Map of Elderreach

The Continent of Elderreach:

Anarchaia, the Isle of Chaos: Run by the most powerful inhabitant, -currently a man called Graft- this island has no formal law. Citizens are allowed to do as they please, although not many people actually live here. The most prominent feature is the Colosseum, which brings outsiders in to try to make some money figthing others in battle. No foreign power has dominion or influence over this lawless land, although many attempts have been made. It is also known as Crime Heaven and is a headquarters for bootlegging, slave trading and forgery.

Asrael, the Isle of the Gods: Named after the Divine Messenger, this island is where deities are said to ascend or descend between realms. On the Island are two rivers, Caias and Abellon, which end in the shadow of the Floating Palace of Ascension. The Palace of Ascension is a castle in the sky that floats on an over-turned mountain. It's lowest point is a mere 300 yards above the ground. It is the meeting place of the Gods. Surrounded by mountains, one can see the Isle's edges from the Castle's battlements. The castle itself has twelve gates, each marked with a symbol and no mortal has ever stepped foot inside it.

Axeblade Island: The southernmost land in Elderreach and the Realm of the Wilds, a group of people who are able to shift into an animalistic form and use their rage simultaneously. Outsiders are unwelcome, for the most part, and it seems their only allies are the Tribefolk. Their leader is chosen every four years, with a tournament on Leap Year Day.

The Badlands and the Kingdom of Necrothrall: The Badlands is a decent sized country covered entirely in swampland and riddled with forests. Deep in this land is the castle of Skull's Hold, the home of Zathrak, the King of the Swamps. On the two islands that lie off the coast (Wraithblade and Worgfang) the Swamp King keeps his prisons. These prisons house his prisoners of war, traitorous men, and his daughters. Guarded by undead and swamp beasts, his twelve daughters are kept away from all men, and his prisoners are kept from rescue.

Bareah Ahsudai, the Desert Gem: A kingdom on the desertous peninsula to the west. It's towns and cities are bordering oases and connected by underground catacombs and aqueducts. The King's Palace rests upon a large underground spring, providing adequate water to the kingdom. Many live on or below the poverty line.

Bryn, the Mountain Kingdom: A mountainous country to the north, it is inhabited by dragonkind and pegasi. The only nation sharing a border with Slavyria, and the only country to have a permanent peace treaty with them. It's palace is on a lovely plateau in the middle of the Guardian Mountains. The people here work alongside the dragonkind and pegasi and Bryn is famous for it's Skyriders. The current leader is Queen Vadia, a highly established Skyrider.

Jherubara, the Black Plains: This sandy nation lies between the Badlands and Raider's Range. It is home to the Hourglass of Fate, a large hourglass the size of a castle's tower that is said to count down to the end of the world. A greedy, scoundrel nation, it is ruled by the last person alive in the great Daggerfall Dance. an event in which all the participants wear masks.

Karbala, the Holy Nation: Wedged between the ocean, the Vast Wastes and Bareah Ahsudai, this Holy Nation is where the great Clerics journey to make their pilgrimage. Although it is a neutral land, most of it's support goes to good-aligned nations. The capitol is also named Karbala, called the Holy City, and is on the edge of the Great Lake of the Gods. The leader is the eldest cleric and no one church may gain power over the others. Those outside the High Circle are confused and dumbfounded as to how the churches could possibly work together.

Moonglow: The Kingdom of Malchior 'The Silent' Greyflame. This is a neutral kingdom and always will be. The Island of Moonglow is the birthplace and home of the Greys; a secret organization dedicated to the preservation of Balance. Each member has a supernatural power that is unique to the the organization and the individual. The native land of Changelings. The Great Dead Lake rests on it's east edge, surrounded and protected by mountains. It is said to house the spirits of the dead, particularly lost souls and those seeking absolution. The lake can only be reached through the Moonglow Catacombs.

