Continents

Mahnu

Mahnu is a continent widely considered to be the most mysterious of them all. While there are many other continents, some more sacred and well known, little-explored Mahnu has always had an aura of mystique about it.

Cities:

Jarunga: The biggest City in Mahnu, This city is built in the middle of the massive Lake of Souls. The city is built on an island, with many bridges leading out to floating segments of the City. In the Center of the city is a titanic ziggurat, called the Shrine of the Broods. The city was built and has been ruled by 5 united tribes of Lizardfolk. The tribes share a faith in animism, a healthy fear of outsiders, and a respect for each other’s tribes and customs. Tribes are free to intermingle and marry between each other,as diversity in hatchlings and culture has bound the Lizardfolk close. A massive Water Orm, named Mlinzi wa Mito, has dwelled in the Lake of Souls, and is hailed as a guardian and protector by the Lizardfolk.

Bandu-Terwa: Bandu-Terwa is a desolate place. Half consumed by the cursed river Ukar, and long considered to be cursed by the Lizardfolk of Jarunga, and scorned by the Human and Gnomish Tribesfolk of the River Lahun, Bandu-Terwa had seen no inhabitants of civilization to speak of. Until recently. Rumors have begun to emerge, Of masked robed things raising the dead, and worshipping demons in foul rituals. Screams and bone chimes have kept most visitors away, and the 15 missionaries sent by the outside world, all of their flayed corpses have hung from its massive gates of carved stone and bone.

The Doorway to the Beyond: This massive archway of unknown origin, is rumored by many to lead to a strange and unfamiliar world. Several tribes of Anadi have become wardens of the gate, Protecting it from those who would abuse its power, Though they also are protecting the world from whatever could come through the gate.

The Uovo: The Uovo is a portion of the Jungle

Läuf

Lauf is located just East of Mahnu on the world map. Considered by many to be the center of the world, Lauf is a hub for trade, technology, and most importantly mail. Lauf is the holy land of the Couriers, the mail men and women of the world. They keep the imports and exports running smoothly and safely.

There is only one city on Lauf, and it is referred to as such. There is no need for it to have a unique name as it is the only one. When one is going to Lauf, they are going to the city that it harbors, not just to the island.

Lauf is very advanced in terms of its technology. Engineering and the arcane arts have been combined. Artificers have borrowed spell-charged items from wizards and sorcerers to create new “demitech” with a process known as demicraft.

One may find themselves riding on a mag-train throughout the vast city while another may be riding a lackadaisical hover platform to reach a closer destination. Technology has been ingrained into the lives of the Couriers and few other people that reside in Lauf, and it is the reason that so many make trips there.

The bustling economy of Lauf is what helped it reach the high tech standard that it has. Constant trade of ideas and resources has pushed it to be leaps and bounds ahead of the other civilizations of the world. The process and ideas of Demicraft is kept under lock and key by those who live on Lauf. It is there solely for their use and the enjoyment of those who visit.

There is a grand statue of Laufer in the center of Lauf. No one knows how it got there, many believe it was there before even the city was, some speculate that that statue is the reason for Lauf’s name and its significance to the Couriers.

Random Locations

Name:

Place:

Type:

Owner/Lord:

Desc:

Name: Xijing

Place: Slums of a Large Eastern City

Type: Slums

Owner/Lord: Lau Hudang (human)

Desc: These slums are ruled by four gangs: Black Lotus, White Flies, Blue Street, and Red Hogs. Lau Hudang is part of the Red Hogs, and is considered the most notorious men in all of Xijing. This man can be identified by his velvet red suit and eye-patch, and his chilling catchphrase “May the Hogs be kind to you in the afterlife.” Even mentioning the man’s name can be dangerous, as small Red Hog spies are sprinkled throughout the city. Rumor has it he has a green-gemmed ring that can see people’s fate, which is one of the main excuses why he has so much influence in the city. The Black Lotus and White Flies have made small packs in order to try and take down Hudang, but due to infighting and various sabotages from other gangs, they have never been able to mobilize properly. The Blue Streets are a secretive group that is known for their underground actions. A member can only be identified by a small blue bracelet somewhere on their body, and are led by a woman they call their “Heroine.” Only high ranking Blue Streets can identify her, as she lives a normal life in her freetime.

