The Native Magic of Daotyr – The Bonasas

Posted in Ancient Lands, The Dragongods on June 23, 2012 by coyoteandthunder

Before the world knew of Greater powers – even before the dragongods thought of themselves as such, the pantheon of native draconic dieties dreamed magic into the world through a force called the Bonasas. The Bonasas, or called the Bonatian Circle, is responsible for, and the source of all life, weather, emotion and arcane power in the world. As your character experience the Aepoch of the Primordials, the Bonasas begins to enter your soul and you begin a relationship with it that affects your abilities as a Knight of the Scarlet Eye in a new and fantastic ways. The Bonasas becomes known to you through the material culture, the crafts and treasures, built by the exarchs – these gifts, these Bonatian items are the very essence of magic.

Posted in Ancient Lands on May 3, 2012 by coyoteandthunder

Since the dawn of the first Aepoch of the Raelfaen, the Mount simply refered to as The Thorn had stood between the Tribes of the Chesdyn Seladrine and the savage tribes of the Trog chieftains. When a geo-physical storm wripped the great mountain from reality a valley of tremendous wilderness was formed and the vaccuum of power pleaded to be filled with the blood of the ancient armies. The battle raged for months and in the end the chieftains overtook the civilized tribes of Fey, invading their ancestral lands and taking there queen-witches as there own harlot queens.

Posted in the Fey Dark on January 1, 2012 by coyoteandthunder

In that thin curtain between the Shadowfell and the Fey Wilds is the Fey Dark. This is the land of the Fey Daemon – where the Shadowsworn rule the Shadowfell and the Archfey rule the Fey Wilds, the Fey Daemon are the sovereign power of the dark wilderness between the two. Not evil and certainly not good either, the potent magics that the Fey Daemons wilds is coveted by and not disimilar to the magics of the Oni and the Eladrin. There are many different types of Fey Daemons, some corporeal warriors, like the Fey Daemon of Mitrera, pictured above, some are ethereal and can never enter the material world.

The Alter of the Raven Queen at Adderfell

Posted in Dinnae on December 23, 2011 by coyoteandthunder

The people of the Shattered Islands have united to donate a beautifully built alter for the new Chapel of the Raven queen as constructed by the lords of Adderfell. The alter is made of pure Ebonstone, an arcanely rich material – a good conduit for nether magic rituals. Ebonstone used to channel evil, but now has fallen innert after the destruction of Lesivith, the Ebon Lord in 1111. The alter is a supreme work of art and a great gift of the people.

Favorite of the Raven Queen

Posted in Dinnae on December 23, 2011 by coyoteandthunder

Auria, Aethyr Imyra of the Raven Queen, was the youngest high priestess ever at Raven’s Eyrie in Dinnae. Her ability to decipher shadow script and her strange connection to the Dark Pana made her out to be a savant among her peers and her superiors. Now she is assigned as liaisons with the Ryn Fatom, the Fist of the Queen, the Company of the Black Orchid and oversee their progress as they build their chapel in the Shattered Islands. Her loyalty has yet to be tested, to whether and for whom she may indeed be a confidante for.

The Wereboar Lord

Posted in Dinnae, the Fey Dark on December 22, 2011 by coyoteandthunder

The Heroes of the Black Orchid, in an attempt to take out one of their chief rivals, Lord Rengis Renbill, ended up destroying a large and ancient mansion in the process. Down the street from the Raven’s Eyrie in the Temple District of downtown Dinnae, the heroes found their target in mid-transformation as he was becoming a size large Wereboar (see the picture, as expertly painted by Matt Decker.) They were, of course, ultimately successful in their mission, except for Vindracryl who may be the multiverse’s first Revenant/Wereboar, having come down now with Tusk Fever.
