Everyday Magic

This article concerns the impact magic has on the daily lives of the inhabitants of Adylheim, explaining the various definitions of magic and also explaining some of the major ways in which Adylheim separates itself from the real world.

The Geography of Aram

This article details a lot of the architectural features of Aram and how they came to be the way they are today.

The Foundations of Aram

Aram was built on six hills, five of which are to the north of the Ellum, the river which crosses through the southern part of the city. The main city has always been north of the Ellum, with the administration and important buildings having always been located there. South of the Ellum, the Dolhum hill and the docks make up most of the markets and trade in Aram.

Sensitives

A very small percentage of the population of Adylheim are particularly sensitive to changes in the mood of Adylheim and may see apparitions and portents that others do not, these people are called Sensitives and this article is about them.

Introduction

The term Sensitives is something of a catch all term, referring to those among the normal populace that somehow have senses beyond the norm. As a result of this, they may perceive the dreams of others, see the recently deceased or other, stranger, things.

Sekkumaya

This article deals with Sekkumaya, a spiritualistic philosophy that is rather obscure in comparison with the rest of the religious system of Adylheim. It is mainly practiced in the southern fiefdoms, though its monastaries are scattered all throughout the country.

As recited by the bard Petrosius Ulsnesos

Beyond the seas,
Aloft the tallest the mountain,
laid a place sprawling with life
as water in a fountain.

The people had nothing to fear,
no danger ever got near,
the gods protected them like a faithful guard dog
until one child got lost, blind man in the fog.
