2Moons - Lore

[Detomah]

Loa
The Stone City. Once the cultural center of Haran, it is now one of the last outposts of survivors in a world plagued by Pitborn. Its craft and art have not been entirely lost, but The Incar and The Azure have all but requisitioned the entire city for their own purposes.

Braiken
A long-abandoned castle that became a refuge for those fleeing from the ever-widening onslaught of Abaddon’s minions, it’s now eclipsed in size and population only by Loa. Its denizens resent the holier-than-thou attitude of The Stone City and don’t miss a chance to talk shit about how much tougher they are than the pantywaists in Loa

North Morte
A proving ground for new recruits and warriors of all types, this place is the first taste of real danger many will see before venturing out into the wide world of Haran..

North Ares
Just as North Morte is, North Ares was tailored specifically to aid those seeking to live a life of battle. Here, inherent skills are polished and new skills are learned.

Denebe
A swampland inhabited by all manner of Pitborn beasts. Only a small outpost of Haranians remain in this dank place. Squalid as it might be, it is a crossroads to many realms.

Den
Here once lived The Bonereavers, devout followers of Abaddon. They built this place to channel dark energies and summon unholy entities to do the bidding of The Abyss. Norak translates roughly as “the way of the damned.”

Castor
The first stronghold built by Abaddon’s hordes many centuries ago. It remained completely undetected until its construction was nearly complete. By then, it was too late. Despite innumerable attempts to clear it out, it has always been rife with Pitborn.

Haihaff
The kingdom of Trieste, The White Lady. She chose this frozen place to rule after The Old Ones abandoned Haran. Parca Temple, her seat of power, rests in northern Haihaff. Many battles were fought here, and the enemies of Haran still prowl here in Trieste’s absence.

Darco
The great desert was not always such a desolate waste. Before The Battle of A Thousand Magicians razed all life in it to dust, it was a vast garden, the green jewel of Haran. A few oases remain, shadows of what once was.In the southwest corner lies Python Castle, a haunted and forbidding prison.

Requies
Resting on the edge of the Pederan Ocean, Requies was the ancestral home of a savage people that
were routed by The Segnale when they fled The Abyss. Rumors abound that The Segnale have underground tunnels throughout Requies, but no such thing has been proven. A great and powerful evil is held here that none have ever seen and lived to tell of.

Avalon
The Isle of The Dead, Avalon houses the souls of all The White Blades who have died in battle. An ancient power holds sway in the center of the island. What it is, none can say, but not Trieste ventured there..

Crespo
The coldest place in Haran, and home to a rift between worlds that The Augur did not (or will not) close. Though the rift is dormant, monstrous Pitborn dwell here, trying always to call forth their brethren from The Abyss..

The Crevasse of Revenge
Here lives The Saint of Blades and what remains of his followers, The White Blades. It was in this place that he was abandoned by all the peoples of Haran in the final battle against Abaddon and his dread army. Called simply Revenge by those who know this unforgiving place, a strange power fills the hearts of all who pass through with a thirst for vengeance.

Parca Temple
Trieste’s seat of power. Before she left this world, she imprisoned some of the most powerful of Abaddon’s servants here. It is a center for worship and healing, but also a place of ancient knowledge.

Python Castle
Once the stronghold of Baphomet, The Black Mage, it is now his prison. Dread creatures dwell here, devouring all those who might attempt to free him. Only by traversing The Draco can anyone come to this place, and only the very powerful will be granted entrance.

Tomb of The Black Dragon
Little is known of this place. A path to it is rumored to exist inside Python Castle. If the rumor is true,
none live to confirm it.
