Keljmar is the leader of the Radian Knights. the Radian Knights are druids loyal to the COE but not necessarily to the People’s Army. They are also called the Votaries.
The Radian Knights form an alliance with the Skyhunters of Gavin Wel to battle the Dreamthieves at Oratel. A particularly vicious fight with hundreds dead after the second Harvest Moon of 1103, just prior to the Fall of Brother’s Head Fort and the undoing of the the possession spell of the Dream Thieves.

Fiola, the Blind Druid, also known as the Scavenger has been building the Hellian Fence, which is actually a Lae line across the face of Berenium for many months. The Fence is designed as a defensive force against eh growing power of the Cult of the Liege from Ragyiel.

Shown here above the Red Tower at the Berenium front of the Civil War, one of the spear warriors of the reknowned Skyhunters flies a war griffon. With their large beaks and small hind legs, the griffons of Gavin Wel are carefully bred to preserve these features which makes them appears more fearsome and appear almost as flying lizards.
In the massive underground sewers of old Khepathia, a dark realm known as Urboni, benieth present day Berennium, just east of Brothers’ Head Fort, the Syphon mage governs the Scab Clan, mutant goblinkind augmented by cathidic ritual.
Golifer, a Syphon Mage. has been stealing dwarven children from Gnarfold to sustain his experiments on goblin kind. The Sherriff of Gavin Wel Valley found him just before Autumn Feast in 1103 and destroyed his terrible machine.
the Scab clan Maulers no longer exist following the destruction of Golifer.
The Stickarein Blade is the family blade of the Besallyn family. In Zarconus’ hand as he grows in self knowledge, the sword is growing in power as well. The Sword is legendary and when combined with Zarconus’ dragonmark, there are few who can suffer its might. The blade design itself was copied by the Council of Eagles for commission in the People’s army in the early season of 1103. Nearly one thousand copies of the gold blade were forged.
Judy explains that there is an ancient demon of fire and smoke called the Hellspark who lives in the dragon forge, an ancient curse on the old weapon. Sensing the threat, the Hellspark bursts to life as Zarconus approaches. The beast is no match for the wielder of the Stickarein blade and is put down quickly before the power of the sword and the dragonmark.
The Dragon Forge is an ancient weapon of mysterious purpose. When Judy shows it to Zarcnous it is clear that it has something to do with the dragon mark stretched and burned with destiny across Zarconus’ body. The ancient machine springs to life when the Claw of Bahamut approaches. (click to enlarge image.)
Judicia, or Judy, now a knight of the Platinum Dragon, meets Zarconus again for the first time since childhood at Niskantel. After the meeting with the COE, she shows him the Dragon Forge built long ago in the sandstone pits under Niskantel.
Genot-Paine is a pocket in the Shadowfel. Avari learns to travel there from Akon-Aht, her ancient book that reveals to her the deeper mysteries of the multiverse.
After being swallowed in Avari’s arcane weaponary to his demise, the so-called, Anathamancer met his end in the void world of Genot-Paine a place inside Avari. The evil sword Rendgray remains powerful and Avari learns that its disenchantment may be a long journey, not simply the turning of a proverbial key.
Avari’s apartment in Niskantel is appropriately above the library. It is her belief from her studies that she has the potential to shut down the evil sword Rendgrey as an evil force in the world. It may be that the mystery of this is the mystery of herself.
Rhyan Laurent, younger sister to the world’s most famous bard, Julien Laurent, seeks out Avari and becomes friends with the young eladrin. Rhyan knows the space to find the Athenamancer, the creator of the sword Rendgrey.Mslbrg, Orcish prince challenged Tim, the Sherriff of Gavin Wel Valley to the mortal combat ceremony of Naril Kwenosh. Ultimately a mating ceremony, it turns out that Mslbrg is L’gasi’s ex-betrothed and this battle was to decide who would marry L’gacy.
In Orcish tradition, the battle itself, which took place in the Barbarian Circle outside of Maiah, is the wedding. In front of an audience of many hundred men and orcs, Tim bested Mslbrg and became the Khani Ahan, the War King of Thornbite, L’gasi’s clan. Tim does not recognize the marriage and is ambivolent about L’gasi. After this perceived slight, L’gasi has left Tim and apparently traveled north out of the valley to fight the coming Blight at Femin.
With ancient Alabaster Sentinels at each juncture along the now opened Shadow Path that leads from Maiah to Niskantel in the Gavin Wel Valley, the Civil War in the North Counties is effectively sated and a tentaive peace is drawn between the local people as they look north to a common enemy of greater portend.
The path itself is a real thing, wide enough for a standard wagon to pass, through an amazingly dense wilderness uniting the City of Gavin Wel with its suburbs in an unsurpassed logistical manner.
On the outskirts of Niskantel the unholy place called Hibrenahl, a place of blight and the crypt of a vampire clan that goes back centuries. It was here that Walder and Besira located Suri, the vampire princess and slew here in her coffin. This assassination of a reputed local crime boss secured the Leader of the Mice Eyes dealing rights throughout the Northern Counties of the Valley.
Suri is the Daughter of Vampire Kings and wields a sword called AnulGrey, a sister sword to Rendgrey. A power beyond even this young vampire’s understanding. While Walder invaded her crypt it could be that the sentient sword betrayed its owner to get closer to Rendgrey, in the hands of Avari, a traveling companion to the Thief Lord.
