    "lore1": "## END OF TIME\n\nOnce, this place was known as Arcane Sanctuary: a small and hidden community of dragonkin who migrated north, looking for better lives away from the zealotry of their people. Led by a green dragonkin named Mishoye, these dragonkin traveled far–dreaming of a sanctuary in Haerra. Eventually, they discovered a mountainous island known as Arreat Summit. When they explored the area, they found a large cavern deep within the mountain, containing an artifact of incredible power. Fascinated by this artifact, they settled into the cavern and built their society around it.\n\nSome time later, Arcane Sanctuary was discovered by the First Order of Zeno, who were led to this cave by a cache of ancient, mysterious texts. They revealed the nature of this artifact to the dragonkin, and agreed to research it together. The leader of the First Order, Archdeacon Bin Zy, took one of the most promising young dragonkin–nicknamed Bin Ali–under his wing, training him in the ways of Zeno. When Bin Zy left, Bin Ali took over the First Order and united the order with his people. When they completed their research and destroyed the Worldstone, it generated such a powerful vortex of energy that reality shattered around the cave. Arreat Summit tore from the ground to float miles above the water, while Sanctuary found itself suspended in space, trapped and isolated from the rest of Haerra.\n",
    "lore2": "## DICTATES OF MISHOYE\n\n_The three Dictates of Mishoye were scrawled on the gateway to Arcane Sanctuary, now facing into the open universe:_\n\n> Archway: “Enter all who are pure of soul and mind.”\n> Left Pillar: “The Arcane is privileged to those who revere her.”\n> Right Pillar: “Wash your hands before eating.”\n",
    "lore3": "## SUSPENDED IN SPACE\n\nShattered by energy and torn from its cavernous resting place, reality functions differently in the End of Time. Former cobblestone pathways twist and weave from floating platform to floating platform, all suspended in a twinkling starscape. Some of these roads are broken, making many old Arcane Sanctuary hubs impassable without flight. Buildings can only be built on accessible platforms, resulting in tall and wide towers that spiral high into the air. All other loose objects float directionless into space until they vanish from sight. Though powerful magic prevents visitors from drifting off into space due to a lack of gravity, one should always watch their step while strolling around the End of Time.\n",

Outside of the knowledge of the dragonkin themselves, little is known about Dragonhollow aside from its existence somewhere high in the Ashyrah Spine. To many dragonkin, however, this place is a blessed metropolis for a shunned people.\n\nDragonhollow is built within a massive cavern; once the lair of an ancient dragon. Now the dragon’s massive skeleton lies in the depths of the cave, within which the dragonkin have built much of Dragonhollow. The extent of the city, however, stretches from the dragon’s skeleton to the jagged stone spires filling the cavern. The entrance to Dragonhollow is a yawning crag, hidden within the Ashyrah Spine. The trek from the city to the mouth of the cave is a long and treacherous one, along stone steps roughly hewn into the cavern walls.\n",
    "lore2": "## DRAGONKIN AND DRAGONS\n\nNo one knows the exact origins of the dragonkin. Some scholars believe it to be the result of a union between a human and a dragon, while others theorize it to be the result of foul magic: be it of draconic or humanoid origin. No matter the source, many dragonkin despise their draconic ancestors rather than revering them. Much of this can be traced to a red dragon named Velzedir, who enslaved the small dragonkin population as minions and playthings for centuries. Kadduk the Divine Dagger–perhaps the most heroic figure in dragonkin history–supposedly slayed Velzedir single handedly with nothing but a rusted dagger. Kadduk became the first independent leader of the dragonkin in centuries, and he mandated a fervent hate of dragons–a hate that remains to this day.\n",
    "lore3": "## TIME-LOCKED\n\nDragonkin only surfaced in Haerra recently, in the last two centuries of the Illumination. Before that, dragonkin had only been told of in stories and shoddy historical documents. Though many on Haerra presume the dragonkin were simply in isolation for a millennium, the reality is much stranger. During the Dawning era, long after Kadduk the Divine Dagger had slain their dragon oppressor Velzedir, a dragonkin tribe encountered a mystical ripple in the fabric of time. Unknowing and curious, the dragonkin ventured into the ripples in the air, and emerged into a futuristic Haerra, where humanoids had built sprawling civilizations and their dragon enemies had fallen into obscurity. However, as they entered into this seemingly utopian paradise, they found themselves rejected by the greater populace of Haerra. Spurned and defeated, the dragonkin returned to the mountains only to find that the ripple in time had closed. They were trapped in modern Haerra. They founded the reclusive Dragonhollow and began to research ways to return home. While many dragonkin cling to the past and remain spiteful of the Haerran population, others set out to make a life in Haerra, hoping to change the minds of those around them.\n",

Irondell is found in the northern reaches of Fayhelm, situated just above the forest ridgeline in a mountainous valley. The city serves as a gateway to the north, as well as a watchful beacon over the Fayhelm forests. Irondell sits on a solitary mountain parapet, connected to the outside world by two large stone bridges, one south to the forests, and one north to the frost lands beyond. Guarded within the walls of Irondell, the massive and revered Skytree rises above the city, home to all manner of transient fay creatures.\n\nIrondell itself is a melting pot of humans and elves, who live in harmony in stone-built habitations. It is the distribution centre for Fayhelm where oil, wood, furs, and metals are bought and sold among many other things. Irondell is controlled by the Liege Warden and the Wardens of Irondell. Few Wardens actually dwell in the city, assigned to guard various areas in Fayhelm. Generally, the Wardens live in small turf-covered wooden shacks scattered throughout the Fayhelm forests.\n",
    "lore2": "## **THE IRONDELL ALLIANCE**\n\nAlthough humans always dwelled on the outskirts of the Fayhelm forests, it was only when the city of Linden was built that the elves took issue with the encroaching human populace. Centuries ago, a war broke out between elves and humans, and the death tolls were great. The humans had the advantage of centralized authority and steel weapons and armor, while the elves knew the forests and how to strategize around them. It was a vicious cycle, broken only by a man named Lord Irondell. A general for the forces of Linden, Lord Irondell, sought to end the conflict peacefully. Lord Irondell surrendered himself and his company to the elves, who captured them and carted them deep within the forests.\n\nHere, Lord Irondell spent years forging a friendship with Etarian Yra, one of the elven leaders. Eventually, Lord Irondell persuaded both the elves and the humans to agree to a ceasefire, where they met and discussed a treaty. Even this treaty took years, but when it was completed the humans agreed to never settle deeper within the forests, while the elves agreed to let the humans have a settlement in the north to further their trade and expansion goals. Tragically, Lord Irondell never got to see the signing of the treaty, falling to illness a year before. The pact was named The Irondell Alliance in his honor, and the northern settlement granted to the humans became known as Irondell.\n",
    "lore3": "## **GUILD**\n\n**The Wardens of Irondell**\nThe Wardens of Irondell are the protectors of the Fayhelm forests and its inhabitants, both peoples and creatures. The Wardens are woodsmen and women, mainly of human and elven birth, who live in moveable encampments that are spread throughout the forests. They stringently regulate hunting to protect the denizens of the forest, and transgressors are tried for murder. They know the secret trails and ways of the woodland creatures and are accomplished archers, skillful fighters, and experts at camouflage.\n",

