Just a note to let everyone know that I've changed the title of this thread to better reflect its content. (That being the Lands of Harqual.) I've also filled in several old posts with some revised information. There are some updates on three cities:
- Cauldron City (post #102)

YOSYNTYA (THE DARK REBORN)
Symbol: A ring of blood-red swords embedded in the ground around a large central black sword on a field of red and black.
Purpose
The Yosyntya goals are to resurrect the fallen Dark Children, and to free Hiisi from captivity in Carceri. The Yosyntya work towards the first goal, before all others; work towards freeing the Lord of Darkness, second; and work towards anything else of interest, third.
Leaders: Caleb Oxenbrigg [NE human male, ex-Clr10/Disaffected10* (Vespin)]; Kaarlo Østerdal [LE male human, Ftr14]; Lazzaro Canis [CE male unholy scion, Clr16 (Angrboda)]; Raphael Korsten [LE male dragontouched, Mar18]; Theophilus Fen Arthin [CN male halfling (hairfoot), Clr14 (Yosyntya)]. *See pg. 30–31 of the d20 sourcebook Requiem for a God for details on this prestige class.
Infamous Members: Andras Ytterdal [NE female half-gnoll*, Elm8]; Buccanelos Smaniotto [CE male half-orc, Sor11]; Jukka Aasen [CE male half-ogre*, Rog6/Anti-paladin6]; Meggan Thuresby [NE female fire jovian*, Crusader9]; Usha Gascoigne [NE female human, Ftr10]. *A race from the d20 sourcebook Bastards & Bloodlines: A Guidebook to Half-Breeds.
Notable Activities
The Yosyntya roots are firmly attached to the Old Sword Lands of the Ragik Peninsula. Its traditional name comes from the language of the deities of the Finns, of which Hiisi is still a member even in his banished state. In the Old Sword Lands, the Yosyntya work tirelessly to protect the unholy places of the Dark Children from those who would reconsecrate them to other dark gods. Mussin, as the current leader of the Sword Gods, and his followers wish to wipe away the remnants of Angrboda and Hiisi's brood. This clash of religious doctrine has lead to a bloody feud between the Yosyntya and the followers of the remaining Sword Gods.
Note, however, that the Yosyntya, or the Dark Reborn as it is called beyond the Ragik Peninsula, isn’t considered a religious cult even though many of its members are followers of the teachings of Angrboda, Hiisi, and the Dark Children. It is more like an esoteric knighthood made up of the aimless, the disenchanted, and the roughshod of Harqual’s society. An individual group of the Dark Reborn works toward restoring a particular Dark Child to godhood, and it is usually led by powerful priests or unholy warriors.
The Dark Reborn believe that if they can free Hiisi from Carceri, then the Lord of Darkness will be able to restore the Dark Children to the world or spawn new Dark Children to take the place of the Fallen Ones. The latter is more likely, and most of the Dark Reborn would accept new Dark Children to worship. There is some friction in the group's ranks regarding this idea, and the Dark Reborn is often split between the more orthodox view of restoring the fallen Dark Children and the heretical idea of Hiisi spawning new Dark Children.
The members of Dark Reborn do not operate within a vacuum of their own zealousness, however. They realize that other organizations work towards the same goals or similar ones. The best example of this is the Black Cult of Hiisi, which wishes to free Hiisi from Carceri. While that is the cult's primary goal, they have been known to work with the Dark Reborn to accomplish other goals. However, the Black Cult has no interest in restoring the Dark Children to divinity, and its members would never presume to preach the idea that Hiisi will spawn new Dark Children to replace the Fallen Ones.
This very specific ideology keeps the Black Cult and the Dark Reborn from working more closely together. It also separates the Dark Reborn from the activities of the Cagewrights. The members of the Dark Reborn despise the Cagewrights, for the most part, and will not work with them unless the priests of the Black Cult insist that the three groups work together. However, the Black Cult rarely can influence the members of the Dark Reborn enough to accept the presence of Cagewrights. The Dark Reborn consider freeing anything else from Carceri, including exiled demon lords, to be counterproductive to their cause.
Campaign Notes
The Yosyntya has taken it upon itself to free the lands of the Kingdom of Ahamudia from the interlopers that illegally settled there after the Transformation. At least, that's how they see it. Since the Transformation the Kingdom of Ahamudia has become a driving force throughout the southern half of the Ragik Peninsula. The Ahamudians have allied themselves with the miners and demihumans of the Goldensoul Monarchy and the Mines of Morhan. They have also actively opposed the aggressive behaviors of the citizens of the Soreney Domain and the brigands of Toraa Bagul. The Ahamudians have even kept the armies of the Eulayan Territory at bay.
