Janethebane: /* History */

'''Oeldaen''' is a city under the jurisdiction of [[Aurelia]]. It is a seaport on the southern shore of [[The Great Bay]]. Most of its trade comes from the overland route between [[Kaelmar]] and [[Pieda]]. As a result, it has little attachment or sympathy to the monarchy in Aurelia. Ever since the rise of Kaelmar and Pieda, it has looked to them as alternatives to absolute monarchy.

Victoria Venderberg

2020-01-20T04:32:48Z

Janethebane: /* During the Comerain Revolution */

Victoria Venderberg is a smuggler and secret agent from the city of [[Comer]].

== Early life ==
'''Victoria Venderberg''' was born in 251 AG to a dockhand in [[Plankytown]]. She was born with the name '''Victoria Deleran''', a mark of her elvish background. A year into her life, she was orphaned during the [[Sack of Comer]].

She then spent her early childhood as a ward of [[Robin's Nest Orphanage]], an orphanage in the merchant district of Comer. During this time she became a child pickpocket to develop an income for herself. According to [[Cyrrin]], she made a drunken boast that at seven years old, she took a coin purse from King [[Faldonne Loxelain]] during his own coronation.

This child prodigy was noticed by the smuggler turned merchant [[Charm Dimeshore]]. Rather than take her under his wing directly, he set her up as an apprentice to his rival merchant, [[Jacques Darnielle]]. She was to serve him as a page, but report any information about his dealings to Dimeshore. This proved a challenge to her, since she was (and still is) illiterate. However, the task of memorizing long documents led her to develop an elephant-like memory.

== During the [[Comerain Revolution]] ==

Her skill in espionage was noticed by [[Fillaine]] as part of her plot to overthrow the [[Loxelain Royal Family]]. She was expected to recruit any malcontents in [[Comer]] to the rebellion. While she failed to find anyone useful, she did manage to recruit [[Yishai Heilrayne]], [[Kazin Foxglove]], and [[Doozhesa Loxelain]].

At the same time, she was able to gain a job as groundskeeper in the [[Hillfort]]. Firstly, this gave her access to the home of the royal family, striking up a friendship with [[Auriane Loxelain]], daughter of the king. With this, she could gain information on the government's actions. Secondly, she was able to make money bringing alcohol into the Hillfort. This made her the castle's dealer after the passing of the [[Edicts of Purity]].

During the [[Siege of the Hillfort]], she attempted to kidnap the Crown Prince [[Jeserai Loxelain|Jeserai]], the ranking royal in the castle. Her plan was to bring him to a private room and spike his wine with a sleeping potion. At this point, she would tie him up and place him in a box. The box would be taken by a servant to a winch, which would be lowered outside the walls. The servant and the box would be picked up by the besiegers, giving them an important hostage.

Failed kidnapping and escape
* disguise as prostitute
* terrible at flirting
* Jeserai is suspicious
* Victoria pulls a dagger on him, Jeserai grabs a sword
* They fight, Victoria kills Jeserai
* guards hear noise, attempt to break down door
* Victoria decapitates him, scales down the window

Pieda (State)

2020-01-19T22:46:05Z

Janethebane: /* Geography */

'''Pieda''', alternatively known as ''Grand Maeffrai'', is a state in [[Omnia]] that borders [[Aurelia]] to the west, the Kaelmar province of [[Eastbay]] to the east, [[The Great Bay]] to the north, and the [[Scourged Lands]] to the south. Although it has a strong seafaring culture, it is primarily a land power, gaining tolls from land travel across Omnia. Its capital is the eponymous city of [[Pieda (City)]].
== History ==

Before [[The Scourge]], Pieda was one of a number of minor city-states along the coast of [[The Great Bay]]. After the fall of [[Lyndrast]] to the south, it was left in an advantageous position. The Isthmus it sits on was then, as now, the only safe route between the east and west halves of [[Omnia]]. At its smallest, all travelers must go through an area no greater than 5 miles in width. This reality was what caused the construction of [[Pieda's Gates]], making the government fantastically wealthy.

The newfound wealth went towards conquering the lands of the [[Lyndrast Isthmus]] in the south. The effort has required the extensive work of soldiers and contract fighters to rid the area of its monster infestation.

