Ashtara RPG

Watchers are darker Divines who serve the same purpose and duty but are more prone to violence, torture, and horrors.

Lokiias, God of War and Chaos. Azazel, God of Death and Sorrow. Rexias, God of Madness.

These three are most notable.

Immortal entities that oversee all of creation. There are nine and besides Ellucia, Goddess of Light and Order, most are a mystery.

Off the western coast, several miles, is a cluster of inhabited islands. Adventurers and scholars often travel here hoping to discover its mysteries.

Azrikia versus the four kingdoms. Considering Azrikia sees humanity as a food source and little else, it has created a deep animosity from the Kingdoms.

Exobia and Sarcheo are two religious nations that do not get along. Exobia's Cardinal Laforak is plotting how to destroy and conquer Sarcheo without igniting a war with Lavaris.

Icacia and Exobia are allied and form the Twin Empires. Although they are ruled individually, their pact sees them war together.

Resona Woodcity and Ashtara. The Elves and Demons have been allies for longer than the Twin Empires have existed. Lavaris tried to claim Candahl Forest and oust the Elves, but were met by the sheer ferocity of Ashtara who came to their defense leading to the construction of Ironwall.

Ashtara, Resona, and Lavaris are at peace via an accord designed by King Tisaak of Lavaris.

The southern Wastelands and desert is home to Azrikia, the vampire led nation. Only one nation they fear and that's Ashtara as Ashtaran blood is lethally toxic to an Azrikian.

It's unclear how the hierarchy works, but there are three Master Vampires who run things.

The dark and treacherous marshlands on the eastern side of the river that separates Sarcheo and Lavaris. Traversing the marsh will find you in the Twin Empire territory.

Northeast, resting near the Ironwall is Icacia, one half of the Twin Empires. They are led by Tokiko, their queen, and her table of advisors. Icacia is home to thieves and the nation prides themselves on this. Although allied with the south to form the Twin Empires, relations have been very shaky since Cardinal Ladorak seized power.

Exobia, land of barbarians and gladiators, is led by Cardinal Ladorak. Despite being religious in function, the people love to fight and watch fighting. Ladorak in recent years has become ambitious and seeks to expand.

The only territory belonging to the Holy Lands of Sarcheo. A tall Spire houses the millions of worshippers, priests, maidens, and monks.

While considered by many to be cultists over spiritual and religious people, the Holy Lands rest in the northern central region of the continent.

Nine is a holy number and so they are led by the Nine Monks.

Town and farmland of Lavaris. Very friendly residents.

This pertains to the royal district of Lavaris and is where the palace and, with it, the king and queen live. It's architecture is a world wonder.

Soccer or football, doesn't matter what you call it, is the first known sport to really catch on. It's really becoming huge amongst Lavarians. Here is a list of active and current teams:

1. Loriander Knights - the team based out of the capital.

2. Ironwall Sentinels - the team based on those working, latrolling, guarding, and living along the Ironwall.

3. Monkubo Pirates - the team made up, mostly, on Knights and miners within Monkubo. Warden is having try outs amongst prisoners.

4. Aradock Bulls - the team made up of farmers, fisherman, and residents of Aradock Farms.

5. Guverian Monsters - the team made up of both residents and knights who reside in the fortress city in the dangerous Guverian Marshes.

Future Teams are:

1. Ashtaran Reapers - a potential team based out of Ashtara if they can be enticed.

2. Resona Rain - a potential team that would form by Ambrose of Ashtara request. The Elves will love the sport.

3. Sarcheo Saints - an already in progress team based out of the Holy Lands.

Patriotic, flourishing businessmen, scientists, researchers, scholars, half breeds, half bloods, Cacklings, Killairians, diversity, and everything good and bad relatable to humanity.

They pride themselves on baked goods, food, alcohol, tobacco, clothing, and art.

Lavaris has recently started sports and seeks to form teams with the one day hope of going global.

Located by Hollowlake, this twenty story tower fortress extends thirty levels underground. When convicted of a serious crime in Lavaris, you are tossed into the depths of the dungeons to mine. It's overseen by Warden Tuskhollow, who is not a nice man, to say the least.

The Kingdom of humans and the most populated civilization in existence. The entirety of the west up until the Ironwall (their property) and southwest. Lavaris is the largest nation, not just in population, but also size.

