Posted in Farwalkers, Maiah, Men, Orcs, The Fey People on June 11, 2011 by coyoteandthunder

The Farwalkers. Governing council of the Rural Capital of Maiah. 1135. 7.

Caulfig, a dwarven elder druid has been working as the mayor of Maiah for the past ten years since Judicia the White was stolen by the risen Draco-lich Hundroon. Caulfig’s diplomatic, rhetorical and linguistic skills sustain the region like none other through this unprecedented period of economic growth through out the rural capital.

Gareth Morethail, who faught beside Tim Tigeon at the Battle of Oessthelial 35 years ago. Gareth was trained as a Wreather early on but then he hung out with the then mayor, Heindrich Tigeon too long, so some say and became a ruthless fighter. Loyalty to the Sherriff and to the Tigean family means everything to surly Garth the Bronze.

Brayden Tigeon, Heindrich’s younger brother was a hero in the final wars of the sixth age. Sullen and misanthropic like his elder sibling, Brayden is also known of as the Wolf since his brother, Wolfdog left Maiah forever after Aolbeth’s death.

Glysell FoundEarth is a half-elf planeswalker who scouts for the Wreathers and keeps Maiah safe from extraplanar forces.

Ryrdenn Mumbai, who has come to the aid of Maiah’s civil defense numerous times and has gained the sure confidence of the Farwalkers even though his story is a bit strange. He claims to be the greatgrandfather of Tiki, the Red Queen who has been missing for many years. He has come from the past to help the future.

The Aumbree, a fey spirit, is a secret confidante to the Farwalkers.

Yrthoi, an aven spirit, aid to the Wreathers often sits on Maiahan Town Council.

The Druids of Maiah

Posted in Maiah, Men, Orcs, The Shadow Road, The Sherriff on June 11, 2011 by coyoteandthunder

The Druids, also known as the Court of the Nine Stars, also known collectively as the Wreathers are the most important trans-political organization in the Greater Sorado, and nowhere is this more demonstrated than the rural capital of Maiah.

Just one mile out of the woodlands of Maiah you will find a barren landscape, known by the orcs as Poolis Fyr, the most important druidic magic-site in the Dreamwater. Burials of those who have fallen in battles line the lake like an infinite number of memorials. Druids are essentially, Gatekeepers. They keep natives here and keep outsiders out. That is their primary purpose and the orcs of Ethilistyr have always been the inheritors of this tradition.

Kyralla, daughter of Hearthys, is the leader of the Orcish druids of Maiah. Hearthys died last summer and she is having a hard time adjusting to her new found responsibiliity.

Mahc’Eldynn is an eladrin druid who some believe is over two thousand years old. You can find Mahc’Eldynn at The Fellow Song pub in downtown Maiah every afternoon at two o’clock for a shot of Oba Whiskey.

The Dark Cloak druids, the military force of the Wreathers, helped liberate the Shadowroad, along with Tim Tigean, 25 years ago. There are over three hundred Dark Cloaks who camp around Poolis Fyr and keep the waters of the lake safe.
