‡ Post-Split Group B

Starting in [[Isamarr]], subterranean [[Enclaves]] hold more than a struggling city can handle. Driven out by party-induced disaster, the characters split into groups: one to retake Avecin's homeland, the other to chase the one who claimed it.

Setting

== Introduction ==

Mondevai: a world where giant quakes rearrange the bustling cities, tumultuous oceans, and lush forests in an unending rearrangement. Nations strive and people toil for supremacy in a world bathed in chaos. Immortals wander among men, trying to preserve the little of a forgotten paradise that remains. The planet, cracked along thousands of unnatural faults, is drawn after the artifacts they hold.

The survivors of a prehistoric disaster have spread and changed. They work and they build, staving off encroachment from a supernatural plague that threatens all sentient life. Forgotten [[Enclaves]] holding the remnants of a lost civilization rise to the surface and the mighty races of the scale compete to master the legacy of the ancients. Beneath the surface, men ride on torrents of water and chaos, using the altered mantle of the world as an enormous trade route for their goods. Deeper still, some guard the border of the Shadowfell and fight to keep the dead from resurfacing.

----

== World ==

While different religions have their explanations for its existence, one thing is for sure: Flux is a force opposite to that of the universe, and it seeks to destroy matter, particularly sentient beings, and reconstruct it into new forms. The substance called "[[Fahrstone]]" acts to influence [[The Flows]], of which Flux is a one of many, and different forms allow for varying magics. Arcane magic is that of the manipulation of Vim and Vigor, while ‘divine’ magic is provided by the verogods. Rigor presents the unending threat of the undead, returning the bodies of the once living to the world to haunt its people.

Without the presence of white Fahrstone, Flux is attracted to large groups of sentient creatures, and an appropriately sized portion of the mineral is required to prevent annihilation. Rigor, too, is staved off within the mineral’s power. Thus, Fahrstone is below only food and water in resource value on Mondevai. Fahrstone is extremely flammable, and the colored types interact in strange ways, e.g., red Fahrstone opens a portal to hell when lit. Larger chunks of colored Fahrstone are resistant to more intense flames.
[[Image:PlanetaryRing.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The planetary ring around Mondevai.]]
The [[Verogods]] wield ancient artifacts that cause the Flows to follow after them, willingly or unwillingly. As they move throughout the world, the planet physically shifts behind them, creating an ever-changing surface that the peoples of Mondevai must struggle to survive in. Mondevai has no moon. However, a planetary ring of thousands of small objects circles the equator. Therefore, the tides on the planet are effectively nonexistent.

Due to the constantly changing nature of the planet's surface, one collective guild has immense influence across all boundaries- the [[cartographers]]' guild. Members of the guild typically are granted diplomatic immunity in exchange for up-to-date maps of the explored lands. Both the [[miners]]' and the [[archeralds]]' guilds also hold heavy influence upon nations.

Gaps, seas, and gas bubbles beneath [[Letier]] and the [[Wandering Isles]] allow some peoples to live beneath the surface of the planet. This region is called the [[Underdark]]. From these solid, populated areas rivers flow down into the core: The [[Shadowfell]].

The Shadowfell is the region where souls descend to prior to their (in many faiths) reincarnation, and is heavily saturated by Rigor. It is the alleged home of the Vigils. From the rivers on the surface, water travels into the underdark and continues down until all the rivers begin to form an intricate web. From here, a soul and its body must navigate the waterway to Muericho, the city of the dead. As would be expected, not all souls successfully navigate passage, and are instead separated from their corporeal selves. Caught in rising currents, the bodies of these unfortunates rush upward and are deposited as soulless undead upon riverbanks. Even water sources on Letier make men wary, as undead outbreaks from a blocked passage can wipe out a community in hours.

Tiban

2016-06-14T21:31:55Z

108.18.236.135: /* Notable States */

''This article is a stub. Got an idea for lore? Let's talk it over!''

