Una Breve Historia de Oerik Este

Aunque se tiene poca información sobre la edad temprana, los historiadores creen que Flaenia era tan pacífica como incivilizada. No había estados políticos. La primera raza de humanos que se sabe que poblaba el continente en esta edad era la flaenia.
Al oeste existían dos imperios mágicos que entraron en guerra, al suroeste, el malvado imperio Suelio y directamente al oeste, el imperio Blakunio. Estas guerras duraron más de sesenta años. y muchos refujiados huyeron al este en busca de paz y tranquilidad.
La guerra acabó con un intercambio de hostilidades mágicas que arruinó las tierras de ambos imperios. Los suelios lanzaron la llamada Devastación Invocada que asoló la mayor parte de las tierras blakunias, estos, en respuesta, desencadenaron la Lluvia de Fuego Incoloro que redujo el imperio a un desierto, el actual Mar de Polvo. Los pocos blakunios supervivientes se asentaron en nuevos estados de la costa este del océano Deamidj. Los supervivientes suelios y oeridios se dispersaron por toda Flaenia, arrastrando consigo su belicismo.
Tras dos siglos de guerra, los oeridios se aliaron con los flaenios originales en contra de suelios y orcos. La tribu aerdia de los oeridios estableció el reino de Aerdia en el extremo oriente que creció hasta convertirse en un vasto imperio llamado el Gran Reino, duró tres siglos.
El primer gran desastre para el Gran Reino fue la pérdida de lo que hoy día es Furyondiay Veluna.
En el 356 AC, problemas internos acabaron con la dinastía gobernante, la casa de Rax. La rama más joven, Nyrondia, se rebeló y declaró a sus tierras libres. Una invasión bárbara en las provincias del norte evitó que el Rey pudiera castigar a los rebeldes. Más adelante, Nyrondia se anexionó al condado de Urnst y la Estaca.
Años más tarde, la represión y los altos impuestos llevaron a una rebelión en el sur del Gran Reino. La ciudad de Pueraferro fue la primera en secesionarse, seguida por Idee, Onnwal y Sumndi. Más tarde, el Señorío de las Islas e unió a la Liga de Acero.
Lo peor estaba por llegar. La casa de Rax se debilitó, y ciertas regiones del Gran Reino pasaron a ser gobernadas por otras casas nobles como si fueran reinos independientes. En la primera mitad del siglo quinto, la casa de Naelax destruyó a la casa de Rax en el llamado Tumulto de las Coronas y ocupó el Trono de Malaquita.
Mientras el Gran Reino y otras regiones del oeste crecían y colapsaban, otras partes de Flaenia estaban tomando forma. Durante los últimos años del tercer siglo, los jinetes bárbaros blakunios reclamaron gran parte de las estepas del norte. Cien años más tarde, el príncipe del Mar y los reyes Bandido arrasaron y saquearon todo lo que encontraron en su camino hacia la autonomía política. Sobre el 375 AC, la Ciudad Libre de Falcongrís (Greyhawk) alcanzó su primer período de grandeza bajo el liderazgo de Zagig Yragerne.
Sin embargo, los humanoides, especialmente orcos, estaban sublevados. Cuando los ejércitos semihumanos echaron a los humanoides de las montañas Lortmil, cayeron sobre la península de Pomarj, tras lo cual se apoderaron de esas tierras. En el norte, Iuz el viejo, el hijo medio demonio de una nigromante humana, asedió sus propios reinos y reclutó humanoides para sus ejércitos. En el 560 AC, la provincia más norteña del Gran Reino, la Marca del Hueso fue invadida por humanoides de las Dentadas, ahora se encuentra en un estado casi salvaje.

Razas de Flaenia

Hay pocas razas puras en Flaenia, quizás sólo en los alrededores del continente. Como es de suponer, los humanoides (orcos, goblins,...) no se suelen mezclar con el resto de razas, sin embargo, los humanos actuales son mestizos de casi todas las razas originales, convirtiéndose en lo que hoy en día es el humano medio.

