Eguras

After the fall of Lilitha, nine kingdoms were established all across Eguras. These are Astala, Beraug, Druya, Fegary, The Republic of Vanas, Siven, Theavan, Trimira and Wroven. In addition, there is the single city-state named Prophet’s Landing, where the Cathedral of the Holy Flame stands

Prophet's Landing

Prophet’s landing is not a kingdom but a city-state. The Church runs it completely and also administers the land surrounding the city, sometimes referred as the “holy land”.

Population: 14,000

Ruler: Pope Abraham VIII

Rarity Modifier: -1

Prophet’s Landing is the largest settlement across Eguras. It was founded by Prophet soon after he defeated Lilithia and now has fourteen thousands souls living within.

The central building, the Cathedral of the Holy Flame, is the seat of the Creator’s religion. The structure towers the rest of the buildings in the city. The pope, as well as the archbishops and templars, live within dedi- cated wings. In the great hall stands the silver brazier, filled with special burning oils that gives a silvery flame, symbol of the precious metal that allowed Prophet to defeat the Mother Witch.

Below the cathedral are the Sanctified Catacombs. The entrance to this section of the cathedral is kept secret; only the pope, the high templar, and the arch- bishops know how to access it. Not much is known about the catacombs as those who have access remain discreet about it. The only sure fact is that past popes, archbishops and high templars are buried there upon their death. Rumor has it that the corpse of Prophet is also kept deep inside. Other rumors also have it that the catacombs would have hidden rooms holding an- cient artifacts from the Midnight Empire...

In front of the cathedral is a large park in which stands the Prophet’s Monument, a marble statue rep- resenting the combat between Prophet and Lilithia. Prophet is shown holding a spear that is piercing the witch’s heart. In this sculpture, Prophet is wearing simple clothes as well as manacles with broken chains hanging at his wrists and ankles.

There are multiple vineyards around the city, but one of them has much more success: the White Fox Winery. Having made a deal with the archbishops to serve as the exclusive provider of the cathedral, this has given them a reputation boost. All around Eguras, nobles have a few bottles of White Fox Wine in their cellar.

Trimiria

Name

Trimira means “Land of Righteous”. It came from the army Aleratha led herself during the war, “Trimiteh” or “The righteous warriors”, referring to her perception of having a claim to the Wrovenish throne.

Terminology

People: Trimiranishan

Adjective: Trimiranish

Origin

Trimira was as its origin part of the Wroven kingdom. When a plague stroke the land, civil war took place as the king and his family passed away. The main pretend- ers to throne were two of the king’s niblings; Aleratha and Nindrol, both coming from different parents. Aleratha united the western wrovenish people under her banner and fought for the crown. Both parties exhausted themselves and the plague did not help. Aleratha and Nindrol ended up resigning themselves to split the kingdom into two in order to save their people from further deaths. As the war ended, Trimira was its own kingdom and could recover from the plague that was slowly losing ground.

Government

Few years after Trimira became independent; Aleratha changed the inheritance rules toward cognatic-gavelkind, where titles are shared among all children. Aleratha thought that it would instill cooperation between all the inheritors rather than having all of them envy the firstborn. Also, she did not want to risk placing the entire kingdom’s power into the hands of someone that might be flawed.

World Politics

Trimira is known as the symbol of righteousness since Queen Meriel exposed the first warlock and marched on Prophet’s Landing. This led to a delicate relation with the Church. This defiant attitude toward the religious organization brought the support of the native people of the Republic of Vanas. Those that can afford so sometimes move in to Trimira to settle for a new life, farther away from the Templars that are still pretty active within the republic.

Varothell

Population: 7,500

Ruler: Queen Meriel Liafiel

Rarity Modifier: -1

Back when Trimira and Wroven were a single kingdom, Varothell, meaning “Gold Shire” in Wrovenishor, was a little frontier farming community with only two hundreds souls. The land was granted to one of the royal family’s relative. The town knew an economic boom when a gold vein was discovered, leading to a mining exploitation.

When the plague spread over Wroven, Aleratha Liafiel was the baroness of this booming community. As the royal family was decimated, Aleratha was the next in line for the succession of the crown. This claim was contested by her cousin Nindrol whose parent would have been born few days before hers. Both parties refused to let the other win, and thus conflict erupted. Even though she was a mere baroness, she had the support of many counts and her duke. The kingdom went into civil war. Between the skirmishes and the plague, both parties were exhausted. They ended up signing a treaty that both would get a share of Wroven, while surrendering their claim on the other half.

This treaty is the element that made Aleratha’s lands an independent kingdom. The counts and duke pledged allegiance to her and a ceremony took place for her coronation in Varothell.

By now, the town had expanded thanks to the gold mine. A castle has been built to house Trimira’s royal family. The mine is busier than ever with a fair share of the population working to extract and process its precious metal. The forges of Varothell are numerous and kept lit all day long. The marketplace is full of jewelry on display of various levels of craftsmanship.

The town is also known to be home to Shalheira Leovyre, the first priestess of the Creator. She is taking care of the city’s cathedral, along with the bishop.
