The Ghalian continent is broken up intoseven main areas: The Morm-Ghal Basin,The Great Holt, The Morroden Swamps, TheDurm Mountains, The Ki-Roch Marshes,Lochana and Nar-Ghal.Morm-Ghal BasinThe Morm-Ghal Basin is a forest-dominated archipelago, arocky coast off the Holtslan Bay. In the northern region theKhagal Gorgo, Tribe of Light, live in the lower mountainsand on the exposed coastline. In the south the Khagal Mal,Tribe of Earth, has a stronghold just north of Lochana.The Venatan Expeditionary Forces, led by General Zhorgal,have also established a base on the islands in the easternregion facing the Finaur Crossing. The sparsely populatedand confusing archipelago also make it a common hideoutfor pirates and bandits.LochanaThis heavily forested area contains both high mountain passes as well aslarge lush valleys. There are a large number of ancient ruins and structureslocated throughout the region. This is the most heavily contested area inGhalia. With the Khagal Tribes moving down from the north, the Nexusexpeditionary troops moving up from the south and General Zhorgal’s Venataforces coming from the east, Lochana is being squeezed on all fronts asthese three opposing forces converge on the area seeking the Skyfall Relics.Great HoltThe Great Holt is a treacherous mountain region that is populated by the mostorganized and fierce of the Khagal Tribes; Aebon Ominar, the Tribe of Ruin.Little is known or charted about this region and few come back alive whoventure there.Morroden SwampsThis area is a thickly vegetated swamp region littered with a maze of paths and tunnels created by the inhabitants,the Khagal Morroden, Tribe of Blight. Although the region is heavily infested with the KhagalMorroden there is also a host of dangerous wildlife making it one of the least traveled areas of Ghalia.The Durm MountainsThe fearsome Khagal Repara, Tribe of Fire, inhabitthe Durm Mountain region. Their loveof the Fire Aether Gem which is found plentifullyin the area is the basis for their fierce defenseof the region. A complex maze of cavesand chasms exist throughout the region whichthe Repara often use for surprise attacks. Theyactively patrol the region as well as send organizedraids into the nearby regions of Ki-Rochand Lochana.The Ki-Roch MarshesThis dank and unpleasant area is a combinationof thick overgrown swamps and morelightly forested marshes. Furthermore it isfilled with a variety of inhospitable wild creaturesas well as inhabited by pockets of smalland disorganized Khagal Marsh Tribes. Itsclose vicinity to the Nexus makes it one of themore accessible areas to venture to, but its disagreeableand treacherous environment meansthat nobody goes there unless they absolutelyhave to.Nar-GhalNar-Ghal is the southernmost tip of Ghalia and contains the Nexus Outpost. This area is the staging groundand stronghold of the Nexus forces. Filled with long inlets, lush valleys and ore-filled mountains, it is also themost inhabitable location on the continent. Previously this area was quite safe but recently the Khagal havebeen staging raids further and further south into Nar-Ghal. In the current state of affairs, with all franticallyseeking the Skyfall Relics, there seems to be no safe location left in Ghalia. In the last year, many of the Nexus-basedsettlers have decided to leave Nar-Ghal due to the constant raids and increasing danger.

Times ofduress and war has diminished their kind ever since the fall of their firstestablishment in Shilum, the great city of the west which fell to a tsunamiduring the first Skyfall.The adventurers are contacted by Kaperneus, a seasoned artificer whoestablished and leads the Nexus Inventor’s guild, in order to investigatesensitive matters related to Khagal interceptions of his expeditions sentto gather relics of the past in Ghalia. Further investigation unravels thata Venatan Special Circumstances Officer is surveying the area, looking toacquire the same information.One of Ghalias best kept mysteries is the whereabouts of the legendaryArtificer Obatymos’ final rest. Obatymos was rumored to have fled Shilumduring its final hours, bringing with him a portion of the InventorCinder Legion and stealing a mysterious piece of wondrous technologyonly mentioned in passing as a thing that could spell ruin or victory forthe city. For what will soon be obvious reasons, Obatymo tried to hidethese relics away forever from both the Venata and the Cinder Legionof Shilum.The clues soon paint a more complete picture of a hidden route throughthe mighty Durm mountains into a valley where Obatymo supposedlyhid his lair. The adventurers will travel far to seek out the secrets ofObatymo, racing to find the ominous relics before the Venatan specialforces and the Serpentican cult gains control of them.Search for the Ancient Skyfall RelicsEighteen years prior to the present day on planet Aethereus the AstrographerAcralantis discovered ancient texts revealing the power of theSkyfall Relics and other ancient technologies. When the stories of thisspread across Aethereus many adventurers begin to search for clues to thewhereabouts of these valuable items.The clues pointed to an ancient civilization that existed before the FirstGreat Skyfall. As more clues began to surface it was confirmed that manyancient temples and pyramids contained secret chambers that could beunlocked. Powerful objects, maps, scrolls and other clues were discoveredwhich seemed to have confirmed Acralantis’ initial findings that the Ancient Skyfall Relics did exist and that they had such power that whoevercould possess these objects would surely have ultimate power.This sparks a mad search from the Venatan Empire and the GhalianSerpentica Cult to find these Relics. The leaders of the Nexus City-Statedecided that they must act and try and discover the Ancient Skyfall Relicsbefore they fell into the wrong hands. They created the Nexus SpecialExpeditionary Forces and placed Alana as its leader and secretly recruitednew agents such as you to join in the search. For if the Serpentica Cultor the Venatan Empire was to wield such power it would surely spell thedoom for the Nexus and all the free peoples of Aethereus.38
