Fragments, Legends & Myths

Dwarves

Harsieth

Myth: It is believed that Isi'us originally created nine different Harsieth castes (not including the Nenem). It is uknown today what or where the two lost castes are.

Humans

Legend: The regions Steil’ven and Ter’min were named after their founding fathers Steil (the older brother) and Ter, two brothers that took opposing sides during the Holy War. It is said that the two even faced off in a duel where Steil nearly stabbed his younger brother Ter through the heart only to change his mind at the final moment and turn his back to Ter. Ter swore his revenge as he fled “in life, or death I shall find you and we will finish this my 'devoted' brother!”

Steil'ven/Ter'rim: 12 years ago the joint tomb of the brothers Steil and Ter were discovered. Within the tomb rested the two brothers laying side by side, their hands clasped to one another’s and a rolled parchment cupped in their final gesture.
It was proof that the two brothers had reconciled in the final days of Steil’s life. Water marks, believed to be tears were apparent on the parchment as Ter shared his regret of all the lost time between them.
In the parchment, Ter apologizes for his actions and declares his final wishes to be buried by his brother's side and how the pain and nightmares of his last few years haunted him so much that he could not bear to live any longer. Ter took his own life.
With this new information brought to light and some debate over its validity, a truce and end to the conflict between the two brother regions was called. Both sides rejoiced as all were tired of the fighting and warring over reasons they had long forgotten.
Unfortunately due to such long lived tensions between the two nations it is not uncommon to see prejudice towards those of the “opposite faction”. In Steil’ven it is still common to hear jokes or insults based off the Ter’rim people and in Ter’rim targetting the Steil'ven is common. Even border skirmishes still continue to happen from time to time.

The Lagaia Story

Fri, 7 Sep 2007 18:10:00 UTC

The Lagaia Story — By Mgal

Current Day; a Prologue:
Filled with melancholy, the widow sits staring out a silver trimmed window. Outside, the world felt motionless despite the scene. Wisps of smoke reached up towards the sky, ashes fill the air thick like a warm woolen blanket obscuring the star filled sky.
Her eyes wandered downwards and gazed upon the destruction, where once statuesque buildings of stone and marble, proud and tall, sparkling with the smallest glimmer of light, now stood nothing but rubble and ruin. Small fires dotting the cobbled streets paving it with red and golden hues extending out into the distant hillsides where the fire’s fury rampaged unmercifully on every blade of grass, twig and leaf it touched.
“How beautiful it all once was,” she sighs. “How beautiful, but no more…” Her last breath quiver as her eyes closed for the final time. Sh’Ahara is dead. A slight breeze parts the obscure-ment and for just a moment the moonlight flickers in, bouncing off the silver window trim and reflecting against the almost frail blade in the woman’s back.
“I’m back, mother…” the coarse voice crackles like fire in the pitch black room.
No one believed the utopia could ever end, after so many centuries of peace and near immortality of the Lagaian society, Lagaian way and even the Lagaian people. The greatest failing of the greatest leader in the history of Lagaian history was no more than giving life to his, very own, son.

The History:
“Wonderful news your majesty, it’s a healthy baby boy!” The midwife exclaims while restraining her volume. Latching the heavy double doors behind her, “Lady Te’lann will be out shortly with baby Me’Neius. M’lady Sh’Ahara is fine but quite exhausted. She’ll be ready to see you once she gets some rest.”
His face fills with joy, excitement and relief all simultaneously. “Thank you Midwife Ahna,” he replies.
Great celebrations erupt throughout Lagaia as the highly anticipated news of King Qi’Phori and Queen Sh’Ahara’s new child reach the nation’s ears and hearts.
Terra, Aquari, Uraris, and Korthusa, the four elemental draconic bodyguards to the royal family, were only too diligent in their task to protect the royal family through what seemed the most joyful of occasions for Lagaia as all four knew quite well that even in the nation of the most content there is always someone in disagreement.
…But little did the four know that the seed of malcontent would be sown amongst that which they swore to protect.

Born of Lagaian royal blood, son of the Just King Qi’Phori and Fair Queen Sh’Ahara, Telphe’us, 40 years of age at the time of his brother’s birth, continued to age into bitter discontent while younger brother Me’Neius was seen as nothing more than a rival and threat in this jealous boy’s eyes.

