Kharndam Guide: Human Calendars

There have been many calendars across the continent of Rokhal, but only three are still in common use around the lands of Old Kharndam and the Imperam by the rulers and most peoples.

Kharndam Guide: The Rhamathi

Rhamathi are stocky humanoids similar to dwarves in stature and musculature, though their hooves and ram-like horns prove they are not members of that extinct race.

These lands have always had ogre problems, even at the height of the Pegasus Throne’s power. They have always been a threat to more civilized races, whether they were the mottled ogres of the southern plains, the web-fingered marsh ogres, or the gray-furred stone ogres. The massive creatures are almost half again larger than the [...]