Baklunios: La mayor parte de los asentamientos baklunios se encuentran en las regiones del noroeste de flaenia. Su piel suele ser de un tono parecido al dorado y sus ojos suelen ser verdes o verdes grisáceos, siendo los grises y los avellana menos comunes. Su cabello suele ser negro azulado o castaño oscuro. Suelen vestir con colores llamativos menos en tiempos de guerra, que suelen ser más prácticos. A todos los baklunios se les educa en la estima y consideración del honor, la piedad, la generosidad y la familia. Destacan por sus habilidades mágicas, en especial con la magia elemental y cooperativa. Su mala reputación, debido a la Lluvia de Fuego Incoloro, les persigue por toda Flaenia.

Flaenios: Los flaenios fueron los primeros habitantes al este de Oerik, de ahí su nombre, Flaenia. Originalmente eran grupos de nómadas que no formaban verdaderos asentamientos, las invasiones de suelos y oeridios los desplazaron hace unos mil años. Se les reconoce por su complexión broncínea y sus cabellos ondulados y rizados. Sus tonos de piel van desde el cobrizo claro al marrón oscuro, sus ojos suelen ser marrón oscuro o negros, siendo los más claros poco frecuentes. Suelen tener el pelo negro pero algunos pueden tenerlo algo más claro. Los antiguos flaenios eran gente pacífica que seguían un itinerario regular de migraciones estacionales. Vivían de la tierra y de la caza. Tenían una profunda visión de la naturaleza como entidad. Todos los dioses druídicos conocidos son de origen flaenio. Para muchos flaenios fue posible coexistir con Suelios y Oeridios, pero otros tantos se vieron despojados de sus tierras y se dice que estuvieron a punto de extinguirse.

Oeridios: Hace unos mil años, los oeridios se desplazaron a Flaenia desde el oeste y una vez allí fueron tomando el control de lo que hoy es Furyondia, Perrenlandia, las Tierras Escudo y parte del Gran Reino. A veces resulta difícil distinguirlos de otras razas, con su piel entre morena y aceitunada, cabellos desde rubio miel hasta moreno y ojos bastante comunes en general. Visten con atractivas telas de lana estampadas con cuadros y diseños poco usuales, pero siempre muy ostentosos. Históricamente los oeridios eran fieros guerreros territoriales, lucharon para mantener sus fronteras tanto como para conseguir las tierras que deseaban. Se creen lo mejor de la humanidad y su objetivo es gobernar. Asumen bien sus responsabilidades, acatar órdenes y sacrificarse por el grupo, aunque tienen un carácter temperamental, que quienes controlan, acaban siendo admirados por todas las razas. Consideran la lucha como un oficio y la ejercen con gran seriedad, así pues, también son magníficos herreros. La tradición oeridia exige obsequiar al anfitrión del lugar donde se hospedan. Tienen un gran sentido de la familia.

Suelios: Llegó a Oerik desde las tierras del sur y el oeste de las Cristalinas y los volcanes del Averno. Escapando de las guerras en sus tierras y permitiendo a los flaenios desplazarse a las mismas. Nadie tiene muy claro cómo era el antiguo Imperio Suelio. La mayoría de sus reinos fueron destruidos por la Lluvia de Fuego Incoloro, convirtiéndose en el Mar de Polvo. Los suelios son los de piel más clara entre todas las subrazas humanas, el color de sus ojos va del ázul al violeta pálido y su cabello rubio, pelirrojo o platino. Les encarta incluir ornamentos de herencia familiar en sus vestiduras, que pasan de unos a otros durante generaciones. Tienen un sentido muy marcado de la importancia de lo ancestral y los lazos familiares, por eso luchan entre ellos más que con otras subrazas a causa de su lealtad a sus antepasados. Suelen ser bastante testarudos. Se les conoce bien por su destreza manual. Poseen una gran tradición arcana; de donde se produjo la Devastación Invocada que acabó con el antiguo Imperio Baklunio.

