Others claim there appearance is merely an adaptation to life in the cold, unforgiving lands of Estox. Many morfin scholars seek to uncover the true source of the origin of the morfin people, studying relics and documents passed down in family in secret. One of these discoveries is the morfin language, taught only to morfin and only spoken to in private. Even those who personally know morfin still cannot help feeling unnaturally uneasy in their presence. This has lead to the generally second class status morfin experience in Sundoran. In actuality, morfin are very social people, tending to group together, sharing information and teaching each others children.

Elves hold their position as guardians of the faith seriously. Although their zealousness against the forces of darkness is a boon to those that live in Ferro, there commitment has lead to unpopular acts such as the near eradication of arcane study and hesitation to accept other races into the order.

Garsem and his firepact endured much in there time on the tundra, trusting their lives to each other. Taking up the totem of the eagle, and watching over those he cares for, Garsem grew into a strong warrior. Upon returning to the city, Garsem was shocked to find that one of his fire-pact had lost his temper, and killed a man in a bar dispute. On that day, despite a heavy heart, Garsem set off across the tundra, to find his friend, and do what he must. His companions find him quiet and proud, only to be surprised by his ferocity in battle.

Without the knowledge to run magical devices that maintained the city climate, the newly freed roska were forced to survive in the brutal lands of Estox, only there fire wisps to keep themselves warm. One on the most striking aspects of the roska is the fire wisp. It is a direct reflection of the emotional well being of the processor, increasing in size and intensity in moments of great stress and determination, and shrinking down to a constant flame when calm. When a roska is sick, it's wisp may become pale and start to sputter.

Selkie Adventurers
Two sample Selkie adventurers are described below. Brandir Desole is a selkie warlord. The trickery an political positioning of the selkie families can sometimes be bloody. Brandir's family was one such causality. Framed for the murder of a high ranking official, the clan Desole was striped of all it's holdings and status, it's mansions thrown to ruin. Despite his dire straits, Brandir never lost his bright smile and poise. During a fierce battle with a group of sahuagin, Brandir was caught in a underwater current, and found himself washed up on the shores of Prodohara. Retaining much of his old court curtsey, Brandir quickly fell into the ranks of an adventuring party wandering through the savage coastline. All that occupies his thoughts are leading his new friends towards new glories. Marin Lalance is a selkie bard. Marin spent her formative years in taverns, flirting with the attractive men and listening awestruck to the stories being told by the traders. Eventually, Marin became bored with the same stories told night after night. One night, after a heavy round of drinking, the crew of a small fishing vessel awoke to find there craft missing. Marin had taken the ship and managed to sail north. Luck was on her side, and she was able to traverse the mordenstrum, arriving on the lands of Ferro, seeking new stories and adventures. Marin is capricious and naive, always willing to share a tale of lighten the mood with a joke. Although selkie humor doesn't always translated as well as she would like.

Charming by nature, selkie appreciate the value of a good joke or interesting conversation. They are quick to boast of there accomplishments as well as the deeds of there friends, making even the mundane seem like a stirring adventure. They are a species ruled by their feelings, not letting logic or obstacles get in the way of their achieving their desires. Selkie society is dominated by the Royal Court and the noble families the powerful families that make of the council members that advice the king. Pageantry is a way of life to the selkie. While open fighting is frowned upon, a family that fails to make a show of wealth and stability at a gala may be through of as weak and exploited by stronger families. While friendly and jovial on the surface, coercion and assassination are commonplace as each family strives to domineer it's enemies.

Notable Groups
The Church of the High Host: Few organizations exact there influence into the daily lives of
the people or Ferro as the church of the High Host. The host is coalition of several major religions who worship is overseen by a predominantly elven congregation. While organically a purely religious organization, the church have grown in power and exert control over over aspects of the laws of Ferro that many people think they have no business involved in.

The Blue Rose: The Blue Rose are a small collection of morfin admitted into the Church
of the High Host. The group is highly selective of its members and has existed in near secrecy scene the formation of the empire. In everyday church business they often serve as compassionate undertakers or any other jobs the church as a whole finds appropriate. The groups true purpose has been the preservation of church documents as well as being charged as the keepers of long forgotten lore . The Highblade: Beyond mere hired swords in employment of the church, The Highblade are a collection of elite soldiers dedicated to the preservation of the church and its laws as well as the eradication of any evil force that would threaten it. While there are some dissenters who would say that the Highblade are more interested in hassling shopkeepers working on holy days then plunging into real danger, worlds of the valency of the Highblade in the last war give the organization much coat among the people.

