Together they built a subterranean civilization beneath frozen northern peaks and coexisted cautiously with other surface races until dark hordes invaded, sparking a devastating war. During this conflict, the Father Velkhr fell to corruption through forbidden magic, rebelled against Azükhr, and ultimately summoned the monstrous Deep Queen, whose emergence led to catastrophic destruction. Though the dwarves and Wardens defeated her in a godlike war, Azükhr was slain, the great northern stronghold was shattered, and dwarven unity collapsed into rival clans. In the aftermath, the Fathers scattered across the world, abandoning kingship, while a lingering prophecy foretells that when the Deep Queen rises again, the dwarves will reunite under a restored line of Azükhr to face a final fate.<br /> <br /> == The Major Powers == <br /> <br /> === Ghrnhrÿm ===<br /> The Maker<br /> The One; The Soul-Forger; The All-Father<br /> Hammer: Hrïghuhr<br /> Anvil: Kÿruhr<br /> <br /> == Minor Powers (Wardens) ==<br /> <br /> === Sükÿk ===<br /> <br /> Warden of War, Strength, and Combat<br /> <br /> === Rÿdhr ===<br /> <br /> Warden of Family, Clan, Law, and Honor<br /> <br /> === Urata ===<br /> Warden of Wealth<br /> <br /> === Âpür ===<br /> Warden of Craftsmanship and Artistry<br /> <br /> === Ezhü ===<br /> Warden of Poetry, Song, History, and Knowledge<br /> <br /> === Ührü ===<br /> Warden of Death<br /> <br /> === Ükhï ===<br /> Warden of Thieves, Liars, and Oathbreakers<br /> <br /> === Bÿhm Ÿhrkü ===<br /> <br /> The Deep Queen<br /> <br /> Called Shudde M’ell in the common tongue; Queen of the Underworld; <br /> <br /> Bÿhm Ÿhrkü is a mile long great grey worm-like creature that burrows through the earth, melting all rocks in its wake. She is the supreme regent of all Chthonians as well as the largest and most powerful of the race.<br /> <br /> Bÿhm Ÿhrkü appears as a colossal worm with tentacles sprouting from its head, and is so large that it can cause earthquakes by simply moving. Shudde M’ell is suspected to have been one of the main causes of the great tremors that nearly destroyed the lands in the Great Cataclysm, when the Old Ones were thrown down by the Elder Gods and imprisoned.<br /> Shudde M’ell is said to be imprisoned deep below the surface of the lands.

only a few held to honor.<br /> <br /> A rebellion ignited in the deepest mines.<br /> <br /> The halls echoed not with hammers but with screams.<br /> <br /> Brother slew brother, cousin felled cousin.<br /> <br /> The War Beneath raged in caverns lit by spell-fire and flowing blood.<br /> <br /> Azükhr led the loyal clans with unbreakable will.<br /> <br /> Despite Velkhr’s sorcery, the rebels were driven downward, into the deep black where even dwarven lantern-light refused to hold.<br /> <br /> == The Summoning of the Deep Queen ==<br /> <br /> Cornered and desperate, Velkhr enacted a final, forbidden ritual.<br /> <br /> In the abyss, from a pit older than the Wardens, he summoned the Deep Queen—<br /> <br /> A monstrous burrowing titan, mother of horrors, whose endless spawn crawled like nightmares through tunnels unmade.<br /> <br /> Her emergence shattered caverns, swallowed cities, and drowned entire clans in darkness.<br /> <br /> == The Fallen Crown and the Shattered Homeland ==<br /> <br /> The loyal dwarves, with aid from the Seven Wardens, fought a battle so terrible it is counted not merely as war, but the God-War.<br /> <br /> At last, the Deep Queen was slain—her body collapsing into an abyss that sealed itself behind her.<br /> <br /> Her surviving spawn fled into the world’s secret deeps, along with Velkhr and the last of his treacherous house, never to be seen again.<br /> <br /> But victory bore a cruel price:<br /> <br /> Azükhr fell, mortally wounded by the Deep Queen’s dying thrash.<br /> <br /> The Crown shattered.<br /> <br /> The homeland fortress was broken, its greatest halls collapsed forever under the northern ice.<br /> <br /> == The Sundering of the Clans ==<br /> <br /> The Houses of Velkhr who had remained loyal decreed that never again would one of their line claim a single chieftain or king.<br /> <br /> The Fathers mourned Azükhr.<br /> <br /> They argued over who should bear the Crown that no longer existed.<br /> <br /> At last, grief and pride tore them apart.<br /> <br /> Thus came the Lost Time— The exodus from the ruined north.<br /> <br /> The remaining Five Fathers and the loyal house leaders of Clan Velkhr parted ways, each leading followers across the wide lands.<br /> <br /> They founded new city-fortresses—pillars of dwarven might—but none claimed kingship.<br /> <br /> Thus the dwarves were sundered into Clans, each proud, each fierce, each guided by the Warden of its Father-Patron.<br /> <br /> == The Prophecy of Return ==<br /> <br /> Yet Ezhü the Lore-Warden spoke a prophecy before departing the northern ruins:<br /> <br /> “When the Deep Queen rises again and her brood blackens the under-roads,<br /> <br /> when the mountains tremble and the world’s roots bleed,<br /> <br /> Then shall the loyal Velkhr rise and re-forge their Clan under a new leader, who will restore the honor and glory of the name.<br /> <br /> Then shall the line of Azükhr be restored.<br /> <br /> Then, and only then, will the the Seven stand as one again.<br /> <br /> The Wardens themselves shall march beside their children.<br /> <br /> In that final forging, the fate of dwarfkind shall be decided.”<br /> <br /> Thus do dwarven priests teach.<br /> <br /> Thus do the clan-sages record.<br /> <br /> Thus do the forges echo with hope and dread.<br /> <br /> For all dwarves know:<br /> <br /> The Deep Queen sleeps, but she is not dead.<br /> <br /> And somewhere, buried in the lost halls under the frozen north,<br /> <br /> the blood of Azükhr waits to rise again.</div>

Under those icy crowns, they hollowed a city-fortress vast beyond imagining.<br /> <br /> Ghrnhrÿm Himself blessed the hearthstone, and the Wardens took up eternal vigil over its gates.<br /> <br /> It was said no fortress before or after equaled its glory.<br /> <br /> === The Peoples of the Sunlit Lands ===<br /> <br /> Dwarves rose from their depths to greet the world and found it filled with other children of creation: Elves, slender as spears; Humans, bold and restless; Gnomes, quick of mind; Halflings, gentle and curious.<br /> <br /> Friendship bloomed—trade, song, mutual aid.<br /> <br /> And yet the dwarves remained apart, dwelling mostly in their stone halls, as was their nature.<br /> <br /> === The Coming of the Hordes ===<br /> <br /> Then fell the shadow of the dark breeds: Orcs, Goblins, Trolls, Ogres, Giants. <br /> <br /> From the east they flooded like a plague of claws and iron.<br /> <br /> The mountains shook with war; the forges blazed day and night to supply arms.<br /> <br /> Father Velkhr, gifted in magic, summoned stone-spirits, magma-wraiths, and creatures wrought from the bones of the mountains to aid the dwarves in battle.<br /> <br /> But with each spell, a stain appeared upon him—flecks of darkness in his eyes, whispers in his sleep, hunger for secrets better untold.<br /> <br /> === The War Beneath ===<br /> <br /> At last Velkhr’s corruption flowered. <br /> <br /> He coveted the Crown of Azükhr.<br /> <br /> He claimed the Wardens favored him, that magic should rule the dwarves.<br /> <br /> Most of his House followed him; only a few held to honor.<br /> <br /> A rebellion ignited in the deepest mines.<br /> <br /> The halls echoed not with hammers but with screams.<br /> <br /> Brother slew brother, cousin felled cousin.<br /> <br /> The War Beneath raged in caverns lit by spell-fire and flowing blood.<br /> <br /> Azükhr led the loyal clans with unbreakable will.<br /> <br /> Despite Velkhr’s sorcery, the rebels were driven downward, into the deep black where even dwarven lantern-light refused to hold.<br /> <br /> === The Summoning of the Deep Queen ===<br /> <br /> Cornered and desperate, Velkhr enacted a final, forbidden ritual.<br /> <br /> In the abyss, from a pit older than the Wardens, he summoned the Deep Queen—<br /> <br /> A monstrous burrowing titan, mother of horrors, whose endless spawn crawled like nightmares through tunnels unmade.<br /> <br /> Her emergence shattered caverns, swallowed cities, and drowned entire clans in darkness.<br /> <br /> === The Fallen Crown and the Shattered Homeland ===<br /> <br /> The loyal dwarves, with aid from the Seven Wardens, fought a battle so terrible it is counted not merely as war, but the God-War.<br /> <br /> At last, the Deep Queen was slain—her body collapsing into an abyss that sealed itself behind her.<br /> <br /> Her surviving spawn fled into the world’s secret deeps, along with Velkhr and the last of his treacherous house, never to be seen again.<br /> <br /> But victory bore a cruel price:<br /> <br /> Azükhr fell, mortally wounded by the Deep Queen’s dying thrash.<br /> <br /> The Crown shattered.<br /> <br /> The homeland fortress was broken, its greatest halls collapsed forever under the northern ice.<br /> <br /> === The Sundering of the Clans ===<br /> <br /> The Houses of Velkhr who had remained loyal decreed that never again would one of their line claim a single chieftain or king.<br /> <br /> The Fathers mourned Azükhr.<br /> <br /> They argued over who should bear the Crown that no longer existed.<br /> <br /> At last, grief and pride tore them apart.<br /> <br /> Thus came the Lost Time— The exodus from the ruined north.<br /> <br /> The remaining Five Fathers and the loyal house leaders of Clan Velkhr parted ways, each leading followers across the wide lands.<br /> <br /> They founded new city-fortresses—pillars of dwarven might—but none claimed kingship.<br /> <br /> Thus the dwarves were sundered into Clans, each proud, each fierce, each guided by the Warden of its Father-Patron.<br /> <br /> === The Prophecy of Return ===<br /> <br /> Yet Ezhü the Lore-Warden spoke a prophecy before departing the northern ruins:<br /> <br /> “When the Deep Queen rises again and her brood blackens the under-roads,<br /> <br /> when the mountains tremble and the world’s roots bleed,<br /> <br /> Then shall the loyal Velkhr rise and re-forge their Clan under a new leader, who will restore the honor and glory of the name.<br /> <br /> Then shall the line of Azükhr be restored.<br /> <br /> Then, and only then, will the the Seven stand as one again.<br /> <br /> The Wardens themselves shall march beside their children.<br /> <br /> In that final forging, the fate of dwarfkind shall be decided.”<br /> <br /> Thus do dwarven priests teach.<br /> <br /> Thus do the clan-sages record.<br /> <br /> Thus do the forges echo with hope and dread.<br /> <br /> For all dwarves know:<br /> <br /> The Deep Queen sleeps, but she is not dead.<br /> <br /> And somewhere, buried in the lost halls under the frozen north,<br /> <br /> the blood of Azükhr waits to rise again.<br /> <br /> == The Major Powers == <br /> <br /> === Ghrnhrÿm ===<br /> The Maker<br /> The One;

Shudde M’ell is suspected to have been one of the main causes of the great tremors that nearly destroyed the lands in the Great Cataclysm, when the Old Ones were thrown down by the Elder Gods and imprisoned.<br /> Shudde M’ell is said to be imprisoned deep below the surface of the lands.