While Telphe’us dodged his lessons, Me’Neius stayed ever studious.
While Telphe’us abused his privilege and was never satisfied by the work of those around him, Me’Neius sought to assist the workers and learn each task himself ever happy to complete even his brother’s chores.
Telphe’us had grown sick in the mind, dark and sinister and no teachings, no medicine could cure what ailed him.
While Telphe’us grew to be the very model of what was bad in the world full of deviance, self loathing, anger and jealousy. Me’Neius grew full with virtue, kindness, heart and courage.
Qi’Phori and Sh’Ahara did all that they could to calm the darkness within Telphe’us, breeding and grooming him for his time in leadership. Telphe’us was beyond their help.

The day came, after 600 years that Qi’Phori had to name a successor to his throne. Me’Neius.
Furious at the decision Telphe’us withdrew to his chambers, brooding and planning in the dark room with only a single candle to light his plans. Telphe’us was not without his following and he intended to use all leverage he had to take his place on the throne as was his birthright.

To be continued...

Places of Interest

Below is a list of places that may be of interest to players and/or may play important roles in the campaign(s) run within the world. This list will expand as the campaign(s) progress(es).

• Isles of Ancestry – A chain of islands northeast of the Doraen continent.
It is spoken in childhood stories, myths and legends that the isles of ancestry were once a part of the continent of Doraen but were sundered by the gods themselves and cast away in a time of great darkness. It is said that before the sundering, the Isles of Ancestry joined with what are now The Great Ruins to form a utopian civilization upon one large continent.
Though the reason for its destruction has been theorized, debated and argued by many over the centuries one thing is very clear. It is a place far too dangerous to traverse for anyone and thus not a place prone to research expeditions.
There is something that keeps the very mouth of abyss, hell, or anything else from spilling over into the rest of the world, a great magic that can be seen when watched from a safe distance. Creatures of many origins and ghastly appearances can be seen battling and falling against the invisible barrier.
Pictorial Description: The chain of islands that forms this set of islands resembles that of a dragon’s lower half skeletal remains. The largest of the islands looks to be that of a whole pelvic bone; the tail of this creature forming a chain of islands that wrap down to areas south and east.

Continent: Doraen
• The Doraen Continent – This continent is one of three main continents of Tel’Lagaia. While the culture has its diversities, much of it revolves around agricultural trade and crafts of functionality. In the larger human cities such as Vu’ul, it is not uncommon to find street stands of many types of wares standing outside large buildings supported by large granite, marble, or stone columns and ornate grotesques carved into the very stones. These grotesques are often of monsters, or figures of the mythos.
Occasionally, one can look up and around a building and be able to read an entirely pictorially displayed story of the gods or history.

• Academy of Magical & Alchemical Studies: - A landmark structure recently completed by the Steil'ven which has brought many of Steil'ven's neighboring regions and even many locals "up in arms" about such a dangerous structure. The Steil'ven government stands strongly by the idea that this floating landmass, less than a two day's ride from Vu'ul, can not possibly cause harm to anyone because it was built in an area where magic still behaves as it did before the Holy War. Many are in disbelief and believe such an area is impossible and the aerial landmass to be a danger.

• Aur’rul Vannik – Located on the north western portion of Doraen, these wide open savannas are primarily home to the Setae of the Harsieth society giving them more influence in Aur’rul Vannik culture, society, and politics.

• Colu’Verum – A well known monastery community located at the foot of the Vesteev River. This place is a sanctuary and home to those whom may not find themselves welcome elsewhere. A large cross section of people resides in this community surrounded by sporadic copses of trees.

• Ran’Tchk Jungles – The largest of the three heavily wooded areas of Doraen located on the south eastern portion of the continent, these humid jungles are primarily house the Sennew of the Harsieth thus giving the Sennew more influence in Ran’Tchk Harsieth society.

• Steil’ven – This region, founded by Steil, branches out from Vu’ul (it's capital city) in all directions. It is a rich piece of land ample with orchards, farms and ranches. Sheep for meat and wool, Cattle, potatoes, and many vegetables are grown in Steil’ven and exported all over the continent.

• Tal’Uran – This joint Harsieth capital is located at the south western border of Aur’rul Vannik. It is where all Harsieth congregate in joint matters and social events.
Tal’Uran is also the center of Harsieth commerce, where the best of the best come to train in the arts, trades and where Harsieth are able to find that which they seek, if it’s found in the material world.
Tal’Uran is also home to the castle in which the Emperor and Empress of the Harsieth serve their terms of office.

• Ter'rim - This region, founded by Ter, lacks fertile, tillable land through over half of it's territory. Because of this, Ter'rim trades a great deal with the Seven Silver Cities to the south. Ter'rim's capital city, B'Laell, is pirched atop the northern cliffs making it one of the most secure and defendable cities on Doraen.

