study of zarchtons

zarchtons are amphibious creatures
that are at home on dry land as in
water, but they never leave too far
from water, because they are depend-
ent of moisture and need to dampen
their skin from time to time.

the origin of zarchtons is highly
debated topic. some say zarcht-
ons have evolved from fishes and
some say they we're originally land
creatures that have moved to
live partially in water. some-
times zarchtons are seen far in the
open sea and they are often mistak-
en for mermaids.

being amphibious creatures, zarch-
tons have both lungs and gills,
so they can breath air and in
water. zarchtons have primitive
culture system and they make use
of resources from the sea to create
clothing and accessories from
shellfishes and other small crea-
tures they hunt.

swimming in water and walking on
land have developed zarchtons'
leg muscles to enable them to
take long leaps to help them
hunt their prey and attack any one
coming to their territory.

unknown years
not much is known of these years. it is
believed that the first sentient
beings, humans, minotaurs, and lizard
men were given birth by the a???to
during this time. it is believed
that insectoids crawled out from
the great ksafi desert much later.

age of clash
turbulent times when sovereign
states fought over the rule and
land, of northern realms with bril-
liant war tactics, court scheming
and strong alliances house abb?arc
of the areonan snat ...power and fi
nally built a thriving empire, the
eareonan empire that lasted for
eight hundred years.

people of the north and the south. cor-
ruption and the first great clot
blood plague gnawed at the empire. fi-
nally in the endless internal power
struggle, the empire divided into
malanian empire and kingdom of theraen.
the malanian empire was led by arefar fe
sancconjon, a powerful man raised far
away in the eastern lands, who was be
lieved to possess the strength of
demons but little more is known of him.
wild and terrifying stories of his
cruelties pread over the lands and
its believed that sancconjon him
self started the rumors to streng-
hten his rule.

the lands to the north, especially
the region where the malanian empire
once stood, is dangerous wilderness.
it is believed that the land is
cursed by demons and the spilled
blood of endless battles. there is a
strong mistrust between the north-
erners and southerners. the southern-
ers refer to the people of the north as
demon worshippers. signs of the old
empire can still be found in ancient
ruins.

the short history of the known world
as written down is the books of the
royal library. eastern lands have a
different reckoning of years. there is a
large gap in the known history between
the age of ancestors and age of clash
because of the great fire that con-
sumed many ancient books in the library.

the royal palace is a vast white
structure on a tree topped hill at
the heart of the city it can be seen
from practically every location in
the city. the palace contains the
seat the of king the royal library
the royal garden and the court where
important criminals who the king
wants to make an example are judged
and sometimes executed straight
away in public. the palace also con-
tains the council chambers. the king
has delegated most of the adminis-
trative tasks to ten councilmen who
are chosen by the king himself. the king
has absolute power in the kingdom and
can change any rulings of the council
at will

the port of nothampton is vast and
a busy place that operates every hour
of every day. large ships from ormund
harbardar port balabar and mysteri-
ous faraway lands to the east are
always found anchored or docked here.
xafian ships regularly take travel-
ers on board to south but the trip
can be very expensive unless you have a
writ from the king or the council

the great market of nothampton has
an endless supply of exotic spices.
clothes and luxury items from all
over the known world. the place is
also full of pickpocketers. the prices
are generally much higher than else
where in the kingdom because the people
of the capital are wealthier here.

red hills
this mountain range is named for its
peculiar red hue. there are numerous iron
mines and mining villages in the area
the iron is the source of kingdom of
theraen's wealth. the iron is manufac
tured to red steel in ranwyn, a forti-
fied town with endless rows of
smelting houses and constant black
fumes shadowing the sky.