The Yosyntya consider the Ahamudians to be little better than dogs to be forced into submission. Many of the group's members have become freedom fighters on the northern side of the Rilous Mountains. They attack Ahamudians and their allies without hesitation or mercy. This protracted guerrilla war has been going on since the end of the Ahamudian-Imperium War. The end result of that war enrages the leaders of the Yosyntya. The most militant of these leaders in an ex-solider named Kaarlo Østerdal. He has personally lead dozens of missions against the citizens and soldiery of Ahamudia. He and his squad rarely take prisoners; they prefer to butcher everyone before fleeing back to Toraa Bagul.
The Yosyntya have a extreme hatred for the dwarves and gnomes of the Domain of Bitran. The organization works towards destroying the demihumans who have defiled the sacred lands of the Dark Children and the Lord of Darkness. The group's members have heard of the jackal-headed humanoids of Hutaalar, but they have yet to find a way past the Hutaakans considerable magical defenses. Their unique god, Vaflar, protects them from the assaults of the Dark Reborn. This has frustrated the Yosyntya to no end. The group's leaders are worried that they are losing ground to too many foes all at once. It is only a matter of time until they become even more militant.
Another place on the Ragik Peninsula where the Yosyntya are commonplace is the region known as the Land of the Miekka. This area is sacred to the worship of the Sword Gods and the Dark Children in particular. Miekka, also known as the Land of the Ziggurats is a matriarchal autocracy with strong ties to the worship of Angrboda and her brood. It is Miekka that the Yosyntya first came into existence, to protect the unholy lands of the Fallen Ones, shortly after the end of the Divinity War. Since Mussin's takeover of the Sword Gods, his priests have begun to systematically destroy all remnants of Hiisi's power-base and the legacy of his Dark Children. The Yosyntya rose up to face this coup and have never stopped fighting since. It is a strange thing to behold evil battling evil on the brutal stage that is Miekka.
The Yosyntya also fights to undo the changes currently happening in the Sword Protectorate. The Ahamudian-Imperium War, as short as it was, ended in the capital city of old heart of the Empire of Swords, and it ended with the death of the last Imperial Emperor. Now the capital city has been given a new name, Vapaa, and the region is controlled by military control by the combined forces of the Eight Cities Alliance. This alliance is a farce in the minds of the leaders of the Yosyntya; its member cities have no right to undo the traditions of darkness and evil that have sustained the Old Sword Lands for over a thousand years.
The Yosyntya is rarely encountered throughout the rest of the Lands of Harqual, and those that do have run-ins with its members only know them as the Dark Reborn. Beyond the Ragik Peninsula, the members of the Dark Reborn never use the group's traditional name. It's not a secret, but it is considered unwise to announce that name to the rest of the continent. The Dark Reborn are strongest throughout the western lands including the Eversinki Suzerainty, Jovian Alliance, Kingdom of Izmer, Principality of Shaule, and almost the entire Storm Peninsula. The group has become a problem along the Chara Coast as well. Its members are rarely encountered south of there or anywhere east of Pretensa.

RAPID RIDERS
Symbol: A brown horse on a white hill on a green field with a yellow sun rising in a blue sky.
Purpose
The organization known as the Rapid Riders is a group of young thrill-seekers and adventurers working as pony express riders throughout the Eastern Shores, Thunder Lands, and Wind Plains. They carry important messages for clients that don't trust magically means to communicate over long distances.
Leader: Hendrick “Helmet” Ricarsson [LN male human, Rgr13].
Famous Members: Colby Sherrard [LG male human, Sco6]; Gwynneth Wrangell [N female half-elf, Sor7]; Naviia Silversun [NG female elf (silver), Ftr6/Drd6 (Damh)]; Will ‘o the Wisp [CG ½m (hairfoot), Ftr4/Brd4]; Winnie Alger [NG ½f (hairfoot), Rog5/Exp5].
Notable Activities
Rapid Riders are highly independent of each other, yet they all report to Hendrick Ricarsson in the City of Stonn in the kingdom of the same name. The group use to operate out of the City of Fruen in the Kingdom of Thallin, but after King Varath came to power it became impossible for the Rapid Riders to work openly there. Now the riders work towards freeing the people of Thallin from the insanity of the Mad One and his minions. They work with such groups as the Fallow's Cross Adventurers to protect innocent citizens from the Fury of the Dragon and Nether's Deathtide.
