They were introduced to the War Council and vice versa. A truly bizarre crystalline being, Vorlith the Warden, was present but remarkably unremarked upon. The vibes were unusually good. Sartaq had sent a war party of werewolves (known in the Steppe as a Baar Mitz’vaa) to aid Bregan, as a golden stag had appeared to him in a dream and told him that the black fortress must fall before the red moon (in 3 days). Aylin, the werewolf chief, wants to fuck Ilabrar though he does not know this. The Fishwife is intact and the crew has joined in the siege, though all seem unable to talk about how they arrived. Bregan had sent another party of heroes to a sea cave to infiltrate the fortress, but they had not returned. The party attempts the same route, accompanied by a hornt up Aylin.. On the way to the sea cave, they encounter the corpse of one of the Seven Star-Knights of King Thrymr, a mightly storm giant warrior. Using his powers of deduction, Ardrick determines that the knight was killed by a powerful psychic blast.</div>

This mighty [[fey lord]], a manifestation of the moon's serene radiance, was the guardian of celestial dreams and the keeper of secrets that echo through the astral realms.<br /> <br /> ==Physical Appearance==<br /> The Lunar Knight was a luminous figure adorned in shimmering silver armor that seemed to reflect moonbeams and starlight and which captivated those fortunate enough to gaze upon him. A moon mask, matching the moon's phase, concealed his visage.<br /> <br /> ==Realm==<br /> The Lunar Knight's domain, known as Astral Reverie, existed in the luminal spaces between the material plane and [[the Feywild]]. This ephemeral realm was a dreamscape of floating islands, ethereal rivers, and astral gardens where the essence of imagination takes tangible form.<br /> <br /> ==Powers and Abilities==<br /> <br /> * Dreamweaving: The Lunar Knight had the power to traverse the dreams of mortals and fey alike, leaving subtle guidance or gentle nudges to shape destinies through celestial visions.<br /> <br /> * Astral Armaments: In times of need, The Lunar Knight can conjure celestial weapons and armor made of pure starlight. These ephemeral armaments lend strength to those who champion the cause of celestial dreams.<br /> <br /> *Eternal Vigilance: The Lunar Knight kept watch over the astral realms, detecting disturbances in the fabric of dreams and intervening to quell nightmares or thwart entities that sought to pervert the sanctity of dreams.<br /> <br /> ==Role in the Feywild==<br /> As the Guardian of Celestial Dreams, The Lunar Knight served as an emissary between the realms of dreams and reality, and his presence in the Feywild is a beacon of inspiration for bards and poets who drew upon these energies for their craft.</div>

The mines were abandoned centuries ago, and their location has faded from memory. Vasha believed that reopening the mines could united the dwarves of his clan, long ago exiled by the giants, but ancient guardians and forgotten dangers may stand in the way.</div>

DM http://talesofkaess.benharper.info/w/index.php?title=Kingdom_of_Nindrol&diff=4720 2024-02-14T04:36:10Z