[[Image:Tiban.png|thumb|right|The northeastern part of the Tiban Plateau.]]
The Free States of Tiban are not a singular nation, but rather a collection of city-states that recognize each others' existence and autonomy. While not required, most of these cities are located atop [[Enclaves]], by rivers, or near particularly fertile patches of ground.

== Notable States ==
;'''Arkhosia'''
:The largest city-state in Tiban, [[Arkhosia]] sits across the mountains from [[Haelink]]. Beneath it lies the priceless military cache known as the 'Drawing Room of Hlyn.'

;'''Nassis'''
:A trading state, [[Nassis]] sits at the mouth of an [[uplift]] of the River Thain. Downstream lie the cities of [[Apophia]], [[Katos]], and [[Thundermarl]].

;'''Katos'''
:Katos is home to one of the premiere military academies in Tiban. Even Marran officers occasionally are sent here to learn. On the shores of Lake Tibanian, a downfall of the Thain will take travelers to many locations in [[Letier]].

Confederacy of the Scale

2016-06-14T19:56:31Z

108.18.236.135:

Signed several centuries ago, the Confederacy of the Scale is a multinational pact. The treaty establishes an outline of operations for the ownership and record-keeping of [[Enclaves]], as well as penalties, teleportation etiquette, and several miscellaneous trade clauses.

The Kingdom of [[Turath]], another Reptilian-dominated country, rebuffed Marran pressure to sign the treaty due to long-standing grievances. Fiercely protective of their Enclaves' secrets, the [[Desert Wars]] that resulted from [[Vaumark]]'s attempts to force the regulations upon Turath killed tens of thousands and enveloped the capital, Bael, in a massive hellgate.

== Purpose ==

Sigil’s legacy is proudly claimed by the reptilian races. Although the nations established themselves independently and have frequent conflict, they discovered similarities in their shared culture honoring the Fallen Empire. The Kingdom, the [[Marran Empire]], and the various city-states of [[Tiban]] have signed a pact between themselves and the [[Archeralds]]’ guild, protecting their shared history and claiming its lost secrets. Whenever an Enclave is unearthed, it becomes the rightful property of the discoverer, granting them nobility within their nation. First, however, the archeralds are granted the right to document all contents.

The teleportation circles found within many Enclaves are reason enough for their value. These massive portals, powered by red or blue [[Fahrstone]], allow for instantaneous transport between connected cities. The three largest known, which are continuously operational, can be found in Vaumark, [[Zantaashi]], and [[Arkhosia]].

== Signatory Nations ==

=== Free States of Tiban ===

The Tibanese are largely dragonborn who emerged upon the plateau some thousands of years ago. Since then, they have spread and established large, independent cities within the region and even beyond. Under the Confederacy, each new state that wishes its independence recognized must sign the treaty and grant rights Archeralds’ guild, as most cities are founded upon pieces of the Ancient City. [[Arkhosia]], the greatest Enclave yet discovered, lies by a lake on the Tiban Plateau.

=== The Holy Kingdom of Zantaashi ===

Centered around the ancient vineyards in the murky mirelands. They hold that it is their duty to restore the karmic balance to the world. The Kingdom has had a much smaller diplomatic presence than the other two reptilian groups since the signing of the treaty. Their alcoholic beverages are the best in the world.

=== Marran Empire ===

The harbor of Sigil is the heart of the Marran Empire. An oligarchy, wealth and knowledge are king here. Built upon the remains of several ancient kingdoms, their cities are now connected by massive canals and rivers within the [[underdark]].

----

== Conflicts ==

=== War of the Dragon ===
The militaristic fervor of the Zantaashi led to an invasion attempt on Arkhosia and several other city-states in order to claim Enclaves. Driven off, the war ultimately resulted in Marran involvement and culminated in the Treaty.

=== Desert Wars ===
When the Turathi King refused to sign… etc.

----

== The Treaty ==
;''Tenets''
:No armies through portals.
:Report all vaults to Archeralds.
:Archeralds have first right of entry
:etc...