Under those icy crowns, they hollowed a city-fortress vast beyond imagining.<br /> <br /> Ghrnhrÿm Himself blessed the hearthstone, and the Wardens took up eternal vigil over its gates.<br /> <br /> It was said no fortress before or after equaled its glory.<br /> <br /> === The Peoples of the Sunlit Lands ===<br /> <br /> Dwarves rose from their depths to greet the world and found it filled with other children of creation: Elves, slender as spears; Humans, bold and restless; Gnomes, quick of mind; Halflings, gentle and curious.<br /> <br /> Friendship bloomed—trade, song, mutual aid.<br /> <br /> And yet the dwarves remained apart, dwelling mostly in their stone halls, as was their nature.<br /> <br /> === The Coming of the Hordes ==<br /> <br /> Then fell the shadow of the dark breeds: Orcs, Goblins, Trolls, Ogres, Giants. <br /> <br /> From the east they flooded like a plague of claws and iron.<br /> <br /> The mountains shook with war;

<p>BlackSeaDM: /* The Dwarven Faith */</p> <hr /> <div>&lt;font size=1&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;text-align:center; width: 100%;&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |[[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/races|'''Races''']] || [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/religion|'''Religions''']] || [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/realms|'''Realms''']] || [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/geography|'''Geography''']] || [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_page/organizations|'''Organizations''']] || [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/languages|'''Languages''']] || [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_page/time_calendars|'''Time &amp; Calendars''']] <br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/font size&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page | '''&lt;&lt; Back to Main Page''' ]]<br /> <br /> == [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main Page/religion/The Holy Faith | The Holy Faith]] ==<br /> <br /> The main doctrine of the Holy Faith is that there is but one omnipotent, omniscient being in the universe, who is known by the name of Il Matio. Life is centered on the concept of sin (what they should do or not), and how absolve it so that one’s soul can join Il Matio in heaven after death. Followers of the Holy Faith are taught to help all who hurt, no matter who they are, and that the truly holy take on the suffering of others. Believers are taught that the Holy Church is infallible, and must be obeyed. The Holy Church holds that the Arch-Prelate is the highest earthly authority on all religious beliefs, doctrine and scriptural interpretation. <br /> <br /> As a consequence, all other sects of the True Faith are considered heretics, and non-Holy Faith religions are generally considered cults (at best) or demoniac worship (at worst). While this faith professes an ethic of love and justice, some of the priesthood and monastic orders are prone to intolerance - in particular, arcane magic is considered the work of demons, devils and other evil spirits. In regions where the Holy Faith is powerful, arcane magic is suppressed, and in some places, practitioners are punished by severe trials and even death. The religion is almost exclusively human; demi-humans are not welcome in general (though there have been exceptions). In some areas demi-humans are even persecuted by the Holy Faith as idolaters and practitioners of witchcraft (generally the same places where arcane magic use is punished).<br /> <br /> == [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main Page/religion/The True Faith | The True Faith]] == <br /> Worship A'Salam, an all-knowing, omnipotent celestial being who was revealed through the work of the founder of the faith, known as The Prophet; Symbol: A golden phoenix rising on a red background Ethos: Enforce the laws of the land; Help those that help themselves; Be generous to the poor, sick, and helpless. Stringently follow the precepts of A’Salam to attain the reward that is promised to the faithful after death. Protect and preserve the most holy lands from the infidels (non-believers). Generally, a Lawful Good aligned religion if observed according to the laws. The state religion of the Jhonian Empire – citizens who do not follow the True Faith, while not persecuted, do not enjoy the full benefits of citizenship. Conquered peoples are offered the chance to convert, but are not persecuted in most cases if they choose not to. The leader of the True Faith is the Grand Imam of the Golden Mosque, located in Ajuhar-al-Sahir, the Jhonian Capital.<br /> <br /> == [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/religion/old_athernian|The Old Athernian Gods]] ==<br /> <br /> A pantheon of gods worshipped by a large segment of the peoples of the Athernian peninsula. In Athervon, the Old Athernian Gods were the most popular religion during the period known as the First Line of Kings, which ended with the Jhonian invasion and conquest. Followers of the Old Athernian Gods have dwindled since the rise of the Holy Faith and the expulsion of the Jhonians, particularly in the northern areas of the peninsula. But it is still popular in the lands that border the Imurian Sea, and is competitive with the Holy Faith in terms of followers in places like Anida and Duath.<br /> <br /> == The Vulkul Pantheon == <br /> Primarily worshipped in the Barbarian Kingdoms, but popular in the areas of the Wild Coast, New Kingdoms, The Isles of the Sea Lords, and Athervon (until the rise of the Holy Faith of Il Matio).<br /> <br /> == [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/religion/elder_elemental|The Elder Elemental Gods]] ==<br /> Some say the original deities worshipped by the original Tuathan humans of the Athernian peninsula in the ancient past. Virtually unknown now, this pantheon of four gods is now an underground and largely ignored religion. What few followers there are exist on the outskirts of civilized human areas, and little is known about them or their practices.<br /> <br /> == [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/religion/bakuland_pantheon|The Bakuland Pantheon]] ==<br /> A pantheon worshipped exclusively by the clans and sub-clans of Bakuland. Centered on a warrior culture and defined by earning a warrior's death that will reincarnate them in an elevated position within the clans, or demotion to a noncombatant or oppressed people if they fail to die an honorable death in combat.<br /> <br /> == Ancestor Worship ==<br /> Popular across many regions in the East, particularly Chandrahaar and Nihar, but also the steppes of Hazur, Iruzhin, and some of the barbaric northern clans and tribes, this religion primarily focuses on worship of the ancestral blood line of the clan, with the founders of the Clan worshipped as God or Gods (and more rarely, Goddesses) by all, and the more recent dead being demi-gods or messengers for these more powerful entities.<br /> <br /> == [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/religion/is-rian pantheon|The Is’ri Pantheon]] ==<br /> At one time actively worshipped in the land of Issyria (Is’ri-a), until it was conquered by the Jhonians (last 200 years). Now it exists as an underground religion there. Ex-patriots of Issyria can still be found worshipping these Gods, in lands that allow it.<br /> <br /> == The Niharian Pantheon ==<br /> Worshipped almost exclusively in Nihar and a few of the surrounding Islands.<br /> <br /> == [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main Page/religion/dwarven_pantheon | The Dwarven Faith]] ==<br /> The Dwarves worship Ghrgükhrm as their only true diety. There is a pantheon of saints that are prayed to as intermediaries, and the Dwarves also revere their ancestors. Priests of Ghrgükhrm generally focus on spells of healing, augmentation, protection, divination, and manipulation of the earth, rocks, and stone. Dwarven priests and stone-crafters are able to create stone golems of an exceptionally powerful nature.<br /> <br /> == [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main Page/religion/elven_pantheon | The Elven Pantheon]] ==<br /> Elves are generally less religious than most other races, but do celebrate holy days for the gods of their pantheon. Each of the Elven ethnic varieties tend to prefer some members of the Pantheon over others, depending on their environment and circumstances.</div>

It is a place where everything and anything is for sale for a price – so long as the appropriate taxes are paid so that the Sovereign’s coffers remain full. The laws, such as they are, are aimed at keeping the economy running; “crimes” that don’t affect the economics of the place are of little interest to the inhabitants.<br /> <br /> The city’s population is an amalgam of races that are likely not found elsewhere: Orcs from Ûgozh; human berserker warriors from Bakuland; barbaric humans of the Vulkul clans and tribes from the frozen north who arrive on ships; Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Bugbears; Ogres and Trolls, and a small number of true giants; even a few hardy Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings – mostly outcasts, criminals, and refugees from more civilized lands, who are tough enough to survive and thrive in a place dominated by their traditional enemies. Blackport is awash with pirates comprised of all these races, and more.<br /> <br /> Blackport also imports slaves from across all the Lands, as far away as mysterious Nihar, as close as the Kingdom of Athervon, just over the Iron Mountains. Many can only look forward to a life of servitude amongst those wealthy enough to afford them; some wretches are destined for the games of the Arena, there either to earn their masters enough to win their freedom, or to be carried out to be processed for the humanoid denizens of the city; a slave’s only hope is that they are expensive, which means the laws of the City protect the economic interests of their masters.<br /> <br /> == Campaign Overview ==<br /> <br /> This will be a city-based adventure using [https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/Advanced_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_2nd_Edition_Wiki '''''AD&amp;D 2E'''''] rules; emphasis is on role playing, I try to do most of the bookkeeping for the characters so they can focus on decisions.<br /> <br /> An ongoing campaign (3+ years) in the same world setting can be found [https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/ad-d-2e-lands-of-the-black-sea-southern-campaign-continuation-i.907923/page-23#post-25418912 '''here''']; the main page of this [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page | '''Wiki''']] covers the basics of the campaign setting, including realms, geography, and the like. <br /> <br /> Information about Blackport itself is found on the Wiki [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/realms/Blackport| '''here''']]. This, along with the map, will evolve as the game progresses – the game will be defining the setting as we go.<br /> <br /> I’m looking to run one or more adventures in Blackport. Neutral or evil characters will have the easiest time integrating into the evirons; good characters are allowed, but they will be swimming upstream in this setting.<br /> <br /> The city is modeled after an amalgamation of content from: Judge’s Guild ''City-State of the Invincible Overlord''; Golotha from the ''Cities of Harn''; elements from ''Lankhmar''; ideas and themes from Steve Jackson’s ''Khare: Cityport of Traps''; and the overall tone of Robert Aspin’s ''Thieves’ Word'' series, as well as other sources. All integrated with some homebrew elements.<br /> <br /> This activity is primarily focused on role-playing to help me develop the city environs, NPC’s, and setting – there will not necessarily be a lot of dungeon crawling, at least not at the beginning.<br /> <br /> Characters can be of the following races: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Orc, Half-Orc, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Ogre, Half-Ogre, Bugbear, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling. We'll use the [https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/The_Complete_Book_of_Humanoids '''''Complete Book of Humanoids'''''] to create characters for the non-standard races.<br /> <br /> Any character alignment and class is allowed (for any race); we’ll figure out how to mod the rules for non-standard races. Note that the setting is predominantly lawful evil, but very tolerant of any religion or alignment so long as taxes are paid and rules are followed. That said, I would expect a Lawful Good character to be pretty miserable in this setting.<br /> <br /> == Campaign Adventure Summaries ==<br /> &lt;font size=2&gt;<br /> &lt;font size=1&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;