<p>DM: </p> <hr /> <div>The [[Kingdom of Nindrol]] was a sea elven kingdom located northwest of the [[Duchy of Alon]]. It was founded over one thousand years ago by a powerful sorcerer who banished the [[sahuagin]] from the [[Material Plane]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> === Founding ===<br /> <br /> Nindrol was founded by the semi-legendary sorcerer-chieftain [[Elathor of the Black Wind]], who helped drive the then-pervasive [[sahuagin]] from the Skaugan seas to some other realm. He is said to have grown the coral palace from the seafloor in a single day. <br /> <br /> === Era of Prosperity ===<br /> Owing to its location between [[Gazetteer#Argonas|Argonas]] and [[Gazetteer#Hinazka|Hinazka]], the kingdom prospered as a trading post. The end of the kingdom's prosperity began with the mysterious disappearance of [[Amnestria the Dragonslayer|Queen Amnestria &quot;the Dragonslayer&quot; Naïlo]]. [[Mourn the Oathbreaker|King Mourn &quot;The Oathbreaker&quot; Naïlo]] inherited the throne after Queen Amnestria.<br /> <br /> === Plague ===<br /> Early in King Mourn's reign a great plague ravaged the kingdom. Though elves are known for their resistance to disease, the kingdom was decimated, leading some to conclude that the disease was caused by evil magic. It is said that King Mourn made a pact with a dark power in an attempt to contain the infection; this was likely the cause of his madness. He began to rely on demonic servitors, bound to him by some fell magic, to enforce his rule.<br /> === Civil War ===<br /> In an attempt to take control of the kingdom and depose the mad king, King Mourn's brother, [[Elashor the Ceremonious|Elashor &quot;The Ceremonious&quot; Naïlo]], waged a civil war against The Oathbreaker. Many of the mightiest sea elven warriors and mages were killed in the battles. To counter The Oathbreaker's undead and fiendish allies, then-Prince Elashor arranged a marriage with [[Miralee Nasadra]], a scion of the powerful drow [[House Nasadra]] of [[Ched Nasad]]. Meera's sisters led a force of drow mages and assassins who managed to help turn the tide of the war and allow Elashor to force The Oathbreaker to battle outside the walls of Nindrol.<br /> <br /> The brothers met in single combat, Elashor wielding his dowry, the magic sword [[Telemnar]] (&quot;silver-flame&quot;), and The Oathbreaker fighting with the terrible black trident [[Unqfëa]] (&quot;fisher of souls&quot;). Elashor prevailed but took a terrible wound that never fully healed, despite the best efforts of the sea elven clerics and doctors.<br /> <br /> === Destruction ===<br /> The destruction of the Kingdom of Nindrol came to be known as the [[Desolation of Nindrol]].<br /> <br /> == Present Day ==<br /> After the death of Countess Mila Amastica in the fortress city of [[Noctvos]], seat of [[County of Malon]] in the [[Duchy of Alon]], [[Ilabrar]] recovered what at first glance appeared to be an astronomical chart, but was actually a topographical map of a coral reef. <br /> <br /> It depicted a crescent-shaped island and an entrance into Nindrol.<br /> <br /> ==Trees==<br /> ''Main page: [[List of Notable Trees#Nindrol|List of Notable Trees]]''<br /> [[File:Ash_tree.png|thumb|none]]<br /> <br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> *[[House Naïlo]]<br /> *[[House Nasadra]]</div>

The kingdom was wracked by a supernatural [[Kingdom of Nindrol#Plague|plague]]. It is said that the Oathbreaker made a pact with an evil power in an attempt to rid the kingdom of the pestilence. This bargain caused Mourn to descend into madness, however, and [[Elashor the Ceremonious]] attempted to take the crown from his elder brother.<br /> <br /> To gather allies to his cause, Elashor married [[Miralee Nasadra|Miralee]] of the powerful [[drow]] [[House Nasadra]]. Miralee's sisters, [[Yvonell Nasadra|Yvonell]] and [[Liriel Nasadra|Liriel]], interceded on behalf of Elashor and were able to turn the tide of the war.<br /> <br /> Elashor and Mourn dueled outside the walls of Nindrol, with Elashor emerging victorious but not without a grievous wound from Mourn's cursed trident, [[Unqfëa]], the Fisher of Souls. His wound never healed.<br /> <br /> The wellbeing of the Kingdom of Nindrol is linked to the health of its ruler. Already weakened by plague and war, the kingdom further suffered due to Elashor's cursed wound.<br /> <br /> ==Desolation==<br /> The downfall of Nindrol began with the reappearance of the [[sahuagin]], who had been banished from the material plane a thousand years prior by the kingdom's founder, [[Aelar the Wise]]. Elashor called for aid from the sun elves, but they did not answer despite their ties to [[House Naïlo]].</div>

