'''{{PAGENAME}}''' currently serves as [[The Lord Chamberlain of Stone Bay]], inheriting the title from her late-father Benjamin Lascelles after his death. Acting as the [[Ulysses Mountbatten|Sovereign]]'s administrative assistant, her job consists of copious amounts of paperwork and writing. Malena did not always aspire to work for the Crown in such an intimate way, and has caused a fair amount of trouble in the past.

== Personality ==
While in the past Malena was quite friendly, she was also quite naive. Loss after loss, betrayal after betrayal, she became a hardened version of herself- and her soft edges began to harden. Despite her small and frail appearance, anyone who has been around for a while knows not to cross her- lest they be pelted by the bullets of her revolver. While she would never intentionally do anything to harm the Kingdom, she is not against using her position to lock people out of climbing the ladder of power.

Despite this, Malena holds a ''fierce'' loyalty to the Throne and the Kingdom. Her commitment is well known, though people tend to not realize she would do ''anything'' she is told by those above her- even if the order is to slaughter someone she loves.

Her edges are not all rough however, as anyone who has seen her in the presence of her multitudes of pets knows of her soft side. She holds love, just not much of it- and especially not for those who simply exist to waste her time. However, it's not uncommon for her to offer information and answers to those brave enough to ask.

== History ==
Not much is known about her life before Kara, with herself not even knowing. Her first memories consist of waking in a grave under the netherrack, and her (now former) name- Vanya Umbris. She arrived in Kara formally in the year 902 AJ. While many records from the time are lost, it's no secret that Malena got into quite a bit of trouble during her earlier years in Kara. More than once she was chased and arrested for trespassing, and eventually assault on an officer- [[Akhiilor]], whom she punched in the face during an escapade into the walls of the [[City of Stone Bay|City]]. A few months into her living in Kara, she was reforged into a dwarf and formally joined the Towerlord Family, a high-noble family within the (formerly) [[Duchy of Stendhal|Kingdom of Stendahl]]- wherein she changed her name to Malena Towerlord.

=== Duchy of Stendahl ===
----
For many years Malena lived as a dwarf within Stendahl, with her grandfather Corellian Towerlord and her mother Avalencia Towerlord. While much of her time was spent kicking up trouble with the authorities, she often attempted to make friends with whoever she could. She worked in the wheat fields of her home, and occasionally assisted in the administration and running of her family's domain- the Lonely Fields. Despite this, she never held any official job title during her time in Stendahl.

Like many within Stendahl at the time, she worshipped the goddess [[Moder Jord]]- who was later revealed to Kara to be evil. Despite this revelation, Malena still found herself within the worship of the Goddess- who she had found herself attached to. Eventually, Malena would begin to hear the Goddess speaking to her- encouraging her to build shrines across the lands of Kara, which she did.

During this time, she found herself in relatively good graces within the Kingdom of Stone Bay, where she was hired by a member of the Mountbatten family to work as a Page within the [[Prismarine Citadel]]. As the first Page withing the Citadel in the modern day, her job was quite vague- though she often assisted members of the Royal Family with various tasks and kept watch of the entrance to the Citadel. During this time, Malena was arrested by [[Henry Sharpe]] after confessing to building a shrine to Moder Jord on [[Parliament Island]]. While only formally charged with ''"building without a permit"'', she recieved a threat from [[Sillas Deepcreek|Chaplain Sillas Deepcreek]], who threatened to try her in the then existing ''Court of the Deep''. She was not tried, and was ultimately shown mercy by Stone Bay.

=== Kingdom of Stone Bay ===
----
Eventually the persuasions of Moder Jord became more demented, and she was compelled to kill her grandfather ''(Corellian Towerlord)'' while he was in a magically-induced coma. Though she resisted the demand, she informed her mother of the situation. After her grandfather awoke, she was disowned by her family. During this time, Malena joined the [[Church of the Deep]].

During her work as a page, her duties had become more than simple tasks, evolving into submitting reports of those whom she interacted with, some being 40 pages long. This caught the attention of Benjamin Lascelles, who was acting [[Prime Minister of Stone Bay]]. After her disownment, she went to the one place that had never lied or betrayed her- the Kingdom of Stone Bay. She reached out to Benjamin, who comforted her- eventually offering adoption, and entrance into his family. She took the opportunity, and became Malena Lascelles.

Her work evolved even more after the adoption, with her reports becoming weekly- and her general workload increasing.

=== The Seige of the Ehrtfort ===
----
As tensions arose between the Colony of the [[Ehrtfort]] and the rest of the Kingdom of Stone Bay, Malena quite often found herself tied up with diplomatic work between the Kingdom and the Colony. While gathering information on the Colony was a key aspect of her duties, she also found herself delivering a gun to the [[High Inquisitor]] on behalf of the Kingdom. This eventually led to her bringing the people of Stendahl to the Colony's land- which resulted in the death of Umeriad Stonebraid, an important religious figure in Stendahl at the time. It was shortly after this incident that Shasta Fablemaster ''(then known as Shasta Lascelles)'' was disowned from the Lascelles Family. It was around this time that Malena's health took a sharp decline.

Eventually the [[Nieseatian War]] began it's end, and Benjamin Lascelles was killed by the necromancer [[Metinos]] in the middle of the multi-day [[Seige of the Ehrtfort]]. In the same battle, Malena was also killed by Metinos, where a small part of her soul was taken by the Necromancer- which eventually made her health decline further. Though unlike her father, she awoke due to [[The Curse]] within the Ehrtfort itself. After a ceasefire was called by [[Bridget Maldore]], Malena was granted safe passage from the Ehrtfort to her own people.

Mere hours after being informed of her father's death, Malena was obliged to act immediately in her father's stead as [[Lord Chamberlain of Stone Bay]], speaking during the sitting of the [[Court of the Prismarine Throne]] where 10 individuals were selected to infiltrate the [[Arcane Battery]] within the Ehrtfort and kill [[Macadier Maldore]].

=== Beginnings of the Chamberlain ===
----
After Macadier Maldore was killed and the Colony of Nieseat fell, Malena became quite close with [[Dylan Malahide|Baron Dylan Malahide]]. Simultaneously, Malena had become quite overwhelmed with her new responsibilties of being a Baroness of Stone Bay ''(which gave her the title of "Lord Chamberlain")'', and eventually gave up her lordship in exchange for being knighted into [[The Most Noble Order of the Bay]]. After this, she married Dylan Malahide and became Malena Malahide.

Being her second marriage ''(the first being annulled)'', she believed she had found her forever partner. This feeling became cut short when Malena learned of her husband's acts of chronomancy, which led to her not only moving into the [[Prismarine Citadel]], but divorcing her husband and reporting him to the authorities ''(twice)''. This move into the Citadel eventually led to the rapid development of a ''"relationship"'' with the [[Prismarine Throne]], which would eventually lead to her becoming one of the five living persons who have touched the Throne and survived.

Much of Malena's life after returning to the name of Malena Lascelles became quite standard, with much of her time being spent confined to her office and home of the Citadel.

=== The 14th Prime Minister ===
----
As time passed, Malena eventually strived to return to her roots of being within [[The Parliament of Orlan]]. Starting off as a [[Magistrate]], Malena found herself as the Home Minister under the 13th Prime Minister of Stone Bay, [[Ghaunt Blazeborn]]. During this time, she presented 11 bills, 7 of which passed into law.

Though not originally intended, after Ghaunt admitted that he did not intend to run for Prime Minister again, Malena decided she wanted to take over. She sat as Prime Minister for two terms, during which time she presented 9 more bills, with 7 passing into law.

Shortly before the end of her second term as Prime Minister, Malena was given back her Lordship by King Ulysses I, naming her the ''"greatest living legislator of Stone Bay"'' during a sitting of the Prismarine Court.

After working tirelessly within the Parliament for three terms, Malena found herself exhausted and burnt out- despite her successes. After deciding to not run for a third term as Prime Minister, she refocused on her work as Lord Chamberlain. Though, during the term of the 16th Prime Minister, Malena sat as the Speaker of the House for a short time before the Parliamentary Session was unexpectedly dissolved at the request of the Prime Minister.