The city itself is a highly fortified port, nestled between a northern arm of the Iron Inlet and a jagged mountain range to the north and west. To the east, the forests of Fayhelm grow wild and untamed. Although Linden is primarily home to humans, some elves have migrated to the city and others come down from the forests to trade and revel alongside the humans.\n\nLinden is a large exporter of tar, various minerals, and lumber; however, their main source of wealth stems from the Radiant Viziers. The Viziers govern and protect the area around the city, and they use the security of the city to manage their interests abroad. A large naval base operates from Linden, patrolling the Iron Inlet and working with the Knights of Westmarsh and Hevane to safeguard the coast from pirates. \n",

Long ago, the grounds now housing the church once held an important temple of the druids. However, when a large force of humans abandoned the old Newerth Empire and settled in the north, they drove out the druids and tore down the temple, erecting a small church in favor of their goddess Relia. As time progressed and relationships improved between the new humans, druids, and elves, the church still serves as a major point of contention between the groups as it grew and expanded. The Radiant Viziers remain unapologetic of their faith and its monuments, even while suing for peace. Thus, the blazing sun symbol of Relia--emblazoned on the church front--shines over the region to this day.\n",

Great wealth is afforded to the Viziers, and they use it to spread their forces and influence across Haerra.\n",

Valburn is led by the Valburn Corruptors, a higher caste of demonkin who worship Azorag, god of Chaos. Valburn’s main population is demonkin and corruptors, however some humans also fill their ranks. The landscape of Valburn is characterized by blackened earth and volcanic mountains towards their capital--the Obsidian City--in the east, semi-farmable quagmires in the west, and the Hills of Carnage to the north.\n\nThe Empire of Valburn was formalized in 748 R.H. by Highlord Barakas, who united the disparate tribes of Valburn Corruptors and conquered the lesser demonkin in the name of Azorag. Highlord Barakas is the self-proclaimed prophet of Azorag, and claims to speak directly with the god of chaos. He conducts impassioned speeches about Valburn ravaging the greater continent of Haerra under Azorag’s banner.\n",

Look upon the other peoples of Haerra. See how they squirm at our name. Now _they_ are the disparate tribes: not an empire among them, not a single united front against our efforts. Even as they scramble to hold their borders they squabble like children, rife with infighting and power-mongering. But here we stand above: united under a common banner; a common cause. Nothing can stand against _chaos_! And when we are done–when we reign _supreme_, we will stand over _their_ ashen bodies! We will stand over _their_ scarred land! For chaos we rise!

Though this is technically correct, I argue that the empire was conceived long before: when the Magocracy Wars tore the demonkin’s prosperous lands to shreds, leaving them starved and vulnerable. Even as volcanic ash suffocated their food supplies and lava consumed their cities, we–the people of Haerra–raped their civilization with no remorse. We took advantage of their plight and turned our noses up at their cries for help. Former allies, turned against in their time of greatest need. The mages did nothing in terms of reparation. But our sin is even greater, for we neither extended a helping hand nor held the mages culpable for their actions. Instead, we cowered in fear while a people and a land burned.

But ichor is not aberrant: it is perhaps the most natural process. The exertion of ichor by the Forsaken Mancers has changed the appearance and underlying ecosystems of the southern islands–there is no denying this. But I do not see this as an ‘unnatural’ or ‘distasteful’ corruption, as many deem it. Rather, it is a hastening of the life and death process. Such a heavy presence of ichor energy degrades life in its vicinity, but from it new life is birthed. If the arrogant philosophers of the Archivists were to look closer at the isles, they would see them brimming with all manner of odd and wonderful creatures: from Stench Crawlers to Graven Ones to all manner of ‘undead’ that populate these Forsaken Lands. ‘Corruption’ is perspective. To me, these lands have proven that nature is not linear; it is a complex and adaptable phenomenon.

    "lore2": "## THE GREAT TREES OF FAYHELM\n\nTwo trees stand above all others in Fayhelm: the revered Faytree and Skytree. Both trees spiral high into the sky, with canopies and above-ground root systems large enough to house many creatures. Historically, these trees are revered by many in Fayhelm, so much so that the elves and druids warred over them intermittently for centuries. Currently, the elves and humans care for the Skytree, located in the mountainous city of Irondell, while the Faytree composes the largest druid city in Fayhelm, located in the southeastern reaches of the forest. Though the Skytree is markedly smaller than the Faytree, it still holds equal importance in a common Fayhelm mythos. According to legend, the Faytree serves as an anchor to the world–from which all of Haerra stems. The Skytree, on the other hand, connects Haerra to the greater universe, and represents the passing from earthly life into heavenly existence.\n",

The northern arm of Elysium is largely wild and unsettled, save for a few small towns. The central powerhouse of Elysium is Otho, which controls the surrounding towns, villages, and fiefs that stretch down towards Ashyrah. Isolated from the rest of Elysium are the spectacular floating islands: home to the Elysium Mages. Although the mages possess great sway over Haerra, they dabble very little in governance of Elysium itself, preferring to remain reclusive on their islands.\n\nMainland Elysium as a whole is rather untamed. Though many have settled here, the dense forests and lack of centralized leadership results in little infrastructure or enforcement outside of the cities and large towns. As such, Elysium festers with beasts and bandits, both along the roads and in the woods. Mercenaries from across Haerra flock to Elysium for the lucrative hired soldier industry there, both as guardsmen and town-raiding thugs.\n",

The man is a pompous and self-righteous pig, capable of far less than any of his constituents. I can’t quite wrap my head around why the mage council in Toralir does not simply string his body from the ramparts of Otho as an example. He pays mercenary groups to ransack nearby villages in the name of ‘taxation,’ and he bullies his people like cornered mutts. His personality is abysmal and his wits are far less than average. When a mage like myself could tear through this government in less than a day and give Elysium something far better, I cannot understand why the so-called ‘Elysium’ mages do nothing for their namesake!”_\n",

I found traces of eight different packs in the south, six in the northeastern arm, three in Otho’s general region, and fifteen to eighteen in the unsettled northwestern regions. In total, there are twelve more packs than last year: an extremely concerning increase. Furthermore, whether by reproduction or some witchcraft, the lycanthropes are also blossoming in population, with roughly fifty more reports of sightings than last year, most of these from very reliable sources of mine.\n> \n> In addition, a number of wyverns appear to be migrating down from the northwest mountains into the hills and plains below, plaguing towns and villages there. I found several empty nests in the mountains where I had witnessed them previously, and several new nests closer to the human populations there. In speaking of airborne creatures, the griffons appear to grow steadily more aggressive against human settlements, though I don’t see a major population change in their number since last year.\n> \n> With all due respect, my liege, if you do nothing to curb these wild beasts in the coming years then many lives could be lost. The growth of these creatures is exponentially higher than in previous years, and I worry it spells disaster for the Elysium people and economy.\n",

While imposing towards the sea, another natural fortification protects Westmarsh to the east: the marshes of southern Newerth.