Paradise Isle: An island south of Azrael, Paradise Isle is home to the Lake of Living Waters, which cures every affliction and houses the beautiful Paradise Nymphs. It has been said that one could communicate with the Gods through it's waters. The island is surrounded by a reef, which makes it near impossible to reach from the sea.

Plainsdale, the Twin Country: Nestled in the heart of the Northern Continent, Plainsdale is mostly one wide-open plain. Sprinkled with forests and dabbed with lakes, this country is home to the Queen's Cavaliers. Traditionally, the country has always been ruled by a Queen.

Raider's Range: A southern mountain range home to brigands and raiders who often do battle with the Tribes. They raid merchants who bring goods between the Tribes, Jherubara and the Badlands.

Riverdale, the Twin Country: Sharing it's borders with Bryn and Plainsdale, the Kingdom of Riverdale is home to the King's Coterie. It's mostly plain land, but the numerous rivers make it extremely easy for traders. There is a never-ending peace treaty with Plainsdale.

Schnellfӓng, the Windswept Wastes: Across the sea from Riverdale and bordering the Tribelands, this kingdom is home to the Tempest Guard, an elite group of dervishes who fight while spinning and moving like the wind. The mysterious king holds the four wings in his castle towers.

Shay, the Forest Country: A country to the north between Bryn and Reaper's Range in the Vast Wastes. A mostly forested valley governed by a republic empire whose leaders are chosen from it's settlements. The people here live in trees and many are of Elven descent.

Slavyria: A winter land to the north inhabited by Giants, Dwarves, Kyries and the humans known as Vyks. Outsiders are held with suspicious regard until gaining the respect of a leader. King Thorgrim lives in Kyriefjord Castle and the end of the Yorganmund River.

The Tibelands: A large area consisting mostly of plains and hills that has been unconquered and uncivilized for over a millenia. The 12 Tribes that inhabit the land were originally from a far away land. They came from the sky on big metal birds and settled the land and have been here since. Their way home is long forgotten, but their strength grows. They have seemingly no desire to conquer other lands and only fight outsiders when their lands are threatened. Exiled Tribefolk have joined 'civilized' armies as mercenaries, and their skill is near unparalleled.

The Vast Wastes: An incredulous desert bordered by the Reaper's Mountain Range and the Eastern Kingdoms, Karbala and Bareah Ahsudai. It is riddled with the Ruins of civilizations past. Legend has it that it used to be part of the plains and home to a dazzling civilization before the Reaper cut it off and made it barren. He did this because he fought Valeshaar here and lost. After cutting off he land, he created the Remnants.

Weapons and Armor Proficiencies: Drakeriders are proficient with all simple and martial weapons along with Spike Chain and Whip. Drakeriders are proficient with all armor and shields, besides tower shields.

Drakes Tongue: At first level, Drakeriders learn Draconic as a bonus language.

Mounted combat: A drakerider receives Mounted Combat as a bonus feat at level 1.

Rider's Bond: A drakerider gains a Drake mount that advances as she gain levels (chart below). Choose one Energy type (Acid, Cold, Electricity or Fire) for the Drake's breath weapon. Once chosen, this cannot be changed. Riders get a +4 to Handle Animal checks when dealing with thier mount and can handle them as a free action or push them as a move action.

Energy Resistance: A drakerider receives Energy Resistance 5 to the drake's energy type at level 2. This resistance increases to 10 at level 6, 20 at level 14, and becomes Immunity at level 18.

Bonus Feat: A drakerider gains a Mount or Mounted Combat related bonus feat at level 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18.

Skilled Flyers: At level 3, a drakerider adds her levels in the Drakerider class as a Competence bonus to the fly checks of their drakes.

Bonded Fighters: Pupil: At level 4, Drakeriders are beginning to understand how to fight as a unit with their drakes. They can choose one of the following two abilities:

Leap of Trust: A melee rider never lets something as trivial as distance stop her. At level 4, a Drakerider can leap from her mount to make a full melee attack against a single target, as a full round action. A rider gains a +10 to her Acrobatics check for purposes of calculating Jump distance. Against an arial target (or when the dm feels applicable) the drake will catch it's rider after the attack, provided it still has enough movement to do so. The target must be within 15 feet of the jump's origin, and the rider gets a +2 to the damage roll.