Elfos: Los elfos ("olves" en flaenio) habitaron Flaenia centurias antes de la caída de los Imperios Baklunio y Suelio. Éstos y otros invasores humanoides expulsaron a los elfos de sus hogares en las llanuras y éstos se reinstalaron sin problemas en los bosques, aunque en ocasiones se han visto obligados a aliarse con flaenios y oeridios para repeler invasiones de orcos.

Altos Elfos: Son los más abiertos y paradójicamente los de menor estatura de la raza élfica. Tienen la piel pálida y ojos verdes con cabellos oscuros.
Elfos Grises: Son solitarios. Tienen el pelo plateado y los ojos ambarinos. Ven al Gran Reino como una amenaza.
Elfos Silvanos: También conocidos como elfos de los bosques, suelen ser más solitarios que sus hermanos grises, evitando incluso otras subrazas de elfos.
Grugach o Elfos Salvajes: Viven en los bosques en zonas templadas en pequeñas bandas. Son de pequeña estatura y de piel pálida.
Elfos del Valle: Son tratados con desconfianza por el resto de los elfos. Son inusualmente altos y viven exclusivamente en el Valle del Hechicero. Practican un tipo de magia poco común.
Elfos Acuáticos: Respiran bajo el agua tan bien como fuera de ella. Son palmípedos y prefieren océanos y mares con clima templado o tropical, mantienen ciertas alianzas con los Altos Elfos.

Enanos: Se les llama "nanos" en flaenio. Son musculosos con la piel bronceada y con ojos negros o marrones. Tanto los machos como las hembras tienen barba, aunque algunas son imberbes. Están considerados por muchos los guardianes de los reinos subterráneos. Ya que prefieren vivir bajo tierra donde se dedican a la minería de metales y gemas preciosas. No suelen vivir en ciudades humanas por más de unas semanas. Tienen fama de taciturnos y gruñones pero son aliados excepcionales en cualquier tipo de batalla.

Enanos de las Colinas: Son los más comunes, cooperan con las demás razas y son especialmente valiosos en las batallas contra gigantes y humanoides.
Enanos de las Montañas: Son más bajos y pálidos y mucho menos comunes.
Otras subrazas: Los derro y los duergar (enanos grises) viven en subterráneos más profundos y no se sabe mucho de ellos.

Gnomos: Algunos están convencidos de que los gnomos ("nonos" en flaenio) están relacionados con los enanos, pero guardan pocas similitudes. Prefieren las tierras boscosas, habitando en madrigueras. Su piel presenta un aspecto semejante a la madera. Son trabajadores y les encantan las fiestas.

Gnomos de las Profundidades (svirfneblin): Esta escasa subraza habita en las profundidades de Terra, tienen la piel grisácea y sin pelo. Poseen una excelente infravisión.

Medianos (Halfiings): Su estatura media suele ser la mitad de los humanos, los medianos ("hobis" en flaenio) suelen construir sus hogares como los gnomos. Un vello no muy espeso cubre la mayor parte de su cuerpo, especialmente el dorso de las manos y los empeines. Normalmente viajan descalzos ya que sus plantas son duras y gruesas. Son tranquilos y reservados, y procuran no llamar la atención. Pocos son los que se lanzan a la vida de aventurero.

Piespeludos: Son los más comunes y muchos viven entre los humanos.
Grandullones: Son de complexión más esbelta y miden unas seis pulgadas más. Viven cerca de los elfos.
Fondones: Son seis pulgadas más bajos y viven entre los enanos.