Within the walls of the city, architecture varies from sweeping parapets and the blocky, rigid walls that make up the inner city to the haphazard, flooded slums where shanties are built atop tall poles.\n\nAlthough most of Westmarsh’s wealth stems from seaborne trade, large swathes of the swamp are converted into irrigated farms which grow rice, maize, sweet potatoes and cranberries.\n\nTo the south-east of Westmarsh is a high long ridge leading to the sweeping Hills of Carnage, an empty wasteland of blood and toil which divides Westmarsh from Valburn territory and is home to a number of vicious battles.

After nearly a century of existence, however, the empire collapsed in the wake of widespread revolution. The now-independent regions of Newerth, united under a political union, display powerful identities forged under the oppression of the empire. Observed by outsiders, the people of Newerth appear proud to the point of dogmatism. From the marshes of Westmarsh to the sand dunes of the Qiddir Desert, these former subjugates of the empire waste no time leveraging their wealth of resources and ingenuity.\n\nGiven its centrality in the continent and the persisting infrastructure built by the Newerth Empire, Newerth is heavily traveled and settled: taking the title as the most heavily populated region in Haerra. Much inter-regional trade is conducted through Newerth, especially via Hevane. Despite being the former subjects of empire, the Tri-States and their constituents grow more prosperous each passing year.\n",

Though brought together under suffering and hardship, the now-independent states agreed to maintain their unique identities while still sharing the infrastructure built by the Empire. After years of discussion and argument, the self-proclaimed \"Tri-States\" established a political union between their states: sharing infrastructure, wealth, and governance over Newerth.\n\nIn addition to special trade policies amongst the Tri-States, they drafted a common constitution (though differences are plentiful between cities) and fuel a shared military fund. Recently, the Tri-States expended much of these funds, in addition to shared armed forces, to aid Westmarsh in their defense against the Valburn Empire.\n",

In this book I will elucidate the history of the Newerth Empire, followed by a consideration of its governance and eventual collapse. Namely, I will discuss the Exile Quota of 658 RH, the Night of Moon Blades of 702 RH, and the empire’s response to the revolutionary’s Edicts of Change of 709 RH. Finally, I will track the division of the empire’s constituent tri-states–generally Hevane, Qiddir, and Westmarsh–in the wake of its collapse.\"_\n",

The expansion front towards Fayhelm must cease immediately.\n4. The death penalty must be abolished for minor crimes.\n5. Religious freedoms must be restored to the citizens of Newerth.\n",

    "lore1": "## **AXELAS**\n\nAxelas is located on the southern coast of Ashyrah. The region around Axelas is sheltered by the Ashyrah Spine, which makes it the center of a very fertile area. Its farms are spread along the fertile coastal strip known as the Plains of Ashyrah, where wheat, barley, corn, and maize are grown. Inland, towards the foothills of the Ashyrah Spine, farmers grow almonds, oranges, apples, melons, and strawberries as well as a wide variety of herbs which are treated and made into spices. These products are traded from Axelas and shipped worldwide.\n\nThe city itself is a thriving metropolis of traders, crafters, and tradespeople. The city is large but sprawled out over a large area, giving it the feel of a smaller town. Axelas has a famous fruit and spice market just north of its bustling harbor. In a well-fortified castle on the outskirts of Axelas the Paladins of Ashyrah take up their main residence. Though largely uninvolved in the day-to-day administration of Axelas, the Paladins protect the city for a petty fee.\n",
    "lore2": "## **OF GLORY AND INFAMY**\n\nAxelas’ past is a tumultuous story of righteousness and absolute evil. Though many paragons of justice rise from Axelas, such as Parseet the Dragon and Noshim the Fearless, the city’s reputation remains stained from a number of tyrants reared within. Chief among these is Idaro Tolspier. Once known as Idaro the Lionheart, he championed the Paladins of Ashyrah, leading small squadrons to victory against entire battalions. A devout follower of Relia, he even had a legendary weapon forged in his name and given to him by the Radiant Viziers. After decades of service, however, Idaro fell prey to a deadly enemy: lust. Idaro fell hopelessly in love with a Valburn Corruptor baroness and–in order to appease her–he betrayed the Paladins in the Battle of Acid Gate. The Paladin’s loss at the battle was so crushing that it allowed Valburn to sweep across all of southern Haerra to the borders of Newerth. In the course of the battle Idaro was slain by his former elite, and his name fell forever into infamy.\n",

All paladins have taken a vow to stand against evil and the forces of darkness. The Paladins do not adhere to the religious dictates of one god. Instead, they construct a code to which all paladins must adhere, and it is updated annually. If any paladin disagrees with a new statute, they are free to leave without reprehension.\n",

It sits in the center of an isthmus that protrudes into the Radiant Sea, where several more volcanoes litter the area, both on land and beneath the waves. These volcanoes can often be seen emitting billowing clouds of dark smoke into the air, obscuring the area.\n\nAzran is home to the mysterious and solitary group known as the Arcane Sorcerers, who construct their stone dwellings on the edge of these volcanoes. Due to the isolated nature of the Arcane Sorcerers, there are no roads or tracks leading to their habitations. Despite being centrally located, few dare to stray near to the volcanic isthmus. Those who do venture there report awaking in the shallows of the Ashyrah coast, remembering next to nothing of their adventure.\n",
    "lore2": "## **UNKNOWN PURPOSE**\n\nLittle is known about the Arcane Sorcerers. Reportedly, they are wielders of ancient magic. They long shadow the outskirts of historical accounts, and are theorized to be one of the oldest organizations in Haerra. Curious surveyors and historians spend days in distant ships, gazing through spy glasses to garner even the smallest tidbits of information. So far the only known facts about the sorcerers is that they live in stone habitations on the edges of the Azran caldera, wear simple gray robes and clothing, and are composed of many races. Some theorize that they are plotting to take over Haerra, while others believe them to be a cult dedicated to a dragon dwelling in the volcano. Others still claim that they protect Ashyrah from the active volcanoes, keeping them contained. No matter the truth, outsiders are wary of the sorcerers and their unknown intentions.\n",
    "lore3": "## **BECOMING A SORCERER**\n\nThe only other information known about the Arcane Sorcerers are pieces of their recruitment process. All across Haerra, the process remains static: an individual goes missing and, in their place, there remains a note and a satchel. The note is handwritten by the missing individual, ensuring their family or caretakers that they are safe and in good health. Within the satchel is something of immense value to the culture, be it gold, jewels, artifacts, or something of equivalence. The chosen individuals follow no pattern: from blacksmiths to cripples to children riddled with leprosy, all of different ages and with different racial, cultural, and gender backgrounds. Families and friends of these missing individuals continue to receive letters and tokens from them long after their absence, though the person is never seen again.\n",

