[[NPC Cheatsheets]]
- '''[[Bluebird]]'''


=Setting=
- '''[[Torath Manover]]'''


Setting and plot wise, I prefer to run a general sandboxy style, in that I like to know the interests of the players before nailing specifics, which is why I'm running this in Pavis, land of plothooks.
- '''[[Xanjeen the Harrappan]]'''


to give the area some context, please check out...
- '''[[Cunobelinus Elisedd]]'''


Some maps that put everything in context...
- '''[[Dalamides Aveticus]]'''


http://www.ironfort.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PavisMaps
- '''[[Hazphar Pharates]]'''


and a very good introduction and overview of the area.
- '''[[Flavius Ariston of Promares]]''':  dead at the hands of Gondo Holst.


http://home.freeuk.net/wimp/roleplaying/pavis-background.html
- '''[[Nirope]]'''


The default setting is very early Iron Age, with magic slowing technology a little in some areas, advancing it in others. All the RuneMetals, for example, are alloys by alchemy rather than,say, a solid gold breastplate.
- '''[[Lucwo]]'''. Native Zaring.


Pavis will be as in 1618-19, under lunar occupation but with rebellion still a far off gleam...or is it?
- [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Amnesiac  Jabal Bin-Marid] Amnesiac Medjay of the kadaru people(think sudanese/nubian) played by Iskallor--'''[[Djinn Trading]]'''


You are less than a days caravan travel from New pavis, on the old east road. Most of you will be there because you were making your way to Pavis to flee troubled pasts. Chalkies local was returning home to New Pavis from cult business and fell in with the caravan because he knew the local guide and a couple of the guards.
- '''[[Skally Two Crow]]''' guide to the Haunted woods


Shortly after dusk, the caravan was attacked by trolls, who were driven off at great cost. They were well organised and well armed, not troll bandits.
- '''[[Ganarsh]]''' A giant


If they follow a true troll pattern, they'll strike again before dawn...or so say the majority of the caravan, who have pushed off into the night toward Pavis. However, one group claims they cannot move until the suns first rays, and will make the characters an interesting offer...

== Herocults of the Pavis Humakt temple.==
Map of the Tower in the River:
[By the way, while the listing of Rune Types for the temple in most canon stand at 2 priests, 1 Lord, these figures ignore associate priests/Lords, of which there are 3 and 2 respectively. ]


*Erain Ardeth: Pavic herocult, seeker of truths.
*[http://s634.photobucket.com/albums/uu64/rstites_2009/towerinriver.jpg Tower in River]
*Li Phanquan: Eastern Warrior, undead slayer in the wastes.
*Yan Starcere: Well known bodyguard hero.
*Inginew Swordsmith: Weaponmaker and swordsmith.
*Anardil willow: Local elf hero, outcast from and protector of The Garden.
*Zarka Sword alone: Local Troll hero, oath protector.