Winged Conviction: A ranged rider never lets a target out of his sight. At level 4, a rider can move up to 15 ft. before, during, or after making a ranged attack, even a full attack, as a full round action. The rider suffers none of the normal penalties associated with firing a ranged weapon on top of a moving mount.

Channel Energy: The rider can channel his drake's breath weapon into the rider's weapons (as a flaming, frost, shocking or corrosive weapon) for rounds equal to his rider level + cha mod. The drake cannot use their breath weapon during this time or for 1d4 rounds after. The rider can use this ability 1/day at level 5, 2/day at level 10 and 3/day at level 15.

Tactical Maneuvering: At level 7, riders can Take 10 for their drake on their drake's fly check 1/day, even in immediate danger or distracted. They gain an extra use of this ability every odd level afterwards (2/day at level 9, 3/day at level 11, etc.).

Bonded Fighters: Apprentice: The Rider's skill at Drakeback combat increases. You gain an additional ability as such. If you chose Leap Of Trust, you gain Leaping Duo. If you chose Winged Conviction, you gain Marked By Faith.

Leaping Duo: When using Leap of Trust, the drake also gains a single attack against one target. The rider can now attack muliple tagets in a straight line who are no more than 10 feet away from eachother and a +2 to the attack roll. This provokes attacks of opportunities.

Marked by Faith: As riders get stronger, they have the ability to hone in on certain targets and they will pursue them to the ends of the earth. At level 8, riders can choose up to two targets as "marked" as a move action. Against these enemies, the rider gains a +4 bonus to damage and attack rolls, but takes a -4 bonus to damage and attack rolls against all other enemies. The rider can later switch one of his "marked" with a swift action or both of his "marked' with another move action.

Ingenious Flyers: At level 11, drakes maneuverability is treated as "average" for purposes of calculating modifiers to their Fly check.

Bonded Fighters: Journeyman: By now, you know the deal. Melee get melee, ranged get ranged.

Great Leap: When using Leap of Trust, the rider gains a +30 to 'jump', a +5 to attack and damage and the target can be up to 30 feet away. These bonuses replace the previous ones.

Everlasting Conviction: A ranged rider has learned to pursue enemies past what is physically possible. They can now move a total of 30 ft. before, during, or after an attack, even full attacks, as a full round action and the rider gains a +3 bonus to ranged attack and damage rolls, in addition to no longer taking penalties for firing a ranged weapon from a moving mount.

Greater Tactical Maneuvering: At level 13, Riders "Take 12" instead for their drake's fly check, even in moment of immediate danger or distraction.

Bonded Fighters: Artisan:

Leaping Riccochet: The rider can now 'bounce' from one target to another in a single Leap of Trust. The rider makes each 'jump' check using the last target as the jump's origin. This provokes attacks of opportunities.

Enduring Faith: A ranged rider has the spirit of a knight and the endurance that can outlast even the toughest of enemies. At level 16, the rider can "mark" up to 4 enemies as a move action, or up to 2 enemies as a swift action. Otherwise, this functions as the Marked by Faith ability.

Masterful Flyers: At level 17, drakes maneuverability is treated as "good" for purposes of calculating modifiers to their Fly check.

Energy Immunity: Riders are now immune to their Drake's energy type.

Masters Of The Sky: At level 19, Riders can "Take 20" on their drake's fly check, without the time increase.

Channel Mastery: The drake can now use it's breath weapon while it's rider is using channel energy. The rider also gets a 'burst' effect on critical hits when channelling energy.

Bonded Masters: The Rider's skill of Drakeback Combat reaches it's fruition. They have now mastered their abilities.

Riding Death: Against a single target, a rider can use their Drakeback Combat skill to deliver a deathblow to instantly disable (and drop to 0 hp) on a critical hit. The rider can do this 1/day and must announce that they're doing so before the critical hit is confirmed.