• Seven Silver Cities - After the holy war, the destruction throughout Tel'Lagaia left little untouched. This small region set out to rebuild only to have it all taken away due to civil unrest, banditry and political overtakings until one man by the name of Tholmgar Markulin the IV founded Sossendria and managed to create a tentative alliance with several other influencial people in the region. Through compromise, politics and strong leadership an alliance of city-states was formed lead by a ruling council comprised of representatives from each of the city-states. Tholmgar Markulin the IV held first chair as representative for Sossendria. For five generations this council survived, until corruption and change destroyed it.

Sossendria is a city of history, not just the history of Sossendria but of all of lands. Its architecture represents the melding of the different cultures from the past and present. Many tour this great city and thus trade is abundant here. This city is still ruled by the Markulin family. It's patriarch widow Athymus Markulin recently remarried to a woman by the name of Isheen believed by some circles to be the secret consort to Kothede Shahnis. Athymus is adament that Isheen could not have any involvement with Kothede on any level. Athymus' four children from his previous marriage do not seem to have as much faith nor acceptance of Isheen as their father does.
Rolam, ruled by Kothede Shahnis, equals Sossendria as the largest of the seven city-states. Kothede began his career as an advisor to the king of Rolam and later ascended to rulership after the king's passing. It is believed that none of the original Rolam royal lineage remains today. Kothede is the most staunch opposition to the re-unification of the seven city-states as proposed by the Markulin family.
Reendre, ruled by Daegene Bortean, is the most agricultural of the region. Though the city itself is less populated than others in the area, the outlying farmlands of Reendre are abundant and many of the region’s food supplies come from Reendre.
Boodrali, ruled by Eydis Merlenis opposes re-unification believing that it would only serve to give more power to those that already hold more land.
Corma, ruled by Kralli Zeargo, one of three official female rulers in the seven cities-states. Kralli Zeargo is an ally of Sossendria and the Markulin family, believing strongly in the re-unification proposal.
Allyuen, now ruled by Kilvia Lorend, a steward in her father’s stead, until her younger brother Corriellus becomes of age. Her father had his differences with the Markulin family although he did believe in reuniting the city-states under one joint council. He knew the value in numbers and felt that in times of war, strong alliances would keep his people safe. However, in his stead now sits his daughter, a head strong, cocky, and spoiled youngster. She wishes only for the unification if her family received council's leading seat. Her mother, Lilliana, has counseled her of her father's wishes, to no avail.
Melliope, ruled by Kereste Dotyeztka (the third of the female leaders), is known as the city of the muse. It is the home to many a bard and visitors are almost never turned away. Every ruler since the founding of the city has been a bard by trade and in fact, every child of nobility is sent abroad for studies and upon return is tested thoroughly on many subjects. It is from the general nobility that the leader of the next generation for Melliope is chosen, not by royal lineage.

Deities and Religion

Deity: Isi'us

Culture/Origin: Harsieth

Holy Symbol: Tie Wreath (A flat knot in the shape of a medallion. This is often made with soften tree twigs, thin ropes, weaved hair, or any other slim flexible material. The ornamental knotting is always the same and is one of the first things a committed I'mam learns to do.)

Spheres of Influence: Harsieth society, moon, protection, and path to the afterlife

Domains: The Trickster: Competition, Luck, Moon, Trickery; The Hunter: Animal, Celerity, Moon, Travel; The Lover: Charm, Domination, Lust, Moon; The Mother: Family, Healing, Moon, Protection; The Warrior: Moon, Retribution, Strength, War; The Leader: Community, Courage, Moon, Nobility; The Sage: Knowledge, Mentalism, Moon, Planning; The Mystic: Dream, Magic, Moon, Mysticism;
The Reaper: Death, Destruction, Moon, Renewal;

Religious Ranks: Comprised of nine ranks to represent the nine rebirths of Isi'us: Hem'Netjer "Worldly Vessel of the Benevolant"; Mew'et "Mother of Grace"; Tjemset "Bringer of Mother's Life"; It' "Holy Father"; Neb'et "The Watching Lady"; Sat' "Daughter of the Benevolant"; Sa' "Son of the Benevolent"; Sesh' "Scribe"; and Bak' "Servant of the Holy";