The slums and general area is densely populated and run down. There are Red Hog banners everywhere, acting as propaganda. Prositution and other ill-considered careers are common practice among the streets, some even charge various prices depending on the customer’s filiation. The buildings are incredibly packed together and are stacked upon one another to make a large web of concrete. To traverse the city is incredibly difficult, only inhabitants can truly conquer the maze the city has become over the years. Even the city officials have abandoned the city, as they see it as a lost cause.

Name: Fathe Seequie

Place: Smallish City/Big Village

Type: Small Gambling Hall

Owner/Lord: Sylph of the Broken Moon (half-elf)

Desc: Fathe Seequie, or Fate Seekers in elven is a small gambling hall on the outskirts of some village or small city. The word of Sirin of the Broken Moon has been sprinkled throughout Golarian. Hardened warriors, adventurers, nobles seeking an active life, or anyone seeking a better hand dealt to them by the Gods can follow Sirin’s wisdom. This small gambling inn is a place where people can exchange stories and information, party up, or test their fate through luck. Sirin’s wisdom describes a method to test a predetermined fate, and this is with luck. Most followers use luck to help with tough decisions, but some use it as an excuse to gamble. Sylph was abandoned as a child and became determined to change the fate dealt to her by the Gods. As a way to spread her teachings and create a haven for people to also claim their fates she created this small gambling house. The House has various tables for rolling dice, a small bar run by a man named Zoo, and a small upper floor for warry adventurers to rest. While Sylph isn’t fully content that her religion was turned into a small gambling ring, she knows that this is just a potential trap placed by the Gods to keep lesser minded people in their fate. She knows true seekers of the Broken Moon will rise out of this fate and push into a life they truly desire.

Name: Kitsune Keep

Place: Eastern Planes or Outskirts of a Forest

Type: Small Community/Village

Owner/Lord: Fliche Fern (Kitsune)

Desc: Kitsune Keep is a small kitsune village on the outskirts of a forest or laid out across some plains. The village is small, as it is designed and built by small creatures. The inhabitants of this village are Kitsune in their fox forms. The residents of Kitsune Keep only transform into humans for emergencies. There are bridges and tunnels connecting the buildings, benches and small climbing gyms for young kitsune to play and practice their skills. The chief is Fliche Fern, of the Fern Clan, which is a prominent and well known Kitsune Clan in the area. They are identified with a small fern pin on their vest or cavalier hats. They are a peaceful city but are defensive towards outsiders. It wouldn’t be wise to stay a night in this city as it’s not made for medium creatures.

Name: Jeanne’s Arc

Place: In some dry or vast area, maybe desert or dry lands

Type: Large Broken Boat

Owner/Lord: Jeanne Roy (deceased)

Desc: This mysterious broken ship lies in the middle of nowhere. The ship is massive and made of wood, its splintered planks are spread across the whole general area. People in the area can follow the trail of broken wood and ship parts and devices until they stumble upon this attraction. The boat is inhabited by some undead pirates or creatures of the desert. Some small rewards can be found in the boat, as well as animal bones or creature tusks/claws that could be sold for gold. Ivory, gems and other specs of gold can be found here as well. The ship itself has a handful of floors and compartments, some with traps set by previous beings that inhabited the boat after it crashed way out in the middle of nowhere. Residual conjuration magic can be found scattered all over the ship, perhaps from some plane shift or teleport spell from a distant past. At the hull of a ship is a man draped in blue and white with a large white tricorn. In his arms, he clutches a self-portrait painting labeled: “Jeanne Roy: may his sails stay wet with the ocean’s breeze forever.”

Name: Where The Sidewalk Ends

The outside has some wooden spikes meant for tying mounts and a large sign reads “Where The Sidewalk Ends” hangs from some roop and clatters slowly against the pole that hoists it up in the air. Inside is a small open space, with dark wooden floors and old chairs and tables. The only sound of this place is the wisping of dust and sand. Some tables have old green felt peeling up from the surface, perfect for playing with cards or dice. The left side of the bar is one long booth that slumps at the end into a large crack. A man sits at one of the tables with felt shuffling and playing cards by himself, humming sweet tunes. The man wheres a large white and yellow duster, and large brown boots. On his hip is a large bottle of whisky, he would occasionally tap while thinking. The bar itself has various dusty bottles and glasses lined up. Some are already pre-poured, but who knows from how long ago.

