DESTINY~THE COMING STORM



Iesone.
A strange and mysterious realm far to the Southern Hemisphere.
This land is rich, fertile, and littered with treasures of old and secrets beyond a mans wildest dreams.But it is also home to terrible monsters and hostile races which guard over this ancient land with a vigor no King or Emperor can inspire.

Despite this, Human and Dwarven settlers through the decades have chosen to settle here and build villages and large city states.With this the leaders of these great cities formed powerful armies and built massive defensive measures to protect and maintain their territories and settlements.Though occasional disputes between cities and clans would break out there has not been a war in the land of Iesone for over one hundred years now.The Human and Dwarven cities have all managed to maintain peace and civility with one another though there are bitter rivalries between certain cities.

Despite the shaky peace amongst the cities they are all faced with common foes.
To the South, the dark skinned Elven race known as the Drow lay siege to the Southern settlements,raiding and attacking unexpectedly, attempting to drive off the Humans and reclaim their ancestral lands.
To the West, the primitive and barbaric Lacertae, or Lizard Men, skirmish with the Dwarves in efforts to drive them away from the marshes they call home, marshes that the Dwarves believe to be rich with precious metals and jewels.
Deep within the caves of the Northern and Eastern Mountains, the Goblins and Orcs are constantly feuding with one another for control of the rich mountains, all the while keeping the Human and Dwarven miners and explorers at bay.
Despite decades of skirmishing with such formidable foes, the city states have managed to maintain their freedom and time and again have driven off these vile attackers.

However, little known to the peoples of Iesone, a new foe rides on the northern horizon, a massive horde of warrior nomads known as the Sagai.Powerful, merciless, and skilled in the arts of war, the Sagai are a people who bring bloodshed, terror, and misery to every realm they cross.
Leaving behind only terrified stragglers to tell the tale.
Soon this once peaceful land, that has not seen war in over a century, will soon be consumed by the fires of conflict....

===============================================================

Humans-Humans immigrated to Iesone a decade or so just after the Drawves, around two hundred years ago.They immigrated from many different lands and countries in all directions.
Some were settlers and explorers while some were exiles or bloodbath refugees.
Most human city states are built in the South, Southeast, and East, in territories such as Rathikun, Scassia, Alenius, and Telmarion.Their economy and way of life revolves mostly around farming, fishing, and livestock breeding.
The majority of their cities and cultures represent early medieval Northern Europe and Mediterranean nations such as England, France, Sicily, Spain, and Venice.

Dwarves-Drawves were the first to immigrate to Iesone two centuries ago after their united clan kingdom was conquered and wiped out by the Orc hordes far to North.
They settled mostly to the West and North within the territories of Nash, Orog, Windemere, and Iruladdun.
Their economy and way of live is mostly centered around hunting and mining, and trading furs, jewels, and metals with Human city states in exchange for foods and other goods.
Dwarves are excellent fighters and well disciplined in battle.
They value honor and victory most of all in combat, and though fierce fighters, respect their enemies and never underestimate them.
Dwarves are noble and proud, and very intelligent.
Their life span usually ranges from 100-130.

Drow/Dark Elves-The Drow inhabit the Southern territories of Raeldar, Cawanor, and parts of Alenius.For decades they have been feuding with the Humans for total control of Alenius and Scassa.Unlike the Humans and Drawves they dwell deep within the forests and high mountains of the Southern Territories only and nowhere else.Their homes are deep within the bowels of the forests and mountains and are much like long houses, some of their homes are made of trees and logs themselves, molded into house shapes and structures.As a race they are united, they have no states or tribes or independent factions.
They believe the Humans will eventually intrude upon their lands and slaughter them all to gain them for themselves, and so therefore have been feuding with them for decade after decade to keep them away.
They like the Dwarves are vicious in battle yet noble and believe in honor and virtue.
Though prideful like the Dwarves many would perceive them as arrogant and elitist.
They range from 5'10 to 6'4 in height, they have charcoal black skin, red sparking eyes, and Snow White hair.
Drow are substantial magic users, said to be twice as magic capable as the most advanced human magician.
A Drow's lifespan usually ranges from 800-1000 years.
baldursgate.wikia.com/wiki/Drow?file=M..

Lacertae/Lizard Men-The Lacertae, or Lizard Men as the Dwarves call them, are a hostile and barbaric race that reside in the marshes of Thalreth, Windermere, and Nash.
They live in small scattered villages which are usually fenced in and consist of mud huts and lean-to's which act as their dwellings.
Each separate village has a crest or banner which each village member has branded on their chest or back when they come of age at 15.
They speak using a language of hisses, grumbling, hacking, and snorts.
They usually stand around six foot tall on average, both male and female.
Females are a lighter grass green and males are a dark seaweed green.
As for clothing they ware very little, generally leggings and a loin cloth.
Their method of fighting is very guerrilla like, relying on ambushes and fast attacks by small groups rather than large battles or sieges.
They have been skirmishing with each other and the Dwarves as well over control of the Western territories for decades.
Their life span ranges from 70-100 years.
Unlike the Humans, Dwarves, and Drow, they have absolutely no magical ability whatsoever.
Why though has never been determined, presumably because they lack either the intelligence or have not been exposed enough to magic to understand it.