The Mythos: The Harsieth were once felines that lived and roamed across the continent of Doraen but destructive powers of magic that spread across Doraen during the holy war left nothing unharmed. A savior, Isi'us, came and whisked many living creatures of varying species to a safe haven in the heavens of existence and later returned then to the mortal plane to live and learn through existence. Smitten by whether potential, nobility or affection, Isi'us gifted the felines with sentience and the promise of her ever present guidance as she returned them home.
It is believed that a holy scripture written on the bark of the Yab'yun tree is still somewhere on Doraen, written by the very first daughter of Isi'us.
Isi'us is venerated through her nine rebirths, interpreted as Aspects: The Trickster, The Hunter, The Lover, The Mother, The Warrior, The Leader, The Sage, The Mystic, and The Reaper. The Trickster and The Lover are strongly chaotic by nature while The Hunter and The Mother are chaotic due to the following of their cycle siblings. On the flip side The Leader and The Sage are strongly lawful while The Mystic is lawful due to the following of her cycle sibling. The Warrior is caught in between the forces of law and chaos and is forced to ever balance such tides. The Reaper is neutral by nature.
Each of Isi'us' nine rebirths holds teachings, writings, and stories of their own. These are passed through the church and through childrens stories. Stories of The Trickster revolve around Isi'us when she herself was a cub playing with others and acting foolishly. The Hunter speaks of when Isi'us must learn to survive on her own as she matured in age and wisdom. The Lover tells of when Isi'us sought mates truly worthy of her prowess and devotion. The Mother tells of when Isi'us must learn to be a mother, and deal with tricksters of her own. The Warrior relays of when Isi'us must learn of war to protect her own children. The Leader refers to times when Isi'us must govern those she has protected and mediate their disputes. The Sage speaks of governance that has forced Isi'us to seek answers for the future by looking into the events of the past. The Mystic details when Isi'us studies teach her of magic and she withdraws from her children into hermitage. Finally, The Reaper tells a tale of when Isi'us ascends into the god hood, leaving her mortal form behind.

Teachings Excerpt: “…And so Isi'us rescued the proud felines, whisking them from the storms of magic straight into the heavens where they rested and healed their wounds from the battles below. She wept greatly and where her tears fell from the heavens, later became lands and homes.
Her sadness shown scars of that which was far beyond the witnessing of a tragedy but she would not share her cause.
Gifting her new friends with new form and education she made her children promise to never squabble over that which did not matter. She made them promise that there would always be an order to things; an order that must be kept.
When the darkness below them finally lifted, she sent her children down to build a life for themselves, promising she would always watch over them...”

Gameplay: When playing a divine caster of Isi'us, the player/character must choose a specific aspect to be tied to. In the case of a cleric, this means that only the domains of the chosen aspect may be selected.

Lion

Fri, 7 Sep 2007 05:44:00 UTC

Li'Sieth (Lion)

Personality: The goal oriented and ambitious nature of the Li' Harsieth make them well suited for roles of leadership and political power within Harsieth society. In fact 7 of the last 9 Harsieth Emperors including the current reigning emperor Ja’lun Mira’cheki Li’jintoric of House Jintoric have come from the Li' Harsieth caste.
The Li'Sieth is proud, self righteous, charismatic and are well known for their ability to leave lasting first and further impressions.
He believes in being well groomed; as the package is as important as the contents, this can lead a Li'Sieth to being vain.
Weakness, frailty or deformity is not tolerated by a Li'Sieth to any degree.

Physical Description: Physically the second largest of all the Harsieth these muscular cats stand between 6 feet to 6 ½ feet tall. Generally golden in color, these well groomed felinids keep their hair long as a sign of status.

Outlook: Li'Sieth know what it takes to get things done. They believe that life is a constant battle whether mental or physical.
Preserving the traditional Harsieth ways is important to a Li'Sieth and he will and does fight for it to stay that way, no matter what it takes. Li'Sieth look forward by looking into the past and holds society and each caste where they are with an iron fist and mighty “roar”.

Alignment: These noble creatures generally of the lawful or neutral bend. The concept of chaos outside of battle is one that escapes the mental grasp of most Li'Sieth. While varying widely on the axis of good and evil.

Li'Sieth Lands: Most Li'Sieth reside in the savannas north east of Tal’Uran. They live in a wide spectrum of environments from large cities to the most rural country sides. One thing that generally seems to hold true, however, is that Li'Sieth will tend to live where other Li'Sieth live.

Religion: Most Li'Sieth are quite devout in their beliefs of Isi'us. While few are active in the clergy of Isi'us, many politicians and even the emperor himself are known to commonly quote out of holy scripts and show great public support for the orthodoxy.

Language: Sharing the common language of Haisen with his fellow Harsieth brethren a Li'Sieth is known to be able to make his best friends or his worst enemies with little more than a few words.