It is a place where everything and anything is for sale for a price – so long as the appropriate taxes are paid so that the Sovereign’s coffers remain full. The laws, such as they are, are aimed at keeping the economy running; “crimes” that don’t affect the economics of the place are of little interest to the inhabitants.<br /> <br /> The city’s population is an amalgam of races that are likely not found elsewhere: Orcs from Ûgozh; human berserker warriors from Bakuland; barbaric humans of the Vulkul clans and tribes from the frozen north who arrive on ships; Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Bugbears; Ogres and Trolls, and a small number of true giants; even a few hardy Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings – mostly outcasts, criminals, and refugees from more civilized lands, who are tough enough to survive and thrive in a place dominated by their traditional enemies. Blackport is awash with pirates comprised of all these races, and more.<br /> <br /> Blackport also imports slaves from across all the Lands, as far away as mysterious Nihar, as close as the Kingdom of Athervon, just over the Iron Mountains. Many can only look forward to a life of servitude amongst those wealthy enough to afford them; some wretches are destined for the games of the Arena, there either to earn their masters enough to win their freedom, or to be carried out to be processed for the humanoid denizens of the city; a slave’s only hope is that they are expensive, which means the laws of the City protect the economic interests of their masters.<br /> <br /> == Campaign Overview ==<br /> <br /> This will be a city-based adventure using [https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/Advanced_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_2nd_Edition_Wiki '''''AD&amp;D 2E'''''] rules; emphasis is on role playing, I try to do most of the bookkeeping for the characters so they can focus on decisions.<br /> <br /> An ongoing campaign (3+ years) in the same world setting can be found [https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/ad-d-2e-lands-of-the-black-sea-southern-campaign-continuation-i.907923/page-23#post-25418912 '''here''']; the main page of this [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page | '''Wiki''']] covers the basics of the campaign setting, including realms, geography, and the like. <br /> <br /> Information about Blackport itself is found on the Wiki [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/realms/Blackport| '''here''']]. This, along with the map, will evolve as the game progresses – the game will be defining the setting as we go.<br /> <br /> I’m looking to run one or more adventures in Blackport. Neutral or evil characters will have the easiest time integrating into the evirons; good characters are allowed, but they will be swimming upstream in this setting.<br /> <br /> The city is modeled after an amalgamation of content from: Judge’s Guild ''City-State of the Invincible Overlord''; Golotha from the ''Cities of Harn''; elements from ''Lankhmar''; ideas and themes from Steve Jackson’s ''Khare: Cityport of Traps''; and the overall tone of Robert Aspin’s ''Thieves’ Word'' series, as well as other sources. All integrated with some homebrew elements.<br /> <br /> This activity is primarily focused on role-playing to help me develop the city environs, NPC’s, and setting – there will not necessarily be a lot of dungeon crawling, at least not at the beginning.<br /> <br /> Characters can be of the following races: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Orc, Half-Orc, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Ogre, Half-Ogre, Bugbear, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling. We'll use the [https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/The_Complete_Book_of_Humanoids '''''Complete Book of Humanoids'''''] to create characters for the non-standard races.<br /> <br /> Any character alignment and class is allowed (for any race); we’ll figure out how to mod the rules for non-standard races. Note that the setting is predominantly lawful evil, but very tolerant of any religion or alignment so long as taxes are paid and rules are followed. That said, I would expect a Lawful Good character to be pretty miserable in this setting.<br /> <br /> == Campaign Adventure Summaries ==<br /> &lt;font size=2&gt;<br /> &lt;font size=1&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;

The daughter of one of the King's wisest and learned seers, she was raised according to the values of her people, the Wood-Elves (I'riathi), who valued ambition, martial prowess, and arcane power, driven by the many enemies that surrounded the sylvan kingdom.<br /> <br /> Her father, Ósé I'al-Auläre, was a noble emissary from the court of the ancient island Elven Kingdom of I'ali'on, far across the oceans. If the myths were to be believed, it was the original island homeland of all Elves of the Lands, the place where all of them had originated from some eight thousand years ago. His people, the Grey Elves (I'ali) claimed to be the rootstock from which all other elves descended. He was an impeccable example of the culture of the Grey Elves – austere; observant and judgmental; and to whom preservation of the ancient ways was an unquestioned duty, the only bulwark against complete chaos.<br /> <br /> He had arrived on a great ship from I'ali'on to the human port of Alaraqes in Anida, taking the great river, that the humans called the Porón, up into the forest. After making contact with the I'riathi, he was brought to the King's palace, the great Halls of Ainul, a massive complex of natural caverns located in the hilly woods below a grand city on the surface and in the trees above. There, he presented his gifts from the High King of the Grey Elves – strange texts and tales that were as their own, but different – not myths, but histories; artifacts millenia old that showed the expansion and eventual collapse of the Empire of the Grey Elves, until all that remained was the original island Kingdom; and beautiful art and objects fashioned of materials unknown to them, by craftsmen of skill far greater than their own.<br /> <br /> King Áthu was well pleased by the gifts, and desired to know more – to possess the wisdom and power of these faraway kin.<br /> <br /> Their match was not arranged, but one of choice.<br /> <br /> Ósé, found Galéïs' passion and thirst for knowledge enchanting; Galéïs found Ósé's wisdom and knowledge of secrets and mysteries irresistible. Her family was, expectedly, completely against the union, at least amongst their own people. His people were unknown to them, despite the evidence of kinship and culture; they were only slightly less foreign than the Dwarves of Belorudhrm, or the Human King of Anida, despite the supposed racial heritage. The bonding of one of their noble daughters to this unknown bloodline was viewed slightly better than with either of these decidedly un-Elven races.<br /> <br /> Her father's people were not present to render judgement. Pressured by King Áthu, Galéïs' parents finally relented, and the union was formed. For a decade, their life was content. Lirael learned some things from her father, but she was still only an infant by Elven standards.<br /> <br /> As it turned out, it was not to last, however. Ósé could not – or perhaps his masters across the sea would not – agree to trade in the things that King Áthu most desired – weapons and spells of power that would help him defend his Kingdom against its many enemies. And conversely, King Áthu would not give Ósé's Lord across the sea what was demanded for such gifts: an oath of fealty, a swearing of vassalhood to the High King of the Grey Elves, to reunite them under the old empire that existed millenia ago.<br /> <br /> In the end, the relationship soured.<br /> <br /> And then, the letter came. Ósé was withdrawn as the Grey Elf King's ambassador.<br /> <br /> [[File:Divider 001.jpg | center | 400 px]]<br /> <br /> She never got to hear his side of the story, really. Within the wood-elf community, it became a reason not to trust these supposed cousins, these pretend progenitures. Ósé's departure marked the end of the exchanges between the Grey Elves and the I'riathi.<br /> <br /> As she grew older, she was treated differently. Lirael could not escape the sideways glances, not hear the hushed whispers about her difference. Her mother's approach to combatting this was to raise the bar for her daughter such that none could question her achievement. Expectations were high, constant, and rarely softened by affection. She learned early that precision, discipline, and preparation were safer companions than praise, that ability and prowess were surer friends than any of her classmates.<br /> <br /> Her talents drew the attention of the Thalanthir War College, where she embraced the War Mage doctrine: magic as disciplined action, not spectacle. She excelled in battlefield spellcraft, reconnaissance, and the integration of sword and spell, eventually earning advanced instruction in the Bladesong Weapon Style.<br /> <br /> Her service before departure included border patrol work, ward maintenance, courier missions, and tactical support against raiders and magical beasts. These experiences taught her that real conflict was unpredictable — and that she thrived in its clarity.<br /> <br /> Her skills and abilities saw her achieve victories and complete missions far beyond the ken of her classmates in the academy. And yet, with each promotion in the ranks, she reignited the old wounds of her father's legacy within the kingdom.<br /> <br /> When a senior mentor suggested she &quot;broaden her experience&quot; beyond the academy, Lirael recognized the polite dismissal beneath the phrasing. She had long felt the quiet suffocation of politics that cared more for lineage than merit. She realized that no matter what her abilities, her bloodline would never allow her to be accepted. There was no future for her among the people of her mother; and the people of her father were far off and even more likey to reject her.<br /> <br /> She was without a people.<br /> <br /> She accepted without protest. But before leaving, she swore a personal vow to Amumé to act with balance and disciplined purpose, no matter how chaotic the wider world proved.<br /> <br /> She wandered about for some time, but everywhere she went, it was more of the same – amongst the humans of Anida and Elbe, she was still other, at best viewed as strange, at worst viewed as a possible spy or saboteur or devil-worshipper; among the barbarians of Axoria, she was either a witch or a demoness; and in the lands of the Baku, she either was able to kill, or she would be killed – but either way, she was not of Baku blood, and would never be a member of a Baku clan.<br /> <br /> Finally, exhausted and worn from her constant travels, she sat in a tavern in the rough-and-tumble town of Jarlhold in the barbaric land of the Axorians, listening to stories told by a sailor there named Yogesh, who claimed to be a merchant. By appearance and manner, he was more likely a pirate. Or perhaps he was both. It was clear from his stories that Blackport was not kind to the weak or those who could not pull their own weight. But it was also clear that Blackport might offer her the one thing other places had not: respect based on her abilities and her abilities alone, with no invisible cages built on ancestry or bloodline or other factors not hers to control.