<p>DM: /* Chapter Fifteen: ??? */</p> <hr /> <div>== The great Achievements and Exploits of [[Ka-Ess the Rakish]] and his merry [[Fishwives]] ==<br /> <br /> === Prologue: [[Admiral Drax|The Dread Admiral]] and the Lovely Maiden ===<br /> In which our Hero, the valiant Ka-Ess, makes common cause with the stalwart [[Bragen Minotauros]] and the enigmatic [[Mute, Illiterate Half-Orc]] to flee the clutches of the dread [[Admiral Drax]], heedless of the danger thus incurred. Exhausted after their escape, the Company washes ashore [[Hag Island|an uncharted island]] and are greeted there by [[The Hag|a beautiful maiden]] with a terrible secret.<br /> <br /> === Chapter One: [[The Satisfied Fishwife]] ===<br /> In need of crew and supplies, the Company flees to [[Port Skaug]]. They take lodgings at [[the Wayward Lobster]], where they make the acquaintance of [[Ardrick Blackstone|a doughty Dwarf]] and [[Ilabrar Nightbreeze|a mysterious Druid]]. Their crew assembled, they depart to seize [[The Satisfied Fishwife|the ship]] of a disgraced pirate captain.<br /> <br /> === Chapter Two: The Taking of Hag Island ===<br /> Our brave company returns to Port Skaug the masters of their newly-acquired sloop, &lt;i&gt;The Satisfied Fishwife&lt;/i&gt;. The Fishwives, for now they have truly adopted that name, seek the patronage of the [[Marquis de Rothshyr]] in their quest to visit vengeance upon [[the Hag]]. At the Marquis' [[The Solar Festival|Solar Festival]], while under the influence of powerful hallucinogens, they defeat assassins sent after [[Ilabrar]] and earn the Marquis' respect. Under his imprimatur, they sail to [[Hag Island]] to slay the fell witch and claim it for their own.<br /> <br /> === Chapter Three: Perils Beneath the Earth ===<br /> The Hag slain, the Fishwives delve into her subterranean lair, an [[Ancient Tomb|ancient tomb complex]] which long predated her. There, they find and rescue the warlock [[Sathul Talshill]], a being of great power and unknown motivation. As they explore [[Ancient Tomb|the tomb]], they make allies of [[Cal|dragons]], couatls, [[Kronk|cyclopes]] and other beasts - and awaken [[Xipacna|a long-buried Evil]].<br /> <br /> === Chapter Four: An Unspeakable Evil Inhabits Our Basement ===<br /> The Fishwives return to the Marquis in triumph, and are awarded noble titles and [[Vanwamarta|a Skaugan manse]], which hides secrets of its own. As they battle [[Ashok|the shadow-elf]] sealed in their cellar, [[Cheeky Patch|a new companion]] bursts forth from the ether to save them. Among the demon's effects, a [[crystal orb]] containing the souls of [[House Amakiir]].<br /> <br /> === Chapter Five: [[Luaus of the Goblin-King]] ===<br /> The Fishwives return to the [[Halfling Encampment]] to find that a new and terrible foe now preys upon the succulent Halflings. They resolve to seek the Mute, Illiterate Half-Orc, who has disappeared into the jungle. Our Heroes have scarcely begun to search the jungles for their companion when they come upon a fierce battle between the [[goblins]] and the [[grung]]. Impressing the goblin survivor with their godlike powers, they are taken by him to their Big Boss, unifier of the goblin clans. He is, of course, Mute, Illiterate Half-Orc! - and the celebration which follows is one of great intoxication and merriment. But fell doings are afoot: a dread [[vampire]] has returned to his [[ruined temple]], now miraculously restored! <br /> <br /> === Chapter Six: [[The Temple of Xipacna]] ===<br /> [[Xipacna]] - for that was the name of the beast - soon falls to the great magic and [[moon]]-blessedness of the Company. Undeterred by this battle, the Fishwives brave further into the catacombs of the temple to face the mighty [[mind-flayer]]. Through the power of song, the Company elicits the goopy elixir of the snail god [[Tecuziztecatl]] and, thus fortified, plunges into a flooded crevasse to combat the [[hideous aboleth]]. From the depths of the temple, the Fishwives swashbuckle their way [[wiktionary:excelsior|ever highward]], putting to an end at the points of their bright blades many abominations and rescuing the wise and cunning [[Elven]] diplomat [[Aldon Endir]], who in the tomb had slumbered for a thousand [[Dolorianian Regnal Calendar|years]]. Finally emerging atop the pyramid, where they had battled [[the hag]] but weeks ago, they survey the new land for which they have already shed much blood.<br /> <br /> === Chapter Seven: [[The Marquis' Estate]] ===<br /> <br /> Upon returning to Port Skaug, the Ka-Ess put on a lavishly (some would say ruinously) expensive ball for the rest of the [[High Captains]]. Ilabrar, with his new weretiger senses, seemed to smell a literal (and perhaps metaphorical) shark as they mingled with the various Captains. They were entertained by an orcish opera of the antique style, a boxing match in which [[the half-orc]] prevailed, and of course a number of [[well-oiled, nubile dancing lads]].<br /> <br /> The revels were interrupted by news of an attack on the Marquis' estate. The Fishwives raced to their patron's abode, finding a well-trained unit of hobgoblin musketeers, several dangerous mercenaries, and a horrifyingly-mutated fish-priest. They defeated their foes after a hard fight, but not before the Marquis was slain by assassins. Ardrick managed to revive him with the Holy Light of Kord, but the assailants escaped on manticores with their prize: [[the red gem]]. Several <br /> <br /> === Chapter Eight: The Voyage to Lome; An Idyll in [[the Feywild]] ===<br /> <br /> En route to Lome, the Fishwives encountered a supernatural fog and a ghostly ship. Sathul was able to make brief psychic combat, and the ghosts begged for the release of death. <br /> <br /> They soon encountered a mist-covered island with great stone pillars. Ilabrar, conversing with local [[ents]], realized this was the [[Tomb of the First Archdruid]]. Inside lay a giant skeleton on a stone bier and a doorway to [[the Feywild]]. The party went through the sorcerous gate with startling alacrity, ending up in the magical forest of [[the summer lands]]. Ka-Ess was again taken in by a hag, but after a brief and confused fight the Fishwives made their way to the Court of [[the River King]]. Ilabrar was taken on a detour by a familiar tree, but got a very fine set of clothes out of it.