Weapons

The Axe of a Thousand Dead

The Axe of a Thousand Dead is a bearded axe made entirely of iron, both the haft and the head are made out of solid iron.

Maia

There are no more intrinsic deities than Maia and Akar. Every sentient being—from the chaos giants to the smallest fae—pass from the fullness of life into the grey twilight of death. The inhabitants of Adylheim, however, could not treat these two gods more differently. Akar is revered and praised with feasts and sacrifices. His temples overflow with offerings from farmers, midwives, and the odd formerly-barren noble. In sharp contrast, invoking Maia’s name is considered an ill omen or curse.

The Great Vault and the Lost Treasure Fleet of Elron

In ancient times, before the rebellion of Robin the Black, and when it seemed no power under heaven could unseat the emperor, the teachings of Elron followed the frontiers of Arameia and grew strong in the domains of the first wealthy traders. It is said that before others even thought of crossing the Great Sea, the followers of Elron turned their eyes toward the horizon, dreaming of an empire across the water where they could trade for unheard of treasures.

Today, even the Maradin say the Great Sea stretches as far as they know. But it is believed that once, long ago, some of Elron’s followers became so enchanted of the sea’s potential that they joined with the servants of Erina to tame the waves in a way never known before or since. With their combined skill, they created ships capable of going far out to sea when no one else could. Their methods were hidden from all, with only the greatest shipwrights working under the direction of only the wisest and most powerful members of each religion.

Drakes are among the fiercest inhabitants of the Ribs, these huge, winged reptiles are not to be trifled with. Drakes are among the largest creatures in Adylheim capable of unassisted flight. They are fiercely intelligent, territorial and menacing.