The fortress is a sheer and imposing building cut into the mountain rock, visible from the passes and trails far below. Though ancient, the castle has exchanged a number of owners, each of which has made expansions and improvements to the fortress.\n\nCurrently, Blackrock Castle houses an army garrison of Radiant Viziers, and it serves as their bastion of influence in the area. The Viziers send their budding elite to Blackrock Castle for training, producing some of the mightiest warriors in Haerra. The area is harsh and unforgiving, and both the fortress and its occupants reflect that. Blackrock Castle is connected via treacherous roads to Agrador and the Free City of Vtello, and it conjoins several mountain passes that miners use to travel the area.\n",
    "lore2": "## **AN HONOR AND A SENTENCE**\n\nIt is a well-known fact among the Radiant Viziers that success is not always met with fortune. The ‘Lord of Blackrock Castle’ is a prestigious title that evokes fear and awe in many across the continent. Such an individual is trusted with training the next Vizier elite, awarded a great amount of power and influence, and given a massive swathe of the castle as their own. However, being the Lord of Blackrock Castle is not often an envied position. When assigned to the castle, the Lord is expected to be there at all times unless called to Linden by the Vizier Hierarchy. This can mean years of isolation in the castle, without the comforts, foods, or warmth of the southern regions. In addition to the sacrifice of comfort, the job is a brutal one: forging normal knights into champions, managing a flood of deserters, and governing the harsh and crime-ridden Frostlands. As such, the position is often both a distinction and a curse.\n",
    "lore3": "## **TRAINING THE VIZIER ELITE**\n\nBlackrock Castle operates one of the most brutal and soul-crushing training programs in Haerra. In accordance with the dictates of the goddess Relia, the Viziers demand that an elite burn away their mortal vices and weaknesses in sacred fire. In Blackrock Castle, this is taken both figuratively and literally. From training twenty hours a day to running across burning coals, the prospective elite are purged of pain and weakness. Other exercises consist of nude treks across Blackshard Mountain passes, holding a fifty pound stone above one’s head for hours without moving, or balancing on the edge of the castle fortifications for the entire day. Such an incredibly rigorous training program forges heroes, but it also results in the most deserters ever seen by any one force in Haerra.\n",

Unlike their cave- and hill-dwelling counterparts in the west, the dwarves of Der’uden prefer a more isolated, arctic lifestyle atop the glacier. They live in large snow and ice huts, constructed in an old dwarven fashion. Their king and his court reside in a large ice palace, which supposedly formed naturally when two glaciers collided. The dwarves of Der’uden train snow boars and polar bears as mounts, for both sport and ease of transport. In order to sustain themselves, they fish a massive ice water lake in the lower echelons of their territories, which remarkably teems with life due to a nearby natural hot spring that keeps the lake from icing over. \n",

First, there’s polar bear racing. That’s a fun one. Then there’s sitting in the hot springs. They’re warm. Third, there’s snow boar racing. Almost as fun as polar bear racing, but not quite. Then there’s fishin–I reckon–though I’ve never been. Lastly, drinking goes very well with all these here activities, so really there’s never a dull moment in Der’uden…\"_\n",

Rumor has it that Melgen was so infatuated with the valley that he built a house right where he stood, and refused to leave the glacier until he grew old and frail. He then proceeded to attempt to climb down the mountain and return home with a map to “Der’uden Valley.” Unfortunately, he died long before he reached the bottom. Some time later, another dwarven prospector stumbled upon the map and returned it to the dwarven kingdoms, where word spread quickly. Der’uden turned into a ‘vacation spot,' where dwarves went to enjoy the natural hot springs. After the Great Dwarven Schism, however, a hardy group of dwarves decided to make the valley their home, constructing their city atop the glacier.\n",

The city is built into the surrounding aspen and pine forest, following a series of streams and rivers from the high hills in the north to a large lake in the south. Elshanai is connected by thin dirt and cobblestone trails that weave through the area, seamlessly integrating with the elegant white-marble structures and low-arching bridges. Gold accents gild the short, thin spires that rarely break above the treeline, giving Elshanai a refined but humble appearance.\n\nThe elves here actively trade and communicate with humans and other races, especially those in Irondell, which they call their “sister city.” Some humans even dwell within Elshenai, and a single human sits on their council of nine. To many other elven tribes, this is considered blasphemy above all else, and is unheard of elsewhere in history.\n",
    "lore2": "## **ETARIAN YRA**\n\nPerhaps the most revered and beloved elf in Fayhelm, Etarian Yra served as head of the Elshanai council for nearly one hundred years. A portly elf of humble birth and modest disposition, he is often depicted as serenely grinning with his eyes screwed shut, dimples and laugh lines dominating his rounded face.\n\nEtarian enjoyed a jovial and chaotic upbringing, known by the elders as a chronic troublemaker and rabble-rouser. But when war broke out between elves and humans, Etarian was sent to the front lines, where his youthful playfulness was beaten from him with the swords and boots of his commanders. Despite this, Etarian never truly wavered, and anytime he was stationed nearby a human encampment, he had a knack for making friends with the humans. Much to the chagrin of his officers, Etarian and his company were found playing cards with the humans: laughing, drinking, and sharing stories. The officers punished him severely and reassigned him, where he repeated this pattern three times before the officers gave up and sent him back to Elshanai, where the politicians attempted to mold him. Though these politicians also failed to break him, many in Elshanai found Etarian’s unwavering enthusiasm and cheerfulness refreshing and attractive. Some years later, he was elected to the council. During this time, he met the human captive Lord Irondell and took kindly to him. It was through the steadfast friendship of Lord Irondell and Etarian that the Irondell Alliance was brokered and the war between the two races ended.\n\nFor decades after the peace deal was finalized, Etarian pushed for progress: establishing trade deals with other cities in Haerra, working to build up the city of Irondell with the humans, and proposing joint ownership of the Skytree there. When he was elected head of the council, he increased his efforts further, bringing humans into the city and helping to create the Wardens of Irondell, in which he served for almost a decade before returning to head the council. During the final years of his life, Etarian gave up everything to travel around Fayhelm, transiently living with the druids, other elven tribes, and even with fey creatures. One day he vanished near the Etherwold, never to return. His memory lives on firmly in the diverse minds of Fayhelm: human, elven, and others alike.\n",

The druids, typically a peaceful people, argued that the Faytree was theirs by right of the earth goddess Metun. The elves responded to this claim with force, driving the druids from central Fayhelm and pushing them to the forest outskirts. In return, the druids began to weaponize their potent use of gaia energy against the elves. The war raged on for several decades until a druid named Caietus rose to prominence.

