FAQ

Iourn Home > A to Z > E

Ebony Tower: Ancient and ruined fortress that sits atop Shearcrag Peak at the easterly extent of the Plains of Acheron. The orc warchief Goretooth temporarily set up home in the tower during the summer of 204.

Eddy: Mule purchased from Old Felix of Alhaven on 15th Brightday 204 by Brack Ogrebane. Brack took the mule as his mount for the long journey to Uris. It was left in Chapel Lane where he ate all the soft furnishing and was later relocated to the Chosen's personal stables at the Royal Palace.

Edvax (Duke): Duke of Caldeer.

Edward: A member of the Chosen of Narramac's domestic staff. He is particularly responsible for the well-being of Arvan Walker-in-Shadows.

Eighth Battalion: The inquisitors of the Church of Contention. They act as a sort of military police answerable only to the Commander-in-Chief.

Einheart: Once a paladin, Einheart found the disciplines of his career too constraining, and he was forced to explore other means of doing good. Now a ranger, and staunch ally of Wulf, Einheart patrols Kerikal on the watch for evil. He is tall man with short clipped blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. Einheart fought Tular's orc forces in the Plains of Acheron during the Midsummer of 204.

Eisen Head: Norandon headland overlooking the Bay of Bereavement. The Old Utavran Inn is located on this headland, the village of Gallworth is nestled at its foot.

Eisen, Eilan: Unnecessarily sweaty market trader in Uris and contact of the bombastic, Boudewijn Berdgardt. Nicos used him to arrange a meeting with Boudewijn on 23 Heathaze 204.

El Kadiz, Ethik (Sultan): Supreme ruler of the Junos Empire. The sultan is 4'3" in his stocking feet, but has the ego of a storm giant.

Elayne (Lady): Dance partner of Brack Ogrebane at the ball of 14th Suntask 204. Her services were provided by Chamberlain Alberdark.

Elber, Marlon: Innkeeper of the Weary Gondolier in Sorgar.

Eldagaire (1): Ancient historical figure, now long dead. Eldagaire was the grand druid and leader of the Circle in the country that is now Eldagaire. The country was named after this man.

Eldagaire (2): A huge, uneven land that rises continuously from the coast until it meets at a small mountain range at the centre. It is said that there is no even ground in the entire country. Humanity in Eldagaire is split to hundreds of warring kingdoms. It is the druids who hold the balance of power here.

Elenor: Aged high-priest of the Church of Water in the Village of the Eighteen Churches.

Elgarth (Invigilant-General): Supreme ruler of the Arcanum Incognita in Norandor, answerable directly to the Chapel Sinister. Present at the Ceremony of the Sword on 25 Heathaze 204.

Ellen: Granddaughter of Esme; taken by a force of ghouls from Garwood on 30th Scatterseed 204 and imprisoned in the Wraith Haunt. She was rescued by the party (4) a little over a week later.

Elsa (Necress): Watcher based at the House of Passing in the Village of the Eighteen Churches. Elsa was Ulish Van Caspan's lover. On 49th Brightday 204, when Van Caspan, postponed The Blessing he ordered her to remain at the temple so she would not see him die. As a result Elsa was one of the few Watchers to survive the firestorm. During the war she steadfastly held the belief that Van Caspan was killed by the Church of Fire, and resented any investigation that might suggest otherwise. Following the revelations of the Lollmeadow Enclave, and the subsequent execution of Thaddeus Carvin her faith in herself and her god have been shaken.

Elsvich: Norandon barony located directly south of Umbria and the Uri, approximately fifty miles from Uris. Although much larger than Umbria, Elsvich is less populace and much poorer. The decision in 139 LE to grant Umbria the right to tax trade going down river to Uris almost bankrupted Elsvich. A great antagonism still exists between Elsvich and Umbria. The current baron is Norris Humbolt.

Elves: An immortal fey race taller than humans but slighter in build. The elves are creatures born of magic and may have links to certain celestial races. The first elf was called Corellon Larethian, and it is from his blood that all the races of elves was born. Corellon is not seen as a god by the elves, but as an honoured and revered ancestor. However, he and his companions (collectively known as the Seldarine) still play an important, spiritual role in elven culture. Elves cannot die by any means save violence, neither do they show any physical signs of ageing. An elf who wearies of life passes onto a place called Arvandor where he is united with Corellon and all the elves of ages past. Elves first came to Iourn to broker a peace with between dragons and stop the Dragon Wars. Their success led to the establishment of The Great Pact. Following the Great War against Karatath in 1000 PL, the elves tired of life on Iourn. They constructed a parallel reality called the Greymere and moved all their people there. They have seldom returned and remain isolated, mythical figures. Elven magic, called Sonorism by sages, is extraordinarily powerful.