=== The Lord Chamberlain of Stone Bay ===
----
During her time within the Parliament, Malena had become quite close to [[Hazel Firwen]], who had taken back their position as [[Lord Mayor of the City of Stone Bay|Lord Mayor]]. The two had slowly grown from neighbors, to friends, to partners. Though they would never legally marry, a wedding ceremony and reception would be held- where the two would exchange their vows infront of their closest friends and family.

In the present day, Malena is often found within the Citadel, sitting at her office desk. Her days consist of writing laws and working towards finalizing the Kingdom's newest iteration of government. Though on her occasional breaks, she can be found walking laps around the City, or watching sparring sessions in the James Barker Arena.

The Kingdom of '''Stone Bay''' is the nation that governs all of [[Kara]]. It was founded long ago by its semi-mythical first king, [[Jephdaphro]], who led the earliest Baymen to war against the [[Drenorans]]. Stone Bay's victory secured its place as the hegemon of Kara, a title they hold to this day.

Currently, [[Ulysses Mountbatten|King Ulysses I]] rules over Stone Bay.

== History ==
=== The First King, Jephdaphro I ===
The people of Stone Bay were originally nomadic. Under King Jephdaphro, they valued conquest by the sea. Early Baymen travelled in fleets to conquer small city-states for their sprawling, seabound empire. Jephdaphro's reign saw Stone Bay declare war against the Drenorans for their crimes against nature. The Drenorans attempted to reach beyond mortal means by contacting the dragon [[Valynclex]], tapping into the magic of [[Realitas]], and accidentally creating the Curse.

These actions formed the basis of Stone Bay's ''casus belli'' against the Drenorans. During this time, the Drenorans forged many artifacts to defeat Stone Bay's forces. The [[Azure Blade]], in particular, was one of several weapons built to slay the wizard [[Arimaex]]. The combined effort of Stone Bay's armies, fleets, and magical powers resulted in Jephdaphro leading the Bay to victory against the Drenorans. With their last-ditch attempts at godhood failing, the Drenorans faded into history, defeated and destroyed by Stone Bay. King Jephdaphro used this victory as an opportunity to settle his people. The age of sea conquest was over. Stone Bay built its Prismarine Citadel on [[Orlan]], one of Kara's islands, and established their rule over the archipelago.

King Jephdaphro disappeared hundreds of years ago on an expedition outside of Kara. He brought with him the famed [[Prismarine Sword]] and [[Shield]]. He left Ulysses Mountbatten to rule in his stead as Regent and Lord Mayor of Stone Bay. Hundreds of years later, Jephdaphro never returned to Stone Bay. Thus, the kingdom entered its regency era.

=== The Regency Era, Ulysses Mountbatten ===
In the years following Jephdaphro's disappearance, power consolidated around Lord Mayor Ulysses. The 901st year of Jephdaphro's reign saw great change in Stone Bay. The kingdom opened its ports to the rest of [[Olvunter]]. As a result, immigration to Kara skyrocketed, with over a thousand people coming and going to the islands. Hundreds of wanderers settled in Kara, adopting Baymen traditions or synthesising them with their foreign cultures. The Kingdom of Stone Bay became a melting pot of cultures, resulting in the formation of institutions like the [[Church of the Deep]] and the [[Stendahl|Duchy of Stendahl]].

This year also saw [[Arimaex]]'s betrayal of Stone Bay. The former Court Mage revealed himself as a lich, and was consorting with the dark dragon [[Valynclex]] for power and control. Conflict erupted between Arimaex and Kara as a whole. The [[Battle of the Eternum Glades]] concluded this conflict, resulting in seventeen dead Karans, the neutralisation of Valynclex, and the death of Arimaex.

Arimaex's defeat did not spell the end of conflict during the regency era. [[Dragone Collins]], a [[Nieseatian]] diplomat, was assassinated on Karan soil. This brought the ire of [[Macadier Maldore]], archmage and Archon of Nieseat, who levied threats and intimidations towards Stone Bay. Mountbatten defused the political tension by signing a non-aggression pact with Archon Macadier. For ten years, there was peace in Stone Bay.

Peace was broken in the year 911. During the [[January 7th Parliament]], Macadier Maldore interrupted the session by teleporting Ulysses Mountbatten, Lord Marshal [[Arthur Justice]], and Lord Chancellor [[Blue Mountbatten]] to the [[Ahdredan]]. Leaderless, Stone Bay was [[Occupation of Stone Bay|occupied]] by the Nieseatian leadership.
=== Occupation by Nieseat ===
Nieseat's occupation of Stone Bay lasted for one month. During this time, Macadier Maldore labelled it the "Colony of Orlan", and installed the then-Nieseatian loyalist Elmes Fin as its governor. Without its key leaders, what was left of Stone Bay's government was folded into Nieseat's three powers: the [[Ordenza]], the [[Halcyon Guild]], and the [[Old Blood]]. Only the Church of the Deep, led by Synarch [[Fafnir Deepcreek]], provided hidden sanctuary to Baymen loyalists.

To counteract Nieseatian influence, powerful Baymen like [[Benjamin Lascelles]] and Rowan Umber willingly entered Nieseatian institutions. Inside these organisations, they purposefully caused delays and mishaps to buy time for the Mountbattens and the Justice to return from the Ahdredan. Their plans resulted in the deaths of key Nieseatian officials, [[Folkmod Erendellen]] and [[Drace Latimeer]], crippling Nieseat's governing capacity significantly until their revolution began. The rebellion occurred after a series of events led to the theft of the [[Lunar Crown]]. This artifact ended up in the hands of the Church of the Deep, who crowned [[Sillas Deepcreek]] as the second king of Stone Bay.
=== The Second King, Sillas Deepcreek ===
Sillas Deepcreek's accession to the [[Prismarine Throne]] was a direct act of rebellion against Nieseat. Using the magic of the Throne, King Sillas retrieved Ulysses Mountbatten, Blue Mountbatten, and Arthur Justice from the Ahedredan. Deepcreek remained king for the remainder of the war but returned executive power to Lord Mayor Ulysses. Following a declaration of war by the Lord Mayor, Stone Bay led a coalition of Karan nations against the Nieseatian invaders, kickstarting the [[Nieseatian War]].

Following the [[Nieseatian_War|Battle in the Battery]], Stone Bay enjoyed a brief period of peace. During a session of Prismarine Court, King Sillas voluntarily abdicated on the condition that Ulysses Mountbatten would take his place. Mountbatten accepted, acceding to the Prismarine Throne as the third King of Stone Bay.
=== The Third King, Ulysses Mountbatten ===
King Ulysses' reign began in relative peace. His first act as king was to deliver various artifacts, stolen from the [[Fellrook]], to the [[Behli Lothren]] for safekeeping away from Kara. The aforementioned peace would not last long. During a session of [[Parliament of Orlan|Parliament]], the goddess [[Moder Jord]] appeared before the room. She made deliberate threats against Stendahl, specifically [[Bill Blackrock]], before leaving. Stone Bay initially remained neutral in the conflict between Stendahl and Moder Jord, but entered the fight after the goddess' forces attacked Orlan. Stone Bay would provide military assistance to Stendahl during and after the [[Fall of Dhara]], and its [[Navy]] was key to winning the subsequent [[Battle for Dhara]] at the end of [[Moder Jord's Invasion]].

Only a few months later, the terrorist group known as the [[Cirallian Liberation Front]] (CLF) began their operations in Kara. They bombed several places, including Stone Bay. With assistance from Stendahl, [[Ibrithil]], [[Meloria]], and other Karan sovereignties, the CLF was destroyed on a mission spearheaded by the Stone Bay Navy.