<br /> <br /> She booked passage on his ship the next day, smart enough to offer half up front and half upon arrival, and provided a demonstration of her martial and arcane prowess and services while aboard ship as part of the deal.<br /> <br /> The captain of the vessel, a tough-looking man from the far north and east named Malik, agreed.<br /> <br /> They arrived in Blackport within a fortnight. She could still remember the sight of the huge, brooding black towers silhouetted against the clouds and moon in the sky; the dancing lights from the fires in towers and along battlemented walls. The feeling of dread she experienced – for no known reason at the time – as the ship glided past the hulk of Everdark Keep and the Tower of Shadow.<br /> <br /> [[File:Divider 001.jpg | center | 400 px]]<br /> <br /> She knew the reasons now, of course.<br /> <br /> Adjusting to Blackport's form of law and order had been difficult; she had lost a significant amount of her savings from theft and con artists before getting the feel of the place. The experience had added additional layers of armor onto her personality; her empathy became more distant than it had been; her ability to trust and form friendships, never one of her best qualities, retreated even further into her psyche.<br /> <br /> But adjust she did. Soon enough, even Blackport had to yield to her skills and abilities, and make a place for her.<br /> <br /> After a particularly impressive display of magic that left three members of the Crimson King's dead in the Horn Gate Plaza – all completely justified, but involving no one of significance, and therefore never investigated – she had been returning to her small flat in the Warehouse District when she heard someone speak close by.<br /> <br /> &quot;Impressive. For one still learning the arts. You have talent.&quot;<br /> <br /> She turned quickly to see a bent-over old human woman standing before her. Her skin was very dark – so dark that the shadows from her robe seemed to simply extend to the skin on her hands and face. Her hair was a black that was slowly greying, mostly obscured under the heavy black hooded cloak she wore over the matching black robes, the edges embroidered with strange designs in silver thread. The eyes that regarded her under creased and furrowed brows were a very pale blue, with pupils so small they could be missed altogether at a brief glance. They wee framed by dark shadows of some kind of black powder. Her lips were painted pure black with some kind of coloring. She wore a silver net tassel cap on her head, the polished beads of which hung down the centerline of her forehead to the bridge of her nose and dangled in front of both ears. Matching silver rings pierced her nose – one through the columella, one through the left nostril. Her creased, wrinkled fingers were adorned with no less than twelve rings, two on a finger in several cases.<br /> <br /> The woman stared deeply into Lirael's eyes.<br /> <br /> &quot;I could use the services of one such as yourself. You look to need someone to guide you in this city – your kind are not so welcome here, and many more will seek to destroy you, as these did.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;If you will serve me, I will offer you protection – and more. I can further your training. My powers are great, and my resources are as well. Should you prove competent and loyal, you will find me a generous patron.&quot;<br /> <br /> Her eyes seemed to flare a moment.<br /> <br /> &quot;If not…well, then such as these will be the least of your worries. You can find me in the Midnight Gardens, should you wish to strike a bargain. Domus Nox is my residence. Ask for Domina Vexx, and tell the guard that you seek my instruction in the dark arts.&quot;<br /> <br /> With that, the woman turned and disappeared into the gathering crowd. She could hear the Wardens being summoned, and decided she needed to leave, lest this turn into a problem she didn't need right now.<br /> <br /> But the offer stuck with her. At night, she thought about it.<br /> <br /> Someone who could further her training.<br /> <br /> For what? A service she had already provided to others – others who had not given as much in return.<br /> <br /> Within a week, she found herself at the dark iron gates of Domus Nox, in the peaceful if somewhat sinister tranquility of the Midnight Gardens.<br /> <br /> She rapped on the huge black iron knocker, fashioned into the face of a monstrous beast with horns and splayed ears and massive tusks, sending ominous echoing booms into the courtyard beyond.<br /> <br /> Moments later, she was being escorted into the dark courtyard by a pair of huge Bugbears clad in heavy armor bearing massive, flanged maces. She tried to act nonchalant as they strode toward the squat, basalt block building in the middle of the grounds, which were planted with strange, unusual shrubs and trees she was not familiar with. Iron lanterns fit with purple and green glass-faces hung about, casting strange, drifting shadows that didn't quite seem to line up with the rotation of the lights they came from.<br /> <br /> Before they reached the building, the large iron double-doors opened.<br /> <br /> Inside stood the woman she had met before.<br /> <br /> The woman smiled, her white teeth a striking contrast to her still black-inked lips.<br /> <br /> &quot;Why hello, child. I'm glad you saw the wisdom of my offer. Your service starts tongight…&quot;<br /> <br /> [[File:Divider 001.jpg | center | 400 px]]<br /> <br /> That was over a year ago.<br /> <br /> The woman was none other than Aqille Vexx – one of the most powerful sorcerors in Blackport and a member of the dreaded Council of the Black Codex, the assemblage of arcane masters who advised and supported The Sovereign in all matters eldritch and esoteric.<br /> <br /> She was also one of the most evil, manipulative, and terrifying residents in the city.<br /> <br /> Her name was spoken in hushed whispers, if at all. Many would not name her, calling her simply &quot;The Dark Woman,&quot; and similar designations.<br /> <br /> What happened to those who crossed or displeased her was a matter of record – or in at least one case, still visible to any who's stomach's could handle the sight. The setting of one of her revenges was said to have had to been burned to the ground, as there was no natural way to remove the remains of those she had punished from the walls and crevices.<br /> <br /> Lirael feared her – anyone of wisdom did.<br /> <br /> But she also respected her.<br /> <br /> Brought to Blackport as a slave girl, the stories were that she had used her considerable charms to inveigle her way into the heart – and residence – of a powerful mage. She had served the man as a concubine and consort – all the while learning from his library while he was away. As her power grew, she formed alliances with others, resulting in her original lovers downfall as more powerful options presented themselves. A few were intimate – others thought they could control her. All were but rungs on the ladder that she climbed to the heights of arcane power.<br /> <br /> Now, decades later, she had reached the pinnacle of her profession. None dared cross her. It was rumored that even the Sovereign himself feared her wrath.<br /> <br /> Lirael's tasks were legion, including: shopping for supplies; cleaning of the libraries and labs; performing experiments (which sometimes resulted in cleaning the labs…); researching long-lost obscurities; and on and on.<br /> <br /> Sometimes she was sent to spy on someone, using the skills she had honed as a scout during her war-mage training.<br /> <br /> Other times, she wore steel and accompanied the archmage out during her meetings with others, when the Bugbears were the wrong tool for the job.<br /> <br /> But, she also learned.<br /> <br /> And her own power grew.<br /> <br /> == Important NPC's ==<br /> <br /> '''Ósé I'al-Auläre''' – her father, a Grey Elf who was once an ambassador; he was recalled to the Kingdom of the Grey Elves when she was only ten years old. She has never seen him again.<br /> <br /> '''Galéïs Séngän més Sïun''' – her mother, a relatively high-ranking government official in the Kingdom of the Wood Elves. Her mother had always loved and nurtured and mentored her; Lirael had not told her that she was leaving when she finally left the kingdom three years ago.<br /> <br /> '''Yogesh''' – a pirate aboard the raider Avarice, captained by one Malik Soliyev. Yogesh looks up Lirael when he is ashore, and she considers him a friend – not a close one, but a friend nonetheless.<br /> <br /> '''Aqille Vexx''' – a powerful archmage that Lirael works for as a live-in servant/ student/ spy/ guard. Lirael does not actually interact with Aqille in person a great deal – she receives her orders in writing sometimes, or via instructions from the House Master, Thevant de Qoll. Her quarters and board are part of her payment, as is her instruction – with the result that she does not have much liquid currency on her.<br /> <br /> '''Thevant de Qoll''' – the tall, gaunt human that serves as the Master of the House at Domus Nox. He is a head butler and chamberlain to the Lady Aqille, running the property and dealing with bills and other mundane problems. He is middle-aged and devoid of any sense of humor, as far as Lirael can tell. Despite her year serving Aqille, he seems to still regard her as a temporary border, and treats her as such. She has no idea if he has any skills beyond an acid tongue and a black sense of humor.<br /> <br /> '''Sugu''' and '''Dugu''' – the two huge Bugbear brothers who serve Aqille as the house guards. They are generally ornamental in nature – the house is warded and trapped in such as way that physical guards are superfluous. But there are certain elements in the city that would not be bright enough to figure that out, so the presence of a few hulking, armored guards helps keep down the number of times that Aqille is forced to renew her magical protections. When they are off-duty (usually the daylight hours), they are fond of drinking and partying in The Maw, Spearaxe, and Grunt. While she doesn't consider either of them friends, they have gained a healthy respect for each other's abilities.<br /> <br /> '''Áfatha''' – an Elf sorcerer who Lirael met during one of her errands for Aqille. He is handsome, witty, charming, playful – and interested only in men. He spends a great deal of time at a tavern in Darklane called Amphisbanae, which Lirael has yet to visit. She runs into him mostly at the Librum Arcanae in the same district, a private library that all the major spellcasting guilds have bought into for research purposes. He is one of the few people in Blackport that she considers trustworthy enough to let down her guard around. He was originally someone that Aqille wanted spied on, but then later she seemed to have shifted her target.</div>