If your Drake dies, you will take you will take 1d8 nonlethal damage for each of it's hit die and lose all riding related class features until you either raise it or train a new one. For one week after the death of your drake, your hit points cannot exceed 1/2 your max hp. This cannot be healed by a spell, only by time, as it is emotional damage. The Death of Drakes is a rare and sad event that will grant you leave and oddly enough, Drake funerals are more important and special than those of their riders. If you die, your Drake will protect the closest person to your heart (kin, loved ones) but only one person and they'll never be able to ride them. If both of you die, you can both be raised with the same spell.

Non-Playable Race: Remnants

History: Long ago, the Dark God, Gormogon, tired of his followers turning to his former ally and lover, Valeshaar, created the Remnant race as an army with which to war against her. Remnants, having no souls or free will, could not turn against him and could only foloow his orders. After the war, Gormogon granted most of his army the girt of free will, allowing tham to live a life of their own. in gratitude, the Remnants made a pact to worship only him, if any god, and to only breed inter-racially. Any Remnant who breaks this pact willingly is subject to the removal of his free will or destruction.

The Grimm were always a harsh race. Even in the beginning. It is claimed the showed up mysteriously near a millenia ago, and have taken to swamps, dark forests and caverns. Their societies are mostly Tribal Magocracies. The other races don't seem to be very comfortable around them, and who would with looks that could kill and spell power to go with it? Many high-level Grimm are Archmages, True Necromancers or Thaumatergists.
Cruel, conniving and mischievous, these cruel spellcasters are the barbarians of the magic world, however, most know when to bide their time and plan out an attack.

Non-Playable Race: Gyronian

These catlike peoples are similar to Catfolk or Shifters, but different from either. They have skin covered in a thin layer of short fur that bears stripes or patterns of other cats, feline eyes of gold, amber, green, yellow, silver, blue, brown, red (rare) or a mix of these. They have ears atop their heads, which are feline, and their hair can be any color and shade. They have catlike tails, claws and fangs. They otherwise have the physical stature of humans, but with an elf's longevity. Gyronians can actually shift themselves into a cat form, Lion, Tiger, Cheetah, Leopard, Panther, Mountain Lion, so on and so forth (but not that of a house cat).

MIGHTY LEAPING [GENERAL]
You have developed your leg muscles and trained yourself
to make mighty leaps.
Prerequisite: Str 21, Dodge, Mobility, Jump 9 ranks or a
racial bonus on Jump checks.
Benefit: You gain a +10 competence bonus on Jump
checks. If you intentionally jump down from a height, a
successful Jump check (DC 15) lets you take damage as if
you had fallen 20 feet less than you actually did.
Normal: Without this feat, a successful Jump check lets
you take damage as if you had fallen 10 feet less than you
actually did.
Special: A creature with this feat is not limited by its
height when jumping.

MIGHTY ROAR [MONSTROUS]
You unsettle opponents with a dreadful roar as you attack.
Prerequisite: Animal or magical beast; Large size.
Benefit: Once per day, you can use this feat as a standard
action. Your mighty roar affects every opponent within 30
feet of you that can hear your roar and has a character level
lower than yours. An affected opponent must make a successful
Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your Hit Dice + your Cha
modifier) to negate the effect. Failure means that opponent
becomes shaken for 1d6 rounds. A shaken creature takes a
–2 morale penalty on attack rolls, checks, and saving throws.

IMPROVED MULTIATTACK [MONSTROUS]
You are particularly adept at using all your natural weapons
at once.
Prerequisite: Three natural weapons, Multiattack.
Benefit: The usual –5 penalty on attack rolls for secondary
attacks does not apply to your secondary attacks with
natural weapons. The damage bonus for such attacks is still
only 1/2 your Strength bonus, if any.
Normal: Without this feat, your secondary natural
attacks take a –5 penalty (or a –2 penalty if you have the
Multiattack feat).