Names: Li'Sieth are generally given a name of birth that emphasizes in strength or leadership. These names are often harsh in sound, to announce the presence of the Li'Sieth, and are never more than two syllables. To a Li'Sieth, his Names of Heart are the most important part of his name. A Li'Sieth tends to strive to complete feat after feat that would warrant Names of Heart to be given to him. In fact, some of the more vain Lions prefer or even demand to be called by their long, elaborate Names of Heart rather than his Name of Birth.
Finally, a Li'Sieth’s caste name holds two parts, the first being “Li” and the second being the name of one of the nine houses in the caste.
Names of Birth: Charik, Ja’lun (unmoving mountain), Kha, Mytok (strength from the sky),
Names of Heart: Mira’cheki, Phan T’Dherishin, Bi’Torrek Amni Ku, Hi’tu Maluk,
Names of Caste: 1) Li’Jintoric (pronounced Yintoric), 2) Li’Paeli, 3) Li’Daen, 4) Li’Chepai, 5) Li’Mrel, 6) Li’Orjal, (Final 3 house names are being left open for the campaign’s choosing.)

Adventurers: While some Li'Sieth leave on soul searching journeys it is uncommon for a “normal” Li'Sieth to stray too far from Harsieth lands. The most common far straying adventurers are generally those who were ostracized by family and society for one reason or another.

Harsieth

Fri, 7 Sep 2007 05:32:00 UTC

Harsieth

(Note: The Harsieth are inspired by and partially based off of the Artathi from Mythic Races by FFG.)

The Harsieth are a culturally, physically, politically and even geographically divided race. Following a strict system of castes dividing those of the "higher" (the Setae, meaning First Life) castes and those of the "lower" (the Sennew, meaning Second Life) castes.
In both the jungle and the savanna, a great number of cities of different mixes can be found. These social “hubs” are important to Harsieth society as these locations hold political power and even the nomadic tribes tend to travel through them from time to time for supplies and to establish alliances.
Without the more rural areas of the nation, however, there would be little to sustain these cities. Crafters and cultivators rarely find residence in the cities but instead travel and live with tribes or small packs of like minded individuals.
The Harsieth are comprised of seven castes each individualized by its caste. The first three, Setae, are comprised of the Li’Sieth, Tige’Sieth, and the Jag’Sieth. From this caste, the emperor of the Harsieth nation is chosen every generation. While the number of houses comprising each of the lower castes varies from caste to caste the Setae castes each comprise of exactly nine houses.
The next four, Sennew, are comprised of Baper’Sieth, Coog’Sieth, Lep’Sieth, and the Chet’Sieth. From this caste, the empress of the Harsieth nation is chosen every generation.
Inter-caste breeding creates children known as Nenem, otherwise called mongrels. Mongrels are born sterile and are given no caste, and no official place in society. Usually cast out by the birth parents and family early on. Despite the many disadvantages of inter-caste breeding, it is still surprisingly common.
On very, very rare occasions, a non mongrel can be cast out to the state of a Nenem, but these Nenem are rarely accepted by even the mongrels born to their fate.
The Harsieth put great weight and value on names as a whole. Each caste Harsieth is given a Name of Birth (O’ren) during or shortly after his birth often entailing a short ceremony. This second component, which often takes up far more of the Harsieth’s name, is known as the Name or Names of Heart (Ib’ren). Ib’rens are given to a Harsieth as he earns them by his own deeds and accomplishments throughout his life. The final component is the Name of Caste (Ei'ren) which is comprised of the caste and house of the Harsieth in question.
The Harsieth venerate one goddess in their official religion. Isi’us is believed to be the mother, spiritual guide and guardian of all Harsieth. The official Isi’us church is comprised of nine official ranks, each representing one of Isi’us’ rebirths. It is believed that those who turn away from Isi’us will lose her favor and protection leaving them to wander aimlessly in this world and the next. But the few bold Harsieth that have turned from Isi’us as champions, priests, and divine vessels of other religions have not dwindled in their success. These Harsieth are frequently forced to flee far from their homes by the Isi'us orthodoxy. Possibly the single largest threat to the Isi'us orthodoxy within the Harsieth nation would be the few Nenem gifted with the ability to channel the divine.
Despite it's many challenges, Harsieth society is a strong and diverse culture of felinids united in one racial nation.
The orthodoxy of Isi'us teaches all Harsieth that the Nine Rebirths of Isi'us can be seen in all aspects of life. The Harsieth follow a lunar calendar that cycles every nine months and each week is comprised of nine days. Even the moon is paid it's due respect during the changing of each of it's nine phases (new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent, and the once a year lunar eclipse).

Humans

Fri, 7 Sep 2007 02:25:00 UTC

Humans

Most humans are the ancestors of pioneers, conquerors, traders, travelers, refugees, and other people on the move. As a result, human lands are a mix of people—physically, culturally, religiously, and politically. Hardy or fine, light-skinned or dark, showy or austere, primitive or civilized, devout or impious, humans run the gamut.

