History of York

York-A minor primal realm existing in the remaining shadows of a fallen Shade of Amber.

In the shadows of Amber are many Shade realms and in them many things have happened. In this one soon after the Black Road War and the reign of Random I, a war lead by Koob, High Lord of Chaos in a shade of Chaos, made war on Amber and it was eventually destroyed. Lord Koob gave Tolknor, the last King of Amber, permission to let the people leave as long as the pattern was destroyed. All the surroundings shadows having been boiled away there was little reason to save it so Tolknor allowed his blood to erace the pattern of Amber-now Amber Fallen. In doing so he saved the Rock Kolvir and attempted to forge a new pattern but failed in the attempt, creating a squiggle of order called Plymouth. In this bubble many of the survivors of Koob's War remained safe. Koob returned to Chaos, claiming to have no hatred of Tolknor's new creation.

In time Tolknor forged again and the stable Primal Realm of York was created.

A connection between the Tosain worlds and the new realm was crated because of their proximity in shadow by the two creations of Plymouth and York.

Saint of Battle

The Saints of battle are warriors who have achieved a signature victorious battle, considered mighty enough by the other Saints of Battle to accord them this peerage. It is considered a Knighthood in nearly all Tosain & York realms. In many realms the arrival of a Saint of Battle causes opposing warriors to rethink the question of conflict.

Warriors can achieve many awards. 12 Awards are required to be invited to the Council of Battle and vote on new recipients.

The only notification of an award is its sudden arrival, with the objects of the accolade.

Realm Specific Elements and Magical Artifacts

Elemental Stones

Among the shadows of York are deep and wide veins of gems that touch places of raw elemental power. These stones can be forged into stones that can channel elemental attacks when properly mounted near a sentient creature's brain. They look like a 1' wide stone.

Once mounted the wielder can channel significant amounts of the element the stone is connected to. Frequency of attacks depends on wielder's psyche.

• • Red Stones channel fireballs.
  • Blue Stones channel water balls. While the water is dramatically less damaging then other elements it has considerable force to move and sirupt the activities of targets. Also water channeled is guaranteed pure and fresh and is an excellent way to fill barrels, and pools.
  • Green Stones channel a powerful corrosive acid.
  • White Stones channel ice force, causing freezing damage as well as freezing small bodies of water.
  • Purple Stones channel a thick choking smoke of a purple color.

Swords of Colossal Excavation

• A Tosian weapon-maker of the Dolsin region, Ugala Nok, received a boon from a archmage and by mangling his request he gained the power to create one type of magical item in only two form. The two forms were spade and sword. The magic he could imbue was colossal excavation. In a spade it could help create a hole quickly, though it was tiring to use. In a sword it had unexpected results. The sword cut huge swaths from foes. It tears apart armor at the rivets, shreds leather, passes through chainmail like butter, magical armors only slowing them a little. On flesh it does something approximate to 5 times the damage a normal blade of its size and form. The wielder of the blade received magical healing equal to the damage he inflicts. Is immune to decapitation. They receive energy, and a glee in battle. Often the wielder is unable to stop fighting till all foes are defeated. After which they often lapse into exhaustion.
• The swords of Colossal Excavation became prized heirlooms. Many families used them as swords of state.
• A Pandybat is a weapon more dangerous to the user then the foe. The Swords of Colossal Excavation have always had that reputation, but they still have a reputation as a weapon of terror on the field.

Rearden Metal

• • Rearden Metal is a alloy of iron and copper processed to create an industrial metal far beyond the best high tensile steels. It has a tensile strength far beyond the best high grades of stainless steel, and is a quarter as light. It is a difficult alloy to create for medieval style metal workers and most of it comes from highly technological worlds.
  • Rearden is created magically in some worlds. There are many spells that cause metals to become malleable and Reardan is one of the most commonly used metals for this.
  • While not a precious metal in itself it is often used in jewelry and magical weapons and armor.
  • Rearden Metal has a certain cultural cache in Yorkian shadows where some groups idolize it for numerous reasons. Jake Whitetail[[1]] has a hard shock troop of Centaurs armed in Rearden breastplates.

Monsters of York

• Ravers

There are 3 elemental creatures that generate withing the realms despite being repeatedly destroyed. The Ravers Kagath, Dreal, and Gandat are beleived to be part of the divergence of the Pattern of York from the Shade of Amber-Fallen and its difference from the true pattern of Amber. Beasts of great power, they are able to posses and control other creatures and are extraordinarily difficult to defeat. Once defeated the victor is imprinted by the forces of the universe with a green mithril tree on their forehead. They can be removed by the King of York using the Yorkian Jewel of Judgment.
