The Unexplored Places
From A Glossary of the People, Places, and Events of Alkyon The Election of Lennox Reeve— In the year 5290, Canorain immigrant Lennox Reeve unseated the incumbent, Bertram Vek, in the democratic election for Alderman of Renwick. Prior to the election, Vek had served as Alderman for twelve years, winning the seat six times—three of which he ran unopposed. Despite beginning his campaign as an underdog, Reeve, who came to Renwick shortly after the Annexation of Canorai, quickly gained popularity, though some suspect that the strategies which led to his victory were not entirely above...

From A Glossary of the People, Places, and Events of Alkyon The Mourner— A god of death, grief, beginnings and endings, traditionally revered by the elves of the northern island. Whether the elven celebration of death as a gift and an honor, rather than as a loss, comes from the influence of The Mourner’s adherents, or The Mourner gained the prominence she did because of that belief is, historically, unclear. In elven funerary rites, the elves appointed to stand vigil for the deceased are believed not just to be representatives of The Mourner herself, but true avatars of her for the...

The Unexplored Places
From A Glossary of the People, Places, and Events of Alkyon Alchemy—The study of potions and their effects. Alchemists use ingredients common and uncommon, botanical and mineral and biological, arcane and mundane. With specialized tools and techniques, a skilled practitioner can create potions with nearly any effect. Like any discipline of magic, however, alchemy is inherently unpredictable, and a potion is more than the sum of its parts—its ultimate effect might be entirely unexpected, by the alchemist or the potion’s user. This week, on The Stormwrought Shores, Pest...

From A Glossary of the People, Places, and Events of Alkyon The Harrowers— A coalition of monster hunters, with guild halls spread across the continent. Their stated mission is to preserve the peace of civil society and clear the way for settlers and farmers. Each guild hall has its own leadership and rules; some deal only with fellow Harrowers, while others post bounties publicly and act as a liaison between client and hunter. Whether for members or freelancers, Harrower contracts are usually not very lucrative—the guild prides itself on accepting contracts on behalf of the less...

The guild has a headquarters in most major settlements, where those who have been granted membership can always find work. This...
