades before entering the caves, or perhaps even before then. Her current whereabouts are unknown.
- One of the members, the leader:Human named Arakzar. Though he is a thief, he’s actually quite muscular. Led the Night Blades through brute force. Some suspect that somewhere in his blood line there is a touch of Orc somewhere along the lines (which would also explain why he sympathized with the Orcs of the Broken Hand and was smuggling equipment to fund their army).
- The Nightshells – These are “pirates” who operate in the Plane of Water, run by Wade Mistmorn and Rain Amberskies; which is on the back of a massive horizonback turtle. The crew now has about 40 members in total.
- The Raven Claw / Ravenclaw – The largest Thieves Guild in the Ivory Coast, and known for smuggling weapons and armor in and out of the Ivory Coast for a hefty price. They also have an operation that works out of Lakefront, where their leader Kin Ravenclaw typically can be found.
- The Coven of the Fallen Star – A group of five hags escaped the prison of the Merfolk of the Shadow Sea Kingdom just off the shore of Shadow Island. The five hags had wreaked havoc through the portals that opened all around Shadow Island – and eventually entered to continue the chaos, and were captured by the Merfolk. The five coven members managed to escape.
- Jarnius, the Sea Hag (“The Sea Witch”)
- Keeluh, the Green Hag
- Bortorada, the Annis Hag
- Teurur, the Night Hag
- Chillarah, the Bheur Hag, leader of the Coven
- They are known as the Coven of the Fallen Star due to each of them possesses a small star fragment that binds them together. The purpose of this star fragment or where they got it remains unknown. But they all stood in a circle as a complete coven and were extremely powerful.
Drinks / Food / Plants / Animals:
- Deep Weed – Named after the seaweed which is found at extreme depths, when crushed and placed into a drink, it can make the intended target very suggestive to ideas that they’re already akin to. Deep Weed was first discovered on the bodies of Sahuagin in the Garagin Depths on the continent of Vareen. The Sahuagin consume it as food (either they’ve grown immune to its effects, or their leaders insist they consume, to ensure the Sahaugin follow their commands). When Rogues discovered its properties, they began paying sailors who found and killed Sahuagin and find the Deep Weed on their bodies, to bring it back and the Rogues will pay for it. Rogues often use it to spike someone’s drink who is making a trade or purchase from them, to make them more suggestive towards paying a higher price for the item the intended target wants. Deep Weed is first mentioned in Session 33 of the Discovery game.
- Doramar – Doramar is a plant that, when grinded down, causes drowsiness when consumed. Doramar is most typically used by some who do not have magic but need to medically attend to someone with grievous wounds. Doramar will put the victim to sleep rapidly and for a brief time make them immune to pain as it dulls the nerves in the victim’s body. However, Doramar has been known to used in malicious ways as well, often put in drinks to knock victims out.
- The Dragon’s Breath is an extremely potent alcoholic beverage that one mug will cause even the most hearty of people to fall on the floor, intoxicated. The exact ingredients that make up the drink are known only to a few select Dwarves from Tawaim. Dragon’s Breath is first mentioned in The Adventurers, Session 06.
- Vikarus – It’s a potato and barley alcoholic beverage made with 7 Gallons of Water, 25 Pounds of Potatoes, 5 Pounds of Crushed Malted Barley, Mash Pot, Heat Source, and a Long Spoon. Vikarus became very popular on islands that did not have a main trade to other islands, and relied firmly on farms. Vikarus is first mentioned in Servants of the Wizard, Session 04.
- Kalisin – An extremely rare plant whose fruits are full of natural sugar (and when freshly picked, grant the sensation of Inspiration – explained as a “sugar high”). The plant only blooms during the Hollowing. Kalisin was first mentioned in the Servants of the Wizard game, Session 12.
- Levican Powder – A mixture of extremely strong peppers, crushed down to an extremely fine dust; and when inhaled can snap someone back to their senses – including removing the sensation of intoxication (Note – it does not actually sober them up; but the fine powder is so strong that the brain synapsis fire so rapidly that the person will feel as if they’re sober), It is first mentioned in Servants of the Wizard, Session 15.
- Ollmhor kelp – Can reach heights of 100 to 175 feet tall and creates a dense forest like structure on the deep, ocean floor. It’s well known to be around the Shadow Sea Kingdom just off the coast of Shadow Island. The Kelp is first mentioned in Shadow Island, Session 04.
- Sea Carrion – Exactly like their surface counterparts, the Carrion Crawler, the Sea Carrion is simply a version of the creature that crawls across the ocean floor looking for things that have died in shipwrecks, most commonly or any pieces of meat that have drifted to the ocean floor. First seen in Shadow Island, Session 04.
- Suflare – A creature roughly twelve inches wide that bears a close resemblance to the blue man-o-war fish. Due to its appearance, most predators leave the suflare alone, believing them to be the extremely dangerous man-o-war. Merfolk have harvested the suflare for times that they’ve rescued people who have been thrown overboard during storms or raids against their ships, as the suflare generates oxygen as it eats microorganism in the ocean, trapping it within itself. The unusual fish is first mentioned in Shadow Island, Session 04.
- Vindecarea Kelp – A form of kelp that grows around the far depths of the ocean, off the shores of Shadow Island. The kelp contains nutrients that invigorate the body and help naturally heal minor cuts and wounds. Due to the depth of which the plant grows, if it’s brought anywhere near the surface, it almost immediately “suffocates” and dies, losing its chemical balance. This kept was first mentioned in Shadow Island, Session 04.
- Whistling Leaf – Whistling Leaf grows near forested areas and contains nutrients that invigorate the body and help naturally heal minor cuts and wounds. Herbalists will harvest Whistling Leaf to create healing potions; but the contents must be made quickly, because as soon as Whistling Leaf is uprooted, it will begin losing its healing abilities as the natural chemicals of the Whistling Leaf break down. Because of the nature of Whistling Leaf, it is often difficult to grow – and thrives best in nature where large amounts of materials can feed its roots. Large patches of Whistling Leaf can often be found in swamps as well; but because of their healing nature, and over all pleasurable tastes, creatures often protect this as a food source, making acquiring them in swamps, a very dangerous task. Whistling Leaf is first mentioned in Servants of the Wizard, Session 05.
- Highland Shaggy Cow – The Highland Shaggy Cow is similar to what a Mammoth looks like, although they live in the Astral Plane that are known to live in the area of Kruezadune. The Highland Shaggy Cow was first mentioned in The Adventurers, Session 80.
Unique Languages:
- Eibrikku – It is the language spoken on the Seven Continents of Utsukkuen. DM Note – It is this world’s version of Japanese, essentially.
- Ilyxian – The language of the people of Ilyx/Gold Coast/Broken Lands. DM Note – It’s similar to this world’s version of the Arabic language, essentially.