    "lore1": "## **JASRI**\n\nJasri is a large elven city in southeastern Fayhelm, built into the trees and the forest canopy. The treehouses of Jasri are elegantly designed from wood, and both wood and rope bridges network from treetop to treetop to connect the city. Elves here detest fire and, as such, they use the blue fireflies plentiful in this part of the forest as their only light source, providing the whole city with a glowing, mystical feel.\n\nCompared to other elven tribes and kingdoms in Fayhelm, Jasri is very reclusive–as the people in this area took the brunt of the war against humans over a century ago. Although occasionally traveling south to Tarv or west through the forests to Linden for trade, many Jasrian elves refuse to leave the shelter of the woods.\n",
    "lore2": "## **OF SONG AND DANCE**\n\nThough many elves detest the Haerran stereotype of elves dancing and singing about the woods, Jasrian elves fully embrace it. In fact, such a stereotype likely stemmed from the human’s first contact with Jasrian elves on the southern edges of Fayhelm. While other cultures would spend time in the evening drinking at taverns or sharing stories around a hearth, Jasri’s nightlife is characterized by musical gatherings all around the city; in gardens, on treetops, and even in the middle of bridges. Friends and strangers alike come together with spiced wines, cheerful laughter, and–most importantly–music. Some play instruments, while others sing and dance until the wee hours of dawn. Though abject drunkenness is not tolerated in Jasri, it is common to see everyone a _little _tipsy, no matter their age. Music is not often a competitive thing in Jasri. Though there are some competitions, they are seen as a thing of the youth, and few of these competitions involve adults.\n",

Inshore fishermen use small boats to catch crabs and shrimp along the coast whilst the deep sea fishermen trawl for cod and herring. Karpeshti also houses many whalehunters, who scour the sea for boneface: massive whales whose blubber is rendered down into a fine oil used for lamps, cooking, and mechanical lubricant.\n\nBeyond their fishing and whaling industries, Karpeshti also harvests ice for most of western Haerra, shipping them in massive blocks down the coast. Karpeshti has overland trading routes to Irondell and sea routes to Agrador, the Free City of Vtello, and along the Aldia Gulf. Come winter, most individuals in Karpeshti migrate south for the season, returning in the spring. However, Karpeshti also has many full-time residents, who oversee the maintenance of the tools over winter.\n",

Her pointed horn jutted into the sky like a mage tower, and the bone plating on her cheeks grew as thick as the Great Wall of Tukra. My shipmates cowered in terror, and screamed: “Yokan!” They saw the wave coming, but I could only stand in awe, watching as Oglai breached the surface and cut into the air. Even as the water crashed around me, flinging me from the ship, I had clarity: for I knew I had found a purpose. From that day forward, my destiny was to kill Oglai–even if it cost me everything.”_\n",

The ship ran aground, and the prisoners within rioted, killing the captain and the Vizier soldiers on board. The prisoners knew they wouldn’t get far in the freezing conditions of the northern Frostlands, so they instead built shoddy settlements from the surrounding rock and wood of the ship. They fished the dangerous waters with rickety boats. Though few survived to see the spring, those that did decided to stay and build more permanent settlements, away from the eyes of the law and the Radiant Viziers. As the oil they produced from boneface blubber increased in demand, they began to trade down the western coast. Eventually, they created a small garrison to police the area, and attracted people of ill-means from all over Haerra to earn quick riches for a season or two. As Karpeshti’s industry grew, so too did the town, quickly becoming the most populated town in the western Frostlands.\n",

Maeteha has one road which runs along the coast to the edge of the marsh marking Westmarsh territories, where a small fortress is controlled by the Knights of Westmarsh. Valburn conquered Maeteha shortly after the demonkin occupied it. Recognizing its strategic importance, the Valburn Corruptors made it a second center of their power. The Corruptor lords there treat the demonkin viciously, overseeing their activity and ensuring that they are worked thoroughly to the bone.\n\nAlthough Maeteha was well-built, the city has undergone a large amount of wear and tear, both from constant conquest and a lack of maintenance by the demonkin and Corruptors. The walls are routinely kept up. Otherwise, trees and weeds encapsulate old buildings, moss clings to stone pathways, and shoddy huts house the majority of Maeteha’s population.\n",

As such, the Corruptor governance of Maeteha receives very little funds beyond those slotted for military and naval training, and the rare extra funds tend to find their ways into the pockets of the Corruptor overlords. Though demonkin are treated as second-class by the Corruptors throughout Valburn, demonkin here are treated especially poorly. The demonkin are made to toil away in muddy farms from dawn to dusk, fighting off disease and deadly swamp creatures with no aid and very little compensation. Despite Valburn’s lofty ideals, Maeteha serves as a reminder that not all benefit from such a regime.\n",

The first solution was to man the ships more heavily, however this simply escalated the violence as the pirates returned in greater force. In order to protect all their interests, the three coastal powers of the time–Linden, Hevane, and Westmarsh–convened to address the issue. Freshly independent from the claws of the Newerth Empire, both Hevane and Westmarsh were looking for ways to expand their influence. Both parties submitted bids to establish a fortress at the entrance to the Iron Inlet. As the tie-breaker, Linden–seeing the power afforded to Hevane by its trade sway–voted in favor of Westmarsh and construction began on Newkirk Stronghold just weeks later. Since then, the rate of pirate attacks has dwindled thanks to a concerted effort between the three factions.\n",

Otherwise, the city holds a south-facing harbor that contains a small fleet, however, navigating the rocky reefs around the volcanic island is an incredibly difficult task.