The Collective Order or Magi: With the near abolishment of arcane magic in Ferro, those
interested in pursuing the arcane arts were forced to meet in secret trading information between each other. Over time, these groups grew larger and the network grew wider, meeting late at night in abandoned buildings and never the same place twice. Eventually The Collective Order of Magi was established with the intent of preservation and sharing. While many of its members are merely hobbyists satisfied with learning the occasional cantrip, some members rise to prominence as skilled magicians. The symbol of The Collective Order is a circle circumscribed with a triangle which new members present to the doorman to gain admittance.

Susu United Trade League: Thriving in the last hundred years, The SUTL
has risen to become the largest corporation Sundoran has known. Coordinating trade routes for any number of items through the major cities of Ferro, Prodohara, Estox, and the Falling Leaf Isles, The trade league is estimated to have members in the thousands. It is not uncommon for boxes to be branded with the mark of a small red fox, their symbol.

The Sand Stalkers: An order of elite viashino assassins, The Sand Stalkers will accept any
contract providing the price is right. The group accept any viashino provided they pass a righteous screening process that culminates is being lead deep into the desert and fighting one of the other potentials to the death. The Sand Stalker pride themselves on completing the kill before the user knows they are under attack.

The Scorpions: One of the underworlds biggest and most widespread organized crime
syndicate, those who lead the Scorpions are willing to do anything to keep themselves living in luxury while taking non of the risk themselves. Known to ambush adventures leaving the site of an auspicious hall or organizing bandit raids on small cities, they receive a take of much of the seemingly random crime in Sundoran.

The Silverguard: A group of mercenaries serving as bodyguards and protectors of their clients
possessions. There is a saying, if you want your goods quickly, hire the SUTL, if you want it your goods safe, hire that Silverguard. They do not come cheap but have few scruples against transporting illegal of questionable materials.

The Defilers: A group of yan who believe new life is impossible without the death of the old. Lead
by the charismatic Zari, this group of impressionable young warriors laying waste to all settlements in Prodohara in order to facilitate a new order under their rule. The emotionally unstable Zari claims to be an avatar of Thel and has the power to back up the claim.

The Bloodborn: These followers of Ukom originate in the Ferron north west although there are
clusters spread in all corners of Sundoran. Believing in the right of the strong to oppress the week, the bloodborn sack the countryside seeking strong warriors to add to their ranks. While brutal in combat, they are loath to turn down a legitimate challenge to their honor. Notable is the bloodborn floating city of Redsiege, a steam powered floating fortress wandering the coastline of Ferro, terrorizing the coastal cities.

The Fair Courts: The forces under the command of the trio of fey queens that rule the eastern
part of the Vistwood forest. The three queens of air, flower and fang bicker among themselves constantly, but generally remain at peace with outsiders, most notable the nearby village of Feysedge. They are known to grant a part of the power with outsiders to act as there agents in the world of men. While bound to there word they are flippant and deceitful, those who enter agreements would be wise to choose their woods carefully.

The Bandit Guild: A loose conglomeration of bandits, cutthroats and thieves, The Bandit Guild
provides it's members with a set territory to pillage with little interference from others as well as information about possible hits for a cut of the take. Loyalty among the groups members is usually not high and most see the guild as a useful organization and on to be respected but not sworn fealty to.

The Planer Alliance: With the realization of the existence of other planes and the possibility of
planer travel close at hand, many scholars and sages became sharing knowledge and theories. This loose association eventually became known as the planner alliance, a group dedicated to opening the seal that separates Sundoran from the other planes as well as devising a defense against the demonic forces just on the other side of the planer boundary. While each are dedicated to the emerging field, competition among the participants is fierce, each seeking the next breakthrough to distinguish himself among his peers.

The Grey Foxes: An organization of adventurers set up by one of the heroes that saved
Sundoran from the demonic onslaught during the Planer War. The Grey Foxes are a private organization sworn loyalty to the King of Ferro, who seek stability in Sundoran as well as profit for it's members. It is not uncommon for the King to send members of The Grey Foxes to investigate and act in situations that require adaptability or subtly rather than highly visible members of the Ferron army. While the Foxes are given a lot of leeway, they are still held accountable for there actions, members who stray too far out of line are punished severely.

