  • Calimshan

    Geography

    From the deserts to the western shores to the swamps in the east and plains in between, Calimshan provided a range of environments, including the Embooli Mountains.

    The Marching Mountains were a heavily forested mountain range on the northern border of Calimshan. Three major rivers ran through the range. Somewhere in the mountains was once a dwarven kingdom called High Shanatar. Like many of the shield dwarf kingdoms this was also abandoned thousands of years ago and forever lost.

    The Calim Desert was a rocky desert that spanned much of western Calimshan. A single major highway ran through it from Calimport to Memnon where caravans dodged bandits from various raider factions.

    Some of the bluest crystal clear water made up the Shining Sea. The Sea rested south of Calimshan and linked lucrative trade to Chult, the Shaar, Tharsult, and countless other places. The Shining Sea was famous for good reasons, not only as a mercantile hub for wealthy sea captains, but was also a wellspring of and adventure for swashbucklers and corsairs.

    Calimshan has now entered the epoch of its 15th period, I pray for us all that Neshm'eera arrives soon
    — Ibn-al Qo'udra

Supporting Cast
  • Kaol'Arai The Grey Dread
    This powerful elven being is one of the Baelnorn, an elven equivalent of lich - they usually guard places or objects important to elvendom. This one is Kaol'Arai, The Grey Dread, an ancient Bladesinger who, instead of going for a well deserved rest after death, turned into a guardian of his family's heritage - Omentielva, a strange jewel glowing with 'darkness' of unknown origins. Ages ago, Omentielva was such a temptation that even wars were made to get it. Kaol'Arai spent his entire life trying to protect this precious token of his family's pride. The gem was stolen, taken back, hidden, unveiled, almost destroyed, saved again etc etc throughout millennia, but, at the end, through incredible efforts of Kaol'Arai and his family, gem was hidden deep into the crypts and sealed. When the young elf's journey had ended, he realized one thing - there is no rest for him. That is all he had known since his teens - endless fight and fear. Having found no joys in life after sealing the Omentielva and secretly craving for another fight over it so his life becomes meaningful again, when his years came to an end, he swore ancients vows to protect it even after life. He thought life of a powerful elven lich-guardian would provide at least echoes of that previous life of his - the thrill of threat, feeling important and appreciated, a stampede among the foes. Oh my, he could not be more wrong. Instead, he got endless waiting, hovering furiously along the narrow corridors till the end of fucking times, checking the same trap for the 5000th time, only to realize Omentielva has been hidden so well that any knowledge of it had long passed with their bearers. Nobody could possibly still know what it is or, even more so, where it is located. So, through another millennia of waiting, our pointy-ear poor bastard grew VEEEEERY frustrated over his decision. Having been stuck between the prime and material planes forever, he didn't really belong to either. Alienated, banished, humiliated, he was hurt by one fact more than the others; that he willingly just condemned himself to the worst fate possible. So these are circumstances under which our Forlan meet his future patron!
