Expanded Lore
In the far-off land of Andromeda lies a history long hidden from the Known World, yet those of Andromeda know so much more of the world beyond theirs. From those who have journeyed to these strange new lands revealed by the stars, much of Andromeda’s major points of interest are noted. One such point includes the Champions of Roshana, guides of the Light who have offered to help those who first arrived in Andromeda. Another involves the major nations of the unreachable regions of Andromeda; those who serve as beacons of commerce and foreign trading. There is far more than the Champions and the nations, however, yet those very things are best left to those who truly wish to explore.
Champions of Roshana
In this land, there are three notable figures who have served this land and its natives long before this most recent arrival of adventurers.
Juliara Solaryn
The Champion of the Sun.
Lady Juliara Solaryn is a Wyverian of radiant strength, known for her passionate spirit and warm presence. Her Wyverian talents and blessings of Roshana Lux, the Aspect of the Sun, have earned her the right to bear the title of Champion. She leads her fellows with conviction and does not shy from force when the order of Andromeda is threatened. Juliara would do anything to protect her people and uphold stability under the flames of the Sun. Brightly, then, the Sun shines down upon her and her kin.
Dynalese
The Champion of the Stars.
The Starscourge of Roshana Vela, Dynalese is a manticore who has surpassed the limitations of his race by suppressing his ravenous hunger. The stars themselves have blessed him, calling to him from above his island. Dynalese has sought to understand his purpose in the world, acting as a bridge between Night and Day to guide those who follow him and support his every endeavor. Beneath the strength of a powerful manticore lies a benevolent soul, prepared for what comes next.
Noctyrr Luntrara
The Champion of the Moon.
An enigmatic Veilborn of the Moon, Noctyrr Luntrara received the blessings of Roshana Aer through his commitment to the shadows and darkness. He observes and learns from the people around him, understanding the world whilst keeping mostly to himself. Knowledge is power, and thus Noctyrr holds quite much to himself and to those who deems ‘worthy.’ Like the moon shifts, Noctyrr fades between Light and Darkness with nothing but his own interests to keep him moving.
Kingdoms of Distant Lands
Farther into the unreachable areas of Andromeda are kingdoms that have a hand in providing opportunity to those new to the land…
DISCLAIMER: You can add details of these kingdoms to your backstory, but please note that these kingdoms do not physically exist in the playable world.
The Ashened Crown
Empire of Embers & Conquest
The Empire of the Ashened Crown are a martial society of creatures raised within flame and fire. From the ashes of a dying volcano, they surpassed the odds and grew strong through sheer will. Outmatching all others in the form of strength, the Ashened Crown have become a force of power that stretches even out of Andromeda. They deal in armor and weapons, prioritizing the highest quality of armaments when conquest is not their first priority.
The Konori Pact
Federation of Fae & Wyld
Deep within the far confines of Andromeda rests the Konori Pact, a dwelling of neighboring Fae clans that unify as one to deal in commerce and other effects akin to their whimsical ways. They reach out as necessary, serving as heralds of nature as most Fae tend do. They focus their goals on supporting opportunity and growth to those who seek it, so long as economics maintain interest. They trade in the greatest works of agriculture and wood.
The Sanctum Imperium
Innovators of the Light & Change
The Sanctum Imperium is a large group of individuals who devote themselves to the Luminary and Their Glorious Light. As much as they revere Roshana as one, they are also innovators of state-approved change and seek to engage the land with knowledge and information. The knowledge they provide is often the truth, so they say, and thus their influence continues to grow. From stone to the glimmering ores hidden in the world, they trade in the natural treasures of the world as they believe it to be a gift of the Light itself.
The Kingdom Mehrisande
Antiquaries of the Arcane & Ancient
The Kingdom of Mehrisande is a grand nation that remains distant from the rest of Andromeda, and yet their reach to the world is quite extensive. They are a nation that deals in the arcane history of the Known World – Andromeda and beyond – and seek to learn more of the magics that empower all things of the land. All books, equipment, and items of the arcane and the divine are observed by the people of Mehrisande, and they thrive in knowing of those who are just as inclined as they are.
