THE WORLD OF HYDELLOR

The Empire of Arideen was a blessed land. Ruled by the god-kings of Arideen, avatars of Paladine, they knew peace and prosperity.

And then god was murdered.

Drought and famine followed, and previously unseen social pressures fractured the empire into civil war for nearly thirty years. Prophets preaching new gods appeared. The Mists that defined the edge of the known world receded, revealing an entirely unknown continent across the sea. Was this the end of the world?

Exhausted by war, three new nations emerged from the wreck of the empire. Each suspicious of the other, they have maintained a watchful wariness for nearly 30 years. In central Hydellor, the disparate city-states of the Nyos savannah protect the Dragon Road from nomadic barbarian raiders. To the north, the sultanates of the Elemental Wastes threaten the sea routes to the east where the Great Khans of the Dragon Empires jealously guard their hoards and territories.

In the last decade there have been bumper crops. Clerics and paladins of the Church have felt a trickle of power return and seers have seen visions. Has Paladine returned? Where could he be? Inquisitors have been sent out to scour the lands of the Empire for him.

The world is ripe for heroes to carve out their place in the world.


[sblock=THE LAND]

Arideen: This western continent's major feature is Lake Tasalda, a massive crater lake dominating the center of the continent. Once dominated by the Arideen Empire, it is now broken into three hostile nations governed by a wary peace.

Arideen: LG/NG. The former core of the Arideen Empire, it is a landlocked nation dominated by high mountain peaks and settled valleys rich in lumber and minerals. It is ruled by a theocratic government of the Church of Paladine. Mountain dwarves and high elves maintain independent, but allied, kingdoms within the boundaries of the Empire. Arideen has the smallest population of the new nations, but the best trained army.

Forest of Irine: High Elven kingdom allied with Arideen.

Chooris Jungles:

Cold Wastes:

Essess: CG/CN. Essess is a wide, flat land of grasslands and farms and bordered by the Cold Woods in the south. It produces primarily agricultural products and lumber. Wide open spaces means its large population is considerably spread out, giving it the lowest population density of the nations, governed by a fractious republic. It has a small professional army, but can field a large, if lesser trained, citizen army if needed.

Gilead: LG/CG. A small island duchy off the coast of Helveki, the land remained loyal to the Empire during the war. It has natural resources to support itself independently and is the leading shipbuilder in the former empire, with a small, but strong, navy.

Helveki: LE/LN. Helveki is a narrow strip of coastal, arable land tucked between the ocean and forested mountains, densely populated with cities on the coast. It is rich in natural resources like lumber, minerals, and fishing, but grows more cash crops like wine, olives, and dates than staples like wheat, corn, or rice. The government is an autocratic monarchy ruled by a queen. It is the wealthiest nation. It has the largest and best navy, and its army is the largest, but is made up mostly of monstrous mercenaries.

Ingha Swamps: Massive wetlands in the west. A frontier land populated by wood elves, lightfoot halflings, humans, and monstrous humanoids pushed to the edges of civilization.

Freeport: Freeport is a large, sprawling port city built on a series of islands just off the coast of the Ingha Swamp. Some of it sprawls onto the coast and into the swamp, as well. It's a fairl uh lawless town, where justice typically goes to the one with the most coin. A wide mix of humans of various ethnicities and other races dwell here, many that don't fit well in normal society, like half-orcs or monstrous races. A semblance of order is kept by the Captains. These are merchant-pirates who have accumulated enough money, power, and influence to set themselves up as kingpins. Each captain has a territory in the city which he or she is responsible for maintaining, but also reaping the benefits of "owning", getting a portion of all crime and trade occurring in his territory. Territory squabbling occurs between tje captains, but outright gang war is forbidden without approval from the Captain's Moot, a council of all the captains. An Imperial enclave exists on the north side of the city. It is the most lawful place in Freeport. It is the home port of the small Imperial Navy. It's governor has a vote in the Captain's Moot, but little influence outside the enclave.

Lake Tasalda: Massive volcanic crater lake in the center of the continent, dotted with small islands.

The Academy: Founded as a wizard’s school, it has grown to encompass all the disciplines, to include a College of War, College of the Divine, College of the Arcane, College of Nature, and College of Bards. It is the premier institute of education in Arideen and has a strict policy of neutrality between the feuding nations, as the best students and faculty come here. If you nobility, wealthy, or talented and can find a patron, this is where you go to school. The Academy was the key broker of the peace agreement that ended the war, which enhanced its international status.

Misthaven: CG/CN. The last land before the Mists. Ruled by a local governor, it is ostensibly still loyal to the Empire, but it maintained neutrality during the civil war and is essentially independent and a bit isolationist. It found its population swelled by refugees during the war.

Moruntina: When the Mists receded, a previously unknown continent was discovered far beyond the sea. Little is known of this strange new land beyond some coastal mapping.

Vesraywor: This massive, sprawling continent abuts the Endnysi Mountains of Arideen and extends far to the east and north.

