Ortus Tatravellan
Truestone Consul
A particularly obstinate member of the Alarith temple in Ymetrica’s Glib Stretch region, Ortus Tatrevellan has had a hand in securing several Lumineth cities and outposts over his brief 170-year career. More than an unyielding combatant, he also serves as an envoy for the Alarith, establishing contact with mountain spirits and mountain-dwelling mortals in realms beyond Hysh. The Glib Stretch’s Stonemage has recently tasked him with establishing connections in the Heaving Mountains of Ghyran.
Prior to arriving in The Lustrare River Valley, he was renowned in Chamon for establishing an unusual truce between Lumineth prospectors and the Bronzebite Mawtribe who dwell in the region. Shortly after their arrival, the Alarith Stoneguard and Mawtribe each developed a grudging respect (or the closest feeling to respect with which an aelf can regard an ogor) for the other’s monumental durability during their initial skirmishes.
After determining it would be impossible to rout the ogors from the area with their current numbers, Ortus approached their immense tyrant Garrul Bronzebitten to establish a mutually-beneficial trade deal. After all, what happens to the corpses and inferior equipment of the human, duardin, or beastman the Lumineth would slay in establishing their new territory would be of little concern to them.
Drothgar Lodge
As news of a contract for an incursion into the plains of the Hungering Steppe, issued by a local tribe’s chieftain, reached Lofnir, Barlimn Ironhewer undertook the rite to take the Grimnirr name and start his own lodge. So starts the folly of the Drothgar Lodge. Taking this opportunity to settle in Ghur looking for Magmadroths’eggs is an idea with a few supporters. That Ghur would be a good realm to search for monster eggs and recover Grimnirr’s essense isn’t a crazy notion, but everything else is. Who better to tame the Steppe than the stout local breed of Fyreslayers? There surely is a reason for the absence of any proiminent lodges in that region. Where there is a risk, there is opportunity.
Barlimn Grimnirr
Son of Groimn, fifth head of the Ironhewer family. Brought honor and renown to the family name in Lofnir by acquiring, hatching and raising 4 magmadroths under his guidance and bringging in a good, although less impressive, amount of ur-gold. He rides Slarrack into...
The Brinewood Coven
A ship mistress of Varkos Varactyr’s Wraith fleet, Bellatash, arrived in Ghur through a realm gate she inadvertently sailed into in Aqshy. Now known as the “Maelstrom Rift”, this realm gate swirls around the oceans of both realms, moving from place to place as an everlasting storm.
Bellatash found a fishing village in decline upon exiting the Maelstrom Rift and soon bled her way through the village, sating her hunger. On the cliffs above the the village sat an ancient stone lighthouse. Bellatash claimed the lighthouse keeper as her thrall, giving him the gift of half life and the necrotic arts.
Bellatash has since made the lighthouse her base of power, dubbing it the Crimson Spire and constructing a chair of driftwood and bone in it’s main hall. Bellatash preys upon the nearby shipping lanes, using the lighthouse beacon as a lure, growing her raised legions and looking for suitable candidates to expand her court.