Personality: Humans are the most adaptable, flexible, and ambitious people among the common races. They are diverse in their tastes, morals, customs, and habits. Others accuse them of having little respect for history, but it’s only natural that humans, with their relatively short life spans and constantly changing cultures, would have a shorter collective memory than dwarves, gnomes, faen and Shar’Liells.

Physical Description: Humans typically stand from 5 feet to a little over 6 feet tall and weigh from 125 to 250 pounds, with men noticeably taller and heavier than women. Thanks to their penchant for migration and conquest, and to their short generations, humans are more physically diverse than other common races, with skin shades that run from nearly black to very pale, hair from black to blond (curly, kinky, or straight), and facial hair (for men) from sparse to thick. Plenty of humans have a dash of nonhuman blood, and they may demonstrate hints of Shar’Liell, orc, or other lineages. Humans are often ostentatious or unorthodox in their grooming and dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, body piercings, and the like. Humans have short life spans, achieving majority at about 15 and rarely living even a single century.

Relations: Just as readily as they mix with each other, humans mix with members of other races. Among the other races, humans are known as “everyone’s second-best friends.” They serve as ambassadors, diplomats, magistrates, merchants, and functionaries of all kinds.

Outlook: Humans do not tend towards a specific outlook on life. Although many value hard work and earning their way through life there are still many that believe in cheating and stealing their way through the world.

Alignment: Humans tend toward no particular alignment, not even neutrality. The best and the worst are found among humans.

Human Lands: Humans populate all over Doraen in various ways. Those to the south eastern portions of Doraen are often nomadic while their brethren to the north have two large regions of settlements and cities that until recently were in great conflict and constant war.

[Human lands are usually in flux, with new ideas, social changes, innovations, and new leaders constantly coming to the fore. Members of longer-lived races find human culture exciting but eventually a little wearying or even bewildering.
Since humans lead such short lives, their leaders are all young compared to the political, religious, and military leaders among the other races. Even where individual humans are conservative traditionalists, human institutions change with the generations, adapting and evolving faster than parallel institutions among the dwarves and gnomes. Individually and as a group, humans are adaptable opportunists, and they stay on top of changing political dynamics.
Human lands generally include relatively large numbers of nonhumans compared to other societies.]

Religion: Humans do not have a specific deity or pantheon they worship. Humans have a wide range of faiths and beliefs based regionally and historically. This ranges from worshipping of ancestors to the dragon protectors of the time of creation to many more.

Language: Humans usually speak the language most native to the areas they have resided in for the longest duration of their life. Many, particularly those that travel, also speak common.

Names: Human names vary greatly. Without a unifying deity to give them a touchstone for their culture, and with such a fast breeding cycle, humans mutate socially at a fast rate. Human culture, therefore, is more diverse than other cultures, and no human names are truly typical. Some human parents give their children dwarven Shar’Liell, or Harsieth names (pronounced more or less correctly).

Adventurers: Human adventurers are the most audacious, daring, and ambitious members of an audacious, daring, and ambitious race. A human can earn glory in the eyes of his fellows by amassing power, wealth, and fame. Humans, more than other people, champion causes rather than territories or groups.

Human Racial Traits:
• +1 To Any One Stat
• 30 Ft. Base Speed
• 1 Extra Feat at 1st level
• 4 Extra skill points at 1st level and 1 extra skill point at each additional level.
• Knowledge (Human) as a class skill, and automatically gain a free rank at every even level starting at 2nd level.
• Automatic Languages: Common.
• Bonus Languages: Any
• Favored Class: Any

Cheetah

Thu, 6 Sep 2007 03:39:00 UTC

Chet'Sieth (Cheetah)

Personality: Lowest of the castes, the Chet'Sieth are timid and easily scared. Survival is important to them and because of this, they are not afraid to flee from situations being that it is their best method of defense in comparison to the other Harsieth.
Looked down upon by all the other castes the Chet' find solace in their daily lives. Male and female Chet' find themselves to have very distinct separations in behavior and preferences. This is believed to partially come from their "primitive" nature and basic cat instincts.
The male Chet'Sieth are the tool craftsmen and basic tradesmen of the Harsieth society playing their role to further the masses. Gravitating towards small familial groups for support.
The female Chet'Sieth act as scouts and lookouts, they are individualistic and many even view the male Chet'Sieth as inferior with their need of group support networks.

