Creative Exercise: The Sovereign Dominion of Eyros

Oh, and that brings up another good question: Do we want the very secret information for DM's only to be on Wikipedia, and thus easily findable for enterprising PCs?

Edit: Fixed Ark's changes in the compilation

Umm...I dunno. I think it is. Better ask Mouse before doing anything. I would think this is public domain (being in a public forum), but the polished PDF version would not be.

Well, it's actually a violation of wikipedia policy (it's not encyclopedic), but I found another free wiki site to put it on. Back to wikipedia to vote for the page's deletion!

Its encyclopedic, just fake! That said, I was surprised that it was allowed on Wikipedia. Makes sense that it shouldn't be.

I have to go to bed, but I'll set up the other wiki after my midterm tomorrow.
 

Wiki!

By go to bed, I meant not go to bed, and by "after my midterm tomorrow," I meant "right now."

Everyone should edit the contributor page to add their name; if you don't want to add your real name, you're under no obligation to do so.

Oh, it's kind of messy right now, but I'll clean it up tomorrow. Right now it is just cut-and-paste out of the compilation.

Seen a problem with house mulcibe. Their hair is explained to be a sign of their firre heritage but they themselves don´t know of this. In the family gods section it is said that they retell stories of the divinity of Mulcibias husband. Doesn´t it contradict as the house would explain their red hair by this divine heritage even if people don´t know that it was really from the firre? As it stands now, they have no clue and people joke about them to have slept with eyrian zombies and the house themself doesn´t offer one explnation.

We have two different names for the capital volcano Xarx and Xark. Xarx seems to be the original name but got changed somewhere.

Contribution:
The lost house of Garren:
The lost house of Garren controlled most of the coastal waters near Ghalfaen, Malarn-ka and some inner territories as their lands were spread out all over Eyros. Malarn-ka was named Garran-ka at this time and was the houses seat of power. Garren controlled most of the sea trade and the position of Grand Admiral of the Navy was traditionally held by members of house Garren. The other pillars were envious of the house´s wealth. After the spectacular defeat at the battle of New Haven, the house fell on hard times, as they lost much of their revenue to halfling pirates and beared the shame of losing to mere halflings. Much of their resources afterwards were to develop better ocean going vessels, superior to the galley who could only stay near the coastline safely. As the empire itself pretty much abandoned the navy after the defeat, house Garren was the only house that invested in naval affairs. This put a big strain on the house´s treasury.

During the war, house Garren destroyed the former city of Malarn-ka utterly and put the whole population to the sword and salted the fields. Some poeple claim that the house made a pact with Cururultar, who granted them aid in exchange for the massacre.
The house got annihilated by house malarn and their allies for this atrocity.
After the war, the new house didn´t want to have any connection to the old house and kept their branch name of Taljik. Garran-ka was given over to house Malarn as compensation for the lost city. Some other holdings of house Garren were distributed among the other houses, Taljik got some new territories to form a coherent province instead of the diestributed holdings their predecessors had. The most precious jewel of Garren land was the city of Mhur. As the houses were unable to agree, Agathinon decreed that Mhur was to be a free city, only answerable to the emperor.

A Dwarf view of Religion and Creation

"Religion is the folly of weak minds" Duroghar growled his eyes blaizing white with power. The dwarf was bald and his face marked with ritual tatoo confirming his status as an Elder of the Jagged Eye "it is a deception designed to keep They-who-are-deceived blind to the Truth of this world.

"The Jagged Eye teaches us to see the Unity of Mind and Spirit. The physical world is a deception wrought by the demon Taufenacht and into which weak minds are bound. In the beginning Mind and Spirit were one and all things were unified and without limitations. As Eons past the Four Seasons took form and in each their were minds distinct and yet unified and we were there amongst them

The greatest of minds took form becoming th First Ones and Taufenacht was amongst their number as were Maia and those which are called Dragons. It was Taufenacht who made the first bid for power, deceiving us all and imposing limitations as he created the deception which is this world.

It is through mastery of Mind and Soul that we transcend the limitations of Taufenachts deception and return to our original nature. Taufenacht can not abide this and so They-who-are-decieved, the orcs and humans and all others condemn us and cast us low. But not for long for soon we shall be Unified..."
 

ps I believe the volcano was originally Mt Xark, it was my mistake to call it Xarx

as to Mulchibe claiming a devine ancestor it could be that in the past others have nott beleive the claim and have mocked them for it, thus Mulchibia's divine husband is only mentioned amongst members of the house (and not in public)
 

That's impressive, Abisashi. Already bookmarked it. :)

Regarding public domain... I'm honestly not sure how the law works, outside of the OGL/D20L. I imagine that this is at least somewhat public, simply by virtue of being on a public forum, but let's not do anything to make it more so. (In fact, once the PDF is fully written and ready for publication, we may need to think about asking Morrus to delete this thread. I'll look into that as we get closer.)

One final note. My wife is on spring break this week, and our 8th anniversary was last week, so we're leaving town for a couple of days. Not too long; I'll be back Wednesday evening. But I wanted to let you know that I'll be out of touch until then, so if anyone e-mails me or leaves me a note on this thread (comments, problems, questions, whatever), don't think I'm ignoring you if I don't get back to you until then.