He chose Valburn obsidian as the primary construction material: a hardy and difficult-to-mold form of obsidian. He mined the substance from all over Valburn to fortify the capital. With the help of demonkin and human slaves, paid mercenary workers, and his own soldiers, the city rose from squat huts to towering spires in under five years–an incredible feat which killed over five thousand slaves and workers in the process.\n",

During this time, Highlord Barakas and his council worked tirelessly to forge an identity for Valburn beyond simple brutality. Within the Obsidian City amphitheaters were constructed alongside new team sports, universities were built, and the military was organized into strict regiments, each undergoing formal training. Meanwhile, a clergy of Azorag was established and trained to harness chaos energy to great lengths. New national days were instituted alongside religious festivals and sporting events. The result was not only a united Valburn, but a nationalistic one composed of prideful citizens.\n",

The wealthy habitations, positioned at the center of the city, are fine and well-built two- or three-story stone houses constructed on neat, well maintained streets. Outside of the inner city, Otho is a place of mud and squalor. The Vira homesteads are more like a rough assembly of small shacks on the outer edges of the main town, and the settlements of human workers are not much better: hostels and taverns poorly constructed from rough timber.\n\nOtho is the center of trade in Elysium, with both land and sea routes north to the Free City of Vtello and Agrador, south to Samyrah and Axelas, and west to greater Haerra.

The people here are, for the most part, indulgent and haughty, with little concern for the Otho outside of their wall. Beyond the nobility and wealthy citizens, the workers are incredibly poor: with wages already low, the harsh tax imposed by the King of Otho is a heavy blow. The lowest rung of Otho’s society are the vira, who live in shacks and shanties in a contained sector of the city. Despite being the poorest, the vira are the most brutally taxed and see next-to-no return.\n",

Qiddir is a walled city situated on the northern edge of the Qiddir Desert, straddling the land bridge between the Sea of Newerth and Haqor Bay. Qiddir is the most populated Vira city, and it serves as a crossroads where Vira conduct most of their foreign and collective business. Although Vira generally spurn outsiders, Qiddir is the most liberal of Vira cities; meaning visitors are tolerated, if not welcomed. Qiddir harbors warehouses, banks, industrial complexes, and most importantly to the Vira: the Guildhalls. Rising from the center of the city is the massive Guild Citadel, where the heads of guilds meet and dictate law. The streets are lined with small, orderly houses: home to Qiddir’s many accountants, merchants, craftsmen, and laborers.\n\nUndoubtedly the most striking feature of Qiddir, the massive Wall of Tukra stretches coast to coast: from the Sea of Newerth to Haqor Bay, housing two sheltered ports on either side. The wall allows for safe and expedient travel from one side to the other whilst routing traders through Qiddir, which sits at the center of the wall. In addition, the wall seals the only overland access to Fayhelm and beyond, making it a vital strategic point. In addition to its important sea trade, the city also has inland routes across the Bronze Sierras to Tabr where they link with their cousins, the Desert Kilrans, as well as routes north to Tarv.\n",

Any such crafting heavily involves the Guilds. Much of Vira society is ordered around the Guilds, which are regarded with near-religious reverence by many Vira. Guild membership is determined by birth, and many families have remained in the same discipline for centuries. Certain guilds, such as the Architects Guild, are renowned above others; creating a quasi-caste system that changes depending on which guilds are high in demand.\n",

Although still arid, dry, and covered with dunes in parts, the Qiddir Desert is home to many oasis pockets alongside grassy plains and stretches of silt-rich farmland. However, the favorable environment comes with its own dangers: far more deadly creatures roam the Qiddir Desert than the inhospitable Copper Desert, making it dangerous to traverse without protection.\n",

    "lore1": "## **SAMYRAH**\nThe capital of Ashyrah, Samyrah is a large port city  sitting astride the sheltered waters known as Tarmor’s Bay. Samyrah is known primarily for its unbreakable neutrality, and the city has built an identity for itself as a peacemaker. The people are peaceful in nature, however, all citizens (regardless of sex or status) are required to learn to fight. As such, there is no standing militia. Instead, in a time of need, the population is weaponized and will rise to fight off invaders.\n\nThe high hills and deep valleys of eastern Ashyrah make excellent growing conditions for rice, beans, and peanuts, and Tarmor’s Bay is teeming with ocean life, providing Samyrah with a wealth of food and exportable goods. Samyrah also operates a large timber industry, boating processed wood from its mills in central Ashyrah to locations all over Haerra.\n",
    "lore2": "## **EXEMPLARS**\nSamyrah serves as the seat of power for Ashyrah's ruling body: the Exemplars. Every second year, sixteen Exemplars are chosen from the populace of Ashyrah by popular vote. Among these, the Exemplar with the most votes becomes Exemplar-Tahsi, who serves as head of the council for the following two year period. Exemplars are limited to five terms, though few have made it to this prestigious position. Many have criticized Ashyrah's government as slow and complex. However, these administrative blocks and checks make Ashyrah--especially Samyrah--a perfect arbiter for conflicts between foreign nations, and the city has an impressive record of peacemaking throughout Haerra.\n",
    "lore3": "## **DRAGONSLAYERS**\nLong ago, the dragons’ rule over Haerra was absolute. Since their age of prominence in Prehistory, however, the era called ‘The Dawning’ by historians saw a rapid decline of dragons. This decline was–in part–caused by the legendary _Sim’yrr’ha Drocoslanis_, or “Dragonslayers of Samyrah.” Although not much is recorded about the dragonslayers, they are revered by Samyrah as founders, rulers, and heroes of Samyrah and the area. Myth says that just two dragonslayers could kill a dragon on their own, equipped with ancient magic and weapons.\n",
    "lore4": "## **VROGAL THE FEARLESS**\n_Samyran children’s story_\n\n> _Hear tale thee of the mighty dracoslanis: slayers of the vicious vorpal beasts which did set upon us. One such dracoslanis doth rise above all, Vrogal the Fearless in this tale stands tall. A runt since wee child, Vrogal still fought on–to become a great dracoslanis: his only great bond. Wilt he to greatness, he rose through the ranks. And despite such deformity, he sought to prove his great strengths. One night while in training, he crept through the dark: to prove himself early, he set off with spark. He rode through the mountains–equipped only with blade–to test his true mettle, or into history fade. The dread-monger dracon, known as Choanlo in name, awaited Vrogal with draco-breath en-flame. Choanlo the Terrible set upon Vrogal quick, alighting his cap like an old waxen wick. But Vrogal did not waver, his sword flashed in the night–for today he became legend: it takes only one smite. He struck through iron scales, so fearless indeed, and when the blow landed Choanlo did bleed. Choanlo let out such a terrible roar: all in Sim’yrr’ha heard this from shore. Vrogal the Fearless returned so covered in blood–but not a scratch on his body, save some burns and some mud. Despite such great victory, his master did chide: so returned he to school, dress’d in draco-hyde._\n",