The [[Fey Incursion]] heavily impacted the Kingdom of Stone Bay. Various archfey, under the influence and coercion of [[ Granny Hildegard]], attempted to take root in Kara. [[Captain Dalos]], archfey of the Spring Court, levelled a courthouse in Stone Bay during his [[war games]]. The [[Fantastical Surveyor]] created the [[Mayhill]] underneath [[Steward's Cross]]. Lastly, and most importantly, the [[Lord of Rot]] created the [[Wolcott]] with [[Osten Credence]]'s help just southeast of Stone Bay. After Hiildegard was defeated in her games, any interference from the Feywild in Stone Bay's endeavours was soundly halted.

King Ulysses also oversaw the [[Timeline| DEW-Figh Conflict in Kara]], opting to remain neutral rather than pledge Stone Bay's support to either side. When [[face-stealers]] were released due to this conflict, Mountbatten demanded that the Determiners and the Figh to resolve the matter. Stone Bay's forces assisted in defeating the face-stealers, of which included Mountbatten, who fought on the frontlines being one of the few Karans who could singlehandedly destroy a face-stealer.

Under his reign, the Kingdom of Stone Bay extended its reach beyond its city walls with the repealment of the Sovereignty Act; sovereign nations, such as [[Stendahl]], have been vassalised; and Stone Bay's police and military have been expanded greatly, with the establishment of the [[Royal Guard]] and the [[Legion]].

Ulysses Mountbatten is the current reigning monarch of Stone Bay, and is entering his second full year as king.

The Lich Arimaex was once apprentice to the Mage who, alongside the now near mythical King of [[Stone Bay]], once helped start the wars they are known for.

Little has been said about his master, except that he was a right tricky bastard, and it is said that Arimaex took his famous wizard hat from his master when he betrayed him and killed him, becoming the new Archmage of Stone Bay. This took place after the King Jeffdaphro left the Bay.

Arimaex wasn’t content with his research however, he took to following whispers in his search for every greater power, things beyond the veil, with [[Morgantha]] (who, apparently, had a relationship with the mage for several years) and eventually came to the Magic Giver the [[Drenorans]] so revered - [[Valynclex]]. This dragon has been raised to a godlike status in ages past, and promised Arimaex the knowledge he needed for his greatest venture - Lichdom - immortality of the sort which requires the sacrifice of another humanoid every day. Arimaex offered his soul to the trapped god, with the knowledge that the systems the Drenorans set up in ages past would keep the god and thus his soul well hidden.

== Season 1 ==
The Voices Whispering, the acolytes of Valynclex, known as the Voices (which included several players among their number) secretly pushed players to break these systems, several sigils of magic which the Drenorans had been lead to believe bound their curse (by Arimaex, who had suggested as much. In actuality they bound Valynclex to his prison). The new colonists were not in the know, and would continue to do so. Various NPC’s related to the Voices would be placed in trouble alongside the players, and several died as Arimaex became wise to their actions including: [[Danias of Mhede]], [[Boris_Bejewelled_Johnson|Boris]], and [[Khenna of Mhede]]. Eventually, once the threat Arimaex posed was made clear to everyone and the changing tides of time and influence were made clear to the Mayor by the players, he and [[Arthur Justice|Arthur]] decided to betray their friend.

The players bargained with the [[The Gambler |Gambler]] for a way to take Arimaex’s soul from the dragon as it escaped. Their battles with the dragon split reality for a moment, and when it came back together many peoples had sent shards of Arimaex’s soul which resided with the ‘shards’ of the dragon they battled. Then, using his soul, they lured him to the [[Eternum Glades]], with enchantments bound by the players using Cressida and Morgantha’s combined knowledge they used pieces of the powerful mage Cressida and bound them to the players, as physical markers which would prevent the Lich form leaving the Glade, where his powers were dampened by the nature of the place.
Here, with him lured, a parlay took place, where Arimaex demanded the absolute surrender of everyone else, and then was immediately slain on the spot! I’m joking of course, it was an illusion he had prepared.

Arimaex took to the canopy, flying in, laughing maniacally, and slaying various players then disappearing to recuperate. He was eventually lured into the base of the Glade, where the final blow was taken in front of the tree, and where his soul was then destroyed. Thus was the end of Arimaex.

== The Threat He Posed ==
Arimaex presented a notable threat because not only did he NEED to consume souls, he could rip them from targets he killed with ease. This provided a means of PERMANENTLY killing players and NPC’s alike. What is more, Arimaex sought greater shows of power, to become not only immortal but invincible so as to not fear the Archmages beyond their borders, the few people he actually feared in some regard.
He was more than happy to kill anyone who either got in his way, or uncovered any amount of arcane knowledge, for of course Arimaex was paranoid that someone would do what he had done, tricking and slaying the master of the region (him) to replace them.

BriannaKitsune: Added picture of Sable BladeFang to table

The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Stone Bay was formerly the head of government and chief civil administrator of the realm, responsible for directing day-to-day governance under the authority of the Crown. The office is one of the few that predate the establishment of the [[Treaty of Orlan]] and is defined in the Stone Bay Code as the principal executive intermediary between the Legislature and the King.

Following constitutional and institutional reforms, the office of Prime Minister was superseded

The Determiners of the Eight Winds is Olvunter's largest trading company, with trade routes stretching across the globe. They played a large part in Kara's entrance to the world stage and remain Kara's largest trading partner.

==Background==
The Determiners of the Eight Winds is a mega mercantile company formed by the Merchant Princes of Dormas. These princes were wealthy individuals and families who formed the loose federation government of Dormas. They use DEW to connect the world with trade and further each of their specialties to gain even more wealth and power. The Determiners have a hand on every continent and in almost every port west of [[The Adredahn]], connecting and facilitating the flow of goods and services across the seas. Positions as Merchant princes are not based on hereditary lines but instead on the merits and wealth of each individual. Within the last century, DEW has increased its interest in sovereign trade posts in the [[The Wilden Wood | Wilden Wood]] and south of [[Yariel]], forming colonies as they grew.

==The Merchant Princes==
Each of the Merchant Princes is not only the leader of their respective regions in Dormas but also controls various sectors and specializations within The Determiners. These princes exert incredible control over the wider world through a near monopoly of trade, each having their specialties and focuses that they use to set themselves apart.

'''Cheel Alarian''': Merchant Prince of the Alarian Company. Their company trades in spice, which they hold the secrets to. They have recently begun to lose power as their spices have started to be grown in other locations.

'''Illaria Desenacis''': Newest Merchant Prince. She is known for unifying the temples in the northern islands into a single organization. She is seen as untrustworthy due to her ties to the old religions and profiting from church services.

'''Honn Reggonys''': Once considered a firebrand, he has reportedly become more balanced as he ages. Honn is known as the Merchant Prince of mercenary armies, and his “immortals” have supposedly held their contract even in death.

'''Thelaris Exeder''': Known for their purchase of a great number of Dorman shipyards, Thelaris has focused much of their energy and gold on making newer, faster, and bigger ships for the fleet.

'''Allliun Qadin''': Allliun breaks the convention of the Merchant Princes in that they have no overarching specialization. Their interests are vast and cover almost every sector of the market. They are not respected for any grand skill in one area but for their dedication to growth itself.

'''Amalric Marekes''': Also known as the “Wine King,” Amalric has focused on the Dacian, Yariel, and Dorman markets. He has commissioned specialized ships to carry wine and a logistics division dedicated to its transport. He also connects with Kara through the [[The Accordant Archipelago|Archipelago]] and the Chaplin [[Sillas Deepcreek]].

==The Determiners in Kara==

===Dew in Kara’s history===
The Determiners have had a sizable hand in the history of Kara. While it was the third King of Stonebay, His Majesty Ulysses I Mountbatten, first of his name, opened the ports of Kara for trade, and the Determers of the Eight Winds added Kara to the trade maps. DEW has been the gateway for Kara for hundreds of years, being one of the only companies that can navigate through the thick fogs and storms surrounding the land.

