Index

For those of you who exclusively use Tumblr on the portable pocket computer, here are all the links to reference pages you're missing. These pages are mostly just lists of names at the moment, but once I've posted enough content I'll add contextual information and links so you can filter content to stuff that only concerns those names.

I have also included Featured Tags at the bottom that you might like to use to filter content to set categories. (I'll add the links once I've posted some content)

I have now enabled Asks, so feel free to ask questions about anything to do with the world. All answers will be formatted as in-lore. You do not have to ask your question in-lore if you don't feel like it.

Notables

Notable characters, grouped by allegiance. Some characters are listed twice or thrice, as they may be allied to more than one power.

Factions

Factions: groups and organisations with noteworthy power and/or influence. Often they are knightly orders, but some are groups with a common goal or ideology.

Nations

Nations: the powers of the land, both past and present.

Deities

Deities: the divine powers that reign over this world, whether real or imagined.

Coming soon!

-- Bishop Julia, on Templar Laszlo Garrick

[andrevalias-vanasiel]