<br /> <br /> The party met several [[Fey lords and ladies]], who seemed to recognize or mistake some of them. A strange [[Visitor from the End of Time]] arrived and exchanged several gifts. The Fishwives returned to the material plane slightly before they arrived, though had the good sense to avoid a paradox.<br /> <br /> === Chapter Nine: The Ancient City of Lome ===<br /> <br /> After arriving in [[Lome]], the Fishwives attempted to determine who ordered the attack on the [[Marquis]] - but not before indulging in many civilized delights, including many hours of ancient [[Orcish Opera]] at the [[Loman Orcish Opera Company]], where [[Ka-Ess]] strove in vain to consummate a tryst with a burly Orcish contralto. Although they were eventually able to trace the attack to a [[hobgoblin]] mercenary company, the identity of the company's client remained unknown. However, using illusory magic, the adventurers successfully impersonated the leader of the mercenaries and were able to arrange a future meeting with the mysterious patron at [[The Wayward Lobster]] in Port Skaug. While still under the influence of the glamour, they also withdrew a large sum from the mercenaries' account at the [[Bank of Lome]] and stole a [[The Corpulent Queen|slaver merchantman]], two great financial coups that undoubtedly won them powerful enemies.<br /> <br /> === Chapter Ten: [[The Gnolls of the Burning Arrow]] ===<br /> <br /> === Chapter Eleven: [[Hell]] ===<br /> <br /> === Chapter Twelve: [[Gravenhollow]]===<br /> <br /> The Fishwives arrived at Gravenhollow, a magical library run by immortal [[giants]] in the [[Underdark]].<br /> <br /> [[Ka-Ess]] learned that the lizard-conqueror of his dreams was [[Yazkur-el]], who millennia prior threw off the tyranny of the matriarchs and united the Lizard and Serpent people and conquered the known world. Yazkur-el vanished mysteriously, though not before treating with the newly-arrived Elves and building temples and pyramids to his glory.<br /> <br /> [[Cheeky]] learned of the history of the [[Cat Lord]] and [[Tabaxi|her people]]. The Cat Lord led the Tabaxi to this plane from another (perhaps the [[Feywild]], though the records are unclear), to rescue them from some [[eldritch being of unfathomable power]]. To close the doorway and protect his people he traveled into the Shadowfell and challenged an otherworldly evil called the Twisted One to a ball game, wagering his life against [[the Twisted One’s eye.]] There is a lengthy account of the game, but suffice it to say that the Cat Lord won the eye, though barely escaped the wrath of the Twisted One. He used the eye to permanently close the doorway from which his people had come.<br /> <br /> [[Ilabrar]] learned that he was the descendant and heir of [[King Elashor the Ceremonious]], last monarch of the [[now-destroyed]] [[Kingdom of Nindrol]]. Elashor’s older brother [[Mourn the Oathbreaker]] went mad and the kingdom was further weakened by a decades-long civil war in which Elashor prevailed, though at a great cost. When the [[Sahuagin]] attacked, the kingdom fell. He further learned that he was a relation of [[the current empress]], and that Elashor had twin daughters who survived the destruction of the palace. <br /> <br /> [[Sathul]] had a vision of the [[dark orb]] being used to open a doorway between our plane and the Far Realms. He was suspiciously not disturbed by this.<br /> <br /> [[Ardrick]] discovered the location of his lost brothers, several of whom were in the city of [[Karne]].<br /> <br /> === Chapter Thirteen: The Wrath of [[Valraxaxath]] ===<br /> <br /> After troubling dreams and portents, the Fishwives emerged from the Underdark into the mountains to find the young dragon Cal and the cyclops Kronk engaged in a deadly battle against an adult black dragon, Valraxaxath. Kronk drove the foe off but at the cost of his life. <br /> <br /> The Fishwives took revenge, with Cheeky riding Cal into battle. After a terrible battle, the now-forever-insufferable Ka-Ess earned the sobriquet of Dragon-slayer after leaping on the back of the fleeing dragon and slaying it with his magical sword. <br /> <br /> Ardrick used the blessings of Kord to raise the slain Kronk from the dead. The newly risen giant was changed, now evincing an interest in religion and a heretofore unknown propensity for blacksmithing, despite the loss of his eye. Ardrick agreed to procure 1000 ingots of bronze for him.<br /> <br /> === Chapter Fourteen: The War Against [[Admiral Drax]] ===<br /> <br /> === Chapter Fifteen: The Voyage to the Ruined City of [[Nindrol]]===<br /> <br /> == Cross-Index: Location ==<br /> === Events in Port Skaug ===<br /> <br /> * [[The Solar Festival]]<br /> <br /> * [[The wild night at the Lobster]]<br /> <br /> === Events at Sea ===<br /> <br /> * The [[cutting out expedition]]<br /> <br /> === Events on Hag Island ===<br /> <br /> * The [[defeat of the Hag]]<br /> <br /> * The plundering of the [[Ancient Tomb]]<br /> *The defeat of [[Xipacna]]<br /> <br /> === Events Elsewhere ===</div>

