A variety of powerful factions shapes life on Gedan. Five of these factions in particular seek out the Fallen Star for their own purposes. As cunning and resourceful individuals, the party may be working as trusted agents of one of these factions. In exchange the party receives the material support of the powerful faction and gains access to certain secret information regarding the Fallen Star.
The Modern history of Gedan, as the sages of the Cyrillian Academy discuss it, began over a thousand years ago with the end of the War of the Dragons. For centuries the dragons battled each other for dominance,locking the world in a long dark age astheir violent struggles devastated the cities of the lesser mortal Ancestries. The war finally came to an end when a party of heroes forged the legendary Orb of Dragon Souls, and forced the dragons to concede to a peace agreement. The dragons agreed to divide the world into 10 great domains - one for each color of dragon. Henceforth, the dragons would limit themselves to their domain, and never impose on the domain of another. Some dragons ruled their realms like despots,some became shepherds of their people.Others simply retired to their hordes toslumber until disturbed.When the Orb was rediscovered not long ago, a second dragon war threatened to engulf Gedan. However, a newband of heroes arose to master the artifact's power and save the realm. In the aftermath, the dragons met again and agreed that Gedan should be free from draconic rule.In response to the dragons' withdrawal, the demigod Empyrean moved intothe power vacuum. Attempting to expand upon her domain to the south, Gedan fought for its existence in the face of overwhelming divine magic. Ultimately, the Empyrean was defeated, and Gedan entered a new age of prosperity. Free to pursue their own goals without outside meddling, the rulers of Gedan returned to bicker with each other and go to war about petty matters.
The seas of Gedan are no longer under the domain of any dragon lord and are considered neutral territory by all dragons. Monsters still overrun much of the wastes, but ancient ruins and great treasures are rumored to be concealed within the rugged hills and fallen cities. A few small forts and frontier towns have been established by brave and hardy adventurers who seek a profit or hope to carve out their own kingdoms.
The Five Factions Gedan
Merchant Princes of Zhaz- This faction is driven by the acquisition of wealth, and the power that wealth can provide. They view the pursuit and acquisition of wealth as its own end. Gold, political influence, secrets... all of these are valuable and worth seeking out.
Conclave of the Seed- Rangers, druids, and worshipers of nature make up the loose affiliation known as the Conclave of the Seed. These wanderers are more at home in the wilds than in crowded streets, and are known to care as much for the well-being of a forest as they are for a city.
Cyrillian Academy The Cyrillian Academy is the foremost center for magical learning in the realm. Nearly all arcane spellcasters have either studied in its famed Blue towers or under the tutelage of one of its ordained wizards.
Free Guild Wherever adventurers congregate to swap stories, share drinks, or embark on quests, the Free Guild is there. A world-wide network that provides lodging and support for adventurers wherever they may roam, most Free “guilds” are taverns, inns, provisioners, or the like, run by exadventurers. Other guilds exist in distant frontier forts, or far-flung cities that serve as the last stop before perilous destinations. Regardless, they act as a place to catch up on new rumors, get a good meal and a good night’s sleep, or simply unwind in the company of peers.
The Concordance- The people of Gedan worship a pantheon of gods - from the glorious god of the sun, to the ferocious god of war - each with their own clergy and churches. Just as the gods will collaborate to influence the universe, so do their priests sometimes assemble to work in common cause.
Ancestries of Gedan
Khazadur, The Dwarves of Gedan
It’s not an uncommon sight to pass a dwarven merchant or stonemason on a busy city street. Nearly all dwarves on Gedan trace their ancestry back to the city of Nulgath, where humans and dwarves have intermingled since the city’s founding. These dwarves might have lived their entire lives in the mountain city, delving the unending mine tunnels that stretch far beneath its streets, or working as an accomplished smith or mason in a city renowned for its excellent craftsmanship.
Elves
Elves on Gedan are synonymous with the Tanglebrier - the largest forest in the known world. In ages past, they ruled a vast empire from the magic citadel in its heart. The green dragon, Mouyld, caused that empire's downfall many centuries ago, cursing the forest and shattering their lands. The elves never recovered, and now live in the shadow of their former glory - clinging to the edges of the forest they once ruled. While many elves have since formed new communities elsewhere, some stalwarts stay within the forest, battling its evils while maintaining a tense co-existence with the civilized nations that encroach at the edges.
Eldar Elves
The river-running elves of the Tanglebriar; The Eldar Elves of Gedan are a mystical and ancient race, deeply connected to the natural world and steeped in timeless wisdom. Dwelling primarily within the ancient forests that adorn the realm, they are renowned for their ethereal beauty and grace. With their slender forms and luminous, almond-shaped eyes, they embody an otherworldly elegance
Lothian Elves
The Lothians chose a life of self-exile to the Blazing Isles in ages past, following a violent schism with the other elves. Driven from the mainland, they dwell in the inaccessible volcanic islands just visible off the coast of the mainland. The Lothians have established a convoluted series of enclaves in the vast volcanic caverns beneath the isles of the archipelago. They continue to pursue their own way of life below the surface, including the practice of necromancy, while an underclass of servitors labor on the surface above. Xenophobes with delusions of racial superiority, there is still some trade between them and the mainland - in illicit black markets in Villium, and openly in the bazaars of Zhaz.
Halflings
The most common halflings in the Greenwold come from the island city-state of Thile. As comfortable on the water as on land, these bucolic river folk spend their time catching fish, racing their skiffs, and relaxing in the current. Not to be underestimated, these halflings have a long tradition of producing surprisingly fierce mercenaries - fearless sailors who can be found bolstering navies across the Great Sea, or providing swift aid to Gedan’s forts.
Given their proclivity for the water, Thile halflings are casually referred to as “Guppies,” “Minnows,” “Tadpoles,” and other half-endearing nicknames by the larger folk - appellations that are variously despised or embraced by the riverfolk, depending on their temperament.
Torvi Halflings
Curiosity and a thirst for discovery drive the Torvi Halflings to venture beyond their cozy villages and into the wider world. They possess an innate wanderlust that propels them to explore distant lands, seeking new experiences and forging connections with different cultures. With their nimble feet and agile minds, they excel as agile scouts, adept at navigating treacherous terrains and uncovering hidden secrets.
Despite their carefree nature, the Torvi Halflings are not to be underestimated. They possess an uncanny ability to evade danger and find solutions to seemingly insurmountable challenges. Their small stature grants them exceptional agility and stealth, making them skilled thieves and resourceful adventurers when needed. They rely on their quick wits, cleverness, and a network of tight-knit communities to overcome obstacles and outwit adversaries.
Alaw Halfling
The Alaw are river-born halflings; They are inspired by Celtic culture and work hard most of the day, but rest hard at least two to three times between tasks. Though easily prone to distraction, the hard-working and unflappable nature of Alaw halflings has earned them respect across Gedan. Alaw have a swim speed of 25 ft.
Humans