===Trade with Kara===
DEW is Kara’s largest trade partner, being their source for many magical and mundane goods that enter Kara’s shores. The Determiners maintain a trade warehouse on the docks within the City of Stonebay. From here, DEW ships lay low in the water, heavy with goods, unloaded their imports, and loaded back up with commodities and materials only found in Kara. DEW works with local institutions like The Royal Bank of the Bay and their trade post to facilitate their import and export operations in Kara. Kara presents a unique situation for the Determiners when it comes to currency. As the world's default trade force, most places trade in DEW-minted gold coins, while Kara uses locally minted silver, meaning they have to convert and manage the flow between the two currencies.

===Recent events===
Recently, DEW became increasingly interested in some items only found in Kara. They set up a program and reactivated their trade post within Kara to export as many unique items as possible. They hired many Karans and caused a massive influx of silver into the economy.

Soon after, the export program started to wind down, and Kara was informed that a delegation from The Determiners, including the Commodore of the Accordant Archipelago, would be arriving soon. The whole affair started with a [[Determer's Gala | masquerade ball]] to introduce the representatives from DEW to Kara while hiding their true intentions for their visit, which was the recovery of a “Command Stone” stolen by a group called [[The Figh |Figh]]. A mire of intrigue, secrets, backstabbing, and backroom conversations followed, leading to [[Face Stealer Conflict | war with the face-stealer demons]]. The Determiners ultimately worked with Figh and the [[Kingdom of Stone Bay|Kingdom of Stonebay]] to rid Kara of the [[Face Stealers| face-stealers]] and undo the damage caused as best they could, all while sprinkling their influence into the minds of Karans. This combined effort and an act to preserve The Dermerners Of the Eight Winds' connections with Kara led to the signing of the “Command Stone Accord” between all three parties, restoring peace and trade.

==Notable Dew Figures in Kara==

'''[[Agostino|Commodore Agostino]]''': Commodore of the Acordant Archipelago division within DEW. A family man and quite gregarious. During his time in Kara, Agustino sought to spread his influence, enjoy good parties, and recover the “Command Stone” before Figh could use it. He hired his own force of guards from skilled Karans, handed out large amounts of silver to the populace, and even assisted members from the Duchy of Stendahl in locating the legendary lost forge of Hammerhand.

'''[[Eargus Glowgoarge]]'''(Deceased): Credited with putting Kara on the trade maps, Eargus was a renowned explorer sponsored and employed by the Determiners. He would explore new markets, hunt down legends to find their truth, recover any artifacts the Determiners deemed profitable, and return the others to local people. He was friendly and outgoing to many Karans, genuinely loving the people and looking for their adoration. Eargus had the most knowledge of what the “Command Stone” was for and the leads to track down to locate the “Cache” mentioned. Unfortunately, before Eargus was able to recover the “Command Stone,” he was killed at a party for him by a member of Figh who had been hiding amongst the members of DEW.

'''[[Vulmar Dorlana]]''': As an enforcer of DEW, Vulmar was seen as the most active in hunting for Figh, even if Kara didn't know that was his goal at first. He worked to track down “Pirates” and other smugglers and bandits while collecting information on potential members of Figh that were known to have made landfall in Kara before The Determiner’s arrival.

'''[[Habagat Punongpuso]]''': Habagat to Kara seemed the least involved in the “Command Stone” situation. Coming to Kara shortly after the main DEW party, Habagat sold luxury goods, mangos, and soup to Kara and bought up items from the population as long as they could sell them on it, introducing large amounts of DEW gold into Kara’s economy. With her previous “personal” connection to a member of Figh, those who spoke with Habagat would be given a unique perspective on the organization. Habagat, during the war with the “face-stealer” demons, performed a ritual to reach out to her God, one that brought many concerns to Karans. This ritual led to hints on defeating the demons and their connections to the Obelisks.

'''[[Henry Sharpe]]''': Barrister and Solicitor for the Kingdom of Stonebay. Sharpe was also the agent and legal counselor in Kara for the Determiners until issues during the war with the “face-stealers” led to his departure.

'''[[Nimora Bloodwell]]''': At the time, the Mayor of Hollow Creek, Nimora, was hired by the Determiners to be their “Procurement Officer” for Kara. Later, she was elevated to "Station Chief" for the Kara branch before the general dismissal of all Karan employees. She was also tasked with preparations for the recent visitation of DEW representatives, leading up to the war with the “face-stealers.”

'''Anders Mackay''': Hired around the same time as Nimora during the procurement campaign, Anders was tasked with the trade post’s security and setting up a DEW guard force in Kara.

Taller and regal looking Elf, usually wearing a golden monocle. White/silver hair. Attire is functional but well made, usually a long coat. He doesn’t show much emotion on his face. Around 150 years old. His appearance doesn't match his personality.

== Personality ==
''Calculated, Hidden Emotions, Slimy, Driven, Ruthless''

Vulmar wouldn’t reveal what he was thinking or doing, he seemed kind but he didn’t care about the people of Kara. Very veiled until something unplanned happened and he couldn’t control it.

== History ==
Vulmar ran a business within the [[Accordent Archipelago]] that became very successful, getting the eyes of [[Determiners of the Eight Winds|DEW]]. DEW then bought him out and gave him more opportunities, ultimately bringing him to Dacia. Within Dacia he became a business consultant and helped the businesses grow with his expertise. Going down this route led him to the [[The Figh|Figh]] and becoming an Enforcer hunting down The Shepard, [[Yari Praxis]].

They were searching for the Figh, the Shepherd in general. Getting information from [[Tarvisa Ebernet]] to stay on the trail but never get to them in time. Following these clues lead Vulmar to come to Kara in search of the Figh.

=== Time in Kara ===
Vulmar’s first introduction was at the [[Norbrook]] ball in the poker game, where he ended up winning. Within Kara he put on the persona of a businessman, putting on airs of caring about the businesses of Kara. He was trying to find out all of the businesses in Kara to get information out of them and locate the Figh. After this was found out, he was a person that broke the rules to get what he wanted, leading his group to track down the Figh and bring them in.

== Personality ==
''A Man of the People, Altruistic, Greedy, Determined, Underthinker.''

Tarvisa is showboaty but not discriminatory. He’s always willing to let someone speak and hear what they have to say, and very much someone that focuses on the quality of a situation because in his opinion ‘If everyone isn't having a good time, no one should be having a good time.’

== History ==
Tarvisa’s Parents died in a combination of [[Determiners of the Eight Winds|DEW]] shenanigans, once they were dead he took over. When his parents were alive he thought he couldn't fix the problems in society so after their death he took that as an opportunity to try to fix it all. He fired everyone in the household that didn't fit in with this new way. Tarvisa didn’t get along with the other Dew members, since they were part of the problem he wanted to fix. He went to the Figh and offered them help and became an informant for them. Less of an active member of the Figh, just fed them the information to help others. He worked closely with Edwin, he gave Edwin vague information on locations of interest to the Figh. Tarvisa also allowed Yvana to use his image to trick nobles, as Tarvisa knew he could always talk his way out of it. Within Dew Tarvisa worked closely with Vulmar to get information and leak it to the Figh.

Just before coming to Kara, there was a big heist for the command stone off the shores of Kara. Tarvisa helped with the location and was aware of what was happening. When he realised that the Figh were being followed he went along with DEW because he knew that if he didnt the Figh would die. He used this opportunity to throw them off of where the Figh were and what they were doing.

=== Time in Kara ===
Once in [[Kara]], he was ‘helping’ DEW get the [[The Figh|Figh]] that was causing trouble. Working with the Figh, Yari is particular, to attempt to throw Vulmar off. Tarvisa was kind and attempted to be one with the people. Refused to be referred to by his Noble titles and went by just his name. He was very open and made a point to bring himself down to their level, and didn't shy away from talking to the ‘common man’. When he was around nobles he would act accordingly without pushing it. When Eargus started to get too close to the Figh, he got some poison from Yvana after calling in the debt Yvana owed him. and used it on Eargus to take him out. After the murder he was trying to be very caring and helpful to the Karans. He was thrown in jail for the murder and then later broken out by The Garden when Yvana made an attack on the DEW ships.