<p>DM: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;b&gt;Port Drak&lt;/b&gt; was a [[Mictlani]] settlement and shipping hub founded by the dread [[Admiral Drax]] in the late [[Second Century Valanthe II Amastacia|second century Valanthe II]]. The town, located at the northern tip of Mictlan, the Isle of the Damned, was probably founded on a preexisting Mictlani encampment, although few records exist of the city before it came into the dread Admiral Drax's possession. The port relied heavily on slave labor, maintaining a large population of laborers captured by the dread Admiral Drax's slaver convoys.<br /> <br /> == Liberation by the Fishwives ==<br /> <br /> Port Drak was captured by [[The Fishwives]] in [[219 Valanthe II|219 V.II]], putting a decisive end to the [[Skaugodraxan Conflict]]. After capturing the dread Admiral Drax's flagship ''[[The --]]'' and putting him to [[Ardrick Blackstone|the hammer]], the Fishwives liberated the city's slaves and delivered it into their control. Henceforth, the city was known as Freeport. <br /> <br /> == Notable Citizens ==<br /> <br /> *The Dread Admiral Drax (d. 219 V.II)<br /> *[[Chun the Adaptable]]</div>

The hilt is carved from a giant pearl in the shape of a elven warrior woman with long, flowing hair. <br /> <br /> ===Lore===<br /> <br /> ===Mechanics===<br /> <br /> Telemnar has the finesse property (you can use Dex for attack rolls rather than Str). If you are proficient with shortswords or longswords, you are proficient with Telemnar.<br /> <br /> You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon, which deals radiant damage instead of slashing damage. When you hit an undead with it, that target takes an extra 1d8 radiant damage.<br /> <br /> The sword's luminous blade emits bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet. The light acts as sunlight. While the blade is drawn, you can use an action to expand or reduce its radius of bright and dim light by 5 feet each, to a maximum of 30 feet each or a minimum of 10 feet each.<br /> <br /> While holding the weapon, you can use an action to touch a creature with the blade and cast lesser restoration on that creature.