=== Politics ===

Pieda is a constitutional monarchy. Power is divided between the __________ Royal Family and the legislature.

The state's voting population is divided into three main factions, the [[Wolf Faction]], the [[Porcupine Faction]], and the [[Salmon Faction]].

* The Wolves believe in expanding the state southward into [[The Scourged Lands]]. They are made up of adventurers looking for glory, businessmen in search of new resources, and those looking to resettle the [[Lyndrast Isthmus]] and beyond. They are quite fond of the old Elven ways of [[Lyndrast]]. This sympathy extends to elves across [[Omnia]].

* The Porcupines support the status quo of collecting tolls from [[Pieda's Gates]]. They often propose social programs with that income, and they support a strong army to maintain its position. When dealing with other states, they use Pieda's central position in Omnia to emphasize their importance in trade. Their support comes from the Army, the merchant class, and the poor. Their resistance to change endears them to the established power of the [[Republic of Kaelmar]], as well as to [[Aurelia]], their western neighbor.

* The Salmon believe that the future of Pieda is in building the [[Maeffrai Canal]]. This would connect [[Lake Maeffrai]] to [[The Great Bay]] and the [[Gulf of Benelain]]. By allowing sea travel through the center of Omnia, they could make Pieda a naval and trade power. They are made up of the Navy, sailors, mages, and number of small fields. As a faction pushing a longshot idea, they find themselves drawn to [[The Kingdom of Comer]]. They believe that they could work together to oppose the [[Republic of Kaelmar]], who they see as too controlling over [[The Great Bay]].

The Packin' Pachyderm

Janethebane:

[[File:Packin' Pachyderm.png|300px|thumb|right|Her name is peanuts, the well loved mascot of the Packin' Pachyderm]]

'''The Packin' Pachyderm''' is a chain of brothels throughout Comer, offering dining and theater options at the local manager's discretion.

== History ==

The franchise was founded by [[Benio Garnison]] as a straightforward brothel with a theme of political mockery, but his business partner '''(TBD)''' is credited with adding in the full suite of additional features and turning it into a franchise.

For a brief time, the chain experimented with "family-friendly" locations, with a kids' menu and only "tastefully softcore" nudity. This was a critical and commercial failure.

== Features ==

''[This whole section reads entirely too much like an advertisement. -ed]''

Despite the name and theming, the chain employs almost no true Loxodons, instead using shapeshifters and cosplayers. Still, they offer an enormous diversity of prostitutes and sex acts, with more added every month.

Packin' Pachyderm locations are frequently equipped with theatrical stages, hosting plays that range from searing political commentary to outright pornography to both. It is common for locations to partner with a band or theater troupe, establishing community bonds and nurturing local talent. (Notable entertainer or two) got their start playing gigs at Packin' Pachyderm franchises.

The food has been very well-reviewed, with many critics endorsing it as an excellent restaurant in its own right. ''[Which critics? How much consensus is there? -ed]''

== Societal Impact ==

The chain has popularized many slang terms for people attracted to [[Loxodon]], especially "Ivory Poacher" and "Tuskfucker."

== Controversy ==

== Lawsuits ==

The Ivory Tower

2020-01-19T21:49:32Z

Janethebane:

[[File:Ivory Tower.png|300px|thumb|right|The insignia of '''The Ivory Tower'''. Arguably phallic in origin.]]

'''The Ivory Tower''' is a brothel located in the city of [[Comer]]’s castle town. Named for the [[Loxelain Royal Family]], it is frequented by the city’s political and social elite. While few members of the royal family have been spotted entering its doors, the general populace believes that most of the royals have been there at least once to “destress.” The most commonly noticed patron is [[Isaiah Loxelain]], who is usually found sneaking in through windows or wearing ineffective disguises.

== History ==

The brothel was established in 197 AG by [[Hegel Hirian]]. Hirian, a human and close friend of King [[Leopold Loxelain]], noticing his companion’s increasing irritability and appetite since his ascension to the throne, gathered as many whores as he could into one banquet hall. This soon became a popular after hours activity among members of the court, including the King’s sister, general ____.

