History of Tharcia clues

Trip to Caves of chaos

From the chapel of evil chaos…The south wall is covered by a huge

tapestry which depicts a black landscape, barren trees, and

unidentifiable but horrible black shapes in silhouette – possibly

demons of some sort - holding aloft a struggling human. A gray sky is

torn by wisps of purple clouds, and a bloody moon with a skull-like

face on it leers down upon the scene.

Stroglee says… the bloody moon with a skull-like face was the

symbol for the God of death, Thanatos. Thanatos was worshipped

by the Thracians that survived the rain of colorless fire.

Hafner: The ruler of the lizard men, the Immortal King , a long-dying sorcerer of vast power, transformed himself into a lich and await the return of his people. The lizard men sealed away their temples and scattered into the swamps. Lia: At this time humans began using the beast men ( gnolls, minotaurs, dog brothers ) as slaves, and it was with their labor this secret cavern was transformed into an underground palace and pleasure dome for Thracian nobility . This work was completed under the reign of Argos II . Tincel: 150 years later worship of the Death God Thanatos was outlawed , his priests tortured to death or sealed away alive inside his temple on the 1st floor .

Plaza clues • Thracia is a sub-tribe of the Suel

• The ruins at Etraike were of a major Suel city

• The plaza map showed a major road network through the Suss forest

• One of the sub-tribes symbols was a black sword, trident and a hammer

Plaza Map When the weapons symbol was placed in the magic table a route was illuminated on the plaza map. The route lead from the plaza to a dock on a large lake. The route then traveled across the lake to a smallish city. The drawings on the map showed a fish symbol at this location. There were three roads from here, north-west, north and south-east. The illumination route followed the north road over a small mountain to a river. There the route followed the river, then it exited the river north, onto a road traveling east and west . The route went east along the road until it crossed a large stone bridge over a deep chasm. The illuminated route continued east; but unfortunately, this section of the plaza map was destroyed.

Henchmen

Effective Location of Henchmen: While there might be as many as 25 or more prospective henchmen in the city of 25,000 cited above, the player character desirous of locating one or more for service must be able to reach the NPCs in order to let them know there is a henchman position available. In order to get this sort of information around, there are several methods which can be used singularly or in combination: Method Cost Effectiveness POSTING NOTICES IN PUBLIC 50 g.p. 10% - 40% HIRING AGENTS TO SEEK PROSPECTS 300 g.p. 20% - 50% FREQUENTING INNS AND TAVERNS special special HIRING A CRIER 10 g.p. 1% - 10% Each method can be tried but once a month with any hope of success. Reduce the percentage chance of effectiveness of each method by 5% when used in combination; this reflects the duplication of effort. The special costs for frequenting inns and taverns is a combination of the price of a round of drinks for the house and a fee to the barkeep to mention the prospective employer to adventurers. For each 10 g.p. (50 g.p. maximum) of fee, there is a 1% - 4% chance of reaching a henchman. Classes Of Prospective Henchmen: Of the total number of prospective characters who are capable of working upwards in level, the distribution of class will be as follows: CLERICS 20% FIGHTERS 44% MAGIC-USERS 20% THIEVES 15% SORCERER 1 % Races Of Prospective Henchmen: 80% Human, 15% half-elf, 5% Genasi

Schitt’s Creek Queen Sheba speaks

• Your group is the first adventurers from across the river (west) in 10 years

• There is a sub-tribe of Suel that she calls the ‘metal men’ because they wear plate

• The location of the metal men is north-east

• Over the low mountain is a tribal village on a river

• Down the river before the falls is Fort Bravo

• Supplies from the north have slowed down over the last two years

Large population of ½ elves and Genasi

Henchmen as per the ad&d dmg Alchemist: one steel longsword = one item, sold out!

Village store: one steel longsword = 450gp Many new items!!!

Alchemist – Simbolic Air Genasi

If the spell is on your class’s spell list but of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must make an ability check using your spellcasting ability to determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a failed check, the spell disappears from the scroll with no other effect.

Once the spell is cast, the words on the scroll fade, and the scroll itself crumbles to dust.