Still, Rapid Riders make their living from couriering messages first and foremost. With tensions between city-states and kingdoms rising throughout the West the Rapid Riders have become more important. Secret messages to allies in remote areas have become as valuable as gold, and the riders sell their services based on the ability to 'get a message there fast and safe.' The group has outposts almost everywhere throughout the Eastern Shores, as well as in the Wind Cities. The group isn't as strong throughout the Thunder Lands, but it has made significant inroads in places like the Baronies of Calot and Liran, the Freeholds of the Strand, and the Free City of Yuln.
When not couriering messages Rapid Riders prefer to spend their time adventuring. The groups members are famous for delving into old ruins throughout the Wind River Region, and they've been known to trek into the moors of Caer Amylinyon in search of lost artifacts of the legendary gray elves. They have battled against the dark tribes of the Hather Plain and they have bartered and danced with the desert elves of the Great Expanse. A few of the group's braver members have even explored the edge of the Spirit Rift, but none have dared to enter that haunted place. They may be adventurers, but they're not crazy. Rapid Riders are always looking for new adventures to pass the time between jobs.
Campaign Notes
While Hendrick Ricarsson leads the Rapid Riders as a group, he doesn't control every aspect of the business. He relies heavily on both Will ‘o the Wisp (usually just called Will) and Winnie Alger to help coordinate the riders and handle personality conflicts. Hendrick is a natural leader, but sometimes he can be a little dense. (This is how he got his nickname.) Lately, he has disappeared for weeks at a time, and no one knows where he goes. Will believes that Hendrick is off searching for something important during these absences; he thinks that his friend is trying to find something that will help defeat King Varath.
Will spends most of his time, along with Winnie, fighting against oppression as members of the Thallinite Resistance in their homeland. They have become good friends with many of the members the Fallow's Cross Adventurers, and the two of them wish to merge the Rapid Riders with the FCA. However, Will knows that Hendrick will never agree to do that, and he is worried that Winnie will turn in her badge and join the FCA permanently. Will could never do this himself as he owes so much to Hendrick including his life on more than one occasion.
Naviia Silversun is another strong force in the group, and she is believed to be Hendrick's choice to lead the other riders should he retire. She loves the work and the freedoms it give her. However, she also believes the group should be more diligent against evil and work towards protecting the Great Forest. It is Naviia that spearheads the search for relics of the gray elves in and near Caer Amylinyon. She also opposes the corrupted blood elves of the Knotwood and spends a great deal of her time in the Barony of Calot, the Duchy of Minar, and the Midlands. Naviia personally recruited both Colby Sherrard and Gwynneth Wrangell into the Rapid Riders.
In the Duchy of Minar, Rapid Riders have become a vital cog in the protection of the region from bugbears, gnolls, and evils best left unmentioned. Duke Jace Brookwater relies heavily on them to courier messages back and forth from his subordinates and to the head of the Tiger Guild in the City of Tian. Rapid Riders rarely work directly with the members of the Tiger Guild, but they have been known to aid them when needed. The relationship is almost always one way as the members of the spy guild aren't known to be trusting of outsiders. Rapid Riders are more likely to be accepted as guests and allies at Tigerstorm Hall of the Companions, a group of adventurers affiliated with the Tiger Guild.

Another Sidetrek Adventure for the Lands of Harqual
Here is another adventure plot that I never got a chance to use. This adventure idea was what was to become the Bugbear War between the Duchy of Minar and the bugbears of the Sunus Mountains. (The Barony of Wolffire becomes in volved as well.)
The adventure is going to be broken up into several posts, but they will follow each other without interuption, unless someone else posts in-between my posts.
Note that this sidetrek is only an adventure outine at the most.
Details
In late 749 N.C., King Brulok led his tribe of bugbears out of the Sunus Mountains and began attacking the nearby communities of the Duchy of Minar. This action broke an uneasy peace between the citizens of Minar and the Sunus Bugbear Tribe. A peace, which had lasted for seven years, that came to an end when the bugbear king’s tribute wasn’t brought to him at the appropriate time.
This tribute was an awful tasting stew, which was prepared by an old transmuter named Rudwilla Grumb. Last year, the old witch was killed by a band of gnolls, which left no one to prepare the stew for Brulok. What isn’t generally known is that Brulok hired the gnolls to kill Grumb, so that he could declare war on Minar and let his battle hungry tribe raze the Duchy into nothingness.
The bugbears attacked the Town of Griffondale first, capturing it, and then easily conquered and destroyed the Village of Dalveston. However, before the bugbears could lay siege to the City of Tian, the Duchy’s militia was quickly mustered, forcing the bugbears to retreat back to Griffondale and fortify their position. The bugbears are determined to capture all of Minar and dug in, over the long, cold winter, content to wait for spring.