== Relationships ==

* [[Habagat Punongpuso]]: Alive, didn’t care much what they did.
* [[Commodore Agostino]]: Alive, didn’t know much about them because they didnt work together, acquaintances.

== Personality ==
''Calculating, Cowardly, Vengeful''

Edwin was a deeply insecure person who wanted to not have the marker of poverty on him. It became very clear to him that within Kara he could create who he was because they didn't know him. He was just Edwin, aggressive towards people that tried to ruin this.

== History ==
Edwin grew up as an orphan in Dacia under a caretaker called the ‘Rat Catcher’. The Rat Catcher then brought him into the Figh. Edwin was known as someone that could find things, and he was very useful when Tarvisa started to help the Figh. Tarvisa gave a general direction for artifacts and Edwin pinpointed their location. Edwin and Tarvisa developed a close relationship because Tarvisa gave Edwin the opportunity to become more than just a thief, and he helped Edwin learn how to talk to people of higher status. Edwin was tasked to do things within the Figh because of his specialization, but because of this specialization he wasn’t a leader.

Edwin was a part of the group within the Cerwood and went in alongside Yvana and Yari to steal the Command Stone. After this they were running from DEW trying to hide and they made their way to Kara.

===Time in Kara===

Edwin played the role of an everyday guy that was way over their head. They got frustrated alongside the players because of what was happening. Pushed the player to find things out because he didn’t know information either. A less aggressive way to join the Figh than the other avenues.

At first he interacted like a regular Shopkeeper within Kara, reporting it all back to Yvana and Yari. He helped the Karans with rituals, found a temple on accident, guided people to find artifacts, and just a general public opinion improver for the Figh. When the plan to break Tarvisa out of the cell was enacted, he set chickens on the Royal Guard to distract them and pull DEW away from their ships. Started to label people against him as Cheats and Liars because he was too. Once everything was done he left Kara unceremoniously.

==Relationships==
* [[Yvana Gataki]]: Alive, worked under within the Figh.
* [[Tarvisa Ebernet]]: Alive, First person that looked at him like a person despite the class difference.
* [[Yari Praxis]]: Alive, worked under within the Figh
* Devrin Kane: Alive, Blind trust in Edwin, and grounded Edwin that not everyone was fully self-serving.

Determiners of the Eight Winds

The Determiners of the Eight Winds is Olvunter's largest trading company, with trade routes stretching across the globe. They played a large part in Kara's entrance to the world stage and remain Kara's largest trading partner.

==Background==
The Determiners of the Eight Winds is a mega mercantile company formed by the Merchant Princes of Dormas. These princes were wealthy individuals and families who formed the loose federation government of Dormas. They use DEW to connect the world with trade and further each of their specialties to gain even more wealth and power. The Determiners have a hand on every continent and in almost every port west of [[The Adredahn]], connecting and facilitating the flow of goods and services across the seas. Positions as Merchant princes are not based on hereditary lines but instead on the merits and wealth of each individual. Within the last century, DEW has increased its interest in sovereign trade posts in the [[The Wilden Wood | Wilden Wood]] and south of [[Yariel]], forming colonies as they grew.

==The Merchant Princes==
Each of the Merchant Princes is not only the leader of their respective regions in Dormas but also controls various sectors and specializations within The Determiners. These princes exert incredible control over the wider world through a near monopoly of trade, each having their specialties and focuses that they use to set themselves apart.

'''Cheel Alarian''': Merchant Prince of the Alarian Company. Their company trades in spice, which they hold the secrets to. They have recently begun to lose power as their spices have started to be grown in other locations.

'''Illaria Desenacis''': Newest Merchant Prince. She is known for unifying the temples in the northern islands into a single organization. She is seen as untrustworthy due to her ties to the old religions and profiting from church services.

'''Honn Reggonys''': Once considered a firebrand, he has reportedly become more balanced as he ages. Honn is known as the Merchant Prince of mercenary armies, and his “immortals” have supposedly held their contract even in death.

'''Thelaris Exeder''': Known for their purchase of a great number of Dorman shipyards, Thelaris has focused much of their energy and gold on making newer, faster, and bigger ships for the fleet.

'''Allliun Qadin''': Allliun breaks the convention of the Merchant Princes in that they have no overarching specialization. Their interests are vast and cover almost every sector of the market. They are not respected for any grand skill in one area but for their dedication to growth itself.

'''Amalric Marekes''': Also known as the “Wine King,” Amalric has focused on the Dacian, Yariel, and Dorman markets. He has commissioned specialized ships to carry wine and a logistics division dedicated to its transport. He also connects with Kara through the [[The Accordant Archipelago|Archipelago]] and the Chaplin [[Sillas Deepcreek]].

==The Determiners in Kara==

===Dew in Kara’s history===
The Determiners have had a sizable hand in the history of Kara. While it was the third King of Stonebay, His Majesty Ulysses I Mountbatten, first of his name, opened the ports of Kara for trade, and the Determers of the Eight Winds added Kara to the trade maps. DEW has been the gateway for Kara for hundreds of years, being one of the only companies that can navigate through the thick fogs and storms surrounding the land.

===Trade with Kara===
DEW is Kara’s largest trade partner, being their source for many magical and mundane goods that enter Kara’s shores. The Determiners maintain a trade warehouse on the docks within the City of Stonebay. From here, DEW ships lay low in the water, heavy with goods, unloaded their imports, and loaded back up with commodities and materials only found in Kara. DEW works with local institutions like The Royal Bank of the Bay and their trade post to facilitate their import and export operations in Kara. Kara presents a unique situation for the Determiners when it comes to currency. As the world's default trade force, most places trade in DEW-minted gold coins, while Kara uses locally minted silver, meaning they have to convert and manage the flow between the two currencies.

===Recent events===
Recently, DEW became increasingly interested in some items only found in Kara. They set up a program and reactivated their trade post within Kara to export as many unique items as possible. They hired many Karans and caused a massive influx of silver into the economy.

Soon after, the export program started to wind down, and Kara was informed that a delegation from The Determiners, including the Commodore of the Accordant Archipelago, would be arriving soon. The whole affair started with a [[Determer's Gala | masquerade ball]] to introduce the representatives from DEW to Kara while hiding their true intentions for their visit, which was the recovery of a “Command Stone” stolen by a group called [[The Figh |Figh]]. A mire of intrigue, secrets, backstabbing, and backroom conversations followed, leading to [[Face Stealer Conflict | war with the face-stealer demons]]. The Determiners ultimately worked with Figh and the [[Kingdom of Stone Bay|Kingdom of Stonebay]] to rid Kara of the [[Face Stealers| face-stealers]] and undo the damage caused as best they could, all while sprinkling their influence into the minds of Karans. This combined effort and an act to preserve The Dermerners Of the Eight Winds' connections with Kara led to the signing of the “Command Stone Accord” between all three parties, restoring peace and trade.

==Notable Dew Figures in Kara==

'''[[Agostino|Commodore Agostino]]''': Commodore of the Acordant Archipelago division within DEW. A family man and quite gregarious. During his time in Kara, Agustino sought to spread his influence, enjoy good parties, and recover the “Command Stone” before Figh could use it. He hired his own force of guards from skilled Karans, handed out large amounts of silver to the populace, and even assisted members from the Duchy of Stendahl in locating the legendary lost forge of Hammerhand.

'''[[Eargus Glowgoarge]]'''(Deceased): Credited with putting Kara on the trade maps, Eargus was a renowned explorer sponsored and employed by the Determiners. He would explore new markets, hunt down legends to find their truth, recover any artifacts the Determiners deemed profitable, and return the others to local people. He was friendly and outgoing to many Karans, genuinely loving the people and looking for their adoration. Eargus had the most knowledge of what the “Command Stone” was for and the leads to track down to locate the “Cache” mentioned. Unfortunately, before Eargus was able to recover the “Command Stone,” he was killed at a party for him by a member of Figh who had been hiding amongst the members of DEW.

