Kharndam Guide: Twelvelands

Twelvelands

The Twelvelands, while founded in 1,360 OD, have only the most tenuous of political foundations as a state. Still, the military might and independence of its people are well marked by the Dragonforces in Lluranal to their south. The bowl-shaped depression of the area creates a large freshwater lake at the heart of the Twelvelands, [...]

Manthar’s Notes: Kharndam Calendars (Part I)

Manthar’s Note: “The matter on which you enquired I have excerpted from Volume the First of Ajra of Mnoll’s To Traverse the Rivers of Time: An Historia Rokhalica. Fascinating really—the provenance of the copy in Drakesfall’s Incandescent Library. Ajra himself wrote the books between 7870 and 7900 Aureckoning (see below, dear lad, and all shall [...]

Wyrdoors

Quote by Zaran of Drakesfall, 692 OD, from The Book of Zaran, held in Drakesfall’s Library Incandescent.

After the Golden Age, when nigh every race last came together in the Aurum Alliance, the Fourth Age birthed the powerful mystics known as the Akanri. This mysterious order (with members including elves, dwarves, humans, prigams, shay, rhamathi, [...]

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 [...]