Dulandir Humans

As skilled diplomats and tacticians, the Anor strive for stability and harmony within their borders while maintaining a vigilant defense against external threats.

The Garvfang's unforgiving homeland has shaped them into resilient warriors who embrace a life of freedom and self-reliance, embodying the untamed spirit of the wilderness they call home.
Uruks the Orcs of Gedan
Nearly all orcs come from the rugged terrain of the Highland Reaches. As such, most orcs come can be found in north of the Great Sea. Orc hordes haven’t been a threat to the Great Sea in many generations. The highest concentrations of orcs can be found in Stonefast, where they work alongside their human compatriots. Dwarves are slow to forget a grudge, and tales of the brutal Dwarf-Orc Wars of old are still told. Tensions exist between the two Ancestries in the city, and Stonefast continues to reckon with its history. Beyond Stonefast, the highest number of half-orcs can be found in Gravfang, though they (along with hobgoblins) are widely marginalized.
Other Ancestries
Aj'Snaga, the Yuan’Ti of Gedan
an ancient and reclusive race, dwell deep within the uncharted realms of the Shadowlands. Shrouded in mystery and myth, they are beings of both ethereal beauty and enigmatic darkness.

Rakes, the Dragonkin of Gedan
Dragonborn are rare on Gedan. While they can be found in any city in the realm, there are no dragonkin communities in the Great Sea, and news of one arriving in a town or village is quickly spread. The most common colors of dragonkin on Gedan are bronze, green, and black (owing to the realm’s location to dragon territories of these three types), though red-scaled dragonborn from Lux’s domain in the Great Sea sometimes arrive at the port cities as emissaries.
Zuteko, the Gnomes of Gedan
There isn’t a large population of gnomes on Gedan, but those that do live there get around. Gnomes are commonly encountered as traveling sages, wandering explorers, bards, and other occupations that lead them to new experiences (or trouble). The ancestral homeland of the gnomes are the Trollfells on the eastern edge of the Great Sea. However, those forests and hills are now overrun by ogres, trolls and other giants - meaning only the hardiest and most reluctant remain.

Tieflings
Tieflings are rare in Gedan, but significantly more common in the Old Empyrean for reasons not fully understood. No large communities of tieflings exist in the Great Sea, due to the rarity of the Ancestry and the intolerance of most communities. Those that do congregate together are found in Zhaz, where the city’s laissez-faire policies and live-and-let-live attitude make tieflings just another colorful addition to the melting pot.
Topan, the Yksoi of Gedan
Inquisitive, pint-sized furry folk resembling an oversized, bipedal rodent, tiny of stature and swift underfoot, mousekin are adept at not being seen. Due to their small numbers and recent origin most folk of Gedan have never seen nor heard of the Yksoi. Fortunately, yksoi make friends easily - striking most civilized Ancestries as endearingly cute.
Rare Ancestries
Poppets
Very rarely, a common poppet spontaneously manifests a spark of life—a tiny bit of life essence— and becomes a thinking, independent creature. These events are exceedingly rare; fewer than one in a thousand gain this spark. A poppet might manifest this life essence through a magical fluke in its construction, a brush with ephemeral spirits, or even the fervent wish of a loving child. Whatever their origin, the poppets described here as an ancestry have their own life and free will. They might consider their creators or former owners to be friends, but they acknowledge no one as their master and often leave comfortable homes or workshops to seek their place in the world.
Nations of Gedan
The great nations of Gedan work together to cling to success in the face of untold beasts and monsters, even as they work against each to their own advantage. Together, with the wizards of the Cyrillian Academy, civilization maintains its toe hold in this rough and wild plane.

Trade and Commerce
Land is a limited resource on Gedan, maritime trade routes are crucial for transporting goods and resources between regions. Gedan’s naval powers have a distinct advantage in controlling these trade routes, influencing their economic prosperity and political influence.
Exploration and Colonization
Plurality among the nations on Gedan’s smaller land masses has stifled the drive to explore and colonize new territories across the seas. Only the strongest national powers have been able to Establish colonies and control strategic coastal regions. Gedan’s five factions have thus far surpassed the pull of nationalism by appealing to deeper core values and a unity of purpose. They compete primarily against each other, designing networks of entangling alliances among Gedan’s nations and sponsoring transnational enterprise and academic efforts.
Naval Warfare
Naval battles and sieges are key military strategies on Gedan; ships serve as floating fortresses and weapons platforms in the naval domain. Nations with advanced naval technology and skilled sailors posess a significant advantage in Gedan’s conflicts.
