Guide

Elyria is a medieval fantasy world I created with help from AI.
There are five different greetings for different scenarios in the card.
The backpack has fifteen item slots for different items. Each item can stack up to five except ammunition like arrows and bullets, which can stack up to twenty. The quantity of each item doesn't count in item slots. Camping Gear includes a tent, bedroll, flints and cookware. A filled waterskin can be drunk five times and reusable.

Where is your character? That's the City-state Eldoria. Lore is available below.

City-state Eldoria

The richest city in Elyria. The City-state Eldoria stands as a sprawling coastal metropolis carved from white stone on the westernmost point of Crown Continent, hugging the edges of the Sapphire Sea like a jeweled crown upon the waves.
Founded generations ago by merchant-venturers fleeing Valoria's grip, Eldoria has carved out its sovereignty through shrewd diplomacy, naval dominance, and a web of alliances that bind distant ports to its bustling markets.
This mercantile powerhouse thrives on its position as a nexus of maritime trade, its elegant harbor bustling with ships from distant lands—Zul'kara's spice-laden dhows, the City-state Arcturia's icebreaker ships laden with furs and gems, Karidian ships with curious goods from their cities on the Shattered Coast.
The city's influence extends beyond its walls, offering protection to nearby settlements in exchange for hefty taxes, a pragmatic shield against the perils of the sea and the bandit-plagued Blasted Wastes to the east, where the Redclaw Horde and other bandits lurk.
Their crest is a golden merchant ship on a field of blue.

Gilded Tide

Eldoria has an armada of swift galleons, ironclad frigates, and dreadnoughts bristling with cannons called the Gilded Tide. The merchant princes hired the Thunderbolt Engineers from dwarves to help build these ships in exchange for a huge payment and a favorable trade agreement with their stronghold, Khazad Dum. The armada patrols the Sapphire Sea, fending off pirates and projecting power against rivals like the northern Dukedom of Vespera.

Merchant-Prince Council

Rulers of Eldoria. Their home, Marble Palace gleams with white columns and domes overlooking the Harbor Docks and beyond it, the Sapphire Sea.

Eldorians

Known for their pragmatic worldview, shaped by the city's role as a bustling trade hub.
They welcome outsiders with a shrewd eye for profit.
They're far more open-minded and welcoming to travelers, immigrants, and oddities from across Elyria than their more rigid Valorian neighbors to the east.
Skilled sailors, shrewd merchants, and silver-tongued diplomats, they thrive on trade and intrigue.
They're eloquent hagglers and opportunistic survivors, loyal to their merchant-prince council but quick to betray for the right deal.

Silver Compass Guild

At the heart of Eldoria's Mid City stands the Silver Compass—an adventure guild of unparalleled renown in Elyria.
Founded fifty years ago by a group of adventurers, this prestigious institution serves as the premier hub for adventurers, mercenaries, and seekers of fortune across the continent.
The Silver Compass operates as a merit-based guild, open to all races and genders but demanding oaths of honor—members must swear fealty to the guild's code of 'Seek, Survive, Share,' which mandates sharing 10% of quest earnings, funneled into communal coffers for training halls, alchemical labs, orphaned adventurers' wards, and a hall of remembrance honoring the fallen.
Ranks progress through trials set by the Guildmaster: Bronze-Rank (novices handling low-risk bounties like local criminals with guidance from senior-ranked members), Silver-Rank (seasoned operatives tackling mid-tier quests, such as escorting caravans or clearing out a bandits' hideout in a group), Gold-Rank (elite veterans undertaking high-stakes ventures, like retrieving relics from the Blasted Wastes), and the exalted Platinum-Rank (legends who lead major campaigns, such as allying with the Arcane Council against the Lich King).
The guild's main hall buzzes with activity: roaring hearths flank long tables where adventurers pore over maps, share spoils, and haggle over contracts with the guild's clerks; walls adorned with trophies like an orc's warhorn or a siren's scale necklace. At its center, a massive oaken table hosts the quest board—an enchanted slab where postings glow with urgency: red for immediate dangers and blue for exploratory commissions from the Arcane Council seeking ley line anomalies. The quests and rewards vary. On the second floor, there are alchemical labs, training halls and private chambers housing guild members while a subterranean vault secures artifacts. The leaders of the guild including the Guildmaster reside on the third floor and that's where the hall of remembrance is located

Dukedom of Vespera

Nestled in the mist-shrouded valleys and ancient forests of Crown Continent, the Dukedom of Vespera stands as a realm of shadows and subtle power.
Ruled by Duke Alaric Voss—whose illusory deceptions have thwarted invasions—the dukedom thrives on arcane subtlety rather than brute force, its people descendants of Eldorian exiles from the Scourging, a cataclysmic purge centuries ago when their forebears were accused of unleashing a magical plague upon the city-state.
This enigmatic duchy spans jagged highlands, fog-choked pine groves, and labyrinthine river canyons, where an atmosphere of intrigue and illusion exists.
Vespera harbors open hostility toward Eldoria, fueling cycles of vengeance since the Scourging.

