| | | | |
| − | === History === | + | === [[The Alin]] === |
| − | ==== Helegu vs Telehetti ====
| |
| − | After enduring 10 years of Helegu expeditionary forces making deep incursions, the western mamba plain was decimated by a huge (50,000 Helegu + 100,000 ancillaries) Helegu lead army 135 years prior to the fall of the last Khaganate. For 5 years the Helegu lead army rampaged across the Erensari destroying farms and villages but were unable to draw Telehetti warriors into a pitched battle.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The Telehetti turned away the great herds and burnt crops to deny the Helegu food, dammed rivers to slow the invaders, abandoned poorly defensible areas, melted away before the invader, engaged in an endless guerilla war campaign and summoned the dark forces of the land to drain the will of the invaders. | + | The Alin were a powerful race that dwelt on distant worlds. |
| | | | |
| − | Lead by the Telehetti Champion Dogon the Star Holder, a small force of Erensari cut off the Helegu’s army leadership and slaughtered them. Foremost among them Mengu-Timur Khaganate, the ruler of the United Helegu Confederation. His killing struck the deathblow for the demoralised army which returned to the horse clan homelands.
| + | === [[Caridern]] === |
| | | | |
| − | Under the Roaring Host the Helegu continued to conduct raids into the Erensari for almost a century. Learning how best to strike at the Helegu from success and defeat , the Telehetti became expert in frustrating the long-term Helegu ambition in their homeland.
| + | The Caridern are an extinct elder race of smoky blue skinned elves whose final cause of extinction is unknown to modern races. |
| | | | |
| − | 20 years ago a force of 15,000 Helegu and 35,000 ancillary forces were lured deep into the southern Mamba Plains where they were annihilated in less than a day. Seemingly vanished without a trace, they are now known as as Jayaatu’s lost army and are now the stuff of legend.
| + | === [[Carkade]] === |
| | | | |
| − | There have been numerous ‘unsanctioned’ raids by both sides since the comprehensive beating down of the Helegu in the past 20 years but nothing that would suggest full scale war is inevitable.
| + | A powerful continent spanning ancient civilisation who emerged from the western continent tens of thousands of years ago. The Carkade vanished after a protracted and viscous conflict lasting more than 1,000 years. |

| | + | * [[Features]] |
| | | | |

| + | A powerful empire that rules a large portion of the north. Currently divided into 4 separate, warring 'Hosts', each with their own Khan. |
| − | Faced with an existential crisis the elite who were secret members of the Cult of Ammutseba made a pact with that elder being. While the rest of their race, lands, cities and culture were immolated, the elite and important servants were saved from oblivion with the gift of immortality. They were turned into undead - the mummies of Carkade created from the elite, lesser undead from the servants and shades & shadows from the slaves.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The King and Queen became immensely powerful Mummy Royalty, the inner-circle of prominent and powerful nobles became Mummy Lords, other nobility became Mummy Nobles while servants and some others were transformed into normal mummies and other undead of varying stability.
| + | === [[Janto]] === |
| | | | |
| − | Put into stasis deep beneath the ruins of their great houses and then set adrift in the timevoid (the cracks between space and time), the Mummies of Carkade are awaiting a summons from the elder being (Ammutseba) that created them.
| + | The Janto are a secretive alliance of familial clans linked by trade and ancient racial memories with enclaves throughout the western continent. |

These ascended allowed a chosen few into their ancient mysteries and by extension thrall. The Alin were said to be to shuffle reality like a deck of cards (transformation and summoning) while the Carkade were unsurpassed in necromantic power.
| |
| | | | |

The chest piece gave way to stars - the bottom half of the image was ruined. There was a trace of colour around the edges of the face (white), top corners (black) and in the aura (yellow).
| + | Long hidden from the affairs of surface dwelling realms, the Stone Giants are emerging as a force to be reckoned with. |
| | | | |
| − | In the lowest level of the temple there was a great looming passageway representing fallen foes of the Carkade. Towards the end of the corridor figures of patrons begin to appear.

| + | === [[Gods]] === |
| | | | |

| − | The nation exists on a plateau with hills to the west and east, mountains to the south and the Brass Desert to the north. It is dry and hot in summer, cool and wet in the brief winter. Thousands of years ago it was incredibly wet and lush and still maintains some remnant forests and deep lakes which are seemingly bottomless.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The eastern part of Treonol is largely borderlands and wilderness with towns strung out along the old caravan routes, which are now being turned into the fortified roads.

A few stone giants have made their way north in recent years and occasionally other humanoids such as gnolls and trolls will migrate through. Dwarves fought alongside the Treonol 130 years ago but have bunkered down in their underground fortresses, never having made a formal peace deal with the Helegu, though they seem prepared to wait out this current human empire.
