Arina of the North had come a long way since those first days of crossing the Neither Tundra. She had become a Paladin in her own right, letting the teachings of Crommel guide her through the worst and best of days.
Ursakin are some of the younger Animal Kingdom races, the animalistic people that are still considered among the civilized races of the world. Their role in the Eldritch War was to serve as Spies for those that their elusive race had befriended.
The Nether are the most inclined of the Ursakin to the desolation and chill of the northern and southern reaches of the world. Resembling Nordland Bears, these people have thick skin and plush fur that allows them to thrive.
The Vertebrae are the most well-known of the Ursakin, resembling the Coaldust and Dust Bears of the world. While also choosing to live solitary lifestyles, these people are willing to gather in their forests and plains with neighbors and family to share.
The Quartermaster Corps is one of the Combat Services divisions of the Hammerfalls specializing in the development, production, acquisition, and sustainment of general supply. So many different knowledge bases must pour into the logistics of wartime.
The Coon are the most outgoing of the Ursakin, choosing bustling lives in cities and urban areas over the separation that the Vertebrae and Nether practice. Whether resembling Mystic Bears or Raccoons, these people thrive with attention.
Celestial Metals are those that harness the power of celestial entities, the sun, the moon, the might of thunder, and much much more that cannot truly be explained. These metals are tied to the legends of heroes, defining world-changing weapons.
Noble Metals are those that have been named for their luxury, but also because of their commonness and use. Harnessing the power of fire, cold, and silence, these metals are some of the most common, found in great veins and brought forth in large amounts.
Anvils are the currency of the Dwarven Kingdom, established with the kingdom itself was built in the tunnels beneath the Great Furnaces. Other than changes to dates & mines etched into each coin, the design has remained for millennia, a tribute to Crommel
Some of the oldest landmarks in the Great Plains, the Ancient Nests are considered the safest areas for Dinosaurs to raise their young. Being so far into the depths, these nests have been undisturbed by people and other predators.
Guildmasters are the holders of many titles, often serving as the innkeepers and Cooks of the inns that serve the Dagger Guild. These people hold the collective knowledge of decades of the guild and Adventurers, helping those that have found wanderlust.
The Mammoth Glacier is thought to be the largest glacier in the Neither Tundra but is also the home of the largest gathering of Mammoths anywhere in the world. Gaining its name from the wooly beasts that find safety in its shadow, it can be easily seen.
Crater Lake is the second largest lake on the Northern Continent, much smaller than Lake Idryl, but large enough to support a thriving ecosystem of aquatic plant & animal life. The lake was carved by the movement of a glacier long before the Elder Races.
Nordland Bears are the only bears found in the northernmost reaches of Isekai, frequenting the frozen lands of the Neither Tundra. Completely white in color, these bears blend into their habitats, making them dangerous predators for all but the megafauna
Tasrin Brightrock was already blessed with knowledge and skills befitting a member of the Rubycrafters Guild when she and Cormac stumbled into the hoard of an ancient Adamantine Dragon.
Mammoths are some of the few herbivores that can survive the wastes of the Neither Tundra, surviving on a plant aptly known as Mammoth Hair during the never-ending winter. They join the ranks of megafauna that roam the wild north.
Hello and welcome! I'm River and I work in the historic trifecta (archives, museums, and libraries, oh my!), with degrees in History, Creative Writing, and Library & Information Sciences, but worldbuilding and writing are by far some of my greatest passions. You can often find me writing with my husband, Shiftrex, as we work to build the worlds and gaming systems that we want to write and play in. Our worlds are those of fantasy, swords and sorcery, and great tragedies and triumphs. Isekai is our current and most robust project, and is the most often updated of our worlds.
