Farliana

Tideswept is a religious land that is ran by two great houses. One house lives for the sea, investing in education and magic pursuing new technology using the water, The other is very traditional and looks inland for its resources, culture and faith. Once at war, these houses have held a pact of peace for 800 years after the battle of the tides almost wiped them both out forever.

Stonepath is the Big city, with large isolating walls and grey architecture. Twisted by political corruption stonepath has descended into a area little like but many love. Where the rich and powerful thrive the weak and poor struggle to get on each day. As the common folk grow tired of the blind eye the politicians and wealthy have shown them a rise in theft and crime has made this place dark even on the brightest summers day.

Linkerfell is the centre piece of Farliana. the body of the butterfly. Filled with canals and beaches. This area is everything stonepath is not. A well looked after place that is welcoming and full of respect and manners. However due to its location its one fault is that everyone and everything travels through linkerfell and with these travelling winds brinds storms the like most people would rather not be apart of. Full of trading and storytelling this vibrant canal filled region is a blessing and a curse, which and when is only decided by timing.

Windswept is a mountain range region full of dwarven mines and cities, and Aarakakran villages and towns all sketched into the mountains. This region is barely traversable without a guide, but the people who stay here either stay amongst the peaks or dive into its depths so one is hard to come by. And deep into the north west volvanos spew yearly in a land that most people never see and never wish to.

The outer lands is split into two parts. The noble wallkeepers, and the outlaws and exiles. once a vast dessert now a regional prison. Most crinimals and people outcast by society are left on the wrong side of the wall which is guarded by a noble brotherhood who give up their livelihoods to protect the realm from whats within. Inside the walls however might not be as terrible as it seems. or at least not all of it. Full of Pyramids,ancient buildings and arenas, the people who live here have learnt to adapt to its harsh conditions. Populated by Slavers, Goblins and gladiators.

Sienne is the main antagonist of the campaign. She is a resurrected Water Ghanasi who led the army of the depths in the battle of the tides hundreds of years prior to when the campaign is set. A mysterious cult has formed and at the 'Aquaous Spectacle' performed a dark blood ritual to summon her and her water dragon 'dredghorath' from the dead. Sienne seeks only one things. To drown the world and reclaim her sea throne.

Captain Ansolo is the King of the pirates and is looked at as clumsy and forgetful. Captain of the Green Mist he has held peace between the inlanders and the pirates for over 30 years. Although he seems clumsy and silly Ansolo is actually extremely intelligent and plays into this perception in order to be overlooked as he is involved in a mysterious secret plot full of prophecy. This plot ties Ansolo to the events that follow the resurrection of Sienne but for good or bad reasons is unknown to all.

Greedbeard the Forgotten is Ansolo's first mate and has spent his pirating years under Ansolo's reign feeling overlooked and underapreciated. Greedbeard is secretly plotting to embark on an expidition to retrieve the Sunken Pearl. The Sunken Pearl is a pearl that is hidden by the current Pirate king at Sea and is the only way a Pirate may take claim to the throne before or after the kings death.

Jermalious is a great wizard who has spent his years learning water magic and reading histories of Farliana. He is a true noble and honourable man who seeks to rid the world of darkness and maintain peace where possible. He is linked to the 'drowning' which is a dark prophecy pursued by Sienne to achieve her ultimate goal. He has secretly been involved in the 'salt faces' cult to uncover the dark secrets of this prophecy in order to prevent this from ever happening. Jermalious is Paurelia's twin brother and the twins are condemed to a corrosive curse that effects there physical health based on the environments they are most used to. Because Jermalious is so heavily linked with water magic, Sea history and the Tideswept region, he is dutifully condemed to decay for pursuing what he believes is the right thing to do.

Paurelia is a evil slaver who has risen to great power in the outer lands. this region has been walled off and is full of exiles and evil beings as a place for them to die due to the extremely dry and unlivable conditions. Despite this Paurelia has flourised in this land after willingly entering it. He is a master manipulator and leader of the battle arenas and believes this regions coast is linked to the sunken pearls location. Because of his time in the outer lands and his family curse he is slowly decaying, this has made Paurelia desperate and has become unpredicatable. He believes if he can find the Sunken Pearl and take the Pirate throne he can balance his curse between the sea and the outer lands giving him a long and powerful life.

Dredghorath is a undead water dragon. Many many years ago he terrorized the sea untamed and ill tempered. until one day the first female Pirate Queen Sienne performed a evil sacrifice of her entire crew four times to tame the beast.

Now Sienne and Dredghorath are reborn and are building there strength in pursuit of power and destruction.

Silvanus is an Albino born bastard. His father is a highborn lord who fell in love with a cocoa bean farmer on a peace expidition that took him away from his wife and family for 5 years. Silvanus's mother mysteriously died on the journey home alongside the entire ship she was travelling on due to Redscale blight. Silvanus was the only survivor and rumours of a cursed albino babe spread across the lands. This condemned Silvanus to a life of exclusion and discrimination. Silvanus ran away at 15 and joined the ranks of a goods exporter and anti-pirate crew. He slowly worked his way up and became the first mate after 3 hard fought years at sea.