'''[[Vulmar Dorlana]]''': As an enforcer of DEW, Vulmar was seen as the most active in hunting for Figh, even if Kara didn't know that was his goal at first. He worked to track down “Pirates” and other smugglers and bandits while collecting information on potential members of Figh that were known to have made landfall in Kara before The Determiner’s arrival.

'''[[Habagat Punongpuso]]''': Habagat to Kara seemed the least involved in the “Command Stone” situation. Coming to Kara shortly after the main DEW party, Habagat sold luxury goods, mangos, and soup to Kara and bought up items from the population as long as they could sell them on it, introducing large amounts of DEW gold into Kara’s economy. With her previous “personal” connection to a member of Figh, those who spoke with Habagat would be given a unique perspective on the organization. Habagat, during the war with the “face-stealer” demons, performed a ritual to reach out to her God, one that brought many concerns to Karans. This ritual led to hints on defeating the demons and their connections to the Obelisks.

'''[[Henry Sharpe]]''': Barrister and Solicitor for the Kingdom of Stonebay. Sharpe was also the agent and legal counselor in Kara for the Determiners until issues during the war with the “face-stealers” led to his departure.

'''Nimora Bloodwell''': At the time, the Mayor of Hollow Creek, Nimora, was hired by the Determiners to be their “Procurement Officer” for Kara. Later, she was elevated to "Station Chief" for the Kara branch before the general dismissal of all Karan employees. She was also tasked with preparations for the recent visitation of DEW representatives, leading up to the war with the “face-stealers.”

'''Anders Mackay''': Hired around the same time as Nimora during the procurement campaign, Anders was tasked with the trade post’s security and setting up a DEW guard force in Kara.

The Figh

2025-05-21T16:09:16Z

BriannaKitsune:

{{Infobox_faction
|image=[[]]
|officialName=The Right People of Dacia
|capital=Dacia
|languages=Common
|demonyms=Figh
|government= Hierarchical Gang Collition
|rulers=
* Paccahn Ordris Vhelthim
|continents=
* [[Felana]]
}}

==Summary==
Robin Hood but Mobsters

==Background==
The Figh were not always a unified group. For their survival and protection, “The Right People of Dacia” came together under one unified organization of thieves. Their name represents all “lowlives” within the city, no matter what Figh(gang) they belong to. In the end, all of them answer to '''Paccahn Ordris Vhelthim'''. Not long ago, Ordris Vhelthim arrived in Dacia while “The Right People of Dacia” were at war with themselves. He first took over a small Figh and slowly started enforcing his rule, forcing out the weaker Paccahn, effectively becoming the ruler of the lower city. It is now under the leadership of Paccahn Ordris Vhelthim that The Figh is a single force united by “The Silent Peace” and its structure.

==The Figh’s Structure and Rules==

===The Structure===
* '''Paccahn''': The leader of many Figh(Gangs).
* '''Vora''': Leader of a Figh(Gang), answers to the Paccahn.
* '''Meomari''': Thieves in service to a Vora and Paccahn.
* '''Tinohr''': Special Meomari, whose job is to watch, listen, and signal thieves at opportunities.
* '''Cheirur''': A lowlife doctor who doesn't mind patching up people with questionable injuries at questionable hours for the right price. It comes from the old word for surgeon, Khierurgon.
* '''Black Alchemist''': An alchemist who isn't a member of the Alchemists Guild, and as such, their work is both Illegal and unbound by the Guild's restrictions.

===The Rules===
* '''Thieves Prosper''': Help fellow thieves; together, we will prosper. Don't be the military man who hires the mercenary only to expect them to die so he doesn't have to pay.
* '''The Peace Above''': Do not harm or steal from Guards or Nobles. The Nobles hold the Peace Above, and robbing them might break this secret peace and bring down their resources against the Right People.
* '''Each Pays their Piece''': Each Vora helps facilitate the thievery of their Meomari, and so each Meomari owes a fair share to their Vora, just as the Peccahn helps facilitate all thievery in Dacia. As such, one in five shares is owed to the Peccahn, and each Vora may claim a reasonable share afterward.
* '''The Chain of Respect''': Show respect to all others in the chain, but know well that the Peccahn is first amongst loyalty sworn, then the Vora, then your brothers and sisters of the night.

==The Figh in Kara==
Recently, the Figh visited [[Kara]] while on the run from [[Determiners of the Eight Winds|DEW]], having stolen an artifact they believed to be a key to a “weapon.” Three Figh members arrived before DEW, posing as typical merchants and newcomers to Kara. They integrated themselves into Kara, making friends, opening stores, and trying to gauge the Karan people’s openness to their way of thinking. A fourth member of the Figh arrived later aboard a DEW vessel, having embedded themselves with DEW to subvert their enforcer.

The members of Figh used the connections they made with the people of Kara to locate the “weapon” before DEW and get additional information and DEW movements from those same Karans. This led to a standoff between Figh and DEW, where the “face-stealer” demons were released. Then, under the threat of the Third King of [[Stone Bay]], Ulysses I Mountbatten, Figh worked with DEW and the Kingdom to fend off the demons, eventually sending them back to their plane or killing them.

After the conflict ended, The Figh, DEW, and the Kingdom of Stone Bay signed the “Command Stone Accord,” absolving DEW and The Figh of any legal repercussions in return for their help cleaning up the threat. The Accord also ensured that DEW and The Figh would not engage in any hostile actions within Karan waters, and the three parties would remain cordial and open to business. The Figh left, having found that Kara was unique in their relationship with their nobility and trust, and they left Kara with the idea that they might return for friends and business another time.

===Notable Figh Figures in Kara===
'''[[Yari Praxis]]''': Also known as “The Shepard,” Yari opened “Praxis Oddities,” a trinket and exotics shop in The City of Stonebay, to acquire funds and information in Kara. He is one of the leader types within the group of Figh that visited Kara during the war with the “face-stealers.”

'''[[Yvana Gataki]]''': Also known as “The Gardener,” Yvana worked with Yari, sharing a home in the city. She is a changeling, using the forms of others to gain information, and she has the skills of an alchemist. She hired a group of Karans called “The Garden” that helped her collect information. The Garden also participated in the distraction that freed Tarvisa from “The Golden Future,” DEW’s ship serving as their HQ in Kara.

'''[[Edwin Street]]''': Edwin played the everyday man but had the skills to interface with more “important” people. His job was to pinpoint the location of artifacts. He posed as a salesperson who could speak with animals to tell you what they were thinking. It was also believed that Edwin could use animals as spies, gaining information on DEW and others associated with them.

'''[[Tarvisa Ebernet]]''': Both a member of DEW and an informant to The Figh, Tarvisa took over his family's position within DEW after his parents' death. He “worked” with Vulmar of DEW, subverting his efforts to track and find those who had stolen the “Command Stone.” He fled from the Kingdom of Stone Bay Constabulary and DEW enforcers after killing Eargus at his send-off party.

The Figh

BriannaKitsune: Filled out page and Created infobox. Still need proper summary

{{Infobox_faction
|image=[[]]
|officialName=The Right People of Dacia
|capital=Dacia
|languages=Common
|demonyms=Figh
|government= Hierarchical Gang Collition
|rulers=
* Paccahn Ordris Vhelthim
|continents=
* [[Felana]]
}}

==Summary==
Robin Hood but Mobsters

==Background==
The Figh were not always a unified group. For their survival and protection, “The Right People of Dacia” came together under one unified organization of thieves. Their name represents all “lowlives” within the city, no matter what Figh(gang) they belong to. In the end, all of them answer to '''Paccahn Ordris Vhelthim'''. Not long ago, Ordris Vhelthim arrived in Dacia while “The Right People of Dacia” were at war with themselves. He first took over a small Figh and slowly started enforcing his rule, forcing out the weaker Paccahn, effectively becoming the ruler of the lower city. It is now under the leadership of Paccahn Ordris Vhelthim that The Figh is a single force united by “The Silent Peace” and its structure.