Significant events in Sundoran History

The First Lotus War
The formation of the empire of Ferro has it's roots in the early days of the First Lotus War. A charismatic bandit leader named Karuk began gaining power and influence. In a show of his power he gathered his forces and laid waste to the human settlements in the Unvali Mountains. One of the few survivors, a young man named William Windvasser rallied the remaining warriors and set out to found a new army to challenge the forces of Karuk. Arriving at the Elven city of Vallyn, the group was spurned by the leader of the elves, the high priest Ilaradin. Windvasser would not be deterred and insisted the group wait a week to see if the elf would change his mind. On the last day, an emphatic Ilaradin came to Windwasser, claiming to have revived a dream from the gods. They detailed to him a new set of Holy orders, a nation comprised of Elves, Humans, and the nearby Yan, each race maintaining the divine, order and nature respectively. The martial forces of Vallyn were added to the growing army and within the month, Yan from each of the groves dotting the land were also joined the forces. Soon, the collective army lay siege to Karuks forces in there Unvali fortress. Backed into a corner, Karuk turned to pacts with demonic forces to bolster his power and was able to push the combine forces back. In the next 7 years, the forces of Ferro, an elvish word meaning freedom, were pushed to the brink but held together. Captured at the final battle, Karuk was something little resembling a human, having sold much of himself to his demon benefactors to maintain his power. In the peace that followed, a strong foundation for a new empire had been established across the land. Windvasser was crowned king, a new city built in the wreckage of his hometown built in his name to celebrate his coronation.

The Second Lotus War Era

The first foreboding drumbeats of the second Lotus war were sounded when the several battered envoys of morfin arrived at the the kenku settlement of Susu seeking safe harbor from the march of the basalt army driving them from there homelands in estox. The full power of this army of warriors clad in black armor and their unliving golem foot soldiers struck the gates of Susu overflowing into the city and slaughtering all that could not make their way to the docks and escape by ship. When the survivors found their way to the coast of Ferro, the newly formed empire didn't know exactly how to accept the newcomers until the basalt army followed, seeking to expand their conquest into the continent. The combine forces of Ferro and Susu were able to fend off this expansion driving the evil forces back across the sea. The kenku pleaded with King Windvasser to lend his aid in recovering Susu and eliminate the threat of the Basalt army and their Majgal allies for good. Too old to lead the expedition himself, Windvasser sent his son, the general Janru to aid the threat to the empire. The fighting was long and brutal, but eventually, the enemy forces were pushed out of Susu and brought to a standstill in the frozen abyss at the point now known as The Last Stand. A brilliant strategist, Janru devised a tactic of drawing the enemy over powerful arcane runes tuned against the dark forces employed by the enemy, simultaneously decimating the army and enacting a powerfull protective barrier. The weakened majgal returned home to find their city overtaken by the roska in a slave revolt and the basalt empire faded from history. Janru returned to find his father dead from sickness and the kingdom in disarray. Many thought that Janru had shown great valor in battle deserved to ascend to the throne like his father. Others said that the kings bloodline should be preserved and his young son should hold the throne. The indecision soon lead to the near collapse of the empire and fighting broke between the two factions in the streets. Seeking to preserve the empire, Janru made the decision to leave the throne to the young child and set off with his closest supporters and officers to found a empire of there own, far to the south in the lands now known as the Falling Leaf Isles.

The Exodus of the Yan

The events that led to the exodus of the Yan started with the death of the heir to the throne of Ferro. Distraught and seeing the events as a omen, the king turned to the high priest Celebrim for council. Celebrim claimed the death with the result of turning away from the holy orders past down by Ilaradin. Passed in response, the Celebrim acts resulted in stricter interpretations of the holy laws; The teaching of arcane spell became banned in Ferro. In addition, regulations banning non-elves from holding positions of leadership in the church hierarchy. This decision was met with public outcry from the public but none more so then the Yan, who felt betrayed by the empire they had helped to build. This turmoil reached a boiling point when the yan prophet Cado, invoked a call to the wilderness in the yan, resulting in the majority succeeding from the empire and venturing to the unsettled lands of Prodohara. It was during these travels that the yan people came across the Viashino, a race isolated on the desert island of Sune and curious to see other sentient races. Eventually, Velde was created as the capital of a new yan nation and tensions between Ferro cooled.

The Planer War

The events of the planer war occur in recent history. Without warning, a large number of demons and extra planner beings descended outside Vallyn and began razing the countryside. The forces of Ferro fought the demons for 2 years before a royal prince by the name of Gabriel Windvasser. Lead his fathers troop to a concentration near the village of meadow bridge, now called the dead-fields. No one knows exactly what happen on the dead-fields, but eyewitnesses claim a brilliant flash of light burned the sky and all the members of both armies were either dead or had vanished entirely. 15 years later, the demonic forces suddenly reappeared, marked by the opening of a immense black portal in the sky and the rising of a large foreboding tower in the dead-fields. Through the interdiction of the Ferron army and a small group of adventurers, It was determined that the tower generated a huge magical force that kept Sundoran separated from the rest of the planes. They were able to seal the portal and thwart the actions of a group intent on exposing Sundoran to an adjacent plane filled with death and destruction. The sudden realization of other planes spread like wildfire among the academic community and although the shied separating Sundoran remains closed, several have taken up it's theoretical study.

