Plots & Rumors



  • The airships of the Mindat Forward Legion have been spotted of the shores of Ghikarnnagi, near Tedelpha. Until now, it was commonly thought the Mindat were not officially supporting either side in the civil war.

  • The Goblins seem to have secured Akklai Point (in Balacont), but survivors report that the invaders fear the ancient towers lining the hills. Any educated gentleman knows they were constructed by the Heteri sorcerers that founded the city.

The Magosh of Sofegai

-
"We had been waiting. The same day we toppled the Mindat control of our cities, he arrived" The day the Heteri people claimed their independence, The Magosh entered the ruling keep of Sofegai. He has held that seat as vuhwul of Sofegai for 200 years. There were concerns at first. Despite being a man of the north, he studied under the Mindat scholars, enemies of the Heteri. Servants claimed he did not sleep and was a hermaphrodite. Stubs of horns were apparent beneath his hair, and his massive jaws and teeth matched the frame that towered over the largest of Heteri men.

Isanias demonstrated his loyalty by killing the previous Mivuhweul in the city square. Givos, for an unknown reason, was one of the first communities targeted when the goblins rose to the surface. Despite the crumbling walls and downtrodden residents, Givos still welcomes peaceful travelers and merchants, so lon...

Thedine & The Society of the Black Earth

-
Thedine & The Society of the Black Earth Origin Nature: Sentient The Church sees Thedine as a sentient being with a stern,but even personality and a motivation in the best interest of all mankind. This is not to be confused with love or compassion, as Thedine has little patience for apathy or sloth. Followers speak of betraying the trust or duty of Thedine, but not of Thedine's duty to them. Origin Form: Entity Thedine is iconified as a blank faced elderly man. His eyes are always prominent, but no other facial features are depicted. Thedine is said to dwell upon a subterranean throne, but all devotees see this  as metaphorical, and understand his true presence to extra-dimensional. Origin Genesis: Created/Inherent Although the creation of the spirit Thedine in this sphere is well documented in Chlendi spiritualist lore, the High Argaevalignian Church of Thedine maintains that the world was created through the sweat and blood of Thedine the Eternal....
