Chronicles of the World of DaoTyr

Below is a map of Arboria, the country to the west of Maiah. Click to enlarge. The account that follows relates how the Necropolis known as Oesenthia (or East Church which has been an eladrin masoleum reaching back to antiquity,) has become an active, furious and military force with the coming of the Ebon Boon on the Hunter’s Moon, year 1111. It is these legions, lead by the Beholder brothers, Merdel and Oaxthen and their fel leader, Proticulus the necromancer who continue having pinned Daelfort, imminently move against Maiah.

The Storm Herd, a name for the enormous herd of undead pegasai that issues forth from the a confluence in the rivers of Barrenton and Fed’l Fein that will soon no longer exist.

Heading south, history will come to know this moment as when the Horned King made his presence know across the Dreamwater and darkness covered DaelFort.

The City, with the exception of the Library and the Church, are evacuated within an afternoon under the protection of the Deeptread Merrow, a group of eladrin whoworship Osha and Melora.      

The Necropolis of Oessenthia rises at the confluence  of the rivers, forever changing the course of the Fed’l Fein River.

The rising of the City of the Dead sends forth a flood across the fields of Sindoe, killing nearly 10 families who had farmed the land since before antiquity.     

Rumors abound of a terrible floating monster with one tremendous eye and an insatiable maw that eats children and spits out the bones.

The Dream Thush, a servant of the Archfey known as the Thunderbird, escorts hundreds of other innocent souls to safety.     

The Absolver Thrull, Absencion, a being of Gavin Wel comes to aid the families of the Deluge of Sindoe and together with Terese, a fey power with a golden spear called Pollenbright, encounter the thing with the eye, whom they called Merdel and having defeated it returned in triumph to Daelfort.     

Merdel was reconstituted by powers then unknown and attacked Daelfort with stalks of ray like destruction that spread wanton violence killing hundreds.

It is learned by the Dwarven Miner, Jamul, how once lived in HammerGuard, that there was an angel of Gavin Wel, known only as the Wings of Aesthir, who betrayed the people of Dreamwater and infomed the Storm Shaman Lovisa Balduvian, an acolyte of the Horned King, the secret of Everlife: a mystical process that may or may not include Ebonstone.     

Ebonstone is mined at BlackMine and it made into art and currency by local artisans at Daelfort.     

A legion of wraiths issue forth from Oesenthia and only fire from the fey pyres of the woods keep them at bay. The place known as Accesltamn becomes the front line of a horrid battle. There are angels of fire from Gavin Wel that come to defend the rural people north of the Diamond Meadows.

Saffri Erikthael, a ranger woman of Gavin Wel infultrates Oessenthia  with the help of young Isus Tigean, a loyalist of the Sherriff and indeed carries a royal name. They are armed with the Wanderer’s Twig, a potent divination, a gift of Osha. They learn of the EbonBoon, a power that is rising in the Dreamwater and will destroy most of South County.     

The Suspensia, a patrol of Men and Elves from Daelfort, armed by the Sherriff hold the line that defines the suburbane center of Daelfort. A patrol of demon-like zombies, whom en now call Shades, march across and do battle mightly with the men of uspensia at the site of Rockir. The timber forts of Eaglin and Marnyr are erected and enforced with crystal underpinings at the funding of the mayor of Farthrow, an honorable man named Chaeska Tresserhorn.    

Three-headed undead horse-like beasts called by men Mispmares descend on Eaglin and the Angelic Curator of the library at Berrenberg meets them in combat, both are condemmed to die by the Cabal Archon, Proticulus, a necromancer in service of the Horned King. Joined by the Executioner and the Disciple of Malice, Proticulus has become a major force in South County.

The battles still rage. Isus contacts his great uncle, Elmer, cousin of the Sherriff, a beast of a man who spent many years in Hyth Amir and has taken on the title Riftcutter, joins the mayor of Beglum, Chaeska, Together they build  Dael fort as a military stronghold of Men.     

It is then learned that Merdel is one of two, so called Beholders, the other, named Oaxthen, lies north of the town and exists to vex the people of Arborea.