Places of Sundoran
The Empire of Ferro
The most long-lived and largest nation in Sundoran. Ruled by a King, and containing a number of large cities that put most of the outside world to shame. With a Population consisting of mostly Human, Elf, and Morfin, Ferro is the most significant force in Sundoran, although it's diversity is both a strength and a weakness.

Central Ferro
The largest segment of Ferro is temperate forest and vast empty plains. The majority of the Ferron population lives in these area as it is the most civilized and among the least dangerous.

Vallyn
The Blessed City. The Seat Population: 18,000 Located just to the south of the Vhistwood and located on the amethyst river, lies the center of Ferron power, the shinning city of Vallyn. The oldest of the imperial cities, Vallyn refuses to show its age; it's buildings still hold the same polished luster as they did when they were first hew. The cities most defining feature is the singular white tower, The Dragons Eye, jutting from the royal palace at the cities center. It is said that the white dragon Yuwan will occasionally answer the call of the rightful king made from the tower to offer advice in a time of crisis. A stones throw away from the palace lies the cathedral, the official center of worship of the church of the high host. A stunning building of glass and stone, the cathedral hoses the church council, a body of clerics that some say, hold more sway over the policies of the city than even the king himself. Surrounding the Royal ward, lies the four other wards of Vallyn. To the south, the merchant ward houses most of the shop and taverns of the city. The street booths in particular are second only to the trade city of Susu in terms of availability of exotic product. To the north lies the garden district. While the majority of food in Vallyn is shipped in from Kendal, the Amethyst river feeds the vineyards and small farms of affluent residents. The exclusive elven colleges of Greye and Vistren are also located on the river and compete fiercely with each other for students and prestige. To the east lies the Residential Ward holding neighborhoods of both the rich and poor. Finally, the western ward holds the barracks of the Ferron army as well as the Highblade. By far the largest city in Sundoran, Vallyn is defined largely by the rules of the church, it's edicts commonly and quickly enacted by law. Some say this piousness has lead to the prosperity and protection of the city while others find it's rule oppressive, enacting controversial judgment such as restricting admission of church ranks to non-elves as well as all but eradicating the study of arcane magic within the city walls.

The Vhistwood
A temperate forest Ferro. The source of most lumber in Vallyn, Timbervale. Also contains the last Yan maintained Glade in Ferro, The Clearwild. The western section of the forest holds the three kingdoms of the fey: The realm of Stars, The realm of Storms and the realm of Beasts.

Black-Thistle Forest
A dark, dense thicket in central Ferro. Home to numerous dangerous and aggressive beasts. Mostly uninhabitable save for the outposts of Thistledown and Cairnwood.

Waymeadow

This region is defined by the the Karoska Jungle a dense tropical jungle encompassing the whole of western Ferro.

Ashdale
Names: The Raining City, The Blue-Hued Maiden Population: 10,000 On the far side of the Karoska jungle, lies the bay city of Ashdale. In spite of the foul rainy weather and high jutting cliff face, Ashdale serves as the major harbor on the western coast of Ferro. The settlers to the region have made practical use of the huge stone structures of the ancient ruins the city was built upon, as well as added more traditional structures of modern design. Being the only Ferron outpost for hundreds of miles, the Ashdale royal navy serves the duel roles of protecting the merchant ships from the numerous pirate gangs in the area, as well as enforcing the ban on the exploration of the nearby continent of Endelo. The southern side of the city houses the residents of these officials as well as the royal docks, maintaining the twin flagships, The New Dawn and The Blue Horizon. The north coast contains the merchant docks ,warehouses and taverns, as well as a more unsavory element taking advantage of the bustle of the trade captains to covertly fill there own coin purses. At the cities eastern boundary, the motley collection of small huts and shops known as the Snarehedge serves to outfit travels and explorers with guides and gear to service passage through the dangers of the Karoska jungle. Two of Ashdale's most iconic images are of the polished blue-hewed stones that litter the old temple grounds and the massive stone statue of a naga situated at the mouth of the bay, both evidence of the cities former residents.

Thundercrest
A small city located at the peak of a giant waterfall. Home to the shrine of Talo and under near constant attack by the Bloodborn warriors to the north.