The daughter of one of the King's wisest and learned seers, she was raised according to the values of her people, the Wood-Elves (I'riathi), who valued ambition, martial prowess, and arcane power, driven by the many enemies that surrounded the sylvan kingdom.<br /> <br /> Her father, Ósé I'al-Auläre, was a noble emissary from the court of the ancient island Elven Kingdom of I'ali'on, far across the oceans. If the myths were to be believed, it was the original island homeland of all Elves of the Lands, the place where all of them had originated from some eight thousand years ago. His people, the Grey Elves (I'ali) claimed to be the rootstock from which all other elves descended. He was an impeccable example of the culture of the Grey Elves – austere; observant and judgmental; and to whom preservation of the ancient ways was an unquestioned duty, the only bulwark against complete chaos.<br /> <br /> He had arrived on a great ship from I'ali'on to the human port of Alaraqes in Anida, taking the great river, that the humans called the Porón, up into the forest. After making contact with the I'riathi, he was brought to the King's palace, the great Halls of Ainul, a massive complex of natural caverns located in the hilly woods below a grand city on the surface and in the trees above. There, he presented his gifts from the High King of the Grey Elves – strange texts and tales that were as their own, but different – not myths, but histories; artifacts millenia old that showed the expansion and eventual collapse of the Empire of the Grey Elves, until all that remained was the original island Kingdom; and beautiful art and objects fashioned of materials unknown to them, by craftsmen of skill far greater than their own.<br /> <br /> King Áthu was well pleased by the gifts, and desired to know more – to possess the wisdom and power of these faraway kin.<br /> <br /> Their match was not arranged, but one of choice.<br /> <br /> Ósé, found Galéïs' passion and thirst for knowledge enchanting; Galéïs found Ósé's wisdom and knowledge of secrets and mysteries irresistible. Her family was, expectedly, completely against the union, at least amongst their own people. His people were unknown to them, despite the evidence of kinship and culture; they were only slightly less foreign than the Dwarves of Belorudhrm, or the Human King of Anida, despite the supposed racial heritage. The bonding of one of their noble daughters to this unknown bloodline was viewed slightly better than with either of these decidedly un-Elven races.<br /> <br /> Her father's people were not present to render judgement. Pressured by King Áthu, Galéïs' parents finally relented, and the union was formed. For a decade, their life was content. Lirael learned some things from her father, but she was still only an infant by Elven standards.<br /> <br /> As it turned out, it was not to last, however. Ósé could not – or perhaps his masters across the sea would not – agree to trade in the things that King Áthu most desired – weapons and spells of power that would help him defend his Kingdom against its many enemies. And conversely, King Áthu would not give Ósé's Lord across the sea what was demanded for such gifts: an oath of fealty, a swearing of vassalhood to the High King of the Grey Elves, to reunite them under the old empire that existed millenia ago.<br /> <br /> In the end, the relationship soured.<br /> <br /> And then, the letter came. Ósé was withdrawn as the Grey Elf King's ambassador.<br /> <br /> [[File:Divider 001.jpg | center | 400 px]]<br /> <br /> She never got to hear his side of the story, really. Within the wood-elf community, it became a reason not to trust these supposed cousins, these pretend progenitures. Ósé's departure marked the end of the exchanges between the Grey Elves and the I'riathi.<br /> <br /> As she grew older, she was treated differently. Lirael could not escape the sideways glances, not hear the hushed whispers about her difference. Her mother's approach to combatting this was to raise the bar for her daughter such that none could question her achievement. Expectations were high, constant, and rarely softened by affection. She learned early that precision, discipline, and preparation were safer companions than praise, that ability and prowess were surer friends than any of her classmates.<br /> <br /> Her talents drew the attention of the Thalanthir War College, where she embraced the War Mage doctrine: magic as disciplined action, not spectacle. She excelled in battlefield spellcraft, reconnaissance, and the integration of sword and spell, eventually earning advanced instruction in the Bladesong Weapon Style.<br /> <br /> Her service before departure included border patrol work, ward maintenance, courier missions, and tactical support against raiders and magical beasts. These experiences taught her that real conflict was unpredictable — and that she thrived in its clarity.<br /> <br /> Her skills and abilities saw her achieve victories and complete missions far beyond the ken of her classmates in the academy. And yet, with each promotion in the ranks, she reignited the old wounds of her father's legacy within the kingdom.<br /> <br /> When a senior mentor suggested she &quot;broaden her experience&quot; beyond the academy, Lirael recognized the polite dismissal beneath the phrasing. She had long felt the quiet suffocation of politics that cared more for lineage than merit. She realized that no matter what her abilities, her bloodline would never allow her to be accepted. There was no future for her among the people of her mother; and the people of her father were far off and even more likey to reject her.<br /> <br /> She was without a people.<br /> <br /> She accepted without protest. But before leaving, she swore a personal vow to Amumé to act with balance and disciplined purpose, no matter how chaotic the wider world proved.<br /> <br /> She wandered about for some time, but everywhere she went, it was more of the same – amongst the humans of Anida and Elbe, she was still other, at best viewed as strange, at worst viewed as a possible spy or saboteur or devil-worshipper; among the barbarians of Axoria, she was either a witch or a demoness; and in the lands of the Baku, she either was able to kill, or she would be killed – but either way, she was not of Baku blood, and would never be a member of a Baku clan.<br /> <br /> Finally, exhausted and worn from her constant travels, she sat in a tavern in the rough-and-tumble town of Jarlhold in the barbaric land of the Axorians, listening to stories told by a sailor there named Yogesh, who claimed to be a merchant. By appearance and manner, he was more likely a pirate. Or perhaps he was both. It was clear from his stories that Blackport was not kind to the weak or those who could not pull their own weight. But it was also clear that Blackport might offer her the one thing other places had not: respect based on her abilities and her abilities alone, with no invisible cages built on ancestry or bloodline or other factors not hers to control.<br /> <br /> She booked passage on his ship the next day, smart enough to offer half up front and half upon arrival, and provided a demonstration of her martial and arcane prowess and services while aboard ship as part of the deal.<br /> <br /> The captain of the vessel, a tough-looking man from the far north and east named Malik, agreed.<br /> <br /> They arrived in Blackport within a fortnight. She could still remember the sight of the huge, brooding black towers silhouetted against the clouds and moon in the sky; the dancing lights from the fires in towers and along battlemented walls. The feeling of dread she experienced – for no known reason at the time – as the ship glided past the hulk of Everdark Keep and the Tower of Shadow.<br /> <br /> [[File:Divider 001.jpg | center | 400 px]]<br /> <br /> She knew the reasons now, of course.<br /> <br /> Adjusting to Blackport's form of law and order had been difficult; she had lost a significant amount of her savings from theft and con artists before getting the feel of the place. The experience had added additional layers of armor onto her personality; her empathy became more distant than it had been; her ability to trust and form friendships, never one of her best qualities, retreated even further into her psyche.<br /> <br /> But adjust she did. Soon enough, even Blackport had to yield to her skills and abilities, and make a place for her.<br /> <br /> After a particularly impressive display of magic that left three members of the Crimson King's dead in the Horn Gate Plaza – all completely justified, but involving no one of significance, and therefore never investigated – she had been returning to her small flat in the Warehouse District when she heard someone speak close by.<br /> <br /> &quot;Impressive. For one still learning the arts. You have talent.&quot;<br /> <br /> She turned quickly to see a bent-over old human woman standing before her. Her skin was very dark – so dark that the shadows from her robe seemed to simply extend to the skin on her hands and face. Her hair was a black that was slowly greying, mostly obscured under the heavy black hooded cloak she wore over the matching black robes, the edges embroidered with strange designs in silver thread. The eyes that regarded her under creased and furrowed brows were a very pale blue, with pupils so small they could be missed altogether at a brief glance. They wee framed by dark shadows of some kind of black powder. Her lips were painted pure black with some kind of coloring. She wore a silver net tassel cap on her head, the polished beads of which hung down the centerline of her forehead to the bridge of her nose and dangled in front of both ears. Matching silver rings pierced her nose – one through the columella, one through the left nostril. Her creased, wrinkled fingers were adorned with no less than twelve rings, two on a finger in several cases.<br /> <br /> The woman stared deeply into Lirael's eyes.<br /> <br /> &quot;I could use the services of one such as yourself. You look to need someone to guide you in this city – your kind are not so welcome here, and many more will seek to destroy you, as these did.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;If you will serve me, I will offer you protection – and more. I can further your training. My powers are great, and my resources are as well. Should you prove competent and loyal, you will find me a generous patron.&quot;<br /> <br /> Her eyes seemed to flare a moment.<br /> <br /> &quot;If not…well, then such as these will be the least of your worries. You can find me in the Midnight Gardens, should you wish to strike a bargain. Domus Nox is my residence. Ask for Domina Vexx, and tell the guard that you seek my instruction in the dark arts.&quot;<br /> <br /> With that, the woman turned and disappeared into the gathering crowd. She could hear the Wardens being summoned, and decided she needed to leave, lest this turn into a problem she didn't need right now.<br /> <br /> But the offer stuck with her. At night, she thought about it.<br /> <br /> Someone who could further her training.<br /> <br /> For what? A service she had already provided to others – others who had not given as much in return.<br /> <br /> Within a week, she found herself at the dark iron gates of Domus Nox, in the peaceful if somewhat sinister tranquility of the Midnight Gardens.<br /> <br /> She rapped on the huge black iron knocker, fashioned into the face of a monstrous beast with horns and splayed ears and massive tusks, sending ominous echoing booms into the courtyard beyond.<br /> <br /> Moments later, she was being escorted into the dark courtyard by a pair of huge Bugbears clad in heavy armor bearing massive, flanged maces. She tried to act nonchalant as they strode toward the squat, basalt block building in the middle of the grounds, which were planted with strange, unusual shrubs and trees she was not familiar with. Iron lanterns fit with purple and green glass-faces hung about, casting strange, drifting shadows that didn't quite seem to line up with the rotation of the lights they came from.<br /> <br /> Before they reached the building, the large iron double-doors opened.<br /> <br /> Inside stood the woman she had met before.<br /> <br /> The woman smiled, her white teeth a striking contrast to her still black-inked lips.<br /> <br /> &quot;Why hello, child. I'm glad you saw the wisdom of my offer. Your service starts tongight…&quot;<br /> <br /> [[File:Divider 001.jpg | center | 400 px]]<br /> <br /> That was over a year ago.<br /> <br /> The woman was none other than Aqille Vexx – one of the most powerful sorcerors in Blackport and a member of the dreaded Council of the Black Codex, the assemblage of arcane masters who advised and supported The Sovereign in all matters eldritch and esoteric.<br /> <br /> She was also one of the most evil, manipulative, and terrifying residents in the city.<br /> <br /> Her name was spoken in hushed whispers, if at all. Many would not name her, calling her simply &quot;The Dark Woman,&quot; and similar designations.<br /> <br /> What happened to those who crossed or displeased her was a matter of record – or in at least one case, still visible to any who's stomach's could handle the sight. The setting of one of her revenges was said to have had to been burned to the ground, as there was no natural way to remove the remains of those she had punished from the walls and crevices.<br /> <br /> Lirael feared her – anyone of wisdom did.<br /> <br /> But she also respected her.<br /> <br /> Brought to Blackport as a slave girl, the stories were that she had used her considerable charms to inveigle her way into the heart – and residence – of a powerful mage. She had served the man as a concubine and consort – all the while learning from his library while he was away. As her power grew, she formed alliances with others, resulting in her original lovers downfall as more powerful options presented themselves. A few were intimate – others thought they could control her. All were but rungs on the ladder that she climbed to the heights of arcane power.<br /> <br /> Now, decades later, she had reached the pinnacle of her profession. None dared cross her. It was rumored that even the Sovereign himself feared her wrath.<br /> <br /> Lirael's tasks were legion, including: shopping for supplies; cleaning of the libraries and labs; performing experiments (which sometimes resulted in cleaning the labs…); researching long-lost obscurities; and on and on.<br /> <br /> Sometimes she was sent to spy on someone, using the skills she had honed as a scout during her war-mage training.<br /> <br /> Other times, she wore steel and accompanied the archmage out during her meetings with others, when the Bugbears were the wrong tool for the job.<br /> <br /> But, she also learned.<br /> <br /> And her own power grew.<br /> <br /> == Important NPC's ==<br /> <br /> '''Ósé I'al-Auläre''' – her father, a Grey Elf who was once an ambassador; he was recalled to the Kingdom of the Grey Elves when she was only ten years old. She has never seen him again.<br /> <br /> '''Galéïs Séngän més Sïun''' – her mother, a relatively high-ranking government official in the Kingdom of the Wood Elves. Her mother had always loved and nurtured and mentored her; Lirael had not told her that she was leaving when she finally left the kingdom three years ago.<br /> <br /> '''Yogesh''' – a pirate aboard the raider Avarice, captained by one Malik Soliyev. Yogesh looks up Lirael when he is ashore, and she considers him a friend – not a close one, but a friend nonetheless.<br /> <br /> '''Aqille Vexx''' – a powerful archmage that Lirael works for as a live-in servant/ student/ spy/ guard. Lirael does not actually interact with Aqille in person a great deal – she receives her orders in writing sometimes, or via instructions from the House Master, Thevant de Qoll. Her quarters and board are part of her payment, as is her instruction – with the result that she does not have much liquid currency on her.<br /> <br /> '''Thevant de Qoll''' – the tall, gaunt human that serves as the Master of the House at Domus Nox. He is a head butler and chamberlain to the Lady Aqille, running the property and dealing with bills and other mundane problems. He is middle-aged and devoid of any sense of humor, as far as Lirael can tell. Despite her year serving Aqille, he seems to still regard her as a temporary border, and treats her as such. She has no idea if he has any skills beyond an acid tongue and a black sense of humor.<br /> <br /> '''Sugu''' and '''Dugu''' – the two huge Bugbear brothers who serve Aqille as the house guards. They are generally ornamental in nature – the house is warded and trapped in such as way that physical guards are superfluous. But there are certain elements in the city that would not be bright enough to figure that out, so the presence of a few hulking, armored guards helps keep down the number of times that Aqille is forced to renew her magical protections. When they are off-duty (usually the daylight hours), they are fond of drinking and partying in The Maw, Spearaxe, and Grunt. While she doesn't consider either of them friends, they have gained a healthy respect for each other's abilities.<br /> <br /> '''Áfatha''' – an Elf sorcerer who Lirael met during one of her errands for Aqille. He is handsome, witty, charming, playful – and interested only in men. He spends a great deal of time at a tavern in Darklane called Amphisbanae, which Lirael has yet to visit. She runs into him mostly at the Librum Arcanae in the same district, a private library that all the major spellcasting guilds have bought into for research purposes. He is one of the few people in Blackport that she considers trustworthy enough to let down her guard around. He was originally someone that Aqille wanted spied on, but then later she seemed to have shifted her target.</div>