Lavaris is led by a Monarch and is, on paper, a Dictatorship, but Lavaris has flourished under King Tisaak and Queen Sasari, the beloved couple. His council consists of seven generals and six politicians.

Lavaris is known for everything ranging from agriculture to ore to ale and back to medicine and armor. Lavarian Steel is second only to Ashtaran Steel.

The current state of Lavaris is very prosperous and the people are above average in happiness.

The race of Elves that reside in Resona Woodcity within the Candahl Forest.

Their skin tone is more often a very light shade of blue, purple, or gray. Hair colors come in nearly any color imaginable.

After their growth spurt following their 'teen' years, River Elves jump to 5'10" to 6'1" exactly in that range. Not even science understands why there's no disparity.

The Voice, the most beloved and respected member of the River Elves, is rumored to be brilliant and one of the greatest minds on Tyridion.

They love tailor and make jewelry. They are also experts at pottery and needlework.

Ashtaran is a race as much as it is associated to a place. It's believed they are half blooded demons, but not nearly as psychotic.

Common battle attire is black and shades of red is blue robed battle armor, hoods, and masks that latch over their face. Unrivaled swordsman, talented archers, and predominantly versed in dark, shadow, energy, and black magics.

Ashtarans are not very talkative and don't seem to possess much social acuity. They still participate in festivals, drink on occasion, and many have the habit of smoking red sticks (cigarettes and cloves).

Ashtarans love to fight, so unless you can fight, don't challenge one. Humans teach their kids to read and write. Asjtarans are taught the sword and fist.

Located in Candahl Forest, Resona Woodcity is home to the River Elves. Proficient hunters by right, they are more known for nurturing the forest and respecting that which is nature. They are life long friends and allies with Ashtara but they are weary and suspicious of Lavaris and especially the Holy City.

They are led by a powerful black Elven Mage known simply as 'The Voice' and is often referred to as 'Mother' or 'Moth'. Although she is the ultimate Voice in the Woodcity, the Foxcry Council actually oversees the kingdom. However, despite this - when the Voice is channeled to give orders (the Voice becomes a medium between the Elves and the Goddess) no one has the authority to argue much less disobey.

The Woodcity rests on the far west coastline and touches both the cliffs overlooking the sea and the mountains that barricade entry to Ashtara.

Very intuned with Nature and well versed in the magic arts. They do not trust easily.

This dense forest covers the entirety of the territory between the Grethnal Mountains where Ashtars resides and Brindlewood marks the edge of - and runs throughout everywhere from east coast to west coast and up until the Ironwall cuts it off.

It's an ancient forest with legends of curses, witches, monsters, and demons everywhere, though few ever try to prove nor disprove these stories.

The Ironwall is a forest that sits opposite side (south) of Brindlewood. It's a massive 25 foot high wall made of iron, plated with steel, that runs coast to coast, or east to west. In the old days, it was used to prevent Ashtara from invading the Holy City, but a peace accord was reached and it's purpose is obsolete despite still remaining active.

An Ashtaran settlement that rests at the edge of Candahl Forest a two day hike from Ashtara itself.

At the border of where it snows and where it does not, the Ashtaran Fields reside where they grow crops, raise livestock, and plant medicinal seeds.

The oldest of the Five Kingdoms. It is led by Emperor Ambrose Nyx and Empress Heather Rose-Nyx. Ambrose is an intimidating warrior king who commands over shadow and energy. Heather is a beatiful seductress and sorceress.

Ashtara is located in the Frozen North and is built into a valley between two massive mountain peaks. Their numbers are smaller than most, but they are still home to the most formidable military.

They are an isolated nation by choice. Despite this isolation they are not aggressive nor war mongrels. They keep to themselves.

The terrain is cold, constantly snows.

Their exports and resources revolve around gems, gemstones, forge metals, earthly and otherworldly metals. They are experts in hunting, fishing, and metalwork. Ashtaran alcohol and they are rather advanced in pharmaceuticals.

The nation, as a whole, has a lot of magic users and wielders.

Ashtaran weapons are among the greatest on Tyridion.

Ashtaran Government is a Republic with a Monarch. Public matters are voted upon through a council of five senators known as 'The Hand with each representing a finger. Heather symbolizes a fist whereas Ambrose represents the punch.