Dragon Empires:

Elemental Wastes:

Nyos: A sprawling land of steppe in the south and savannah in the north that stretches from Arideen to the Dragon Empires in the far east. Spotted with occasional city-states, it is dominated by nomadic tribes of stout halflings, Old Ones, Chadans, Zhytians, and other races. The western end near Arideen has settlements of Old Ones pushed out of the mountains with the arrival of the Prophet Arideen centuries ago, as well as more recent settlers from the Empire under nominal protection of Arideen.

Mindra the Nightflower

Mindra grew up in a small community of farmers and artisans South of Irine. Not content to a life of farming or crafting Mindra joined her brother in exploring the woods surrounding their home. When her family started to pressure her to settle down, find a trade and get married like her brother, Mindra instead decided to sign up with a trade caravan heading South as a scout.

This turned out to be a bit of a rash decision. Although Mindra had a bit of coin when she arrived, it didn’t last long in the capital city of Essess. She met a human girl named Lea who convinced Mindra to join her in a “job” to make a little money. Several years later and the pair had become rather successful burglars, gathering quite a bit of money and staying one step ahead of the law.

Despite taking great care on jobs to stay out of trouble Mindra let slip details about their next job when they were among “friends” at a tavern. One of those friends, a Dwarf named Borgun, gathered some thugs and met Mindra and Lea as they were leaving the job. Mindra managed to escape, but Lea wasn’t so lucky.

Now on her own Mindra managed to escape the city by calling in a favor from Tanlin Springmantle. A Gnome merchant who is well connected in the underworld, Tanlin also frequently acted as a fence for Mindra and Lea’s stolen goods. Outside the city Mindra convinced an Elven ranger named Del Nymphstalker to let her sign on as an apprentice.

Del was contracted by the city to patrol the surrounding wilderness and Mindra was happy to be back in the natural world after her bad experience with city life. During their travels Mindra became quite infatuated with Del, but he always treated her more like a little sister. It turns out that Del earned his moniker because of an encounter with a nymph when he was younger. He was so affected by it that he still hopes to recapture the experience. Mere mortal women do not interest him.

After his contract was up Del prepared for a journey to investigate the rumor of a “woodland lady” to the south. Mindra would have no part of such a foolish quest and let Del know in no uncertain terms. The two parted company, but despite the disagreement they still have a strong fondness for each other and would come to the others aid if they heard the other was in trouble.

Mindra now once again finds herself looking for some companions that can watch her back and maybe make a coin or two.

[sblock=Background]
Background
Garret was born into the Quicktalon tribe, and was raised on the move. He fought for his tribe when necessary, but didn't enjoy conflict as much as the others.
Due to his dislike of conflict, he found himself often assigned to tending for the raptors, though he still killed for his tribe in many battles. On one particular day, while a number of his tribe's fiercest warriors were raiding an Old One village, his own settlement was attacked by a collection of other tribes, led by Oston Bloodscythe, a ruthless warlord. They slaughtered his tribe, and he fled on one of the raptors he tended. He was chased by some of the raiders, and after a long night of constant pursuit his raptor collapsed from exhaustion.
He was found and beaten to within an inch of his life by his attackers, but they stopped to taunt him with stories of how they murdered his tribe. Garret flew into a rage for the first time ever, and slaughtered the three halflings and their mounts, pausing only to cut a talon off his faithful mount to keep as a memento, before fleeing on foot.
He decided that he didn't want to spend his life fighting, and so he tried to find somewhere that would accept him. He was turned away from every city he found, until he heard of Freeport, where supposedly everyone was accepted.
When he reached Freeport, he found himself accepted, but only if he worked as an enforcer under the command of the half-orc, Captain Blackcloak. He used his history as a barbarian to intimidate and, as time progressed, he began to be trusted with more important jobs, such as breking into warehouses or stealing from particular targets. In these jobs, he was assisted by a rogueish human called Cale Morin, and over the course of the two years Garret worked for Blackcloak, they became inseperable friends. Cale was the brains and the face of their work, with Garret providing the muscle when things inevitably went wrong. It was a partnership that worked very well.
However, a few weeks ago, Captain Blackcloack decided that there was a job that Cale could only do alone: the infiltration of a rival organisation. As a result, Garret was given his own assignment; A friend of the Captain's in Essess needed help with something, and Garret was the halfling for the job.

Friend: Cale Morin, a human rogue who had been Garret's partner for most of two years.
Contact: Captain Blackcloak, Garret's boss and half-orc leader of a gang in Freeport
Enemy: Oston Bloodscythe, the stout halfling who led a small coallition of tribes in the raid on Garret's village.
Trinket: A tiny cage with no door. Cale bought Garret this trinket as a memento, due to Garret's insistence on sticking to his tribe's code of honour, despite the fact that no one would know if he didn't stick with it. It represents the fact that Garret voluntarily cages himself, even though he could leave at any time.

Appearance
Garret is of above average height for a halfling, with light brown hair, and blue paint depicting packs of raptors, their figures distorted and intertwining over nearly every inch of his body. He wears the traditional garb of his tribe, i.e. loincloth and furs.