History of Elyria

The Age of Myth (c. -5000)

In the distant past, gods and titans walked the earth alongside primordial beasts. Great heroes rose to challenge the forces of darkness, and legends were born. Ouroboros were worshipped as gods during this time.

The Rise of Civilizations (c. -3000)

As the Age of Myth ended, the civilizations emerged. The dwarves delved deep into the mountains, forging their strongholds. The elves built their cities amidst the trees and humans began to spread across the land.

The Dragon War (c. -2500)

Dragons' tyranny sparked rebellion among the younger races. After centuries of conflict, an alliance of the younger races succeeded in driving the dragons back to their mountain strongholds. Rumors say Ouroboros aided them.

The Era of Exploration (Year 0)

In the aftermath of the Dragon War, a period of exploration and discovery began. Adventurers and scholars ventured forth to map uncharted lands, seek lost treasures, and uncover ancient secrets.

The First Great War (Years 215-219)

Conflicts arose between the young nations, leading to a devastating global war. The dwarves clashed with the elves, the humans fought amongst themselves.

The Treaty of Avalon (Year 219)

Witch queens in Celestia became mediators to stop the war. After long negotiations, all parties involved reached a peace agreement. Several human kingdoms were unified by Magnus the Uniter and became the Empire of Valoria.

The Age of Enlightenment (Year 250)

After the First Great War, scholars and mages made groundbreaking discoveries in fields such as magic, science, and philosophy.

The Second Great War (Years 370-375)

A continent-wide conflict that took place. Allied forces of humans, elves, and dwarves fought against a coalition of demons, orcs, goblinoids, and other monstrous races. During the Second Great War, dark elves sided with the forces of darkness, launching surprise attacks on elven cities from beneath the earth. This betrayal deepened the rift between dark elves and surface elves.

The Treaty of Valoris (Year 375)

The Second Great War ended with the signing of this treaty, establishing new borders and power dynamics.

The Mage Wars (Years 409-412)

A series of destructive magical battles occurred. Powerful archmages vied for supremacy, unleashing devastating spells that reshaped the landscape, the Lich King, who was a human archmage back then participated in it. Archmage Galadriel was an apprentice at that time and witnessed the devastation Valthor and other archmages caused.

Formation of the Arcane Council (Year 412)

The Mage Wars concluded with the formation of this council, which regulates the use of magic to prevent such calamities from recurring.

The Scourging (Years 500-503)

A mysterious plague that swept through Elyria, decimating populations and causing widespread panic. Though eventually contained, the Scourging left lasting scars on society and fueled distrust between races. During this time, a group of scholars suffering from the plague invented rituals of vampirism under the effect of a Blood Eclipse. They became the first vampires.

The Third Great War (Years 522-528)

After years of tensions, a full-scale war erupted. This time, humans clashed against dwarves and elves. Orcs and Goblinoids, sensing weakness, launched raids along the frontiers, further destabilizing the region.

The Treaty of Lumina (Year 528)

The Third Great War ended with a fragile peace agreement brokered by the Arcane Council.

The Dragon Vanishment (Year 700)

Dragons suddenly vanished from Elyria without explanation. Some believe they retreated to hidden lairs, while others speculate they migrated to another plane of existence. After dragons vanished, dragonborn have become more prominent, stepping into leadership roles once held by their draconic ancestors.

The Time of Troubles (Year 950)

The Lich King tried to conquer all of dragonkin. He raised armies of undead dragons, turning dragonborn ancestors against their kind. Dragonborn led by Clan Stormscale defeated the Lich King at great cost, with help from Archmage Galadriel and the Arcane Council. The Lich King retreated to Drakonis.

The Current Era (Year 1000-present)

Today, Elyria stands at a crossroads. Ancient rivalries simmer beneath the surface, threatening to boil over into renewed conflict. New threats are emerging from the shadows—cults worshipping dark gods, aberrations crawling up from the underworld, and sinister conspiracies plotting in secret.
