he Lands of Terra Nara
History of Terra Nara.
One thousand years ago, at a time when the Elves still dwelt in the forests of Quel’Shar. The stars aligned and deep beneath the sea a terrible power awoke, breaking the seal of its imprisonment, The sunken city R'lyeh arose from the depths and the Great Old One Cthulhu set lose his army of Starspawn, Mind Flayar and othe rmonsters upon the world. His motives are left a mystery as are most of the actions of the Old Ones.
The Alignment of the stars and the moons that gave Cthulhu the oppertunity to carry out his plans also prevented the Elder Gods from sending there avatars to the world to fight Cthuhlu directly. Thus the hope of the world rested in the hands of mortals. Just when things looked there darknessed a beacon of hope appeared.
They were led by six heros, an elvish monk, a dwarven fighter, a halfling rouge, a gnomish cleric, a human paladin and a human wizard. Before the alignment ended Cthulhu made one last grasp at victory. He attempted to summon the god from beyond the stars Azathoth a mindless being whos power surpassed that of any deity. The six heroes did battle with Cthulhu and laid his broken body with in his city walls. The Old One did not only lose his body but his essense. For reasons lost by time the essense of the Great Old one was absorbed the material plane. Making the return of Cthulhu impossible execpt perhaps for the direct actions of a Greater Deity. With is death the power of psinoics was born in the humanoid races of Quel’Shar. A power before limited to Mind Flayers and similar creatures.
The 3 Moons of Terra Nara
The First Moon of Terra Nara is called Kaiser and its a large white moon which takes 55 days to complete its orbit.
The Second Moon is called the Ruby because of its bright red color and the way it shines like a gem. It is two thirds the size of Kaiser and takes a full 42 days to complete its orbit which is slightly higher in the sky then Kaiser. Ruby is also the moon that has an effect on Lycanthropes.
The third and smallest moon is Omarna and it is half the size of Ruby and its orbrit is lower in the sky then Kaiser and takes 30 days to complete its orbit.
Ruby and Omarna are both full on the same day every 7 months
Kaiser and Omarna are both full every 11 months.
The Three Moons are both full every 6 years and 4 months.
Kaiser and Ruby are never both full on the same night with out there sister Omarna with them.
The Main continent is called Quel’Shar and contains many nations and many reigions. From the sandy Ivory Valley to the icy northlands. To the swamplands of the Feninars and the ocean like grasslands of the heartlands.
Lands outside the main continent include
The Islands of Char’Tor
Across the western sea are the islands of Char’Tor. It is a collection of sizable islands. It is the land of spices and silk. The Land has grown rich from the export of spices and silk. The main goverment is a republic with each island having a seat on the councal. How each island chooses its leader is up to them.
Lycanthral
Across the eastern sea lies a small continent or perhaps giant island. The land contains mountains rich with rare metals such as mitherial and adamantine. The mountains aside majority of the land is covered in trees, the southern peninsula containing grasslands. I’m sure the question of the name is burning into your brain right now. Yes Lycanthral has something to do with Lycanthropes. The primary in habitants are true lycanthropes. With a population of around 350,000 near xenophobic lycanthropes ready to set aside thier own differences to defend the island. Getting at that those mountains is a near impossible task.
Krag’morr
Krag’morr is a desolate island to the south of Quel’Shar. Containing numerious volcano and giant rifts in the earth that run as deep as a mile. Few things live in the enviorment of ash and death. Somewhere hiddin among the black spires spuing fire and ash. Is a valley containing the bones of countless dragons. A dragon grave yard. Anyone who travels to Krag’morr is either trying to hide something or find the resting place of great wyrms.
Avalon
Avalon is known only by name, and its location is a complete secret. The last of the elves in Quel’Shar left for Avalon centuries ago. It is believed by most to lie beyond the western sea. Beyond the reach of any ship. However some of the elves left through the eastern sea so that leaves to explanations the world is round or the ships travel to another plane.