The Duchy’s militia quickly began fortifying a militia town on the crossroads between Griffondale, the ruins of Dalveston, and Tian. This new “town” has been named Wood Junction and has grown considerably with the arrival of hundreds of refugees from the rest of the Duchy. Tian’s population has fluctuated as the war drags on, as has the Village of Harnsall's near the Keep of Ewerwell. Griffondale is considered occupied. King Brulok has begun to recruit other evil humanoids including baklath, gnolls, and a few giants, as well as a “rogue” white dragon (LE).
Also, a band of 50 soldiers from the Kingdom of Thallin, sent by King Varath to cause strife in the region, surprised the citizens of the Village of Severton and now control that community with an iron fist. The soldiers (who call themselves Varath’s Irregulars) are under strict orders not to reveal their affiliation with Thallin. If their identities are discovered then Minar and the other members of the Lake Nest Treaty will have the leverage needed to declare war on Thallin in order to depose King Varath.
Not all the news from Minar is bad, however. The militia has recovered from its initial losses and a force from the Barony of Wolffire now holds the mountain pass between Minar and Wolffire. Fierce fighting between the remaining goblinoids in the Sunus Mountains and the soldiers of Wolffire means that King Brulok isn’t likely to receive any help from within the mountain range for some time, if ever. Minar City is relatively secure as is Stulgar Castle and the communities in the northern half of the Duchy. Several elven ranger patrols from the Town of Forestholm have begun to make life difficult for Varath’s Irregulars, and the few gnoll bands that have wandered north looking for raiding opportunities.
Tian, Wood Junction, and Harnsall are hard pressed, but Minar City cannot spare any more soldiers without risking the capital. The soldiers of Stulgar Castle have their hands full with Varath’s Irregulars. There is a large force on its way to the region from Falcûne, the capital of Wolffire as the Lord Baron has officially promised aid to Minar. However, the terrain is difficult and the denizens of the Sunus Mountains have already attacked the force en masse. The army lost half of its soldiers and is in risk of having to turn around. The Temple of Inanna in Caloric has sent a small force of soldiers (30) towards the Duchy of Minar in order to learn more about what’s going on there. They are roughly half way to Tian if/when the PCs catch up to them.

The bugbears are determined to capture all of Minar and dug in, over the long, cold winter, content to wait for spring.
The Duchy’s militia quickly began fortifying a militia town on the crossroads between Griffondale, the ruins of Dalveston, and Tian. This new “town” has been named Wood Junction and has grown considerably with the arrival of hundreds of refugees from the rest of the Duchy. Tian’s population has fluctuated as the war drags on, as has the Village of Harnsall's near the Keep of Ewerwell. Griffondale is considered occupied. King Brulok has begun to recruit other evil humanoids including baklath, gnolls, and a few giants, as well as a “rogue” white dragon (LE).
Also, a band of 50 soldiers from the Kingdom of Thallin, sent by King Varath to cause strife in the region, surprised the citizens of the Village of Severton and now control that community with an iron fist. The soldiers (who call themselves Varath’s Irregulars) are under strict orders not to reveal their affiliation with Thallin. If their identities are discovered then Minar and the other members of the Lake Nest Treaty will have the leverage needed to declare war on Thallin in order to depose King Varath.
Not all the news from Minar is bad, however. The militia has recovered from its initial losses and a force from the Barony of Wolffire now holds the mountain pass between Minar and Wolffire. Fierce fighting between the remaining goblinoids in the Sunus Mountains and the soldiers of Wolffire means that King Brulok isn’t likely to receive any help from within the mountain range for some time, if ever. Minar City is relatively secure as is Stulgar Castle and the communities in the northern half of the Duchy. Several elven ranger patrols from the Town of Forestholm have begun to make life difficult for Varath’s Irregulars, and the few gnoll bands that have wandered north looking for raiding opportunities.
Tian, Wood Junction, and Harnsall are hard pressed, but Minar City cannot spare any more soldiers without risking the capital. The soldiers of Stulgar Castle have their hands full with Varath’s Irregulars. There is a large force on its way to the region from Falcûne, the capital of Wolffire as the Lord Baron has officially promised aid to Minar. However, the terrain is difficult and the denizens of the Sunus Mountains have already attacked the force en masse. The army lost half of its soldiers and is in risk of having to turn around. The Temple of Inanna in Caloric has sent a small force of soldiers (30) towards the Duchy of Minar in order to learn more about what’s going on there. They are roughly half way to Tian if/when the PCs catch up to them.