Razas Humanoides:

Kobolds: son los goblinoides más pequeños, cobardes cuando van sólos, prefieren atacar en masa. Sus peores enemigos son los gnomos.
Xvarts: parecidos a los kobolds tienen la piel azulada y se alían con las ratas.
Goblins: Tienen la cara chata, las orejas puntiagudas y la piel anaranjada. Moran en las cavenras, tienen esclavos y odian a humanos y enanos.
Orcos: Son los humanoides más comunes de Flaenia. son muy belicosos y desafían a otras razas para conseguir alimento y espacio vital. Prefieren las cuevas ya que ven en la oscuridad. Odian a los enanos y a los elfos pero han aprendido a respetar a los humanos.
Hobgoblins: son los más feroces y organizados de los goblinoides. Parecen humanos peludos, altos, fuertes y de piel marrón, rojizo o gris.
Gnolls y Flints: Tienen unos siete pies de alto, su cabeza es una mezcla entre hiena y humano, son de naturaleza malvada y egoísta. Suelen tener esclavos y odian a sus propios jefes. Sólo colaboran para formar grupos de asalto.
Ogros: Miden hasta 10 pies, se alimentan de humanos y semihumanos. Son torpes pero peligrosos.

Region: Blackmoor 
Benefit: You receive a +2 bonus on all Knowledge (Arcana) checks. When making a bardic knowledge check, roll d20 twice and use the better of the two results. 

Blood of Kord: You're distantly related to the Suel god Kord, who often takes a mortal woman as his lover. While Kord's immediate offspring develop a host of powers and abilities, the effects upon your blood are much more subtle. 
Region: Suel 
Prereq: Rage ability 
Benefit: When you rage, you gain a pool of 2 bonus points of damage per character level, to be added to the damage of any melee attack made during your rage.

You must declare the use of bonus damage before rolling your attack, if the attack misses, the damage is wasted.

Benefit: You gain a +2 morale bonus to attack rolls and saving throws against fear effects when within 30' of an ally with the Leadership feat. 
Special: You may only take this feat at first level. 

Celestial Scion: You are a member of one of the major noble houses of the former Great Kingdom of Aerdy. 
Regions: Great Kingdom
Benefit: The benefits of this feat depend on the Celestial House to which you belong. Unless your DM allows otherwise, your rank is very minor and grants no game benefits other than those listed below. 
Membership in your family may have intense roleplaying repercussions and benefits, at the discretion of the DM. 
Cranden: You receive maximum starting gold at first level. Due to the diplomatic expertise and sterling reputation of your noble house, you receive a +3 bonus on all Diplomacy checks. Unless otherwise noted, NPCs in the former Great Kingdom have an initial attitude of friendly toward you. 
Darmen: The weapons of choice for your mercantile house are the poisoned words that have killed far more enemies than poisoned blades. When caught in a lie due to an unsuccessful Bluff check, you get an immediate follow-up Bluff check to cover up the "misstatement" with doublespeak. If this Bluff check is successful, ignore the original failed result -- the Bluff attempt goes off successfully, leaving the victim none the wiser. Unless otherwise noted, NPCs in the former Great Kingdom have an initial attitude of friendly toward you if they are middle or upper class. Lower-class serfs understand all too well the contempt most members of House Darmen feel for their "breed," and are initially unfriendly toward you. 
Garasteth: The arcane legacy of Aerdy's House Garasteth is known throughout the Flanaess. Wizard is a favored class for you. A multiclass Garasteth's wizard class does not count when determining whether she takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing. You also get a +2 bonus on Spellcraft checks. Because most folk fear the magical might of your house, NPCs in the former Great Kingdom have an initial reaction of friendly toward you. 
Naelax: You share the bloodline of Ivid the Undying, the mad undead Overking who brought the once-might Great Kingdom to its knees. You receive a +2 bonus to Intimidate checks. Thanks to an unholy pact between Overking Ivid I and a fiend, you enjoy a special relationship with evil outsiders. You have a continuous True Seeing ability, as the spell (CL 16th), but the ability works only against the cloaking spells of demons and devils. This is a supernatural ability. Due to your family's ghastly reputation, NPCs in the former Great Kingdom have an initial attitude of unfriendly toward you. 
Rax-Nyrond: The true heirs of the House of Rax died out long ago, but several illegitimate and minor branches of the family survive. The Rax legacy is not particularly proud, being filled with a succession of incompetents and half-wits. Regardless, the house managed to hoard a great deal of political influence during its time at the head of the Great Kingdom. As an heir of that tradition, you receive a +3 bonus on Gather Information check, and all checks take 1d2 hours. Unless otherwise noted, NPCs in the former Great Kingdom have an initial attitude of friendly toward you. 
Torquaan: The financial might of House Torquaan extends far beyond the borders of the former Great Kingdom. Your family's reputation for squeezing the most out of a gold coin by employing deceit, trickery, cruelty, and good old-fashioned buisness skills allows you a 10% discount on purchases made anywhere where the influence of House Torquaan is known. The DM is free to disallow this discount outside the former Great Kingdom or in locales openly hostile to it or House torquaan. Since many folk see your kinsmen as greedy plutocrats, NPCs in the former Great Kingdom have an initial attitude of unfriendly toward you. 
Special: You must select this feat as a first level character. 

