[edit] Setting
Set in the surroundings of the dockside city-state Newcastle, the story begins to unfold as adventurers come to help the local cemetery caretaker, Mach, with a wee difficulty. As their adventures progress, they will find that perhaps poor Mach had more to worry about than he first expected.
Who is the secret organization of Shrine Priests and what are they trying to hide? What is the Cabal? How can a character help to reveal the truth?
[edit] Deities
Gardethia has three gods: Hais, Dalor and Barzak. Other deities do not exist within the realm — there is however an arch-demon named Verrat who sometimes tries to trick adventurers into believing he is a deity instead of killing him.
[edit] Barzak
Barzak is the god of pestilence and disease, murder and hate. His followers are many, and they tend to include assassins, blackguards and the most diabolical of clerics. Barzak is said to carry a whip created from pure terror- whose lash can strip a man of not only his courage but also the ownership of his very soul. Barzak promises great power to all of his followers.
[edit] Dalor
Dalor is a wanderer of sorts, a spell caster and a great sage. He is said to walk the realms constantly, preferring to stick to the poorly marked trails. His deeds help maintain balance. Many people say his main followers are the druids, but there are many others who follow his path. Dalor is a nature god.
[edit] Hais
Hais is usually called the god of righteousness. People say that he is a brave warrior, and that he believes in the power of honesty and respect. Hais' followers are primarily paladins, champions of Torm and clerics, but there are also many others.
[edit] Hymn to Hais
"Of Fire and Light"
O bright my chosen lord of grace,
That challenges the sun!
With open arms and endless praise
And many battles won
Disease will perish by your light
All foes shall fight in vain
A moment of your holy sight
Eliminates my pain
O gracious one of mighty hand
Hear my soft cry of joy
The name of Hais rings through the land
The Dark can not destroy!
- Catalina Ki'Door, Cleric of Hais