There, he presented his gifts from the High King of the Grey Elves – strange texts and tales that were as their own, but different – not myths, but histories; artifacts millenia old that showed the expansion and eventual collapse of the Empire of the Grey Elves, until all that remained was the original island Kingdom; and beautiful art and objects fashioned of materials unknown to them, by craftsmen of skill far greater than their own.<br /> <br /> King Áthu was well pleased by the gifts, and desired to know more – to possess the wisdom and power of these faraway kin.<br /> <br /> Their match was not arranged, but one of choice.<br /> <br /> Ósé, found Galéïs' passion and thirst for knowledge enchanting; Galéïs found Ósé's wisdom and knowledge of secrets and mysteries irresistible. Her family was, expectedly, completely against the union, at least amongst their own people. His people were unknown to them, despite the evidence of kinship and culture; they were only slightly less foreign than the Dwarves of Belorudhrm, or the Human King of Anida, despite the supposed racial heritage. The bonding of one of their noble daughters to this unknown bloodline was viewed slightly better than with either of these decidedly un-Elven races.<br /> <br /> Her father's people were not present to render judgement. Pressured by King Áthu, Galéïs' parents finally relented, and the union was formed. For a decade, their life was content. Lirael learned some things from her father, but she was still only an infant by Elven standards.<br /> <br /> As it turned out, it was not to last, however. Ósé could not – or perhaps his masters across the sea would not – agree to trade in the things that King Áthu most desired – weapons and spells of power that would help him defend his Kingdom against its many enemies. And conversely, King Áthu would not give Ósé's Lord across the sea what was demanded for such gifts: an oath of fealty, a swearing of vassalhood to the High King of the Grey Elves, to reunite them under the old empire that existed millenia ago.<br /> <br /> In the end, the relationship soured.<br /> <br /> And then, the letter came. Ósé was withdrawn as the Grey Elf King's ambassador.<br /> <br /> [[File:Divider 001.jpg | center | 400 px]]<br /> <br /> She never got to hear his side of the story, really. Within the wood-elf community, it became a reason not to trust these supposed cousins, these pretend progenitures. Ósé's departure marked the end of the exchanges between the Grey Elves and the I'riathi.<br /> <br /> As she grew older, she was treated differently. Lirael could not escape the sideways glances, not hear the hushed whispers about her difference. Her mother's approach to combatting this was to raise the bar for her daughter such that none could question her achievement. Expectations were high, constant, and rarely softened by affection. She learned early that precision, discipline, and preparation were safer companions than praise, that ability and prowess were surer friends than any of her classmates.<br /> <br /> Her talents drew the attention of the Thalanthir War College, where she embraced the War Mage doctrine: magic as disciplined action, not spectacle. She excelled in battlefield spellcraft, reconnaissance, and the integration of sword and spell, eventually earning advanced instruction in the Bladesong Weapon Style.<br /> <br /> Her service before departure included border patrol work, ward maintenance, courier missions, and tactical support against raiders and magical beasts. These experiences taught her that real conflict was unpredictable — and that she thrived in its clarity.<br /> <br /> Her skills and abilities saw her achieve victories and complete missions far beyond the ken of her classmates in the academy. And yet, with each promotion in the ranks, she reignited the old wounds of her father's legacy within the kingdom.<br /> <br /> When a senior mentor suggested she &quot;broaden her experience&quot; beyond the academy, Lirael recognized the polite dismissal beneath the phrasing. She had long felt the quiet suffocation of politics that cared more for lineage than merit. She realized that no matter what her abilities, her bloodline would never allow her to be accepted. There was no future for her among the people of her mother; and the people of her father were far off and even more likey to reject her.<br /> <br /> She was without a people.<br /> <br /> She accepted without protest. But before leaving, she swore a personal vow to Amumé to act with balance and disciplined purpose, no matter how chaotic the wider world proved.<br /> <br /> She wandered about for some time, but everywhere she went, it was more of the same – amongst the humans of Anida and Elbe, she was still other, at best viewed as strange, at worst viewed as a possible spy or saboteur or devil-worshipper; among the barbarians of Axoria, she was either a witch or a demoness; and in the lands of the Baku, she either was able to kill, or she would be killed – but either way, she was not of Baku blood, and would never be a member of a Baku clan.<br /> <br /> Finally, exhausted and worn from her constant travels, she sat in a tavern in the rough-and-tumble town of Jarlhold in the barbaric land of the Axorians, listening to stories told by a sailor there named Yogesh, who claimed to be a merchant. By appearance and manner, he was more likely a pirate. Or perhaps he was both. It was clear from his stories that Blackport was not kind to the weak or those who could not pull their own weight. But it was also clear that Blackport might offer her the one thing other places had not: respect based on her abilities and her abilities alone, with no invisible cages built on ancestry or bloodline or other factors not hers to control.<br /> <br /> She booked passage on his ship the next day, smart enough to offer half up front and half upon arrival, and provided a demonstration of her martial and arcane prowess and services while aboard ship as part of the deal.<br /> <br /> The captain of the vessel, a tough-looking man from the far north and east named Malik, agreed.<br /> <br /> They arrived in Blackport within a fortnight. She could still remember the sight of the huge, brooding black towers silhouetted against the clouds and moon in the sky; the dancing lights from the fires in towers and along battlemented walls. The feeling of dread she experienced – for no known reason at the time – as the ship glided past the hulk of Everdark Keep and the Tower of Shadow.<br /> <br /> [[File:Divider 001.jpg | center | 400 px]]<br /> <br /> She knew the reasons now, of course.<br /> <br /> Adjusting to Blackport's form of law and order had been difficult; she had lost a significant amount of her savings from theft and con artists before getting the feel of the place. The experience had added additional layers of armor onto her personality; her empathy became more distant than it had been; her ability to trust and form friendships, never one of her best qualities, retreated even further into her psyche.<br /> <br /> But adjust she did. Soon enough, even Blackport had to yield to her skills and abilities, and make a place for her.<br /> <br /> After a particularly impressive display of magic that left three members of the Crimson King's dead in the Horn Gate Plaza – all completely justified, but involving no one of significance, and therefore never investigated – she had been returning to her small flat in the Warehouse District when she heard someone speak close by.<br /> <br /> &quot;Impressive. For one still learning the arts. You have talent.&quot;<br /> <br /> She turned quickly to see a bent-over old human woman standing before her. Her skin was very dark – so dark that the shadows from her robe seemed to simply extend to the skin on her hands and face. Her hair was a black that was slowly greying, mostly obscured under the heavy black hooded cloak she wore over the matching black robes, the edges embroidered with strange designs in silver thread. The eyes that regarded her under creased and furrowed brows were a very pale blue, with pupils so small they could be missed altogether at a brief glance. They wee framed by dark shadows of some kind of black powder. Her lips were painted pure black with some kind of coloring. She wore a silver net tassel cap on her head, the polished beads of which hung down the centerline of her forehead to the bridge of her nose and dangled in front of both ears. Matching silver rings pierced her nose – one through the columella, one through the left nostril. Her creased, wrinkled fingers were adorned with no less than twelve rings, two on a finger in several cases.<br /> <br /> The woman stared deeply into Lirael's eyes.<br /> <br /> &quot;I could use the services of one such as yourself. You look to need someone to guide you in this city – your kind are not so welcome here, and many more will seek to destroy you, as these did.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;If you will serve me, I will offer you protection – and more. I can further your training. My powers are great, and my resources are as well. Should you prove competent and loyal, you will find me a generous patron.&quot;<br /> <br /> Her eyes seemed to flare a moment.<br /> <br /> &quot;If not…well, then such as these will be the least of your worries. You can find me in the Midnight Gardens, should you wish to strike a bargain. Domus Nox is my residence. Ask for Domina Vexx, and tell the guard that you seek my instruction in the dark arts.&quot;<br /> <br /> With that, the woman turned and disappeared into the gathering crowd. She could hear the Wardens being summoned, and decided she needed to leave, lest this turn into a problem she didn't need right now.<br /> <br /> But the offer stuck with her. At night, she thought about it.<br /> <br /> Someone who could further her training.<br /> <br /> For what? A service she had already provided to others – others who had not given as much in return.<br /> <br /> Within a week, she found herself at the dark iron gates of Domus Nox, in the peaceful if somewhat sinister tranquility of the Midnight Gardens.<br /> <br /> She rapped on the huge black iron knocker, fashioned into the face of a monstrous beast with horns and splayed ears and massive tusks, sending ominous echoing booms into the courtyard beyond.<br /> <br /> Moments later, she was being escorted into the dark courtyard by a pair of huge Bugbears clad in heavy armor bearing massive, flanged maces. She tried to act nonchalant as they strode toward the squat, basalt block building in the middle of the grounds, which were planted with strange, unusual shrubs and trees she was not familiar with. Iron lanterns fit with purple and green glass-faces hung about, casting strange, drifting shadows that didn't quite seem to line up with the rotation of the lights they came from.<br /> <br /> Before they reached the building, the large iron double-doors opened.<br /> <br /> Inside stood the woman she had met before.<br /> <br /> The woman smiled, her white teeth a striking contrast to her still black-inked lips.<br /> <br /> &quot;Why hello, child. I'm glad you saw the wisdom of my offer. Your service starts tongight…&quot;<br /> <br /> [[File:Divider 001.jpg | center | 400 px]]<br /> <br /> That was over a year ago.<br /> <br /> The woman was none other than Aqille Vexx – one of the most powerful sorcerors in Blackport and a member of the dreaded Council of the Black Codex, the assemblage of arcane masters who advised and supported The Sovereign in all matters eldritch and esoteric.<br /> <br /> She was also one of the most evil, manipulative, and terrifying residents in the city.<br /> <br /> Her name was spoken in hushed whispers, if at all. Many would not name her, calling her simply &quot;The Dark Woman,&quot; and similar designations.<br /> <br /> What happened to those who crossed or displeased her was a matter of record – or in at least one case, still visible to any who's stomach's could handle the sight. The setting of one of her revenges was said to have had to been burned to the ground, as there was no natural way to remove the remains of those she had punished from the walls and crevices.<br /> <br /> Lirael feared her – anyone of wisdom did.<br /> <br /> But she also respected her.<br /> <br /> Brought to Blackport as a slave girl, the stories were that she had used her considerable charms to inveigle her way into the heart – and residence – of a powerful mage. She had served the man as a concubine and consort – all the while learning from his library while he was away. As her power grew, she formed alliances with others, resulting in her original lovers downfall as more powerful options presented themselves. A few were intimate – others thought they could control her. All were but rungs on the ladder that she climbed to the heights of arcane power.<br /> <br /> Now, decades later, she had reached the pinnacle of her profession. None dared cross her. It was rumored that even the Sovereign himself feared her wrath.<br /> <br /> Lirael's tasks were legion, including: shopping for supplies; cleaning of the libraries and labs; performing experiments (which sometimes resulted in cleaning the labs…); researching long-lost obscurities; and on and on.<br /> <br /> Sometimes she was sent to spy on someone, using the skills she had honed as a scout during her war-mage training.<br /> <br /> Other times, she wore steel and accompanied the archmage out during her meetings with others, when the Bugbears were the wrong tool for the job.<br /> <br /> But, she also learned.<br /> <br /> And her own power grew.<br /> <br /> == Important NPC's ==<br /> <br /> '''Ósé I'al-Auläre''' – her father, a Grey Elf who was once an ambassador; he was recalled to the Kingdom of the Grey Elves when she was only ten years old. She has never seen him again.<br /> <br /> '''Galéïs Séngän més Sïun''' – her mother, a relatively high-ranking government official in the Kingdom of the Wood Elves. Her mother had always loved and nurtured and mentored her; Lirael had not told her that she was leaving when she finally left the kingdom three years ago.<br /> <br /> '''Yogesh''' – a pirate aboard the raider Avarice, captained by one Malik Soliyev. Yogesh looks up Lirael when he is ashore, and she considers him a friend – not a close one, but a friend nonetheless.<br /> <br /> '''Aqille Vexx''' – a powerful archmage that Lirael works for as a live-in servant/ student/ spy/ guard. Lirael does not actually interact with Aqille in person a great deal – she receives her orders in writing sometimes, or via instructions from the House Master, Thevant de Qoll. Her quarters and board are part of her payment, as is her instruction – with the result that she does not have much liquid currency on her.<br /> <br /> '''Thevant de Qoll''' – the tall, gaunt human that serves as the Master of the House at Domus Nox. He is a head butler and chamberlain to the Lady Aqille, running the property and dealing with bills and other mundane problems. He is middle-aged and devoid of any sense of humor, as far as Lirael can tell. Despite her year serving Aqille, he seems to still regard her as a temporary border, and treats her as such. She has no idea if he has any skills beyond an acid tongue and a black sense of humor.<br /> <br /> '''Sugu''' and '''Dugu''' – the two huge Bugbear brothers who serve Aqille as the house guards. They are generally ornamental in nature – the house is warded and trapped in such as way that physical guards are superfluous. But there are certain elements in the city that would not be bright enough to figure that out, so the presence of a few hulking, armored guards helps keep down the number of times that Aqille is forced to renew her magical protections. When they are off-duty (usually the daylight hours), they are fond of drinking and partying in The Maw, Spearaxe, and Grunt. While she doesn't consider either of them friends, they have gained a healthy respect for each other's abilities.<br /> <br /> '''Áfatha''' – an Elf sorcerer who Lirael met during one of her errands for Aqille. He is handsome, witty, charming, playful – and interested only in men. He spends a great deal of time at a tavern in Darklane called Amphisbanae, which Lirael has yet to visit. She runs into him mostly at the Librum Arcanae in the same district, a private library that all the major spellcasting guilds have bought into for research purposes. He is one of the few people in Blackport that she considers trustworthy enough to let down her guard around. He was originally someone that Aqille wanted spied on, but then later she seemed to have shifted her target.</div>

