Update: Added lore entries for the Amazons into the first post. More will follow over the week, and once fully updated, more surprises and convenience-tweaking will follow for players...
The list will be focused on tomorrow when I'm awake enough to deal with it, likely after I get home.
Characters
Queen Moira: Queen Moira is a of an average height, with a Hispanic heritage as most Amazons have. She has dark brown hair and light blue eyes, and is known for her unusual calm and temperance amongst the Amazon people, though she is known to get quite passionate where it concerns the ultimate preservation of her culture and people.
She has been recently accused by her daughter of being a demon in disguise.
Princess Vyl: Considered a little on the tall side (6’2”) and more lithe and seductive than her mother, this woman is no less respected by her people for her fiery passion and talent for making others see her way. With dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a Hispanic ethnicity, many would consider her a perfect example of what exotic gems lie within the Amazonian Jungles.
She has recently accused her mother of being a demon in disguise.
Cultural
Matriarchs: Where most societies are either gender neutral or male-dominated, this civilization has traditionally been ruled by women. Each tribe has a head mistress, and in turn each of these report to the royalty of the Amazons during times of conflict or desperation. Of note: Where most societies determine royalty purely by heredity means, the Amazonian Matriarchy determines it both through hereditary means and mastery of the art of passion. Passion in this case referring to any strong emotional act: War, artistry, lovemaking, and more. Thus, someone can "earn" their way into royalty through sufficient skill and emotional display.
Men in this society, whilst not entirely a secondary citizen group, tend to the more passive and submissive roles in society, such as basket-weaving and knitting, child care, and more. While warrior men are not entirely unheard of they're a definite rarity, as the Amazons tend to look down on them as being unreliable for long-term familial bonds.
Passionate People: There is nothing more important to this society than seeing passionate emotions in others. Whilst they respect power and discipline, passion is what they live and die for. Passion as defined by them is putting great emotional investment and pride into one’s works. If there is a blemish in a piece of artwork, they repair it. If there is a flaw in a fighting technique, it must be remedied. There is no such thing as “good enough” to these people, there is always room for improvement.
The more emotionally stirring the act is, the more likely it is to be labeled as a passionate act.
Names: There are no family names in this society. Just a person’s chosen profession and a first name. Examples include Queen Moira, or Hunter Lyra.

Locations
The Meeting Ground: A simple place located within the southern portions of the jungle near the blood river used for most meetings with foreigners. The Jungle here was cleared out to some extent to allow campsites to be set up. It's relatively safe from the monstrosities lying within the jungle... Relatively being the key word, as there is a near constant level of guards here, even when no meetings are taking place.
Where it is precisely is anyone's guess. It's hard enough to map the world with primitive tools, leave alone the Amazonian jungle. Often guides are sent to help foreigners even locate this place without being ambushed and killed by predators.