Physical Description: Chet'Sieth are fast, faster than any other caste. They have blunt non retractable claws that are used for traction, another trait seen as inferior by the higher castes who have sharp retractable claws that are capable of being used as weaponry.
Being the smallest of the Harsieth, a Chet'Sieth rarely grows to much more than 4'9", while the shortest of them coming in at just over 4'. This can prove as an advantage however as Chet'Sieth are able to use their size and gain extra speed by running on all four legs rather than just his two hind ones. Providing maneuverability and stability while moving.

Outlook: Few Chet'Sieth are content with their status in Harsieth society but are "bred" to understand their role as an integral part of progression. Secretly they long for more, hoping what they were raised to believe are not true for all time.

Alignment: With a wide variety of motivations, Chet'Sieth tend to vary widely in their alignments.

Harsieth Lands: Small enclaves of Chet'Sieth males can be found from small villages to large cities. As the menial workers of society, need for them is ever rampant.
The woman Chet'Sieth on the other hand often scatter into the winds, staying to themselves usually unless mating or visiting cities for employment reasons.

Religion: While taught the importance of the ways of the official church, Chet'Sieth have a caste wide secret. One they have managed to keep for many generations. Their homage to Isi'us is little more than lip service for the majority of the Chet'Sieth. Instead their prayers go to ancestors and totemic icons with prayers to revert back to their true natures and forms away from a society of separation and oppression. (REMEMBER: THIS IS A CASTE SECRET, NO OUTSIDERS KNOW THIS OR EVEN HAVE SUSPICIONS. THE Chet'Sieth HAVE SACRIFICED A GREAT DEAL TO MAINTAIN THIS SECRET.)

Language: The Chet'Sieth's primary language is Harsieth.

Names: The Chet'Sieth live a simple life and choose names that reflect such, short and simple names of birth. Few Chet'Sieth ever get a name of honor due to their low status in society.
Chet'Sieth have hundreds of houses, and reflected in the wide range of caste names. A Chet'Sieth’s caste name holds two parts, the first being “Chet” and the second being the name of one of the houses in the caste.
Names of Birth: Cha', Nupa, Shi,
Names of Caste: Chet'Mu, Chet'Ra, Chet'Li

Adventurers: There are many Chet'Sieth who are swept up in adventuring life by seeing the opportunities that exist and hearing of tales where magic or lost scriptures that were found. Even more tempting are the rumors of answers to all of life's questions can be found, perhaps in the next excavated hidden chamber from a long forgotten past.

Leopard

Thu, 6 Sep 2007 03:38:00 UTC

Lep'Sieth (Leopard)

Personality: Sly and cunning Lep'Sieth tend to work in the unnoticed. Lep'Sieth tend to shy away from spotlights, working more as puppet masters and from the shadows. Able to stalk, spy, and hide with ease for long periods of time without being detected, Lep'Sieth learn secrets and the ways of the shadow. Willing to run away when outmatched Lep'Sieth are self reliant and quick witted enough to recognize a situation for what it is and act accordingly.
Few travel in groups and even when in groups, tend to think as a freelancer and independent operator although careful not to show his motives in the process. After all, creating disharmony and conflict is no way to ensure the success of any task.

Physical Description: The only nocturnal caste of the Harsieth, the Lep'Sieth has exceptionally keen eye sight. A large felinid, coming in at between 5'9" and 6'7" tall with thin to medium build; he does not seem impeded by his size when practicing his stealthy 'professions'.
As for the Lep'Sieth's physical appearance, that varies based on location. Lep'Sieth are chameleon by nature and born with coats that suit their environs. As they grow older, their coats are able to change colors but it is usually over long periods of time, and a Lep'Sieth's spotting or pattern never changes.

Outlook: Lep'Sieth are subtle, independent and self reliant but even they understand the value and necessity of allies. When working with others they strongly believe in not creating conflict but are somehow usually able to persuade others to their ways of thinking in civil manners. Easily appealed to with logic and simple methods a Lep'Sieth is not brash or foolish to make important decisions.

Alignment: Generally falling close to the neutral aspects regardless of which side they may lean, chaos and extreme measures rarely work for or with the methods of a Lep'Sieth.

Harsieth Lands: Whether in the savanna or the jungles, even in many varied communities Lep'Sieth like to live in the trees, but rarely do they build easy ways for visitors to enter their dwellings. Generally preferring to meet people at other locations and homes.

Religion: The Lep'Sieth's perspective of the Church of Isi'us comes quite varied. Some, believe that the teachings and church of Isi'us is little more than a tool used to garner obedience from the general public and do not hesitate to put such tools into their own disposal by either joining the church or becoming great philanthropists in the name of Isi'us and it's official church. Others genuinely believe in the teachings of Isi'us even if not in the church itself.
Even others walk the steps of believing ancestors are where their salvation lies. Although their numbers are few and those who do feel such ways certainly do not make it known. After all, that would be likely causing conflicts and turn people against the Lep'Sieth in question and no Lep' wants that.

