The Oreiad of the High Empire, Pt. 5 – Our Lady of Coldhearth and the Lyang Liutan Coven
Many Oreiad, pious and Manshrioi alike, died when the Dragonlord scoured the peaks, now controlled by the Dragonscarred of Godsreach, referred to by the Oreiad as the Wu Tzuzhou, or Witchcursed, for mastery of the Dragon of the Moon. But thousands more died trekking south as they fled the accursed region in search of a …
The Oreiad of the High Empire, Pt. 4 – The Shi Cei Qoji of the Salt Crags
Atop the sheer cliffs that rise dramatically from the western shores beneath the Savage Sea, looming over the King of the Coin’s quaint nation of traders and sellswords, the Shi Cei Qoji Coven reigns with a dramatically iron grip in the name of their Empress. Called the Stonecutters by the Dragonscarred below, the Shi Cei …

The Oreiad of the High Empire, Pt. 3 – The Witch’s Spine
Central Ticonderos is dominated by dense temperate forests covering miles and miles of hill and short mountains converging into a single, massive mountain range that eventually grows too tall for even the trees to grow upon.

The Oreiad of the High Empire, Pt. 2 – The Covenant of Icethorn
Something is happening in the northern tundras of Ticonderos. The once-unshakeable Oreiad Empire is in chaos and no one knows what, why, or how. Already strained by chaos erupting in the Dhogem communities below them, the kingdoms of the Dragonscarred must also deal now with Oreiad fleeing a mysterious, frigid catastrophe taking place in the …

The Oreiad of the High Empire, Pt. 1 – Tyr Rin Zho, the Frozen Heart of the Oreiad Empire
Statuesque and cold, the Oreiad are an aloof people of a vast, ancient empire established in the frigid tundras of northern Ticonderos and spanning across the peaks and ridgelines of the continent’s imposing mountain ranges. They consider themselves above the petty squabbles of the Dragonscarred and have relatively little to no interaction with, and thus …
Dragonscarred of Ticonderos, Pt. 6 – Alo Pagtria, the Sovereign City-States of the Southern Desert
In the far south, beyond the reach of Ticonderos’ tallest, most treacherous mountains, lies the mysterious and scorching heat of the Kingdom of the Alo Pagtria. United by faith, by tradition, by loss, by perseverance and power of will, three once-independent city-states are now ruled by a fourth Sovereign State providing order, security, and prosperity …
Dragonscarred of Ticonderos, Pt. 5.5 – A Brief (ish) History of the Native Peoples of Ticonderos and the Founding of the Alo Pagtria.
Rallied together by millennia of tradition that had been trampled for centuries not only by the Dragonlord but other conquerors before him, the Alo Pagtria, a term that is used both to refer to the desert city-states in general but also to their people, redefined themselves in the spiritual iconography and heart of their native …
Dragonscarred of Ticonderos, Pt. 5 – Thanolund, the Kingdom of God atop a Cursed Mountain
Ticonderos is dominated by a range of perilous mountains that carve their way out of the northern tundras and stretch all the way into the southern desert, their huge, unforgiving crags reaching their claws near to every coastline on the continent. As such, precious little area is left for forests, plains, savannahs, or other more …
