* The Southern Nations

A combination of the following Kingdoms: The Wildlands, the Freelands, Galea, Olara, and the Elvish Nation. A loose confederacy at best, mostly combined to counter the aggressions of their more expansionist Northern neighbours. Sadly, the Wildlands, Freelands and Galea do not have proper write-ups yet... but additional information will be added as it becomes available.

Ironically, the area in which our adventure actually takes place... and there's no proper write up of it yet. I imagine it'll be something European in flavour, but your guess is as good as mine at this stage.

''Background:''
−
<br>
+
Martin is a young man of a small noble house from the kingdom of Galea, the fourth and youngest son. Although his family lacks political influence or great wealth they are extremely proud, especially of their long line of great warriors and knights. Every member of the clan seeks to emulate their warrior ancestors and they are known as some of the finest fighters in the kingdom.

+
However, Martin's father, Cerald, was not a man to be bound by tradition and he was observant enough to notice that Martin showed greater aptitude with books and words than with a blade. Rather than force his youngest son onto the training ground with his brothers he hired tutors for the boy to help him pursue other talents. When his talent for magic became apparent Martin was sent to study the manipulation of the Aether.

==3. Rules and Associated Fun!==
+
Martin proved to be an able student and by the age of 20 he completed his training in the basics of Sorcery and would likely have attained the title of Mage in a few more years if his studies had not been interrupted by his father's death.

After returning home to pay his respects and mourn his father things turned much harder for Martin. His brothers did not have their father's appreciation for pursuits other than the art of battle and his eldest brother was not willing to open the family purse any further to allow Martin's education to continue.

==4. Our Adventures Thus Far==
 
  
−
The Duchy of Deresford is relatively new territory and against all odds prosperous. Duke Osweald is the fifth son of a powerful Olaran noble. He came to the Wildlands with a company of his father's spearmen and a few Knights and soon carved out a territory of his own. The land he claimed wasn't promising on first view, but canny man, the Duke introduced Sheep farming and terracing to get the most of the land and now has built up a very good wool and dye trade. He also discovered ore deposits and operates a number of open copper mines. The wool goes south to the port town of Coastline where it is traded at very good profit and the ore goes north to the Korg Humps where the Dwarves are more than happy to trade for it.
+
Although there was no hatred between Martin and his three brothers they certainly looked down on the pursuit their youngest sibling had chosen for himself. In a family of warriors Martin recieved little respect and no small amount of ridicule.
  
−
Before Duke Osweald arrived there were just a few goatherds and their families, since his arrival Wildlanders have arrived to farm, mine, trade or serve as soldiers for the Duke. There is of course a large population of Olarans and many families have come from the lands of the Malakar Dominion. The latter come seeking a new, peaceful, and honest life away from the oppression and corruption of the Dominion.
+
Without the money to return to his studies, and no one in the family willing to give any responsibility to someone who could barely hold a blade Martin sought out a position in the Rangers to prove himself to his family (or at least to get away from them).
  
−
There is one trade town that has grown up around the Duke's Keep and several villages. However, Deresford's, mainly human, population is , for the most part, spread over the hills on small isolated farmsteads.
+
Although Martin is actually a fairly competent warrior, this is mostly incidental training and tricks he's picked up simply as a result of living in the same house with his family, compared to the rest of his brothers (all extremely capable swordsmen) he's a barely competent novice.
  
−
Our intrepid group, accompanied by a group of fellow Rangers, set out for the Keep. However, on our first night out, Sergeant MacRoth, commander of the expedition and in charge of the final watch of the night, has disappeared!
+
Also worth noting; although he is a noble by birth his status as the black sheep of the family means he doesn't have the Noble edge, the family treasury is closed to him and his status as 4th son ensures little in the way personal reputation or influence.
