[Information] The Legend of Lost

[hobocommando]

Seems like it would be a good idea to repost some of this stuff. So, here go!

 

The continent is divided into 5 different regions with their own specific qualities.

Gougand: Gougand is primarily a magical state. Much magical research is being conducted in this region. Gougand use much science as well but their main focus is in the arcane. Many wizards come from this region. Gougand also has a good number of mage guilds that complete contracts on request. Government consists of a centralized government made up of a able bodied counsel. Life is full of academics in this region.

Shivite: Shivite excels in the realm of industry. They are often on the brink of new technology and invention. Much power comes from this country. Alike to Gougand, they have their own hand in magics as well. Many mercenary guilds come from here and is often used as a home for thieves and the like. Government consists of a centralized government made up of an elected person and his advisors. Life is flavored with power here.

Nocalth: This is the mountainous region in which Gold Summit resides in. Nocalth unfortunately is sandwiched between Gougand and Shivite in the northern part of the hemisphere. Despite this, outside influence is held to a minimum and residents are not much concerned with current events of neighboring regions. Government consists of localized parties according to the town in the form of mayors, counsel, etc. Life consists of harmony in this region. The region you will be playing in is a very mountainous region and because of this, people tend to be a little eccentric due to the lack of oxygen. However people get along fine. The remoteness of the region has allowed extra-planar creatures to become a little more personal. Allowing good and evil alike to take a more tangible form.

Ferand: Ferand is very fond of philosophy. Many great thinkers and writers have come from this country. People sit around and talk. Likewise, currency is low. Residents don’t mind however. People are much too concerned with the progress of humanity to let much else concern them. Government consists of the entire region in the form of a republic. Items are proposed and voted on by the population. Life is full of quandary here.

Mortil: Mortil is a barren wasteland. Inhabited by only those who cannot function anywhere else and ones with ill intent. Life is difficult in Mortil as many unfavorable creatures consider this their home. There is no government in this region and life is riddled with sorrow.

History: The respected regions were once one a long time ago. The land was broken up into several city-states that interacted but had no need for any form of government until destruction threatened the land. A very powerful lich had risen up, and constructing an army of the undead, ravaged the land. Five heroes stepped up to the challenge and faced the mighty lich. Their mission was a success and a land grant was given to them in reward. However, tales of their exploits have been forgotten by all save a handful of bards and scholars.

Current Events: Gougand and Shivite are currently in conflict, each accusing the other of a breach of ethics and an overuse of power. Currently there is a temporary peace agreement in an attempt for negotiations. Despite of this, there are many rumors of foul play. No one really knows where these rumors are coming from, but some say that there is dark magic from old being used. Others say a deal with planar creatures long forgotten has been made to ensure success. As with any rumor, they hold to be potentially exaggerated, but most times, they are based on some truth. Naturally these rumors have reached Nocalth and disturbing news has disrupted the order of things.

 

Pathfinder Core and APG books allowed. I'm also giving the go ahead for the magus playtest. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/ This might also help. Most everything can be found here. This will be a standard 4d6 drop the lowest. I'm only looking for 1-2 players. There will be another player that you will be playing with so at max a total of three players. Players will start at level 5. There will be a 10k gold limit for starting characters. You will use this to buy the magic items that are discussed later. Whatever you don't spend will be you're remaining gold on hand. I'm going to allow 3 traits. Everyone is allowed to come from a region of their own choosing. However, if you come from somewhere fairly remote from the setting (i.e. Mortil and Ferand). I need a good reason for you to be all they way up in Nocalth or the neighboring regions in order to be contacted. This might come in handy when the time comes http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes Players will start with 2 magic items approved by me. More specifically, find one, consult me, and I'll OK it or not.

 

"This use to be such a quite little town." Some villagers of Gold Summit might say if you wanted to ask. However many strange happenings have been occurring lately. You have been commissioned by a private party through an anonymous channel in order to figure out what is going on. All expenses are paid for and you are being paid a hefty sum. For many others this might be questionable, but you need the money.
