Phonix has some of the most fertile farming and gardening soil in the Continent, second only to Dramavia. In addition, many healers leave the kingdom to benefit the others with their capabilities, respectively.Deity: Taras, Revan (although neither god is -officially- recognized, both have many worshippers in the area of Phonix. The clerical population do well in serving the religious in Phonix, even though church and state are separate in that kingdom)Primary artifact: The Eye of the Heart[sblock]Wis +4, +5 to Will saves, allows one to detect the thoughts and motives of a living creature at will. Unwilling creatures get a Will save at DC 20 to negate the effect of the Eye.Spell-like abilities: At will: Deathwatch (not evil when used by this), Status, Detect Thoughts4/day: Libra, Detect Alignment1/day: Greater Libra, True Seeing1/week: Discern LocationStrongly holy.Evil creatures gain 1 negative level as long as they wear it (curable only by removal), and they immediately see themselves for the evil and horror they are.

He left his right-hand man, Bishop Harrold, to hold it fast by reanimating the fallen bodies of its former guardians as undead. Ruuk and his men moved to the north of Phonix and claimed it by force, leading to a civil war between the North and the South of the kingdom. The war lasted five years before an adventuring party from Sherbet drafted into the Southern army, and successfully cleansed the castle of of both Ruuk's forces and Harrold's undead. The North surrendered unconditionally when a couple of rogues from the south infiltrated the Northern Hall, successfully assassinated General Ruuk in his sleep, and aided in slaying the red dragon the North sent as its last attack.[/sblock]</blockquote>
