A Brief History of County Siogal By: Dozus
'I fear, dear Marius, that either you or I have been led astray. The Legends of which you spoke claimed Showgull was a land of great Magick, perhaps even the very Wellspring of the first Magick, with a People whose blood runs with æthereal power. You know how serious I take my work, Marius: is this a jest to you? These are a barbarous People, who know little Writing and fewer Manners. They are hostile to the very Idea learned Magick. That anyone should call this a Nexus of magickal power is risible. No wonder so many Kingdoms have been eager to trade off this Place in their treaties.' - the wizard Abelard Selanius, Esq., letter to his colleague Marius Dubesque |

Vaakri's Empyral Bow By: Dozus
Suddenly an east wind blew, and far above the clouds rolled and folded. Where there were once whisps of white there was now a long cloud formed in the shape of a recurved bow. Malakh bowed her head in humility. 'That which you have asked is granted you, O Warrior.' ...Vaakri reached and stretched, grasping at the sky. At first he seized nothing, but his heart was filled with the Empyrean Emir's winds and light, and finally he grasped the bow from the far sky and drew it to the earth. - The legend of Vaakri |

Lescelina the Witch Queen By: Dozus
'Dat woman... She was terrible to behold. Terrible but beautiful. She sat on a great throne, surrounded by her gatorfolk servants. She stood and she looked mighty angry. She look down at me an' Tergryn an' de rest, and she yell in some strange tongue - de elf-folk, I tink. She had a fury in her soul, an' I could feel her evil eye on me. Doric - hui, poor Doric! - she had 'er gatorfolk slash his belly wit' his claws and tore out his entrails. De gobbled dem up... Poor Doric...' She is the high priestess of Jampiri, the outcast of the Kanaar, the guardian of the gatorfolk.

15/30 Bards By: Dozus
A series of singers and strummers, summarily simple and sinuous, subsisting with singularly spectacular song-stylings. I've sat on this one for long enough. Feel free to fill in the gaps. |

Taqukaq's Trading Post By: Dozus
Felim collapsed into the snow, exhausted. It felt like it would be the last fall this time, his limbs stiffening and flesh numb. The adventurer had heard of natives that thrived out here, men who slew bears and made coats of seal fur. But who could build anything out here...? Just as he felt light start to fade, Felim cast his gaze up to see the sky one last time. He was startled - or would have been, if his body had the energy - to see a furred hood and a leathery face with a toothless grin. 'Ho there, brother!' it spoke. 'You came to just the right place.' ![]() |

The Dog Pit Public House By: Dozus
'Bristlebane ale. Tall.' Mathus looked up. He didn't recognize the man ordering, but he seemed the type: muscles beneath a layer of fat, a snarling expression with most of his teeth missing, fists like summer hams. 'You want it in a bottle?' 'From the tap.' Mathus nodded. 'This way,' he said, stepping from behind the bar and into the back room, the 'customer' following. A fresh-faced young man sitting at the bar looked around, confused. 'Bristlebane? Sounds adventurous.' 'You couldn't handle it, son,' an older man said from across the plank bar with a hint of derision. 'It'd right kick your ass.' ![]() |

Venator's Necropolis By: Dozus
'We came expecting a broken moon or wayward asteroids, but this... I don't think anyone's seen anything of its like. There's an astounding amount of material here. We're looking in the records, trying to match some of the artifacts, but there's nothing like it. I don't know what most of this does, but my God is it complex. We're looking at, at least, what, two decades of potential salvage, maybe more, then the cartography of the local moon for more. We're definitely here to stay.' - Phaeton Venator, recovered personal log ![]() |

The Way of Divine Wealth By: Dozus
'O Divine Broker, merchant of souls, bless our transaction, make it holy and righteous in Your sight. May those that profit from it be ever prosperous, and earn our reward in Your Sacred Market. Release us from our debts, and grant us lucrative exchange now and forever.' Any number of clergymen might be accused of putting their demands for secular wealth over their spiritual needs. Even these, however, would never claim to worship their prosperity. Yet such is the case with the followers of the Way of Divine Wealth, a religion of uncertain history and unabashed cupidity. ![]() ![]() |