The daughter of one of the King's wisest and learned seers, she was raised according to the values of her people, the Wood-Elves (I'riathi), who valued ambition, martial prowess, and arcane power, driven by the many enemies that surrounded the sylvan kingdom.<br /> <br /> Her father, Ósé I'al-Auläre, was a noble emissary from the court of the ancient island Elven Kingdom of I'ali'on, far across the oceans. If the myths were to be believed, it was the original island homeland of all Elves of the Lands, the place where all of them had originated from some eight thousand years ago. His people, the Grey Elves (I'ali) claimed to be the rootstock from which all other elves descended. He was an impeccable example of the culture of the Grey Elves – austere; observant and judgmental; and to whom preservation of the ancient ways was an unquestioned duty, the only bulwark against complete chaos.<br /> <br /> He had arrived on a great ship from I'ali'on to the human port of Alaraqes in Anida, taking the great river, that the humans called the Porón, up into the forest.

For one still learning the arts. You have talent.&quot;<br /> <br /> She turned quickly to see a bent-over old human woman standing before her. Her skin was very dark – so dark that the shadows from her robe seemed to simply extend to the skin on her hands and face. Her hair was a black that was slowly greying, mostly obscured under the heavy black hooded cloak she wore over the matching black robes, the edges embroidered with strange designs in silver thread.

Should you prove competent and loyal, you will find me a generous patron.&quot;<br /> <br /> Her eyes seemed to flare a moment.<br /> <br /> &quot;If not…well, then such as these will be the least of your worries. You can find me in the Midnight Gardens, should you wish to strike a bargain. Domus Nox is my residence. Ask for Domina Vexx, and tell the guard that you seek my instruction in the dark arts.&quot;<br /> <br /> With that, the woman turned and disappeared into the gathering crowd. She could hear the Wardens being summoned, and decided she needed to leave, lest this turn into a problem she didn't need right now.<br /> <br /> But the offer stuck with her. At night, she thought about it.<br /> <br /> Someone who could further her training.<br /> <br /> For what? A service she had already provided to others – others who had not given as much in return.<br /> <br /> Within a week, she found herself at the dark iron gates of Domus Nox, in the peaceful if somewhat sinister tranquility of the Midnight Gardens.<br /> <br /> She rapped on the huge black iron knocker, fashioned into the face of a monstrous beast with horns and splayed ears and massive tusks, sending ominous echoing booms into the courtyard beyond.<br /> <br /> Moments later, she was being escorted into the dark courtyard by a pair of huge Bugbears clad in heavy armor bearing massive, flanged maces. She tried to act nonchalant as they strode toward the squat, basalt block building in the middle of the grounds, which were planted with strange, unusual shrubs and trees she was not familiar with. Iron lanterns fit with purple and green glass-faces hung about, casting strange, drifting shadows that didn't quite seem to line up with the rotation of the lights they came from.<br /> <br /> Before they reached the building, the large iron double-doors opened.<br /> <br /> Inside stood the woman she had met before.<br /> <br /> The woman smiled, her white teeth a striking contrast to her still black-inked lips.<br /> <br /> &quot;Why hello, child. I'm glad you saw the wisdom of my offer. Your service starts tongight…&quot;<br /> <br /> [[File:Divider 001.jpg | center | 400 px]]<br /> <br /> That was over a year ago.<br /> <br /> The woman was none other than Aqille Vexx – one of the most powerful sorcerors in Blackport and a member of the dreaded Council of the Black Codex, the assemblage of arcane masters who advised and supported The Sovereign in all matters eldritch and esoteric.<br /> <br /> She was also one of the most evil, manipulative, and terrifying residents in the city.<br /> <br /> Her name was spoken in hushed whispers, if at all.

All were but rungs on the ladder that she climbed to the heights of arcane power.<br /> <br /> Now, decades later, she had reached the pinnacle of her profession. None dared cross her. It was rumored that even the Sovereign himself feared her wrath.<br /> <br /> Lirael's tasks were legion, including: shopping for supplies; cleaning of the libraries and labs; performing experiments (which sometimes resulted in cleaning the labs…); researching long-lost obscurities; and on and on.<br /> <br /> Sometimes she was sent to spy on someone, using the skills she had honed as a scout during her war-mage training.<br /> <br /> Other times, she wore steel and accompanied the archmage out during her meetings with others, when the Bugbears were the wrong tool for the job.<br /> <br /> But, she also learned.<br /> <br /> And her own power grew.<br /> <br /> == Important NPC's ==<br /> <br /> '''Ósé I'al-Auläre''' – her father, a Grey Elf who was once an ambassador; he was recalled to the Kingdom of the Grey Elves when she was only ten years old. She has never seen him again.<br /> <br /> '''Galéïs Séngän més Sïun''' – her mother, a relatively high-ranking government official in the Kingdom of the Wood Elves. Her mother had always loved and nurtured and mentored her; Lirael had not told her that she was leaving when she finally left the kingdom three years ago.<br /> <br /> '''Yogesh''' – a pirate aboard the raider Avarice, captained by one Malik Soliyev. Yogesh looks up Lirael when he is ashore, and she considers him a friend – not a close one, but a friend nonetheless.<br /> <br /> '''Aqille Vexx''' – a powerful archmage that Lirael works for as a live-in servant/ student/ spy/ guard. Lirael does not actually interact with Aqille in person a great deal – she receives her orders in writing sometimes, or via instructions from the House Master, Thevant de Qoll. Her quarters and board are part of her payment, as is her instruction – with the result that she does not have much liquid currency on her.<br /> <br /> '''Thevant de Qoll''' – the tall, gaunt human that serves as the Master of the House at Domus Nox. He is a head butler and chamberlain to the Lady Aqille, running the property and dealing with bills and other mundane problems. He is middle-aged and devoid of any sense of humor, as far as Lirael can tell. Despite her year serving Aqille, he seems to still regard her as a temporary border, and treats her as such. She has no idea if he has any skills beyond an acid tongue and a black sense of humor.<br /> <br /> '''Sugu''' and '''Dugu''' – the two huge Bugbear brothers who serve Aqille as the house guards. They are generally ornamental in nature – the house is warded and trapped in such as way that physical guards are superfluous. But there are certain elements in the city that would not be bright enough to figure that out, so the presence of a few hulking, armored guards helps keep down the number of times that Aqille is forced to renew her magical protections. When they are off-duty (usually the daylight hours), they are fond of drinking and partying in The Maw, Spearaxe, and Grunt. While she doesn't consider either of them friends, they have gained a healthy respect for each other's abilities.<br /> <br /> '''Áfatha''' – an Elf sorcerer who Lirael met during one of her errands for Aqille. He is handsome, witty, charming, playful – and interested only in men. He spends a great deal of time at a tavern in Darklane called Amphisbanae, which Lirael has yet to visit. She runs into him mostly at the Librum Arcanae in the same district, a private library that all the major spellcasting guilds have bought into for research purposes. He is one of the few people in Blackport that she considers trustworthy enough to let down her guard around. He was originally someone that Aqille wanted spied on, but then later she seemed to have shifted her target.</div>

