Starca, The City of Dreams

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

What do you think the tops of the city look like mommy? Is it like everyone says? Do the stars really rest upon the tips of the spires and the gods themselves sit upon the rooftops? I hope I get to see what that looks like one day.
- An inquisitive Starcan child, overheard in the market on 22NE137.

While not the capital of the Kingdom of Bruaca, Starca is undeniably the largest metropolitan area on the continent. With massive towers stretching into the sky and deep tunnels burrowing into the depths, a citizen could spend their whole life in Starca without a reason or desire to ever leave.

The Sovereign Host

Sun, 18 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Sovereign Host embody all that is good in the world. There is no formalized and unified structure to the worship on the Sovereigns and this manifests in the faith of those throughout the lands. In a town, the farmer may also serve as a priest of Arawi or a smith, one of Onatar.

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Capital: Sapphirewatch
Current leader(s): Grand Wizard Alectus
National Colors: Green/Orange

Almothar is situated in the southwest of the continent and is defined by its lush and magical forests, plentiful fey, and esteemed magical university. The nation is one with a long and rich history, almost as long as that of the Imperium.

The Church of Ostela

Sun, 09 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Church of Ostela is an anomaly in Draisomus. While temples and other places of worship to the Sovereigns exist in every city and nation, they typically vary based on the region. This is especially true is smaller villages outside the cities where local traditions dominate. This behavior is starkly different in Ostela, where the government exerts its power to standardize and mandate uniformity in every aspect of worship.

This is most apparent in the leadership of the nation, the High Reverend, the highest authority in both political and religious matters.

Neperus

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Capital: Nalafur
Current leader(s): Labor Conference of Neperus
National Colors: Red/Black

If Almothar is the seat of magic in the Alliance, and Bruaca is the seat of power, then Neperus is without a doubt the center of all technological advancement in the world. Any Neperian will proudly tell you that their nation is the sole reason the entire world isn’t under imperial control. Any they would be right. The turn of the war and inevitable stalemate can be traced exactly to the invention of the Warforged by the Artificer’s Union.

The Nine Holds

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Capital: The Halls of Greybelly
Current leader(s): The Nine Dwarf Lords

The Nine Dwarven Holds tend to keep to themselves. With the war far away and the great mountains protecting them, the Dwarven Lords officially withdrew from the Western Alliance mere days after the Day of Dread. Despite leaving the Alliance, the dwarves are still more than happy to mine and sell the materials they gather deep underground.

Ostela

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Capital: Parstek
Current leader(s): High Reverend Vladyslav IX
National Colors: Yellow/White

Ostela, one of the major members of the Western Alliance, is a theocratic nation that expands from the borders of Bruaca, all the way to the western edge of Neperus. Many of the citizens of Ostela do not care for the war or their nation’s involvement. Commanding none of the leadership of Bruaca, the innovation of Neperus, nor the resources of the Nine Holds, Ostela’s main involvement is simply out of logistical necessity, existing between the aforementioned nations. While many benefited from the introduction of the rails through the center of the nation many more suffered as a result of it.

Sufham Grasslands

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Capital: N/A
Current leader(s): N/A

The Sufham Grasslands are home to many Halfling tribes that call the plains their home. An ecologically rich region, many species of fauna are only found here and the Halflings and their druidic tribes, ensure that the nature here is protected.

The Watchlands of Obraca

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Capital: Nalafur
Current leader(s): General Rogart, under the appointment of The Western Alliance

The Watchlands of Obraca are an autonomous zone under the control of the Western Alliance leadership. Many ages ago when it became clear that the Imperium was once again attempting to enact its territorial claims, Neperus decided to split off much of its land to create a buffer zone between itself and the Imperium. The Labor Conference of Neperus, with no interest in managing a military zone, gave control of the area over to the military entity that would one day become the army of the Western Alliance.