==The Figh’s Structure and Rules==

===The Structure===
* '''Paccahn''': The leader of many Figh(Gangs).
* '''Vora''': Leader of a Figh(Gang), answers to the Paccahn.
* '''Meomari''': Thieves in service to a Vora and Paccahn.
* '''Tinohr''': Special Meomari, whose job is to watch, listen, and signal thieves at opportunities.
* '''Cheirur''': A lowlife doctor who doesn't mind patching up people with questionable injuries at questionable hours for the right price. It comes from the old word for surgeon, Khierurgon.
* '''Black Alchemist''': An alchemist who isn't a member of the Alchemists Guild, and as such, their work is both Illegal and unbound by the Guild's restrictions.

===The Rules===
* '''Thieves Prosper''': Help fellow thieves; together, we will prosper. Don't be the military man who hires the mercenary only to expect them to die so he doesn't have to pay.
* '''The Peace Above''': Do not harm or steal from Guards or Nobles. The Nobles hold the Peace Above, and robbing them might break this secret peace and bring down their resources against the Right People.
* '''Each Pays their Piece''': Each Vora helps facilitate the thievery of their Meomari, and so each Meomari owes a fair share to their Vora, just as the Peccahn helps facilitate all thievery in Dacia. As such, one in five shares is owed to the Peccahn, and each Vora may claim a reasonable share afterward.
* '''The Chain of Respect''': Show respect to all others in the chain, but know well that the Peccahn is first amongst loyalty sworn, then the Vora, then your brothers and sisters of the night.

==The Figh in Kara==
Recently, the Figh visited [[Kara]] while on the run from [[Determiners of the Eight Winds|DEW]], having stolen an artifact they believed to be a key to a “weapon.” Three Figh members arrived before DEW, posing as typical merchants and newcomers to Kara. They integrated themselves into Kara, making friends, opening stores, and trying to gauge the Karan people’s openness to their way of thinking. A fourth member of the Figh arrived later aboard a DEW vessel, having embedded themselves with DEW to subvert their enforcer.

The members of Figh used the connections they made with the people of Kara to locate the “weapon” before DEW and get additional information and DEW movements from those same Karans. This led to a standoff between Figh and DEW, where the “face-stealer” demons were released. Then, under the threat of the Third King of [[Stone Bay]], Ulysses I Mountbatten, Figh worked with DEW and the Kingdom to fend off the demons, eventually sending them back to their plane or killing them.

After the conflict ended, The Figh, DEW, and the Kingdom of Stone Bay signed the “Command Stone Accord,” absolving DEW and The Figh of any legal repercussions in return for their help cleaning up the threat. The Accord also ensured that DEW and The Figh would not engage in any hostile actions within Karan waters, and the three parties would remain cordial and open to business. The Figh left, having found that Kara was unique in their relationship with their nobility and trust, and they left Kara with the idea that they might return for friends and business another time.

==Summary==
The Determiners of the Eight Winds is Olvunter's largest trading company, with trade routes stretching across the globe. They played a large part in Kara's entrance to the world stage and remain Kara's largest trading partner.

==Background==
The Determiners of the Eight Winds is a mega mercantile company formed by the Merchant Princes of Dormas. These princes were wealthy individuals and families who formed the loose federation government of Dormas. They use DEW to connect the world with trade and further each of their specialties to gain even more wealth and power. The Determiners have a hand on every continent and in almost every port west of [[The Adredahn]], connecting and facilitating the flow of goods and services across the seas. Positions as Merchant princes are not based on hereditary lines but instead on the merits and wealth of each individual. Within the last century, DEW has increased its interest in sovereign trade posts in the [[The Wilden Wood | Wilden Wood]] and south of [[Yariel]], forming colonies as they grew.

==The Merchant Princes==
Each of the Merchant Princes is not only the leader of their respective regions in Dormas but also controls various sectors and specializations within The Determiners. These princes exert incredible control over the wider world through a near monopoly of trade, each having their specialties and focuses that they use to set themselves apart.

'''Cheel Alarian''': Merchant Prince of the Alarian Company. Their company trades in spice, which they hold the secrets to. They have recently begun to lose power as their spices have started to be grown in other locations.

'''Illaria Desenacis''': Newest Merchant Prince. She is known for unifying the temples in the northern islands into a single organization. She is seen as untrustworthy due to her ties to the old religions and profiting from church services.

'''Honn Reggonys''': Once considered a firebrand, he has reportedly become more balanced as he ages. Honn is known as the Merchant Prince of mercenary armies, and his “immortals” have supposedly held their contract even in death.

'''Thelaris Exeder''': Known for their purchase of a great number of Dorman shipyards, Thelaris has focused much of their energy and gold on making newer, faster, and bigger ships for the fleet.

'''Allliun Qadin''': Allliun breaks the convention of the Merchant Princes in that they have no overarching specialization. Their interests are vast and cover almost every sector of the market. They are not respected for any grand skill in one area but for their dedication to growth itself.

'''Amalric Marekes''': Also known as the “Wine King,” Amalric has focused on the Dacian, Yariel, and Dorman markets. He has commissioned specialized ships to carry wine and a logistics division dedicated to its transport. He also connects with Kara through the [[The Accordant Archipelago|Archipelago]] and the Chaplin [[Sillas Deepcreek]].

==The Determiners in Kara==

===Dew in Kara’s history===
The Determiners have had a sizable hand in the history of Kara. While it was the third King of Stonebay, His Majesty Ulysses I Mountbatten, first of his name, opened the ports of Kara for trade, and the Determers of the Eight Winds added Kara to the trade maps. DEW has been the gateway for Kara for hundreds of years, being one of the only companies that can navigate through the thick fogs and storms surrounding the land.

===Trade with Kara===
DEW is Kara’s largest trade partner, being their source for many magical and mundane goods that enter Kara’s shores. The Determiners maintain a trade warehouse on the docks within the City of Stonebay. From here, DEW ships lay low in the water, heavy with goods, unloaded their imports, and loaded back up with commodities and materials only found in Kara. DEW works with local institutions like The Royal Bank of the Bay and their trade post to facilitate their import and export operations in Kara. Kara presents a unique situation for the Determiners when it comes to currency. As the world's default trade force, most places trade in DEW-minted gold coins, while Kara uses locally minted silver, meaning they have to convert and manage the flow between the two currencies.

===Recent events===
Recently, DEW became increasingly interested in some items only found in Kara. They set up a program and reactivated their trade post within Kara to export as many unique items as possible. They hired many Karans and caused a massive influx of silver into the economy.

Soon after, the export program started to wind down, and Kara was informed that a delegation from The Determiners, including the Commodore of the Accordant Archipelago, would be arriving soon. The whole affair started with a [[Determer's Gala | masquerade ball]] to introduce the representatives from DEW to Kara while hiding their true intentions for their visit, which was the recovery of a “Command Stone” stolen by a group called [[The Figh |Figh]]. A mire of intrigue, secrets, backstabbing, and backroom conversations followed, leading to [[Face Stealer Conflict | war with the face-stealer demons]]. The Determiners ultimately worked with Figh and the [[Stone Bay|Kingdom of Stonebay]] to rid Kara of the [[Face Stealers| face-stealers]] and undo the damage caused as best they could, all while sprinkling their influence into the minds of Karans. This combined effort and an act to preserve The Dermerners Of the Eight Winds' connections with Kara led to the signing of the “Command Stone Accord” between all three parties, restoring peace and trade.

==Notable Dew Figures in Kara==

'''[[Agostino|Commodore Agostino]]''': Commodore of the Acordant Archipelago division within DEW. A family man and quite gregarious. During his time in Kara, Agustino sought to spread his influence, enjoy good parties, and recover the “Command Stone” before Figh could use it. He hired his own force of guards from skilled Karans, handed out large amounts of silver to the populace, and even assisted members from the Duchy of Stendahl in locating the legendary lost forge of Hammerhand.