Tabr thrives in a lush coastal area of the twin deserts, conveniently afforded the protection of the Bronze Sierra Mountains to the north and the inhospitable Copper Dessert to the east. It is the main center of global trade and influence of The Desert Kilrans. Tabr is the manufacturing capital of Haerra, housing solar powered furnaces and workshops where metals are alchemically transformed and incredible machines are dreamt and built.\n\nIt is in Tabr that the disparate tribes of Desert Kilrans come together to sell their unique contraptions and offer their superior crafting services to anyone who has the coin to pay for it. Though Tabr lacks coordinated rule, the Kilrans fight fiercely to protect it. Though Tabr has come under siege half a dozen times, the city of chaos has never fallen.\n",

Due to its position in the mountain range it is impossible to reach except for a thin, treacherous road heading from the south to the north into the mountains.\n\nTaladar is a harsh, tough town full of miners and prospectors who live in wooden shacks and ill-built shanties. The metal mined here is sold to the metal workers of the Free City of Vtello. Taladar has a number of unlicensed drinking houses where gambling is rife. It also has the highest murder rate in any town in northern Haerra, even surpassing the Free City. Despite being a mining town, its largest exports are the highly addictive substance ‘shudder’ and illegally brewed whiskey.\n",
    "lore2": "## **LOOKING FOR INTOXICANTS; FINDING GOLD**\n\nBefore Taladar was a mining town, it was a small village home to several known fugitives. These criminals made a meager living manufacturing and transporting illegal whiskey and shudder, an incredibly addictive substance imbued with minor magic and other materials. Though these things are still produced in Taladar today, the town’s expansion is mainly thanks to the accidental discovery of gold in a nearby mountainous stream. Since mining operations began in Taladar, other precious resources including silver, crystals, and even worldstone shards were found in rich quantities around the area.\n",
    "lore3": "## **THE PHANTOM OF MADAM MIANA**\n_Famous Taladar Ghost Story_\n\n> _Naught but fifty years ago, Madam Miana ran the Silver Goddess brothel. As beautiful as she was shrewd, the Madam was desired by all in Taladar. The Madam turned down all advances, no matter the station of the men–be it miner or lord–or the amount of the offering–be it gold or gems. For such a place as the budding Taladar, this was a tough ask, for even now the men are but one step above animals._\n> _One night, as the Madam was closing the brothel, four men stormed the house–armed to the teeth and determined to have their way with the Madam. When the men set upon the Madam, she fought back tooth and claw, cutting into one of the men with a hidden knife. In the ensuing chaos, one of the men stabbed the Madam in the stomach, mortally wounding her. It is said that the whole town could hear her terrible, echoing scream as she fell. But when the house was investigated, all the men and prostitutes within were found dead, blood dripping from their ears. The Madam, however, was missing. The only sign of her was a trail of blood leading out into the snow, where it abruptly ended._\n> _SInce then, residents of Taladar en masse report hearing the Madam’s distant screams echoing deep within the mines and along the mountain-faces. Every so often, men of ill-repute go missing from the town, never to be seen again. It is thought that the Madam haunts the town, killing any men who wander too far into evil or lust._\n",

It is a prosperous farming and fishing community, turned port town, and is quickly blossoming into a lively city. Its advantageous climate (mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers) makes for ideal crop conditions in Tarv and surrounding areas.\n\nBeyond farming and fishing, Tarv’s craft industry is flourishing, most notably in metalsmithing, steelwork, fine carpet weaving, and silk production. Despite Tarv’s relatively small size, it serves as one of  Haerra’s greatest multicultural melting pots, attracting elves, vira, and even dwarves to live in harmony amongst the native human populace.   \n",

Over a hundred years before Tarv began to prosper, when the ‘town’ was but a small village, an exiled lord from Westmarsh seized the parcel and built his keep there, the keep which still stands today. Although always strange, the lord at first exercised restraint in his rule, remaining aloof and uninvolved in village affairs. One day, however, the lord found his only son dead in the village square, and Tarv’s existence became a nightmare. The lord rounded up every man, woman, and child in the area and, one by one, pushed them from the highest point of his keep, coating the base of the keep with blood. Throughout the whole event, the lord laughed with a sadistic glee, until he too dropped from the keep’s tower. Today, it is said that if one stands close enough to the base or apex of the keep and listens, you can still hear the lord’s laughter echoing off the stone.\n",

The flora and fauna twisted and became mere shades of their former species, adopting erratic behaviors and terrifying mutations.

Many legends surround the Warden; some posit him as the first Mancer, others claim that he is an archangel sent by Isidor himself to teach the people Ichor magic. No matter the reality, none question the Shade Warden while within his halls.\n",

When the Worldstone was destroyed, the immense fluctuation of energy was so great that it decimated the laws of nature binding the area together. An incredible explosion tore apart the mountain into several pieces, however the more lasting feature of the Worldstone destruction was its effects on gravity. Gravity split, parts of it pulling the mountain into the sky, and others pulling it back to the earth, until an equilibrium was reached. Now, an onlooker would see a large mountainous mass gently oscillating high above a massive, volcano-like depression below--the bottom of which plunges hundreds of feet into the earth. Smaller shards of Arreat Summit orbit the floating mountain, propelled by some further mutation of gravity. All kinds of unnatural storms and weather phenomena plague the area, and seeing Arreat Summit experience a clear day is rarer than observing the frequent freakish storms consume its peak.\n",

One night while in training, he crept through the dark: to prove himself early, he set off with spark. He rode through the mountains–equipped only with blade–to test his true mettle, or into history fade. The dread-monger dracon, known as Choanlo in name, awaited Vrogal with draco-breath en-flame. Choanlo the Terrible set upon Vrogal quick, alighting his cap like an old waxen wick. But Vrogal did not waver, his sword flashed in the night–for today he became legend: it takes only one smite. He struck through iron scales, so fearless indeed, and when the blow landed Choanlo did bleed. Choanlo let out such a terrible roar: all in Sim’yrr’ha heard this from shore. Vrogal the Fearless returned so covered in blood–but not a scratch on his body, save some burns and some mud. Despite such great victory, his master did chide: so returned he to school, dress’d in draco-hyde._\n",

Among these, he found plant creatures who were quickly becoming extinct, preyed upon by the more vicious predators of Mycelia.\n\nTo aid these creatures, Bronth built a stable gravity vortex at the center of a large stone and earthen cylinder, inverting gravity in the area. Mushrooms grew down from the top of the cylinder, providing homes to the near-extinct plant creatures in a safe haven from predators, who couldn't access the area. Since, the Gardens of Bronth have become a thriving metropolis for all kinds of friendly plant creatures. Bronth dwelt in the garden until he passed away, teaching humanoid concepts, magic, and the common tongue to the creatures who resided there.\n",

