Deep in the desert they have found small pockets of gems and ores in which they mine and forge in order to trade for other resources. | + | ===== Places ===== |

- | ====Other Important Players==== | + | The dwarves long ago discovered that under this blazing hellscape precious shinys grew in heavy abundance, and so developed their mines leading in and down. The underground has expanded outward, but is apparently one massive cave system, such as to avoid needing to ascend to the surface. There are a number of exits, most of which lead to the small oasis pockets found in the desert. |

- | ===Sirona=== | + | The southwest coast is particularly known for its beautiful beaches on the southern peninsula, and indeed that is where most of its economy lies. The only major city is [[Charity]], |
- | Tall, blonde, and willowy, Sirona the Elf is an herbalist and a powerful alchemist. Given the right herbs, she can make just about anything, from a potion that will call someone back from death’s door, to a deadly toxic cloud.

- | ====Present Day===== | + | === Southeast mountains |
- | ===Lord Charles=== | + | Lord Andross used to rule this region, but has since been arrested for high treason. Without an acknowledged heir of his own, the crown sent an advisor to hold the area until his sons worked out their succession problems. |

- | Unfortunately for him, not much long later, he was assassinated by a poison, killing him. Due to having masses of unfinished business dealing with the other lords, his soul refused to pass on, making him into a ghost. To this day he passes around the island, seeking for his killer and to get revenge. | + | Stuff. Nothing important. |

- | ===Lord Andross=== | + | Beware of ogres. |
+ | One of them stole my exploration notes, and I require assistance recovering them. Until such time, I dare not commit anything here, lest I confuse it with some other swamp and cause some poor traveler to blissfully walk to his doom. | ||
- | After the incriminating evidence was found, both Lord Andross and Natasha were sent to a maximum security prison. Nobody knows for sure where it was, as the kind ordered the memories of the event be removed from the guards who brought him there. There still exists a faction, that seeks to free Andross. | + | ====== History ====== |

- | ===Marcus Blackwood=== | + | He is a well thought of lord with a friendly personality. He keeps all of the citizen of the land happy and content. After his adviser was killed in a tragic accident involving bandits, his new advisor Sarah has taken the reigns and it has been more of the same. He is very quick to anger when people go against his wishes. The loss of his previous advisor has had a noticeable impact on him and he tends to travel significantly less than in the past. He controls the southwestern part of Irlany, which has a series of pristine beaches with a great forest in the center area. There are villages scattered throughout it's southeast section, and a large city on the southeastern coast. |

After the king declared he was searching for a heir, Vren began putting his plans into action, by having new adventurers steal a crystal to boost his magic. Vren was 5' |

When Lord Charles ascended the throne, he wasted no time in disappearing. Neither he, nor Arthur have been seen or heard from since that night.

+ | ===== Adventurers arrive ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | While it was unknown to adventurers until the year 10069, an issue of succession drew a group of new adventurers into it's political roil. The time of King Stephen was drawing to an end, and he had no proper heirs. | ||

+ | ===== A village vanishes ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | On 2/13/10071, a minor village roughly halfway between Enth and the Blackwood Ruins seemingly vanished. Reveal the Past shows the civilians disappearing one a time, before a force that suspiciously seemed like invisible giants appeared to rip the structures of the village out of the ground and stuff it into a portal bag. Not long before, someone had broken into the royal castle and stolen the physical throne, leaving only the mysterious message "Deus was here". Some weeks later, the throne was returned, but the mystery would be cause for gossip and storytelling for years to come. | ||

+ | Lord Andross is dead.\\ | ||
+ | Literally no one knows what happened to Vren. Not even the GMs involved at the time. \\ | ||
+ | In the caves of the eastern part of the mountain range north of Guile is the remains of a gnomish civilization. Below the abandoned city is the lair of a black dragon. \\ | ||
+ | Lord Hammerstone is a strong warrior and occasionally called as a neutral outsider to other events in the world. Bother Mike for more.\\ |
