[QUOTE="Myth and Legend, post: 4911333, member: 82679"] [B]Common knowledge[/B] (DC0) The world is called Danu (reference: Celtic goddess of the rivers, earthmother. Equivalent to the Greek Gaia and Egyptian Geb). The action takes place on the world's largest continent, similar to Faerun. There are four Human kingdoms that take most of the fertile land, their borders divided by the great River of Life, that runs North-West to South-East. There are mountains, forests, a tundra like wasteland to the far North, humid swamplands that slowly give way to a vast desert to the South, an ocean to the West and forsets and mountain ranges to the East. The Human kingdom that the story takes place in, is called Muirlane. It is ruled by a High King, and each province is governed by a Baron. There are two Dukes that rule over several provinces and their respective barons. Since it's the second largest kingdom, and the one with the most fertile farmlands, Muirlane is rich and powerful. [B]Muirlane:[/B] [B]Population:[/B] above 1,000,000 (specific numbers require you to ask a Preist of Oghma or someone from court) [B]Capital city:[/B] Targellis [B]Ruler:[/B] King Syradin IV [B]Angelwatch: [/B] [B]Population: ~60,000[/B] Human: 87% Dwarven: 7.6% Elven: 2.3% Halfling: 2.1% Other: 1% Angelwatch is situated in the central regions of the continent (and the Kingdom), in a forested region where the land is riddled with hills, as it is at the feet of a wide mountain range to the north-west. In that mountain range, there lies the Valley, some ten miles from Angelwatch's walls. The town is relatively small, but busy, as it is a trading hub and virtually a crossroads for all the major routes that go trough Muirlane. There is a strong Dwarven minority, mostly traders, selling steel, coal, prescious stones and items froged deep in their underground cities. The Dwarves have a street with shops and stalls, called Steel Lane. (Map to come once i switch flats, i promise) Angelwatch is interesting at first, as the city is narrow but long, and most of the houses are made of stone or brick, and nested one above the other on the steep slopes that make up the lanshaft. There are some good inns and taverns, there's a stone fort in the East end of town and there are various craftsmen and traders that have set up shop on the trade streets. Once one stays there for long, it becomes apparent that there is not much to do in Angelwatch, as the citizens are peaceful and used to strangers, and Lord James Balar keeps the order tight with his sworn swords and the town guard. The Temple of Lathander, a tall Cathedral with many stained glass windows, dominates the structures around it, being almost as intimidating as Lord's fortress. There is also a monastery of Illmater in the nearby mountanside, and various other smaller shrines and Temples (some dedicated to Evil deities) [B]Notable NPCs:[/B] [B]Baron James Balar[/B] - the ruler of Angelwatch and it's surrounding countryside, he pays homage to Duke Rutten and of course King Syradin IV. [B]Captain Rickard Stutley[/B] - Captian of the town guard, which is a military organization that is under the control of the Lord but not under his direct influence (unlike his personal sworn swords). [B]Dawnbringer Ferviel[/B] - High Priest of the Temple of Lathander in Angelwatch. [B] Jared Stonesmasher[/B] - Head of the Trader's Guild, has a large and profitable business that has to do with all manner of Dwarven crafted goods.

His voice is deep and convincing, and his manners are that of a noble born man. [B]NPCs the group has met: Jill:[/B] An eight year old girl, with messy brown hair, hazel eyes and a skinny body.