Language: The Lep'Sieth is a true linguists, learning and adapting more than just his behavior to where he goes, he needs to be able to communicate with those around him to convince them that he is right and they should act according to his cause.

Names: Lep'Sieth care little for extravagant titles. They have "far more important" matters to deal with as a rule. A Lep'Sieth's name of birth is generally straight forward and without unnecessary flourishes and any Names of Heart earned are generally kept private when possible.
For the name of caste, Lep'Sieth are comprised of many houses. Though no where near the hundreds that the Chet' Harsieth are able to lay claim to, they are nevertheless widely spread in common lineage. A Lep'Sieth’s caste name holds two parts, the first being “Lep” and the second being the name of one of the houses in the caste.
Names of Birth: Brish, R'lok, B'vaek, Koro,
Names of Caste: Lep'Thon, Lep'Uran, Lep'Khash, Lep'Vir'a

Adventurers: While a Lep'Sieth may not directly seek wealth, Lep'Sieth do want to feel in control of their lives and such desires can often lead to a life of adventuring. In addition, there are handfuls of Lep'Sieth that find themselves bored and unchallenged at home, such discontent has been known to lead a skillful Lep'Sieth or two test their mettle in the world beyond the Harsieth nation.

Cougar

Thu, 6 Sep 2007 03:35:00 UTC

Coog'Sieth (Cougar)

Personality: A group oriented planner, the Coog'Sieth believes in balancing power, intention and strength. He is intelligent, quick witted and believes in doing the right thing. These qualities although all valuable, holds the Coog'Sieth back from the emperor's seat. He is unwilling to make the hard decisions and the big sacrifices that often are required in the world of the true power players.
Poetic, articulate, and diplomatic, Coog'Sieth is selected again and again as an important ambassador, advisor and even political front man (provided you can prove to him your cause is justified).

Physical Description: Relatively smaller than his Setae brethren, the Coog'Sieth is still larger than most Sennews. Generally ranging between 5'8" to nearly 6'5" the Coog'Sieth has long, agile legs that allow him to jump and climb quite swiftly. Physically less muscular than many of the other Harsieth, a Coog'Sieth is able to compensate by using speed and agility to his advantage.
Fairly short haired, his coat ranges from light yellows to mid browns. His ears are more rounded and eyes are wider than his fellow Harsieth.

Outlook: The Coog'Sieth values wisdom and the strength of will, he seeks to further the causes he believes in. He is honorable and always keen to keep his word if he chooses to give it. He is able to lead without the interference of ego unlike many others, this gives him a clear and calm perspective when facing impossible odds.
Even in the face of a loss, he can always at say "I have moral high ground" because he will never compromise who he is and what is right.

Alignment: Generally lawful and generally of the good approach, this is not always the case as some of the more zealous believers of altruism can go to far and commit harmful acts in hopes for a better outcome.

Harsieth Lands: When settling somewhere to call home the Coog'Sieth prefers forests, hills, or mountains; wherever there are places for him to climb, hide and explore. It allows him to feel less trapped and gives him time to himself to think and rest. In the Harsieth "nation" there are a number of Coog'Sieth settlements and small cities built upwards rather than out to provide the Coog'Sieth with an open feel. In fact, the upwards architecture is so high, intertwined, and unique; it is often an attraction for distant artists or bards to visit and seek their muses.

Religion: While only some Coog'Sieth find themselves called to the direct service of Isi'us through the ways of the clergy, most Coog'Sieth are still devout followers of Isi'us. Some Coog'Sieth do not share the same interpretations of the teachings of Isi'us as the official church, those that due try to subtly change things when able.

Language: In his spare time, the Coog'Sieth enjoys composing many works of linguistic arts such as poetry, plays, or even songs. He always tries to speak in a sophisticated manner using his wide vocabulary for a lyrical component in his communication.

Names: If you ever ask a tiger what his Coog'Sieth friend's name is, he is likely to answer "A headache!"

Because of this the Coog'Sieth will often shorten his name in order to make interactions with others easier but he will always state his full name of birth during formal introductions.
Coog'Sieth come from one of 12 houses, meaning one of 12 caste names. A Coog'Sieth’s caste name holds two parts, the first being “Coog” and the second being the name of one of the houses in the caste.

Adventurers: As a bard or diplomat the Coog'Sieth often sets out on the open road to seek his muse or broker trade. If for the latter, he certainly is known for taking his time to make his way home as many beauties have been known to distract him, just for a moment.
