Akiros Season 1

Welcome to the world of Akiros! This unique universe was created by our very own Laughing Otter based on the Dungeon World game engine.

Events

 

“The Great convergence”

Thousands of years ago two realms of existence converged into one another upsetting the

landscape and ecosystems, it should have been an Apocalyptic event but somehow the world

still lived on, thanks to the aid of Magic that existed in one of the realms. The current realm was

known as the human realm called Akiros, the magic realm was named Isopothis. Chaos spread

over the land as living creatures from both realms tried to make sense of it all and as to why this

happened. A few things known about this time that actually survived the years was that the

cause was from a group of “Heroes” That were tricked into killing the protectors of the gateways

that kept the two worlds apart (every now and then some things would slip in we call cryptids or

ghosts or unexplained events but the bleeds were minor) the person responsible for this has no

name that was written down but all is known is that his name was “The man in black”

 

“The Great Calamity”

 

The event known as the Great Calamity is an event that spanned over hundreds of years as the

chaos settled… tensions and struggles for power and taking claim to this new world grew.

Nations formed and fell, some known to be great while others disappeared with just a whimper.

But as these alliances formed it became more and more that the humans started to form their

own alliance against “Magic folk” soon fear spread about magic folk and they were capable of.

Racism grew and came to head as humans and other more humanoid like races banded

together. This alliance consisted of those not created by magic such as Human, Halflings, Elves,

Dwarves. Their ability to create advanced weapons and technology greatly suppressed other

races over the ages leading to genocides on both sides before things started to settle with the

treaty that became agreed on, first created by one of the most powerful Mages in the world

Arch-Mage “ Ledonas” He alone brought both sides of the struggle to their knees, some

dedicating a religion to him and his peaceful teachings calling themselves Ledonites also known

as monks, these people learned to fight but only for the sake of bringing peace and not harm,

With this treaty he declared that those who are not created by magical means needed to create

sanctuaries for those who were, as they were more volatile to magics in the world. However if

those of magical origins wanted to live outside of those sanctuaries they were to be registered.

 

Peace did reign over the land for a couple hundred years until the death of Ledonas, again his

death isn’t very clear but many point to the events being caused by “The man in black” Wars did

break out but they did settle. Some nations are more magic folk friendly than others. However

one of the more powerful nations known as “Novas” is not one of them.

 

Notable figures

“The man in Black”

Catalyst for the current world being as it is. Tricking a group of “Heroes” into doing his bidding by

lying to them and killing off the guardians of the gateways keeping the two worlds apart. His

chaotic rule reigned for over a couple hundred years sowing seeds of doubt, chaos and

suffering as he went but one day he vanished and his chaotic antics stopped. He shows up

again in history for only a brief moment in the death of arch mage “Ledonas”

 

 

Arch-Mage “Ledonas”

A powerful being that came almost out of nowhere. A hermit in his early years that had an

uncanny ability to tap into the magic of the world around him. Seeing the world in chaos and

ruin with war after war and death all around he sought out to hone his ability to bring the world

to its knees not to rule but to humble it again and bring everyone together. He found either they

would unify under him and unify against him he didn't care for the reason all he knew that he

and he alone could bring order to this new chaotic world. Peace did come under his rule over

the world undoing most of what the man in black did. There were many that launched many

attacks against him but failed. He was very powerful… Almost God and many thought that about

him. However that image of him was shattered when he was found dead… bleeding out in the

halls of his own college. Many blamed each other while soon many came to the idea it was the

man in black who carried out this assassination to bring chaos again to the world.

Nations of Akiros

Novas

The largest and arguably the most powerful of the nations, they ruled under one King named

“Yenno” not known to be the nicest of fellows but if you stayed under his radar you were fine for

the most part. He has his “Council of 7” which included himself and 6 others. He kept the

uneven number to avoid ties in making laws or decisions, however what he said became law no

matter what. With this council they dictated laws, regulations and war tactics and how resources

are given out to each city and state in their nation. This nation is more military driven than the

others and also has more strict policies for magic folk, not wanting to exclude them because

they can be a valuable asset… as long as they have their paperwork. IF found without it they

are deported to an area called “Ground Zero” or Zero for short. It’s the area of the realms that

had suffered the most scaring from the convergence and is a wasteland. Living in ground Zero

has been described as Hell.

 

 

Correneth

 

More of the most Magic folk ran nations but second strongest rivaling Novas, Similar to Novas in

structure in how it is ruled however each race has a representative that council what happens in

the nation and to its citizens. Progress is slow but considered fair for the most part… if you have

the coin to persuade a council member in your favor that is. Corruption is a problem in its

governmental system and schisms do arise. There is a divide between the wealthy and the poor

and it isn’t an issue that has gone unnoticed, everyday for some it feels like a civil war is about

to break out.

 

Isa n’yeth

 

A unique nation that comprises many islands and archipelagos. Has probably the strongest

army in the known oceans and regulates many of the trades on the open seas, although small

this nation is probably the most wealthy because of their sea presents and control of trade. The

Governing system is a bit chaotic but more of an honor system between Naval captains. Some

have stronger alliances than others but one thing keeps them at peace for the most part…

money!

 

 

Kargan

The more industrial and technological advanced Nation. Steam gears and oil keep this nation

afloat. It's run by the most wealthy companies in the nation that create most of the wares this

nation provides. Electricity, vehicles, air ships, machines and textiles. Rumor has it that this

nation is also creating some of the most powerful warmachines but they do deny these rumors.

 

Academia

 

This Nation is driven by magic and a little science, the religion that worships Arch-mage

“Ledonas” is more prevalent here and you’ll find many colleges dedicated to his magic wielding

ways. More or less the more peaceful nation but in no way a very pacifist nation. Wielding spells

powering their nation and their thirst for knowledge. But at what point will they go too far?

 

Smaller nations do exist….

 

The Wilds

 

Largest and most unknown area called “ The Wilds” Not much is known about this large land

mass other than it’s protected by Ancient spirits and old world gods. For the most part this region is left alone.

Dungeon Master: Laughing Otter aka Otter

The creator of the characters, nations, and story of Akiros. Otter takes the helm as our DM for this adventure, doing a phenomenal job of bringing characters to life along the way.

Av`rahn the Druid - Played by Miffix

A druid of unique gifts, born in a field near the wilds and abandoned with her sister by their mother. Av'rahn is truly one with nature. She tackles all challenges with curiosity, a soft voice, and a chipper demenor. Av'rahn journey begins well into adulthood spending her time within the Wilds and communing with the spirits of the forest. A small community resides there along with her significant other Jager.

Jager the Barbarian- Played by Rage

Jager is a barbarian of unusual circumstance, species, and origin. The silver dragon and tabaxi hybrid was born at sea in the nation of Isa N`yeth. His mother passed during childbirth and his father was nowhere to be found. Raised by the compassion of sailor on board the ship, Jager learned the ins and outs of life at sea until an incident during his young adulthood. After being boarded by pirates and his adoptive father’s life in the balance, the drabaxi slaughtered the pirates and sunk their ship. While his actions were noble, the reaction on land from Novas was not. After hearing of this, the king of Novas ordered his capture and imprisonment in Ground Zero. When approached, Jager went quietly acting as if he was only seeking passage on his ship and home not wanting to endanger his father or the crew and was dragged to Ground Zero. After many years in that hell, under the thumb of the fighting pits boss, Jager broke out and made his escape. Retreating to The Wilds for safety, it was here he was accepted by the small community he encountered and welcomed by the forest spirits. He now resides there as a guardian for those who live in the wilds with his significant other Av’rahn.
