CURRENTLY:
Currently in Arabel, may visit some forest near by then continue heading to Sembia.
-Sembia is a country governed by its merchants with many trade routes. They aren't war-like and mostly focus on profits. Heavily capitalistic, following contracts to the letter and always pay debts with full interest. An extremely lawful country, follow the rules and there shouldn't be any trouble. Additionally, avoid praising Netherese Empire, Sembia was once under their rule and some still hold deep distain for that fallen empire.
This may be the base city for the Thistle group, much to Nemesis' worry.
Nemesis gave a spare wooden whistle to the female squirrel that was harassing the party.
Tilverton is now a Hydra nest.
Old Bane castle is big time cursed that even ghosts are warning against going there.
Church of Kossuth:
Hierarchical and mostly impersonal. Their aims tend to revolve around the acquisition of land, power, and wealth.
Most worshippers and temples are from Thay, not many are on the Sword Coast.
Four priesthoods are the Burning Braziers, Black Flame Zealots, Brother and Sisters of the Pure Flame, and Order of the Salamander.
1. BB- Evangelized, seeking converts and victims to sacrifice
2. BFZ- Secret society of assassins that operate in Thay
3. BaSofPF- Neutral and seek a neutral view of the world
4. OofS- Actively evil, detroying what they can, leaving nothing but ashes and smoke in their wake.
Three Monastic Orders are the Disciples of the Phoenix, The Disciples of the Salamander, and the Brother and Sisters of the Purifying Flame.
1. DofP- A good branch, rigidly order their members studies and behaviors and put their focus on the purifying aspect of their deity. Also known for branding themselves as punishment for what they viewed as sins. Also known to commit suicide by self-immolation.
2. DotS- An evil branch as they see fire as necessary for the renewal aspect of their deity. Though some members view on destruction do border on Talos'.
3. BaSotPF- A neutral branch, their goal was to strike a balance between pruification and destruction and acted as the go-between of the other two monasteries.
Dark 8:
Hell's Circle, who can have different deities filling those spots. Loki or other gods may of stepped in and are causing issues OR Asmodeus might have a grudge.
Baalzephons- Supply Master
Corin- Spy Bullshit
Gaos- Fight/General Master
Fureas- Church Bullshit
Pearza- Research Master
Zaebos- Marketing Expert (Capitalist o_o)
Zapons- God vs God, Professional Hater
Zimmimars- Pep Squad
CiCi the Bird:
He/Him, real name is Cipactli, he has caused more than one war. Goblin War/Bone War, Original one.
Likely Wild Magic.
He caused the Goblin/Bone War because he fucked with the weather.
He is from the City of Shade, which previously attacked Tilverton where the Hydra is now.
Hluthvar:
An attack occurred that appears to be Rebels, around 10 men and 1 oni from the Reaching Woods. This attack turned into at least 3 SEPARATE attacks, possibly 4, that seem to happen at the same time.
The Rebels, the Loki (?) assassins, 2 Magic users, and the Erinyes.
All assassins killed, having Loki tattoos on their back, most to all Rebels killed, both Magic users got away but at least 1 Death Dog was killed.
Erinyes riding a Nightmare, likely sent by our "divine leaders" as a test, though it seems the test went too far. Likely Seria was the primary target. Someone who sent may of known she would go to far, Montero, Rontra, and Seria's deity may be innocent or may be guilty of causing this attack.
Looking for the Rebels and Seddit
-Fire Aasimar a Paladin of Kossuth, seeking revenge of some kind, best avoid arguing about her beliefs or about Father in general
-It is unknown which faction she belongs to, its highly unusual for a Paladin of Kossuth to go solo on a Holy Campaign, this might be personal.
-Village destroyed by 1 woman, questions on there being slavery in the village. Unknown if this is the "Fire Aasimar", but it is suspicious and should stay noted.
-Rebels and Fire Aasimar are attacking, essentially, opposite villages
-Very scarred, seemingly purple (?), weird hands, and a Kossuth shield
-The Rebel, Seddit, and this new possible goddess for Seria may be heading in the same direction
6 Initial Survivors of Nightstone, Cloud Giants came to reclaim an Obelisk and there was a lot of collateral damage
-1 additional survivor found, an extremely young toddler
-Nemesis was picked up by one of the Giants, it was cool :)
Davil: At Darkhold, has claimed his gang and the Rebels will try to make dealings
Primara: Unicorn we saved, we know its forest/location if we need it
Shori: Keth's Sister, meet on the road
Alfy: Masked Nonbinary, Loki follower or Loki or whatever, not my business
"Reagan Dysart": A "guard" for Elturel, seems oddly educated, no weapons, and knows one of our inn rooms. They have kept him secrets after threatening a rookie guard to keep quiet.
Hardbuckler: Gnome city within the forest
Detective Ajavash: The new name for Vincent Trent, gave excellent clues and is still a great aid
Ally: A random chicken that appeared at camp, likely CiCi's fault