Genasi

Those who think of other planes at all consider them remote, distant realms, but planar influence

can be felt throughout the world. It sometimes manifests in beings who, through an accident of

birth, carry the power of the planes in their blood. The genasi are one such people, the offspring of

genies and mortals. The Elemental Planes are often inhospitable to natives of the Material Plane:

crushing earth, searing flames, boundless skies, and endless seas make visiting these places

dangerous for even a short time. The powerful genies, however, don’t face such troubles when

venturing into the mortal world. They adapt well to the mingled elements of the Material Plane, and

they sometimes visit—whether of their own volition or compelled by magic. Some genies can adopt

mortal guise and travel incognito.During these visits, a mortal might catch a genie’s eye. Friendship

forms, romance blooms, and sometimes children result. These children are genasi: individuals with

ties to two worlds, yet belonging to neither. Some genasi are born of mortal–genie unions, others

have two genasi as parents, and a rare few have a genie further up their family tree, manifesting an

elemental heritage that’s lain dormant for generations.

Genasi Traits

Your genasi character has certain characteristics in common with all other genasi.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Primordial. Primordial is a guttural language,

filled with harsh syllables and hard consonants. Ability Score Increase Your Constitution

score increases by 2.

Age

Genasi mature at about the same rate as humans and reach adulthood in their late teens.

They live somewhat longer than humans do, up to 120 years.

Alignment

Independent and self-reliant, genasi tend toward a neutral alignment.

Size

Genasi are as varied as their mortal parents but are generally built like humans, standing

anywhere from 5 feet to over 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Air Genasi

As an air genasi, you are descended from the djinn. As changeable as the weather, your moods

shift from calm to wild and violent with little warning, but these storms rarely last long.

Air genasi typically have light blue skin, hair, and eyes. A faint but constant breeze accompanies

them, tousling the hair and stirring the clothing. Some air genasi speak with breathy voices, marked

by a faint echo. A few display odd patterns in their flesh or grow crystals from their scalps.

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

Unending Breath

You can hold your breath indefinitely while you’re not incapacitated.

Mingle with the Wind

You can cast the levitate spell once with this trait, requiring no material components, and you

regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting

ability for this spell.

Earth Genasi

As an earth genasi, you are descended from the cruel and greedy dao, though you aren’t

necessarily evil. You have inherited some measure of control over earth, reveling in superior

strength and solid power. You tend to avoid rash decisions, pausing long enough to consider your

options before taking action.

Elemental earth manifests differently from one individual to the next. Some earth genasi always

have bits of dust falling from their bodies and mud clinging to their clothes, never getting clean no

matter how often they bathe. Others are as shiny and polished as gemstones, with skin tones of

deep brown or black, eyes sparkling like agates. Earth genasi can also have smooth metallic flesh,

dull iron skin spotted with rust, a pebbled and rough hide, or even a coating of tiny embedded

crystals. The most arresting have fissures in their flesh, from which faint light shines.

Ability Score Increase

Your Strength score increases by 1.

Earth Walk

You can move across difficult terrain made of earth or stone without expending extra movement.

Merge with Stone

You can cast the pass without trace spell once with this trait, requiring no material components,

and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a long rest. Constitution is your

spellcasting ability for this spell.

Fire Genasi

As a fire genasi, you have inherited the volatile mood and keen mind of the efreet. You tend toward

impatience and making snap judgments. Rather than hide your distinctive appearance, you exult in

it.

Nearly all fire genasi are feverishly hot as if burning inside, an impression reinforced by flaming red,

coal- black, or ash-gray skin tones. The more human-looking have fiery red hair that writhes under

extreme emotion, while more exotic specimens sport actual flames dancing on their heads. Fire

genasi voices might sound like crackling flames, and their eyes flare when angered. Some are

accompanied by the faint scent of brimstone.

Ability Score Increase

Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

Darkvision

You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were

dim light. Your ties to the Elemental Plane of Fire make your darkvision unusual: everything you

see in darkness is in a shade of red.

Fire Resistance

You have resistance to fire damage.

Reach to the Blaze

You know the produce flame cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the burning hands

spell once with this trait as a 1st-level spell, and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you

finish a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Water Genasi

The lapping of waves, the spray of sea foam on the wind, the ocean depths—all of these things call

to your heart. You wander freely and take pride in your independence, though others might

consider you selfish.

Most water genasi look as if they just finished bathing, with beads of moisture collecting on their

skin and hair. They smell of fresh rain and clean water. Blue or green skin is common, and most

have somewhat overlarge eyes, blue-black in color. A water genasi’s hair might float freely,

swaying and waving as if underwater. Some have voices with undertones reminiscent of whale

song or trickling streams.

Ability Score Increase

Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

Acid Resistance

You have resistance to acid damage.

Amphibious

You can breathe air and water.

Swim

You have a swimming speed of 30 feet.

Call to the Wave

water spell as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait, and you regain the ability to cast it this way

when you finish a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