At first the creatures were extremely wary, not only of Bronth, but especially of the disconcerting feeling of walking upright on an ‘upside-down’ surface. Eventually, however, the creatures grew to thrive in such an environment, developing playful activities and sustenance mechanisms (using the gravity vortex to catch insects, for example) around the unique gravity area. The creatures carved homes from the mushrooms–their native habitat–but impressively built them upside down to accommodate the inverted gravity. As Bronth taught farming concepts and technological development to these creatures, they quickly advanced into a quasi-modern civilization, merging their unique needs with humanoid tools and technology.\n",

I have been able to establish basic communication with my friend in the Porcini Tribe, Ig’abn’skk (or so he seems to pronounce it, though my phonetic transcription is likely inaccurate). After a month of daily correspondence, Ig’abn’skk has been able to replicate a number of basic humanoid words and concepts, and he gleans at least some rudimentary understanding of them, it seems. My own progress in their tongue and culture is more slow-going, so perhaps the intelligence of Ig’abn’skk surpasses even my own.

The central attraction of the festival, however, are the Supreme Cart Trials. These ‘Trials’ are a wild assortment of games and competitions. Among these, the most famous is the Cart Run, where teams of three dwarves compete to traverse every mine in Morgraf Hold in a single cart–all without stepping a foot outside. Alongside many other challenges, the Cart Run involves fighting off cave creatures, mine cart jousting, mineral collection, and _lots_ of drinking.\n",

    "lore1": "## **ELARIS**\n\nElaris is a tiny planet on Haerra with a small, orbiting moon located deep within the Penelam Icelands. Gravity is so strong in the area that--once within a couple miles of Elaris--one can float, eventually being pulled in towards the massive floating orb. Elaris is home to the Gravitum Magi: a sect of mages who specialize in gravity magic.\n\nMeasuring roughly three miles in diameter, Elaris’ spherical construction is a work of engineering and magical genius–and the product of centuries of toil in the freezing temperatures of the Icelands. The interior of Elaris is composed of numerous platforms, each housing a number of chambers. The platforms are connected by a vacant vertical chamber that runs through the center, where Gravitum Magi float up and down to their desired level. The small moon that orbits Elaris is only a few hundred feet in diameter, and houses the Gravitum Archmagi: the ruling class of Elaris. Despite its massive size, a mere six hundred people live in Elaris, including the magi and their families.\n",
    "lore2": "## **MAGOCRACY AND EXILE**\n\nLong before Elaris was conceived, the Gravitum Magi were a budding order of telekinesis mages based in Irondell. The gravitum magi sought a way to automate the gravitational processes used to lift the floating islands of Elysium, without requiring the expensive and magically-taxing contraptions used by the Elysium mages. Before they completed their project, however, they became embroiled in the Magocracy Wars–siding with the pro-magocracy entente. When the magocracy proponents were defeated and scattered, the gravitum magi fled to the Penelam Icelands to continue their studies away from the public eye. During those centuries of isolation, they experimented and developed more potent ways to harness gravity, achieving incredible success. They revere gravity as a sort of god, creating a religious aspect to their order.\n",
    "lore3": "## **EXCERPT FROM THE JOURNAL OF OMIDAS**\n\n> _Though my research is preliminary, the results so far are perplexing. The source of gravitum magic does not appear to be mana energy, as is commonly assumed. Of course, few have researched this. If the Elysium mages created floating islands, then the vehicle behind the floatation must be mana, correct? Well, perhaps not. The Elysium mages use contraptions which include mana arcana, alongside runes and worldstone shards. Both of the latter components are known to harness all manner of energies: from mana to kona to chaos. Perhaps, unwittingly, the Elysium mages unlocked a ‘gravitum’ energy and assumed it to be mana–we all assumed it to be mana…_\n",

A mighty city of gigantic buildings, sheer walls, and vast promenades; Khagresh is home to the largest population of giants on Haerra. Once the towering titans, feared by all, these individuals suffered radical decline at the hands of the humanoids, just as the dragons once did. Instead of risking near-extinction like the dragons, they fled to the safety of treacherous mountain ranges, where they can still be found today. After thousands of years without the appropriate amounts of food, their size dwindled from 20-25ft to 12-15ft.\n\nKhagresh retains the titan’s old style of architecture: massive stone blocks built crudely to staggering heights. The whole city, despite spanning 2-3 mountain passes, only houses a meager 200 giants. The giants lead a bitter lifestyle, scavenging for scarce food in the nearby passes. Every so often giants will flood down into the valley, clearing the area of game before retreating back to the safety of the mountains. The giants still blame and fear humanoids for the decimation of their race. As such, no humanoids are welcome in Khagresh.\n",

Though they still retain their titanous ancestors’ style of building, their culture has changed dramatically since their exile from the lowlands of Haerra. Once a warlike people of blood and carnage, wherein one’s worth was determined by their prowess and bravery in battle, the giants have since adopted a much more harmonious lifestyle. Believing the scourge of the titans to be a warning against their tyranny, the modern culture of the giants revolves around perfecting and purifying oneself through meditation and self-discipline. The giants revere Hehyjul, the High Titan–a god of sorts that pervades through all aspects of nature.\n",

Tenotichi is built around a large dusty crater that disappears deep into the earth, with no visible bottom. The humans and Kilrans who settled here built their town around and down into the sides of the crater. At first, the town’s location appears striking and odd, for there is no water source within miles of the town. Despite this, the people have set up a number of large water barrels as if expecting rain. However, an extended stay in Tenotichi reveals the spectacular truth.\n\nEvery day, the High Priest of Tenotichi climbs to a central platform suspended over the crater and conducts ritualistic sacrifice of varied types of animals. These sacrifices are then tossed down into the crater. Roughly once per week, an observer will see the reason behind such a sacrifice: a massive Great Wyrm rises from the darkness and spouts a tumult of water into the air. People await this moment with reverence, collecting water in bowls, barrels, and large wooden tanks. The people have learned to purify this water and create a civilization around it.\n",

Fascinated by the crater, the sages camped there for the night to study it. As they slept, a sudden flood of water crashed over them, nearly washing them into the pit. Awestruck by this occurrence, the sages remained, sending word back to the people of Haerra telling of this incredible place. As the population grew slowly, a fervorous religiosity overtook the colony centered around the Great Wyrm. The people came to revere the source of this water, creating dictates around its perceived teachings and offering sacrifices to the pit. A common theme found in Tenotichi worship is the reverence for the wyrm and water, mirrored by a spite for the sun and fire.\n",