Companion Guard Style [Fighter, General]: You've been trained in the combat style of the gray elven Companion Guard of Celene. 
Regions: Celene, Gray Elf 
Prereq: Proficient with longsword, longspear, and bows; BAB +4. 
Benefits: When fighting with a longsword or longspear, you may use your Dexterity modifier on attack rolls. If you use a shield, it's armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls. Additionally you gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls to confirm critical hits with any bow. 

Deepseer: You see exceptionally well underground. 
Regions: Deep Gnome, Stout Halfling, Mountain Dwarf 
Benefits: You gain darkvision with a range of 30 feet. If you already have darkvision, add 30 feet to the range of your darkvision. 

Defensive Expert [Fighter, General]: You excel at fighting when entrenched. 
Regions: Irongate, Shield Lands, Sunndi, Valley Elf, Valley of the Mage, Yeomanry 
Benefit: Your gain a +6 bonus to AC when benefitting from a cover bonus to AC. You gain a +3 dodge bonus to AC when fighting defensively, or a +4 bonus if your have 5 or more ranks of tumble. 

Desert Fighter [Fighter, General]: You know how to make the most of terrain-inspired advantages in the desert. 
Regions: Bright Lands 
Benefits: When fighting in the desert, you gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC. 

Driftwalker: You aren't slowed by snowy terrain, and know how to disguise your movements in the snow. 
Regions: Frost Barbarians, Ice Barbarians, Perrenland, Snow Barbarians, Stonehold, Wild Elf, Wood Elf 
Benefits: It costs you no squares of movement to move into a snow covered or heavy snow square. You leave no tracks in snowy terrain and cannot be tracked normally. You may choose to leave tracks if so inclined.

Regions: Hill Dwarf, Irongate, Mountain Dwarf, Ulek States

Lenguas Antiguas y Modernas

Muchos estudiosos afirman que sólo cinco de los incontables dialectos al Este de Oerik, han sido o son hablados por suficientes personas como para considerarlos lenguas o idiomas. Estos son: Común, Baklunio Antiguo, Suelio, Viejo Oeridio y Flaenio.

Suelio: Este antiguo idioma estaba muy extendido hasta que casi llegó a extinguirse cuando la Lluvia de Fuego Incoloro destruyó el Imperio Suelio. Hoy en día prácticamente no es hablado, incluso por los estudiosos que conocen la lengua.

Flaenio: Sin duda la lengua más antigua que todavía sigue en uso. Muchos siguen hablando Flaenio en toda Flaenia, aunque éste ha ido transformándose durante los años. Hoy en día surgen dificultades para traducir antiguos textos Flaenios.

Baklunio Antiguo: Es uno de los antecesores de la lengua Común. Los Baklunios siguen usándola como forma de identificar a su pueblo, aunque ha sufrido muchos cambios. Las tribus que continúan usándola están aprendiendo la lengua Común porque es importante para el comercio.