Name: Bladesfall

Place: Mountainside

Type: Fort/Keep

Owner/Lord: Jarl Tabris, and the Tabris Family (Human/Half-Orc)

Desc: Bladesfall is a small fort built into the mountainside, named after the various swords plunged into the ground on the outside of the fort. Every time a soldier or warrior dies in Bladesfall, their weapon is collected and plunged into the soil. This keep is mostly vertical, with one main entrance blocked by a tall iron portcullis, but only wide enough to let people in single file. Inside the walls reach up to the sky, with narrow passages and spiral stone stairs leading up to the higher levels. The peasants of Bladesfall use terrace farming up and around the mountain for sustenance. The keep is also a safe haven for half-orcs and humans who have been driven out of their homes from orcs and other beasts in the area. The banner of Bladesfall is a large sword in the ground, most of the guards and people fly this banner with honor.

Name: Bag o’ Bolts

Place: The Alley of A Large City

Type: Bar

Owner/Lord: Gere 12 (Android)

Desc: In some alley in a large city lies the Bag o’ Bolts, the 24/7 Machine Bar. To enter, a person must have an access card, or enter a specific plug into the door, a cord commonly found with most androids. Androids are most welcome here, as the food and drink and atmosphere is all for androids. The stench and noxious gas would be toxic for organic life unless they had a precaution, something simple like tying a rag around their face would do, unless it was in the middle of the night. At night the bar is most busy, and is very toxic to organic life. The bartender and owner, Gere 12, is a robot whose bottom half is ingrained into the bar itself. The layout is of a typical bar, with various androids sitting, chatting, gambling, and smoking. The drinks and foods there are probably edible to organic life, but would be unwise to eat.

Name: Doumbek & Djembe

Place: In a large village or small city

Type: Shop

Owner/Lord: Doumbek & Djembe

Desc: This noisy shop is run by two halfling brothers, one short and stump named Doumbek, and the other tall and skinny named Djembe. They each have bronze skin and blonde hair. The bard brothers sell musical instruments for passersby and other well-known musicians in the area. Their shop isn’t first rate, but has some renown in the local area. The brothers perform in ceremonies for the townsman and events such as weddings and funerals.

Name: Kaermeda Grove

Place: East of Absalom

Type: Forest

Owner/Lord: Spirit

Desc: This grove is a winding and whimsical maze, that is a tourist attraction for those coming to the center of the world. The outskirts of the grove are loved by many, people host celebrations and weddings in the beautiful forest. The trees are mostly warped and have gaping holes that children or travelers can climb into for a nap. The outside has a lovely mist and fragrance that keeps people cool on hot days. However, those who know the area know to stay clear of the inner heart of the forest. Sightings of hanging nooses and large claw marks and webs can be found on the various trees deep in the forest. Suicide is common in this forest, as the sweet scents of the trees easies the minds and senses of those who die. Some toys and child possessions are found in the holes of the trees deep in the forest. The forest is horridly foggy, and its rich aroma can be nauseating the deeper you travel into the forest. Locals and skeptics also speak of a spirit of the woods, the legend says that the wondrous fragrance of the forest emits from the spirit as it consumes those who travel too deep. The stronger the aroma, the more the spirit has consumed. The forest can be navigated by experts however, if precautions are taken to counter the strong smells, and if people can climb to the tops of trees to see the stars at night, they can navigate the forest. If someone wanted to climb a tree, it could be very easy or very hard, as the trees are all warped in various ways, some trees are easy to climb while others aren’t. The forest holds many treasures of those who used it for suicide, or lost their lives also seeking treasures.

Name: The Moon’s Grave

Place: Near the High Ice

Type: Ravine/Portal to Positive Energy Plane

Owner/Lord: Yiq Nii (Astomoi) / Cryion (Ancient Lunar Dragon)

Desc: This place is a gash in the material plane that is a gate to the positive energy plane. The area can be seen near the High Ice as a blinding light, inhabitants of the High Ice call it the Iced Sun. Over The Moon’s Grave is a constant aurora that dazzles in the never-ending night sky. Beings sometimes slip through The Moon’s Grave, and taint the land with pure positive energy. Things like jyotis and young lunar/ice dragons roam the skies. People who travel here need to take extreme caution so as to not be blasted away by the positive energy. There are even side effects of being near The Moon’s Grave, such as reverse aging, which causes perpetual negative levels and unbirth. Tribes around The Moon’s Grave have adapted to this, and are all noticeably young, yet are immortal as the energy keeps them in a young state their whole lives. Yiq Nii and his companion Cryion are the lords of The Moon’s Grave, and regulate the beings who leak through the gate to the other plane.