It is a place where everything and anything is for sale for a price – so long as the appropriate taxes are paid so that the Sovereign’s coffers remain full. The laws, such as they are, are aimed at keeping the economy running; “crimes” that don’t affect the economics of the place are of little interest to the inhabitants.<br /> <br /> The city’s population is an amalgam of races that are likely not found elsewhere: Orcs from Ûgozh; human berserker warriors from Bakuland; barbaric humans of the Vulkul clans and tribes from the frozen north who arrive on ships; Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Bugbears; Ogres and Trolls, and a small number of true giants; even a few hardy Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings – mostly outcasts, criminals, and refugees from more civilized lands, who are tough enough to survive and thrive in a place dominated by their traditional enemies. Blackport is awash with pirates comprised of all these races, and more.<br /> <br /> Blackport also imports slaves from across all the Lands, as far away as mysterious Nihar, as close as the Kingdom of Athervon, just over the Iron Mountains. Many can only look forward to a life of servitude amongst those wealthy enough to afford them; some wretches are destined for the games of the Arena, there either to earn their masters enough to win their freedom, or to be carried out to be processed for the humanoid denizens of the city; a slave’s only hope is that they are expensive, which means the laws of the City protect the economic interests of their masters.<br /> <br /> == Campaign Overview ==<br /> <br /> This will be a city-based adventure using [https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/Advanced_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_2nd_Edition_Wiki '''''AD&amp;D 2E'''''] rules; emphasis is on role playing, I try to do most of the bookkeeping for the characters so they can focus on decisions.<br /> <br /> An ongoing campaign (3+ years) in the same world setting can be found [https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/ad-d-2e-lands-of-the-black-sea-southern-campaign-continuation-i.907923/page-23#post-25418912 '''here''']; the main page of this [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page | '''Wiki''']] covers the basics of the campaign setting, including realms, geography, and the like. <br /> <br /> Information about Blackport itself is found on the Wiki [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/realms/Blackport| '''here''']]. This, along with the map, will evolve as the game progresses – the game will be defining the setting as we go.<br /> <br /> I’m looking to run one or more adventures in Blackport. Neutral or evil characters will have the easiest time integrating into the evirons; good characters are allowed, but they will be swimming upstream in this setting.<br /> <br /> The city is modeled after an amalgamation of content from: Judge’s Guild ''City-State of the Invincible Overlord''; Golotha from the ''Cities of Harn''; elements from ''Lankhmar''; ideas and themes from Steve Jackson’s ''Khare: Cityport of Traps''; and the overall tone of Robert Aspin’s ''Thieves’ Word'' series, as well as other sources. All integrated with some homebrew elements.<br /> <br /> This activity is primarily focused on role-playing to help me develop the city environs, NPC’s, and setting – there will not necessarily be a lot of dungeon crawling, at least not at the beginning.<br /> <br /> Characters can be of the following races: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Orc, Half-Orc, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Ogre, Half-Ogre, Bugbear, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling. We'll use the [https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/The_Complete_Book_of_Humanoids '''''Complete Book of Humanoids'''''] to create characters for the non-standard races.<br /> <br /> Any character alignment and class is allowed (for any race); we’ll figure out how to mod the rules for non-standard races. Note that the setting is predominantly lawful evil, but very tolerant of any religion or alignment so long as taxes are paid and rules are followed. That said, I would expect a Lawful Good character to be pretty miserable in this setting.<br /> <br /> == Campaign Adventure Summaries ==<br /> &lt;font size=2&gt;<br /> &lt;font size=1&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;

The laws, such as they are, are aimed at keeping the economy running; “crimes” that don’t affect the economics of the place are of little interest to the inhabitants.<br /> <br /> The city’s population is an amalgam of races that are likely not found elsewhere: Orcs from Ûgozh; human berserker warriors from Bakuland; barbaric humans of the Vulkul clans and tribes from the frozen north who arrive on ships; Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Bugbears; Ogres and Trolls, and a small number of true giants; even a few hardy Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings – mostly outcasts, criminals, and refugees from more civilized lands, who are tough enough to survive and thrive in a place dominated by their traditional enemies. Blackport is awash with pirates comprised of all these races, and more.<br /> <br /> Blackport also imports slaves from across all the Lands, as far away as mysterious Nihar, as close as the Kingdom of Athervon, just over the Iron Mountains. Many can only look forward to a life of servitude amongst those wealthy enough to afford them; some wretches are destined for the games of the Arena, there either to earn their masters enough to win their freedom, or to be carried out to be processed for the humanoid denizens of the city; a slave’s only hope is that they are expensive, which means the laws of the City protect the economic interests of their masters.<br /> <br /> == Campaign Overview ==<br /> <br /> This will be a city-based adventure using [https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/Advanced_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_2nd_Edition_Wiki '''''AD&amp;D 2E'''''] rules; emphasis is on role playing, I try to do most of the bookkeeping for the characters so they can focus on decisions.<br /> <br /> An ongoing campaign (3+ years) in the same world setting can be found [https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/ad-d-2e-lands-of-the-black-sea-southern-campaign-continuation-i.907923/page-23#post-25418912 '''here''']; the main page of this [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page | '''Wiki''']] covers the basics of the campaign setting, including realms, geography, and the like. <br /> <br /> Information about Blackport itself is found on the Wiki [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/realms/Blackport| '''here''']]. This, along with the map, will evolve as the game progresses – the game will be defining the setting as we go.<br /> <br /> I’m looking to run one or more adventures in Blackport. Neutral or evil characters will have the easiest time integrating into the evirons; good characters are allowed, but they will be swimming upstream in this setting.<br /> <br /> The city is modeled after an amalgamation of content from: Judge’s Guild ''City-State of the Invincible Overlord''; Golotha from the ''Cities of Harn''; elements from ''Lankhmar''; ideas and themes from Steve Jackson’s ''Khare: Cityport of Traps''; and the overall tone of Robert Aspin’s ''Thieves’ Word'' series, as well as other sources. All integrated with some homebrew elements.<br /> <br /> This activity is primarily focused on role-playing to help me develop the city environs, NPC’s, and setting – there will not necessarily be a lot of dungeon crawling, at least not at the beginning.<br /> <br /> Characters can be of the following races: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Orc, Half-Orc, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Ogre, Half-Ogre, Bugbear, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling. We'll use the [https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/The_Complete_Book_of_Humanoids '''''Complete Book of Humanoids'''''] to create characters for the non-standard races.<br /> <br /> Any character alignment and class is allowed (for any race); we’ll figure out how to mod the rules for non-standard races. Note that the setting is predominantly lawful evil, but very tolerant of any religion or alignment so long as taxes are paid and rules are followed. That said, I would expect a Lawful Good character to be pretty miserable in this setting.<br /> <br /> == Campaign Adventure Summaries ==<br /> &lt;font size=2&gt;<br /> &lt;font size=1&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;

It is a place where everything and anything is for sale for a price – so long as the appropriate taxes are paid so that the Sovereign’s coffers remain full. The laws, such as they are, are aimed at keeping the economy running; “crimes” that don’t affect the economics of the place are of little interest to the inhabitants.<br /> <br /> The city’s population is an amalgam of races that are likely not found elsewhere: Orcs from Ûgozh; human berserker warriors from Bakuland; barbaric humans of the Vulkul clans and tribes from the frozen north who arrive on ships; Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Bugbears; Ogres and Trolls, and a small number of true giants; even a few hardy Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings – mostly outcasts, criminals, and refugees from more civilized lands, who are tough enough to survive and thrive in a place dominated by their traditional enemies. Blackport is awash with pirates comprised of all these races, and more.<br /> <br /> Blackport also imports slaves from across all the Lands, as far away as mysterious Nihar, as close as the Kingdom of Athervon, just over the Iron Mountains. Many can only look forward to a life of servitude amongst those wealthy enough to afford them; some wretches are destined for the games of the Arena, there either to earn their masters enough to win their freedom, or to be carried out to be processed for the humanoid denizens of the city; a slave’s only hope is that they are expensive, which means the laws of the City protect the economic interests of their masters.<br /> <br /> == Campaign Overview ==<br /> <br /> This will be a city-based adventure using [https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/Advanced_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_2nd_Edition_Wiki '''''AD&amp;D 2E'''''] rules; emphasis is on role playing, I try to do most of the bookkeeping for the characters so they can focus on decisions.<br /> <br /> An ongoing campaign (3+ years) in the same world setting can be found [https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/ad-d-2e-lands-of-the-black-sea-southern-campaign-continuation-i.907923/page-23#post-25418912 '''here''']; the main page of this [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page | '''Wiki''']] covers the basics of the campaign setting, including realms, geography, and the like. <br /> <br /> Information about Blackport itself is found on the Wiki [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/realms/Blackport| '''here''']]. This, along with the map, will evolve as the game progresses – the game will be defining the setting as we go.<br /> <br /> I’m looking to run one or more adventures in Blackport. Neutral or evil characters will have the easiest time integrating into the evirons; good characters are allowed, but they will be swimming upstream in this setting.<br /> <br /> The city is modeled after an amalgamation of content from: Judge’s Guild ''City-State of the Invincible Overlord''; Golotha from the ''Cities of Harn''; elements from ''Lankhmar''; ideas and themes from Steve Jackson’s ''Khare: Cityport of Traps''; and the overall tone of Robert Aspin’s ''Thieves’ Word'' series, as well as other sources. All integrated with some homebrew elements.<br /> <br /> This activity is primarily focused on role-playing to help me develop the city environs, NPC’s, and setting – there will not necessarily be a lot of dungeon crawling, at least not at the beginning.<br /> <br /> Characters can be of the following races: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Orc, Half-Orc, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Ogre, Half-Ogre, Bugbear, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling. We'll use the [https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/The_Complete_Book_of_Humanoids '''''Complete Book of Humanoids'''''] to create characters for the non-standard races.<br /> <br /> Any character alignment and class is allowed (for any race); we’ll figure out how to mod the rules for non-standard races. Note that the setting is predominantly lawful evil, but very tolerant of any religion or alignment so long as taxes are paid and rules are followed. That said, I would expect a Lawful Good character to be pretty miserable in this setting.<br /> <br /> == Campaign Adventure Summaries ==<br /> &lt;font size=2&gt;<br /> &lt;font size=1&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;

Given Name !! Occupation !! Location !! Notes<br /> |-<br /> | Muik || Gaulfus || Scribe || Darklane, Blackport || a Half-Elf who was taken ill the evening that Ärauith was robbed. She tells Khyria where his residence is in Darklane. He is employed there as a scribe in the Sodalitas Novem Essentium (Guild of the Nine Essences – the Alchemists Guild, led by Zedicus Idore). &lt;/font&gt;<br /> |-<br /> | || Thalánauir || Tailor || Lord's Gate, Blackport || a Black Elf who recently visited Ärauith for a divination related to whether he would come into money. She knows that he works in Lord’s Gate in one of the tailor shops there but otherwise knows little about him. <br /> |-<br /> | || Sinéthui || Unknown || Ironshadow, Blackport || a Black Elf who regularly visits Ärauith for blessings; his undisclosed work apparently involves being outdoors at night under the moon. Ärauith does not know where he lives, but she has seen him several times at a tavern the Elves frequent in Ironshadow called Ends and Beginnings. <br /> |-<br /> | || Cibrán || Carpenter || Guildhall, Blackport || a Halfling carpenter who recently did work in the residence. He is a member of the Carpenter’s Guild and presumably can be reached through them via their headquarters in the Guildhall District. <br /> |-<br /> | Äunos || Fené || Priestess || Darklane, Blackport || the second-highest ranked priestess in the faith after Ärauith. She would be the obvious next in line should Ärauith fall from grace, and she does not shrink from this duty. She has been a firm but fair tutor and mentor to Khyria during her time as an acolyte but keeps her thoughts to herself. <br /> |-<br /> | Iláés || Tsïath || Priestess || Hero's Gate, Blackport || third in seniority after Ärauith and then Fené. She is overly deferential to Ärauith while at the same time undermines Fené; she is arrogant and domineering to Séláés and Khyria, holding that their half-blood status should disqualify them from the priesthood. <br /> |-<br /> | Iäl’aura || Séláés || Priestess || Lord's Gate, Blackport || fourth in line of seniority. She makes no secret of the fact that she thinks she could do a better job than any of the other priestesses in leading the flock, and she is not distraught over Ärauith’s current misfortune. <br /> |-<br /> | || Gwynhine || Beggar || Lord's Gate, Blackport || A female human beggar who is frequently stationed outside of her residence building. She may be a member of one of the Beggar’s Guilds, or may simply be a freelance beggar. But either way, she may have seen or heard something. <br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/font size&gt;<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> <br /> * [https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/ad-d-2e-blackport.925705/post-25744528 '''OOC Post with Leads that Ärauith gave to Khyria Dami''']</div>
