Codex introduction
Old School
While not using any of the mechanics, I want to run an old school, back in the day, swords and sorcery Dungeons and Dragons inspired game. That means wizards and warlocks, thieves, dragons, orcs, talking trees, elven oracles...the whole nine yards. Magic is, it isn't oppressed and subjected by the populace, nor is it massively present.A quick heads up, any of the stuff I have submitted to the Citadel is likely to be included in the game, with the K'tonian Hegemony and associated legacies making an appearance. I will likely also use some of the stuff from the Random Encounter Scrolls that I have started.

Vee Keykold
Well, this certainly looks like a K'tonian artifact but if you notice the grooves on the bottom, that means that this was actually made on a Jiyong potters wheel as an imitation of the K'tonian style of pottery. This is a replica, albeit a 700 year old, very good replica. I do happen to know a buyer who would be willing to pay you for it. -
Moruz
Shaft of heavens, burning bright. Gave us light amidst the night. Showed the means to reach our height. bestowed on us, Axtrami's might. -
Brother Aethelstan
This naïve young man was fostered among the warlike Knights of the Most Holy Order of Saint Senren. Cloistered most of his life, he knows little of the world. -
Inspector Aerex Matare
Trouble follows some people wherever they go. I follow that trouble and make sure those people don't make anymore trouble. It ain't easy, but someone's got to do it. -
Vorodon Volgottor
A half-breed son of the Volgotoi, Vorodon seeks to find his place in a world that rejects his kind.

The K'tonian Hegemony
The legacy of K'ton can be seen in the spinning gear, in the spring, in the sliding weight, and in the wonderous ships that glide through the air.

Galvinus Skreep
Topaz you say, looks like a good quality citrine to me. I'll give you 8 pieces of silver for it.
Galvinus driving a bargain.
Murometz: It may be a good idea to add the subs you use in the roleplay - for example the K'tonian Hegemony thread and the Ouzquin Dremorix etc... But before we do that, it would be nice if we could get all the characters up first so they are together.
I agree with ShadowEagle, we should get the rest of the troop as front page NPCs before we start linking the other relevent posts to this Codex. Kudos to SE for putting it together. C'mon guys, all you have to do is some cut and paste from the OOC channel and from your PC emails from Muro.
Each of these kinds of codices need to be rated.
Placeholder--save room for Red Hatchet's Accursed Codde-Piece.
I cant believe I just came across this one. I am now suffering from sublime nostalgia. It seems ages ago...:)