Orcs-Like the Lacertae, the Orcs are barbaric creatures.However they are actually far more intelligent and advanced than the Lacertae, their weapons and equipment are more modern and so are the ways of war.They primarily dwell in the Northern and Eastern Mountains bordering the Uzgob Desert.
Like the Lacertae they are separated into tribes and clans and live in huts, tents, and lean-to's.They live in villages consisting between eight hundred and two thousand Orcs.
Though several of the Orc clans war with one another they are mostly unified and live in peace.They primarily war with the Goblins, Humans, and Dwarves.
They are extremely vicious, without mercy, and what prisoners they do take are usually used as slave labor and servants.
They are not above using trickery and deception in battle.
They like the Lacertae are not the least bit skilled with magic as a rule.
Their life span ranges 60-80.
lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Lurtz?file=Lurtz_2..

Goblins-Goblins are small, dumb brutes of creatures, that are usually the same size as a Dwarf.The tallest Goblin ever seen stood almost five foot tall.
They have sickly yellow skin, absolutely no body hair whatsoever, and are usually bald as well,
though some occasional goblins do grow small beards and head hair.
Their weapons are basic, consisting of clubs, pikes, and stone hatchets.
They speak a chittering squeaking language like monkeys.
They live in caves and tunnel systems mainly, though have been known to construct small huts and tents to live in.
They live primarily in the Northern and Eastern Mountains and are the most common for of the Orcs.Though small and brutish they make up for this in number, known to live in colonies as big as 10,000 in the higher mountains.
Although they have supposedly been spotted roaming around Orog and Rathikun.
Their life span is 50-60 years.
They are capable of only simple magics.

Nelwyns-Nelwyns are small Gnome like people that resemble Dwarves but are several inches shorter, being the shortest race to hail from Iesone.
They only live on the coastal islands of Akki and Urmi.
They live in small hamlets and communities scattered all across the islands and dwell in small log cabin type houses, they are extremely advanced and very intelligent and are excellent engineers and craftsmen.
They are extremely proud and albeit spunky for their small size.
Unlike their Goblin and Dwarven counterparts they are practically docile, with only hunters and a few warriors acting as their protection.
They are quick to master magic as well, said to be on par with the Drow when it comes to magical ability.
Their life span is 75-90.

===============================================================

MONSTERS AND BEASTS

Dragon-Dragons are extremely rare creatures to see.In fact throughout the last two hundred years since the Dwarves arrived only three or so proven Dragon sightings have happened.One was by a merchant who's ship was passing by the mysterious Summer Islands.
Another was by a band of Knights who claimed to have seen it above the Southern Alenius Mountains.The third was by a group of miners who spotted it above the forest of Iraladunn.
These three were the only proven sightings.However the land is littered with their fossils and skeletons which are extremely valuable, much like ivory, only far more valuable than that.

Dracnae-Dracnae are vicious and deadly snake like beasts.They walk on four small feet which they can also use reliably for climbing.Their bodies are ten foot long, and snake like.
When pursuing prey, they fold their legs under their belly and dart across the grown using their scales just like a snake.Their feet are primarily for climbing.
The males are larger and stockier and are colored black and have yellow eyes.
The females are scarlet with emerald colored eyes.They have a row of sharp yet short teeth and two three inch fangs on both jaws which inject a deadly poison into their prey.
It can kill a man in fifteen minutes.Its a nervous toxin that has cruel effect on those injected with it,symptoms resemble those exposed to Sarin Gas.They are found only in Orog,Nash,Windermere, and Ralda.
They are known to cool up in shrubs and bushes and peso out at their prey ambushing it.
They feed primarily on small animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, and young children.
They are highly aggressive and very teritorial.

Marestrum-Though it is referring to a single dreaded sea monster that's said to live deep within the Irman Sea, it is a species of it's own that lives in the depths of the oceans far off the coasts out in the Unknown Waters.
Stories tell of a single Marestrum that lives in the center of the Irman Sea.
Though there are no confirmed sightings, many sailors and merchants in the last decade claim to have seen a massive shape too large for a whale or shark moving under the water, causing small waves the size of a castle.
Though it's not proven many prefer to stay close to the coast and take the longer way across the sea, as to avoid taking a chance of this creature being real.

Beholder-Beholders are a massive floating heads that have a single eye like a cyclops and a large mouth with three rows of shark like teeth.
They have seven long tentacles protruding from the back of their heads with a single large eyeball at the tip.
Beholders are extremely magic savvy, only the most advanced magicians can hope to defeat them.Though they are totally capable of all magics they predominantly use hypnosis and possession spells to enslave weak minded opponents.
They supposedly reside deep in the Forrest's of Legon and commonly enslave the Lizard Men as minions.
They are supposedly immortal though this has never been proven, they usually reside in caves and large long tunnels.

Ogres-Ogres are foul hideous beasts that stand around nine feet tall.They are usually very burly and in many cases rather obese.Their skin is a sickly pale color and they have no facial hair at all and are bald.They have a foul odor rivaling that of a bear.They usually travel in groups of two or three, and have commonly been seen in the deep forests of Scassia, Coruneon, and Iruladuun.They are highly aggressive and will pursue their pray for miles if possible, it has been proven that they will hunt and feast on humans.They commonly live in caves or dilapidated ruins.

===============================================================

MAGIC

Despite it's usefulness most of the peoples of the City States view wizards, mages, and shamans with great suspicion.Some in the small villages and towns even fear them, so much as to run and hide when facing them of attempt to chase them from the town via torches and pitchforks, in some cases literally.
Though there are witches and warlocks yes not all magic users are such beings and are not to he feared.However despite this the general public is terrified of magicians.In fact most magicians are usually socially rejected and in many cases hermits.