Name: Tabath

Place: deep in the marshes/swamp

Owner/Lord: Grimmik of the Claw (orc)

Desc: The orcish settled land of Tabath. Rich with nutrients from the lagoons sentiment and minerals which have settled into the mucky shores for decades. Orc pioneers from Atan, who were pushed out of various caravans and settlements traveled west in search for freedom and new beginnings. Pushed past the marshes of Salk, picking up new members of Salk who want to flee from the disease and turmoil. The Orcs, after a long journey were taken in by welcoming, yet xenophobic Orc natives who’ve lived in the Tabath region for years. The Natives of Tabath, The Tabathese, began to teach the new settlers their ways. The Marshes of Tabath are home to large aquatic life, most abundantly the Ranina Ranina Crabs. Large crabs, 10ft long, 7ft across with claws that weigh hundreds of pounds. The Tabathese domesticated these crabs and used them for farming, meat, and war. They mount said crabs with large saddles, enough to fit 3-5 men. Crabs can pull giant plows to till soil, as well as various carriages containing goods and tactiles. Ranina Ranina Crabs can be used for meat as well, sometimes if a crab worked well in its life and was well respected, the tip of it’s claws would be crafted into drinking horns used by the natives during celebrations. The crabs also have the ability to cut down trees in a single clamp of its claws, making them excellent for lumbering. Most dangerously, these crabs can be used for war. Whether it be mounted soldiers with bows, crossbows and pollarms, or the crabs themselves, these things were living tanks. Some even have large ballistas fastened to their back, crafted from the growing hemp around the marsh. Tabath stands strong with its native culture and open arms to Orcs in need. Outsiders are frowned upon and heavily watched. They’ve been many times in the past where foreigners with malice intent have been executed via “La Garra.” The people unfortunate enough to be sentenced to this fate are force fed a large amount of heavily dyed blue and green rice, then tied at the stake (usually a freshly cut log). The chief's prize Ramina Ramina would then cut the stake and the prisoner in half, exploding the area with dyes and blood. The Tabathese are strong willed people, who have known only pain and courage. Those who visit must tread carefully if they wish to not face the might of the Ramnina Ramina.

Name: Escadar

Place: North of Absalom on the island of Kortos

Type: Large City

Owner/Lord: Aqua of the Deep Fin (gillman), with a council of other gillman

Desc: The aquatic city of Escadar has been flooded for decades now. Gillman has taken over the city as the water level rises, thus leading to racial tensions between the humans and gillman. The city itself is led by gillman, as it did for a while now. The humans of Escadar were content or irritated by their leaders, but the gillman began to push into Escadar more and more. The city itself is a maze of rivers and aqueducts, most residents use small boats to get from place to place. Towards the North Coast there is also large underwater infrastructure, with tubes and swimways for fast movement between building to building. The underwater portion of Escadar, named Irvin, is where most of the gillman live. Irvin can be traversed by non-aquatic life using the various tubes or suits available for purchase, however it could be very dangerous. The racial tensions between gillman and humans in Escadar could lead to some unwanted attention or suit sabotage.

The main city itself however is quite beautiful, with booming streets and vendors selling aquatic goods. There are large fishing ports and ferrymen who are willing to take people to the mainland for the right price. The city itself is a little pricey, especially for inns or food, the cheapest options for people to stay are small pods that hold 3-4 people near the shore.

Aqua of the Deep Fin is the queen of Escadar, a beacon who gives gillman hope. Granted she doesn’t dislike humans, but her bias towards gillman or other aquatic races are clear. She fights with a trident and a large net.

The Underground Canal is a small human resistance group that wants to take back their land and push the gillman back into the sea. They mostly dislike gillman and would use whatever means necessary to win back their city.

Bycrest:

Bycrest is very well known across Wysteria. The main reason for this is that it’s a haven for druids, shamans, and hunters alike. Due to a cataclysmic event during the previous civilization’s rule, Bycrest now suffers from Mana Overflow; a disease discovered early in colonization of Wysteria where the mana in the environment seeps into the bodies of those living there and cuts off their souls from the physical plane. The denizens of Bycrest are very easy to notice because of their massive enchanted tattoos that are placed on them at birth. These tattoos resemble vines, and grow with the person by absorbing more and more mana protecting the wearer.