Enceinte: A tremendous magical wall built around the Great Dark by the Grey Princes after the defeat of Karatath in 1000 PL. The Enceinte was devised to prevent any being native to the Great Dark from escaping by any means (physical or magical). It was only after it was built that the seven Gates of Perdition were inserted into its vast dark ediface.

Enclave: When two or more representatives of one of the moon faiths of Urova meet, that meeting is called an Enclave. Enclaves have special religious significance to all faiths, and to breach its integrity is an unforgiveable sin. The famous Enclave of Lollmeadow 204 ended the war between the Watchers and the Church of Fire.

Endtime: The apocalypse of Hadradan myth when Daemonicus will rise from the ground, and God will be forced to destroy the world in order to save it.

The Enemy: Description given to the unnameable master of the legions of darkness eventually bested by Man and Elf during the Great War. It is now considered by the Chosen of Narramac that this Enemy and the demon Karatath are one in the same being.

Enfiladé: Duchy of Norandor ruled from Coutan by Duke Nethgar.

Enigmus: Citadel of the Arcanum Incognita in Uris.

Erinsor (Prince): Yaddagon XIV's first child. Prince Erinsor was groomed to be king from an early age. He died in 201 LE in a riding accient.

Eskar: A truly ancient dwarf, Eskar is a priest of Moradin and member of the Makers - an ancient sect committed to created the greatest and most powerful magical artefacts. Eskar joined the Chosen of Narramac in their adventure to Kerikal, after becoming convinced that their swords were made by his order. He used his crystal library to find out more about the swords than the Chosen had thus been able to discover, but was killed before he could tell them everything. Eskar was disitegrated by Archdruid Tular on 34th Midsumemr 204.

Esme: Old woman and resident of the logging town of Garwood. When a force of ghouls attacked the town on 30th Scatterseed 204, she hid in a chapel of the Church of the Land, covered in holy earth. She remained there until the party (4) found her a week later. She was taken by Brother Kak to safety during the night, where she begged the monk to find her granddaughter, Ellen. This Kak duly did, and the two were reunited in Oakholme on 39th Scatterseed 204.

Esseni, Morgase (Great Druid): Great druid of the Norandon Circle. Morgase is a human of almost fifty seasons, although she appears as young and vital as someone half that age. She is a strong and respected leader, although she did not foresee Zerrimir's betrayal, or Tular's dark agenda - both of which cost the Order a great deal. Although she survived the poisoning at Zerrimir's hands, and remains Great Druid, these lapses in judgement have led others to question her position.

Esten: A member of the Chosen of Narramac's domestic staff. She is the group's cook and often goes by that name.

Etchen: One of the three elves who appeared before King Yaddagon in the Spring of 204 to warn of the awakening of The Enemy and the coming of a second Great War.

Eugene (Prince): Ruler of the Salmayan principality of Mínosh. One of the six Salmayan princes.

Eurikas: The high temple of the Scriveners of Doom, and greatest source of written information in all of Urova. Located in Uris (where else?) the high cleric of the church, Tarex, lives in this temple.

Evabold (King): King of the dwarven Clanhold of Kulhazan. Murdered on 41st Coldsorrow 203 by an assailant believed to be the dwarf Thorangrim. It was secretly revealed to Ravenna (and subsequently the rest of the Chosen) that Evabold was a Malificent, and actually killed by his own son Abrinthor. Thorangrim willingly took the blame to protect Abrinthor and save the kingdom.

Evil Tree: A broken and dead tree located in the Whittenwood close to Bear's Reach that radiates evil. It is to this tree that Rod Njedelstrom was attracted. The tree was discovered by the Companions of Bear's Reach on 29 Chillbone 204. It was later found to house a portal to another world - a devastated plane from which the murderwraiths originate.

Ezekiel: Member of the Scriveners of Doom based at Eurikas, who translated a porton of The Theology of Dragons for the party (3) on 30th Brightday 204. He sold the information again to another party of questors, causing the party some serious troubles on the barrow moors.
