Fritzleonhardt:

Almeida is an older man of Medeiran descent with a long, white goatee and squinting eyes. He is wearing a silver Harpers pin on his breast and is wearing rather shabby scholar's clothes. He helped the party escape an ambush on their caravan. In his possession when he was first encountered was a mysterious book that the attackers were looking for.

Since then he has appeared to Oshairana feeding her information on what is going on behind the scenes of the Harpers Guild.

He likes to run games that involve the Cthulhlu Mythos. Really he is just paving the way for the Old Gods.

==Characters==

* [[Kaia Alcandrous]]
* [[Xavier Marias Alviego del Solsancto de Torreblanca]]
* [[Jola Xilos]]
* [[Oshairana Bertrand]]
* [[Taharqa]]

==Setting==

===Background===

Approximately 900 years ago, a man by the name of [[Speir Tans]], captain of the [[Red Legion]], built a city which he named [[Freistadt]] at a strategic location which connected trade and invasion routes. Through various means, both military and political, Speir was able to unite the five greatest powers into a league with common laws and open trade with Freistadt as the capital.

Each kingdom is autonomous when it comes to which type of government that it chooses and the running of its own internal affairs. If a particular kingdom’s politics becomes too unstable and threatens surrounding kingdoms then it is not unknown for the Army of Freistadt to interfere directly and restore under. This effectively makes the league an hegemony with Freistadt in control.

Skirmishing among the Five Kingdoms is not uncommon and is usually tolerated by Freistadt as long as it does not interfere with trade and it is confined to two of the kingdoms. Freistadt also uses this to stop one kingdom from becoming too powerful and unbalancing what is in place.

This world is one of low-magic. Magic exists but it is not a normal part of everyday life. Arcane magic is tightly controlled and its practitioners are viewed with suspicion. Divine magic exists but only clerics of a few gods are able to cast it. Divine spells like “Resurrection” are rare and special so death is a major reality of this world.

The five nations that make up the Kingdom
* [[Agathos]]
* [[Jorlund]]
* [[Khet]]
* [[Lycadros]]
* [[Medeira]]

===Other Peoples===

There are several other cultural groups that exist around the finges of the five kingdoms. These include:

* The [[Tchok]]
* The [[Orsh]]
* The [[Sea People]]
* The [[El]]

===Religion===

Each of these gods has a major temple in Freistadt. While they have major centres of worship temples to them can be found through out the Five Kingdoms. There are more gods than those listed below but these are the only ones who have the power to grant their clerics divine spells. Gods that do not grant spells are commonly called small gods. There is belief in an afterlife but it is pictured as being bleak and dreary, a land of fog and shadow that is commonly referred to as the Mist.

* [[Brhys]]
* [[Crom-ya]]
* [[Death]]
* [[Glit]]
* [[Hath]]
* [[Marim]]

The Red Legion

2006-06-04T13:54:09Z

Fritzleonhardt:

'''The Red Legion''' is [[Freistadt]]'s mercenary army, headquartered in the city. This is the mercenary army that founded Freistadt. It is so named because of its standard which is crimson red with no markings on it. Any freeman can join the Red Legion as long as they have no pending criminal charges and they agree to serve for a term of at least five years.

There are nine cohorts with each cohort having about 5,000 men. There is a cohort garrisoned in each kingdom with the remaining cohorts guarding Freistadt, being sent where needed, or on leave. There are always two cohorts in or around Freistadt.

The captain of the Red Legion is chosen by vote of the members of the Red Legion. Once voted in the captain retains their position until they are killed or retire (becoming the Magister of Freistadt also removes the captain from the leadership of the Red Legion).

The Red Legion is technically paid by the city of Freistadt to guard its territory and protect its interests. They have no legal authority within the city, that is the jurisdiction of the sheriff, but they are occasionally used to quell riots.

While a member of the Red Legion a person also gives up all citizenship rights and privileges that they may have in other kingdoms. If a Red Legionnaire is caught aiding or siding with someone from their home land they are severely punished and kicked out of the Legion.

The current captain of the Red Legion is [[Cid d’Aqui]].