Outlander
Feature: Wanderer
You have an excellent memory for maps and geography, and you can always recall the general layout of terrain, settlements, and other features around you. In addition, you can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five other people each day, provided that the land offers berries, small game, water, and so forth.
Origin: Tribal marauder
Trait: I watch over my friends as if they were a litter of newborn pups.
Trait: I place no stock in wealthy or well-mannered folk. Money and manners won't save you from a rampaging raptor.
Ideal: Honor. If I dishonor myself, I dishonor my tribe. (Lawful)
Bond: I am the last of my tribe, and it is up to me to ensure their names enter legends.
Flaw: I hold myself back due to my regrets over my past.

Personal Characteristics
Description:

Hermit
Feature: Discovery
The quiet seclusion of your extended hermitage gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your seclusion. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who or consigned you to exile, and hence the reason for your return to society.

Trait: I often get lost in my own thoughts and contemplations, becoming oblivious to my surroundings.

Trait: I am working on a grand philosophical theory and love sharing my ideas.

Ideal: Self Knowledge: If you know yourself, there's nothing left to know.

Bond: Should my discovery come to light, it could bring ruin to the world.

Flaw: I like keeping secrets and won't share them with anyone.

Contact: Brother Loren, a priest in the Church of Paladin, and who mentored me in my youth, and oversaw my seclusion at the monastery.

Foe: My brother, Kael, who is a Fallen Aasimar, and with whom I have had a rivalry that has lasted my whole life. This rivalry recently turned deadly.

Friend: Faria, a young woman who lived at the monastery I secluded myself to. We developed a friendship while I was there, until her family called her back from the monastery a while ago. I have not seen her since.[/sblock]

Character Sheet

Haldor

Haldor remembers the beginning of the reign of Arideen III, 400 years ago. Yet, he is only 72 years old, a young adult in dwarf years. He had been a noble among the dwarves, one of the younges in his family, and destined for a small lot in life. He ended up working the caves that mined the metal the Explorer used to equip and settle new lands. Haldor does not like to speak about why a noble such as he would do such dirty work, however. What he does have great interest in telling is how one day, when he dug a bit too deep, he stumbled across a glowing red ruby the size of his fist. Suddenly, a cave-in trapped him and almost crushed him. He grabbed the ruby, and that was the last thing he remembers from 400 years ago.

Next thing Haldor knew, he was being woken up by an unfamiliar miner. The ruby was gone, but he could tell it had somehow absorbed into his skin and protected him from the cave-in by placing him in a magical hibernation. In addition, he found that he could now control and manipulate fire. Now with no ties to the world, he has set out to find an explanation for what the ruby is, and to experience a world he would have never been able to see as a dwarf noble.

Haldor became good friends with Andric, the human miner who found him, in the fortnight while Haldor stayed with him after being unearthed. Andric taught him as much as he could about current affairs, but Haldor wanted to see it for himself. Andric had to stay with his wife, children, and job. He also became acquainted with the overseer for the mine, a gruff dwarf named Dagnal. She didn't take kindly to her workers finding people instead of gold, but she offered Haldor a job if he needed one. In his first week of traveling alone, Haldor made an enemy of a noble he crossed paths with. Haldor, not knowing that he was dealing with a noble and not being used to holding his tongue because of his own noble heritage, responded to the noble's command to get out of his way with a sharp retort, earning a kick from the guards and a grudge from a wealthy man. He didn't get the noble's name, but he would recognize his insignia: a silver skull. He carries a trinket he grabbed from the guard in their tussle as a reminder to stay clear of that house.

Haldor now arrives in Bredon, making his way towards the Sawtooth Inn. Perhaps the old crone who gave him the note knows something about the ruby? There is only one way to find out.

[sblock=Character Sheet]I chose the draconic bloodline to get abilities relating to fire, but the actual source of the ruby's magic is up to the DM.

Spell Attack Modifier +4

(Cantrip)[sblock=Control Flames]1 action, 60 feet, S components, instantaneous or 1 hour (see below); You choose nonmagical flame that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You affect it in one of the following ways: - You instantaneously expand the flame 5 feet in one direction, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location; - You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube; - You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame, change its color, or both. The change lasts for 1 hour; - You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an inanimate object, or a location—to appear within the flames and animate as you like. The shapes last for 1 hour. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.[/sblock](Cantrip)[sblock=Create Bonfire]1 action, 60 feet, V+S components, concentration up to 1 minute; You create a bonfire on ground you can see within range. Until the spell ends, the bonfire fills a 5-foot cube. Any creature in the bonfire’s space when you cast the spell must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 fire damage. A creature must also make the saving throw when it enters the bonfire’s space for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there. The spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).[/sblock](Cantrip)[sblock=Fire Bolt]1 action, 120 feet, V+S components, instantaneous; You hurl a mote of fire at a creature or object within range.

Until the spell ends, the object sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. The light can be colored as you like. Completely covering the object with something opaque blocks the light. The spell ends if you cast it again or dismiss it as an action. If you target an object held or worn by a hostile creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to avoid the spell.[/sblock](1st-level)[sblock=Burning Hands]1 action, self (15-foot cone), V+S components, instantaneous; As you hold your hands with thumbs touching and fingers spread, a thin sheet of flames shoots forth from your outstretched fingertips. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried. At Higher Levels.
