Kharndam Guide: Tsarnus

Tsarnus

Once called “Kharndam’s Katar” due to its pointed shape, the Lartharn Peninsula was home to very few crowns until Tsarn the Patient took control of the land from Naak-Ost-Chyl-Nyit the “Sablewyrm” in 89 OD. Tsarnus became a state in 93 OD, and it took over a century before Tsarnus became the ruling authority for the [...]

Manthar’s Notes: Kharndam Calendars (Part III)

The Low Race Calendars:
Dwarftime (DT), Rhamathreckoning (RR), Drakereckoning (UD/OD), Sovereignty Flight Years (BF/IF/AF), Impramark (IM), and Eaglereckoning (ER)

While there have been more than nineteen major calendars or ways to mark history by the many non-progenitor races, only six have any major relevance or dominant use on Dharual today (even to scholars). While the centaurs of [...]

Kharndam Guide: Wyrdoors

Wyrdoors

Kharndam Guide: Shay

Shay
One of the Four First Races of the world of Dharual, the shay bristle with elemental powers but never grow taller than young human children. The four natural shay are the arshay, flying wind-shapers; the ershay, hard-edged rock-melders; the firshay, blazing-haired fire-wielders ever-wreathed in heat mirages; and the washay, wan water-breathers and wave riders.

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. Their pelts and hides seem to adopt coloration similar to the terrain in which they live for camouflage purposes (after two generations in one settlement).
Rhamathi are considered the strongest [...]

Kharndam Guide: Lluranal

Lluranal
Formerly the breadbasket of Kharndam and the heart of its populations, Lluranal has fallen on harder times the past few centuries. While still a relatively peaceful agrarian society, Lluranal has long been the westernmost province of the Imperam and a much-taxed provider for less-fecund areas of the empire. For more than 30 years, it has [...]