Viejo Oeridio: Se trata de una nueva lengua, hasta hace unos años estaba apartada de la influencia de otras lenguas. Como resultado, sus características lingüísticas son únicas y su traducció a cualquier lengua exceptuando el común, es imposible.

Común: Es una combinación entre el Baklunio Antiguo y el dialecto del Viejo Oeridio que se habla en el Gran Reino. Cualquiera que cruce una frontera debería hablar común o al menos tener unas nociones básicas. Muchas lenguas pasan por el común para ser traducidas a otras lenguas, debido a su carácter universal.

CONDADO DE SUNNDI  (Miembro de la Liga de Hierro)

Su Brillante Señoría, el Conde Hazendel de Sunndi

Capital: Pitchfield (3000)
Población: 60000
No Humanos: Elfos grises (7000), Enanos de las montañas (3000+), Gnomos (2000+)
Humanoides: Diversos
Recursos: Electrum, Platino, Gemas

El Condado de Sunndi una vez fue un feudo dentro de un feudo, concedido a un compañero leal de un Herzog del Virrey de ​​la Provincia del Sur del Gran Reino. Después de un largo período de impuestos desmesurados, brutalidad de las tropas reales y del Herzog y acoso a sus habitantes no humanos, éstos últimos se unieron a los nobles de la zona formando una insurrección general contra el gobierno Aerdio y en 455 CY se convirtió en parte de la Liga de Hierro. El condado está bien protegido por barreras naturales que le permiten defenderse: el denso Bosque Rieu y colinas al este y al oeste, la península Tilvanot al sur que hacen de Sunndi un gran pantano semisalado (esto es un arma de doble filo , ya que hay un gran número de criaturas muy desagradables que habitan en él). Los bienes del condado provienen tanto de sus recursos naturales (incluyendo la agricultura) como del comercio: por tierra con Idee , por mar con Duxchan. Sunndi está amenazado continuamente, sin embargo, desde el norte por las legiones del Herzog, desde el este por las fuerzas del Santo Censor de Medegia y por los barones del mar a lo largo de sus costas.

El Pantano Vasto

La zona pantanosa en forma de V por encima del cuello de la Península Tilvanot está hundida por el centro terminando en acantilados a lo largo de ambas costas. Este ahuecamiento hace que el agua forme estanques permanentes y arroyos y riachuelos de variable caudal y forma. El laberinto de agua resultante y su vegetación se conoce como el Pantano Vasto. El movimiento del agua dentro de él indica que, en general drena hacia el sur. Debe haber canales subterráneos a través de los cuales ejecuta su salida. Sobre un lecho de piedra caliza, arcillas, limos, y turba de la vegetación en descomposición se ha generado un rico ecosistema. lirios fabulosos, enredaderas, helechos y cipreses se aglomeran entre las aguas turbias del pantano.
Los vecinos de Sunndi al norte de la vasta ciénaga tienen opiniones encontradas sobre el Pantano. Por un lado, es una gran protección contra las invasiones de los siniestros habitantes de la Península de Tilvanot, pero es un nido de enfermedades y está lleno de peligros tales como Fuegos Fautos y muchas otras criaturas. Los cocodrilos gigantes del centro del pantano ganan su asombroso tamaño debido a una dieta muy peculiar, pero el número de esos batracios es casi ínfimo.
Hombres lagarto y trogloditas compiten por el espacio vital con los degenerados hombres rana y todo tipo de sapos venenosos, serpientes, insectos que se suman a la impresionante variedad de desagradable flora y fauna . Se dice que existe una comunidad de elfos grises salvajes hacia el sur, maestros viticultores, por encima de las aguas del pantano prácticamente intransitables. Existen muchos cuentos y leyendas relativas a esto, sobre todo en tiempos antiguos antes de que el pantano fuera tan amplio como lo es ahora. La más frecuentemente es la del Semiliche Acererak, que se dice gobernó el pantano en un pasado distante y ahora tiene su Tumba en algún lugar dentro de sus confines.