<p>DM: </p> <hr /> <div>A large obsidian step pyramid found in a clearing in the jungle on [[Hag Island]]. It appears to be carved from a single piece of stone. [[The Hag]] seemed to make her lair there, though she had sealed off the lower levels.<br /> <br /> Even after the hag was defeated, however, the pyramid remained a threat. It had some power that lured beings of great magical potency. Both [[The Obsidian Gentleman]] and [[The Dark Lady]] offered gifts for its ultimate disposition; the first merely said it would be &quot;off the board&quot; and the latter offered a magical flying ship.<br /> <br /> ==After the Expedition to Nindrol==<br /> <br /> When the Fishwives returned to Hag Island, the dragon [[Cal]] met them and instructed them to meet him at the pyramid. At sunset it changed to a massive blue stone tower in the shape of a crescent moon, which seemed to have some entrancing effect on [[Ka-ess]]. When [[the third moon]] reached its zenith, however, it turned into an unimaginably colossal statute of some ancient king, who filled most of the Fishwives with a sense of calm and a headache and [[Sathul]] with dread and unnatural vigor.</div>

<p>DM: </p> <hr /> <div>The Cat Lord was a deity venerated by the Tabaxi and other felinid races. He was neither good nor evil, but was solely with the welfare of cats. Something of a trickster, he was more active on the Material Plane than most other deities. <br /> [[File:Cat Lord.jpg|thumb]]<br /> <br /> ===Cheeky's Dream===<br /> <br /> [[Cheeky Patch]], a paladin of the Cat Lord, received the following vision:<br /> <br /> Cheeky knelt in meditation within a realm that transcends the boundaries of mortal comprehension. Here, hues waltz and intertwine, casting an iridescent tapestry of colors impossible to replicate in the world of men. Constellations, gleaming like radiant jewels, illuminate the vast expanse of this otherworldly realm, a place where stars themselves seem to breathe.<br /> <br /> Emerging from this astral masterpiece, there loomed a shadow—an abyssal maw, a yawning darkness that hungers insatiably. From this abyss emerged an entity, an eldritch nightmare of cosmic terror and primordial chaos. It represents an affront to the very laws that govern existence—a chaos made manifest.<br /> <br /> In this kaleidoscopic revelation, a feline figure, radiant and divine, emerged. It is the Cat Lord, an enigmatic deity among deities, who walks amidst the constellations, a twinkle in his celestial eye. His gaze upon Cheeky transcended mere sight; it was an acknowledgment of purpose.<br /> <br /> With the gentle wave of a paw, the Cat Lord conjured a vision of the world below, revealing the eldritch creature and its dark designs. The harmony of existence quivered in the wake of this cosmic malevolence.<br /> <br /> Cheeky sensed her divine charge, her sacred duty. She was chosen as the Claws of Fate, the guardian of existence, entrusted with the solemn task of defying the cosmic terror that lingers in the abyss.<br /> <br /> As the vision concluded, the Cat Lord's voice resonates through the very cosmos, &quot;Uphold the balance, Claws of Fate. In your courage rests the destiny of worlds.&quot;<br /> <br /> Cheeky awakened with a profound sense of calling, knowing that she has been chosen to stand against the cosmic peril, to defend the multiverse from the nameless horror lurking within the abyss.</div>

Dwelling in the heart of the Mycorian Nexus, Psilofyr's true form is obscured by the vast, luminescent mushroom caps that make up its being. Whispers of spore-laden secrets emanate from the Great Fungus, carrying both the gentle caress of nurturing growth and the ominous undertones of an impending decay.</div>