The current owner of The Ivory Tower is a human named [[Luce Alrin]]. They did not own the brothel upon its original establishment, and how they came to acquire such a valuable property is a mystery to all of Comer.

== Societal Impact ==

The Ivory Tower employs a team of engineers and sexologists to handle the unique constraints of Loxodon clientele. Their designs for beds that can withstand a Loxodon thrashing about are a breakthrough in structural engineering, and their trunk-related sex acts have become sex-industry legend. Reports are apocryphal, but a multitude of sex acts, such as the [[Trunkjob]] and the titular Ivory Tower, were both allegedly invented there.

== Controversy ==

On many occasions, the Ivory Tower has sued rival brothel [[The Packin' Pachyderm]] for infringement of imagery and trade secrets. However, as establishing the origins of brothel practices is impossible, legal scholars widely criticize this as a transparent attempt to bankrupt the less-prestigious establishment with spurious legal fees.

Before [[The Scourge]], Pieda was one of a number of minor city-states along the coast of [[The Great Bay]]. After the fall of [[Lyndrast]] to the south, it was left in an advantageous position. The Isthmus it sits on was then, as now, the only safe route between the east and west halves of [[Omnia]]. At its smallest, all travelers must go through an area no greater than 5 miles in width. This reality was what caused the construction of [[Pieda's Gates]], making the government fantastically wealthy.

The newfound wealth went towards conquering the lands of the [[Lyndrast Isthmus]] in the south. The effort has required the extensive work of soldiers and contract fighters to rid the area of its monster infestation.

=== Politics ===

The state's voting population is divided into three main factions, the [[Wolf Faction]], the [[Porcupine Faction]], and the [[Salmon Faction]].

* The Wolves believe in expanding the state southward into [[The Scourged Lands]]. They are made up of adventurers looking for glory, businessmen in search of new resources, and those looking to resettle the [[Lyndrast Isthmus]] and beyond. They are quite fond of the old Elven ways of [[Lyndrast]]. This sympathy extends to elves across [[Omnia]].

* The Porcupines support the status quo of collecting tolls from [[Pieda's Gates]]. They often propose social programs with that income, and they support a strong army to maintain its position. When dealing with other states, they use Pieda's central position in Omnia to emphasize their importance in trade. Their support comes from the Army, the merchant class, and the poor. Their resistance to change endears them to the established power of the [[Republic of Kaelmar]], as well as to [[Aurelia]], their western neighbor.

* The Salmon believe that the future of Pieda is in building the [[Maeffrai Canal]]. This would connect [[Lake Maeffrai]] to [[The Great Bay]] and the [[Gulf of Benelain]]. By allowing sea travel through the center of Omnia, they could make Pieda a naval and trade power. They are made up of the Navy, sailors, mages, and number of small fields. As a faction pushing a longshot idea, they find themselves drawn to [[The Kingdom of Comer]]. They believe that they could work together to oppose the [[Republic of Kaelmar]], who they see as too controlling over [[The Great Bay]].

'''Maerostr Vai''' was a world-class surgeon residing in [[Kaelmar]]. He was the subject of numerous theories accusing him of being a vampire and/or the head of a vampire ring.

== Career ==
* gains reputation as master doctor, caters to rich clients

== Death ==
* arrested for medical malpractice

== Theories ==
* the main plan was to circulate enough of his blood through the populace that he can bloodbend a whole army of thralls (Unknown If this is at all how vampirism works to begin with)

Hobas the Statist

2019-10-05T04:05:32Z

Janethebane:

'''Hobas the Statist''' is a mythical figure representing the power of state authority. He was a wizard who had the power to make the laws of nature conform to the laws of the state. He is primarily referenced in the region around [[The Great Bay]], with particular importance in [[Aurelia]].

== Story ==

The most common story about him is that of the bank robber. The bank robber was galloping down the street, avoiding the guards. Hobas stepped outside to see what the commotion was. To his horror, the robber was going the wrong way down a one-way street. Raising his hand, he declared that the horse could violate traffic laws no further. The horse, moving at a full gallop and unable to proceed, crumpled up like an accordion. The robber was thrown to the ground, where he was captured and sent into forced labor at the mint.

Stories about Hobas are usually used as a metaphor for centralized authority. They are especially popular among monarchs and state officials.