'''[[Eargus Glowgoarge]]'''(Deceased): Credited with putting Kara on the trade maps, Eargus was a renowned explorer sponsored and employed by the Determiners. He would explore new markets, hunt down legends to find their truth, recover any artifacts the Determiners deemed profitable, and return the others to local people. He was friendly and outgoing to many Karans, genuinely loving the people and looking for their adoration. Eargus had the most knowledge of what the “Command Stone” was for and the leads to track down to locate the “Cache” mentioned. Unfortunately, before Eargus was able to recover the “Command Stone,” he was killed at a party for him by a member of Figh who had been hiding amongst the members of DEW.

'''[[Vulmar Dorlana]]''': As an enforcer of DEW, Vulmar was seen as the most active in hunting for Figh, even if Kara didn't know that was his goal at first. He worked to track down “Pirates” and other smugglers and bandits while collecting information on potential members of Figh that were known to have made landfall in Kara before The Determiner’s arrival.

'''[[Habagat Punongpuso]]''': Habagat to Kara seemed the least involved in the “Command Stone” situation. Coming to Kara shortly after the main DEW party, Habagat sold luxury goods, mangos, and soup to Kara and bought up items from the population as long as they could sell them on it, introducing large amounts of DEW gold into Kara’s economy. With her previous “personal” connection to a member of Figh, those who spoke with Habagat would be given a unique perspective on the organization. Habagat, during the war with the “face-stealer” demons, performed a ritual to reach out to her God, one that brought many concerns to Karans. This ritual led to hints on defeating the demons and their connections to the Obelisks.

'''[[Henry Sharpe]]''': Barrister and Solicitor for the Kingdom of Stonebay. Sharpe was also the agent and legal counselor in Kara for the Determiners until issues during the war with the “face-stealers” led to his departure.

'''Nimora Bloodwell''': At the time, the Mayor of Hollow Creek, Nimora, was hired by the Determiners to be their “Procurement Officer” for Kara. Later, she was elevated to "Station Chief" for the Kara branch before the general dismissal of all Karan employees. She was also tasked with preparations for the recent visitation of DEW representatives, leading up to the war with the “face-stealers.”

'''Anders Mackay''': Hired around the same time as Nimora during the procurement campaign, Anders was tasked with the trade post’s security and setting up a DEW guard force in Kara.

Eargus had the most knowledge of what the “Command Stone” was for and the leads to track down to locate the “Cache” mentioned. Unfortunately, before Eargus was able to recover the “Command Stone,” he was killed at a party for him by a member of Figh who had been hiding amongst the members of DEW.

'''[[Vulmar Dorlana]]''': As an enforcer of DEW, Vulmar was seen as the most active in hunting for Figh, even if Kara didn't know that was his goal at first. He worked to track down “Pirates” and other smugglers and bandits while collecting information on potential members of Figh that were known to have made landfall in Kara before The Determiner’s arrival.

'''[[Habagat Punongpuso]]''': Habagat to Kara seemed the least involved in the “Command Stone” situation. Coming to Kara shortly after the main DEW party, Habagat sold luxury goods, mangos, and soup to Kara and bought up items from the population as long as you could sell her on it, introducing large amounts of DEW gold into Kara’s economy. With her previous “personal” connection to a member of Figh, those who spoke with Habagat would be given a unique perspective on the organization. Habagat, during the war with the “face-stealer” demons, performed a ritual to reach out to her God, one that brought many concerns to Karans. This ritual led to hints on defeating the demons and their connections to the Obelisks.

'''[[Henry Sharpe]]''': Barrister and Solicitor for the Kingdom of Stonebay. Sharpe was also the agent and legal counselor in Kara for the Determiners until issues during the war with the “face-stealers” led to his departure.

'''Nimora Bloodwell''': At the time, the Mayor of Hollow Creek, Nimora, was hired by the Determiners to be their “Procurement Officer” for Kara. She was also tasked with preparations for the recent visitation of DEW representatives leading up to the war with the “face-stealers.”

'''Anders Mackay''': Hired around the same time as Nimora during the procurement campaign, Anders was tasked with the trade post’s security and setting up a DEW guard force in Kara.

The Determiners of the Eight Winds is a mega mercantile company formed by the Merchant Princes of Dormas. These princes were wealthy individuals and families who formed the loose federation government of Dormas. They use DEW to connect the world with trade and further each of their specialties to gain even more wealth and power. The Determiners have a hand on every continent and in almost every port west of The Adredahn, connecting and facilitating the flow of goods and services across the seas. Positions as Merchant princes are not based on hereditary lines but instead on the merits and wealth of each individual. Within the last century, DEW has increased its interest in sovereign trade posts in the Wilden Wood and south of Yariel, forming colonies as they grew.

==The Merchant Princes==
Each of the Merchant Princes is not only the leader of their respective regions in Dormas but also controls various sectors and specializations within The Determiners. These princes exert incredible control over the wider world through a near monopoly of trade, each having their specialties and focuses that they use to set themselves apart.

'''Cheel Alarian''': Merchant Prince of the Alarian Company. Their company trades in spice, which they hold the secrets to. They have recently begun to lose power as their spices have started to be grown in other locations.

'''Illaria Desenacis''': Newest Merchant Prince. She is known for unifying the temples in the northern islands into a single organization. She is seen as untrustworthy due to her ties to the old religions and profiting from church services.

'''Honn Reggonys''': Once considered a firebrand, he has reportedly become more balanced as he ages. Honn is known as the Merchant Prince of mercenary armies, and his “immortals” have supposedly held their contract even in death.

'''Thelaris Exeder''': Known for their purchase of a great number of Dorman shipyards, Thelaris has focused much of their energy and gold on making newer, faster, and bigger ships for the fleet.

'''Allliun Qadin''': Allliun breaks the convention of the Merchant Princes in that they have no overarching specialization. Their interests are vast and cover almost every sector of the market. They are not respected for any grand skill in one area but for their dedication to growth itself.

'''Amalric Marekes''': Also known as the “Wine King,” Amalric has focused on the Dacian, Yariel, and Dorman markets. He has commissioned specialized ships to carry wine and a logistics division dedicated to its transport. He also connects with Kara through the [[The Accordant Archipelago|Archipelago]] and the Chaplin [[Sillas Deepcreek]].

The Kingdom of '''Stone Bay''' is the nation that governs all of [[Kara]]. It was founded long ago by its semi-mythical first king, [[Jephdaphro]], who led the earliest Baymen to war against the [[Drenorans]]. Stone Bay's victory secured its place as the hegemon of Kara, a title they hold to this day.

Currently, [[Ulysses Mountbatten|King Ulysses Mountbatten]] rules over Stone Bay.
== The First King, Jephdaphro I==
The people of Stone Bay were originally nomadic. Under King Jephdaphro, they valued conquest by the sea. Early Baymen travelled in fleets to conquer small city-states for their sprawling, seabound empire. Jephdaphro's reign saw Stone Bay declare war against the Drenorans for their crimes against nature. The Drenorans attempted to reach beyond mortal means by contacting the dragon [[Valynclex]], tapping into the magic of [[Realitas]], and accidentally creating the Curse.

These actions formed the basis of Stone Bay's ''casus belli'' against the Drenorans. During this time, the Drenorans forged many artifacts to defeat Stone Bay's forces. The [[Azure Blade]], in particular, was one of several weapons built to slay the wizard [[Arimaex]]. The combined effort of Stone Bay's armies, fleets, and magical powers resulted in Jephdaphro leading the Bay to victory against the Drenorans. With their last-ditch attempts at godhood failing, the Drenorans faded into history, defeated and destroyed by Stone Bay. King Jephdaphro used this victory as an opportunity to settle his people. The age of sea conquest was over. Stone Bay built its Prismarine Citadel on [[Orlan]], one of Kara's islands, and established their rule over the archipelago.

King Jephdaphro disappeared hundreds of years ago on an expedition outside of Kara. He brought with him the famed [[Prismarine Sword]] and [[Shield]]. He left Ulysses Mountbatten to rule in his stead as Regent and Lord Mayor of Stone Bay. Hundreds of years later, Jephdaphro never returned to Stone Bay. Thus, the kingdom entered its regency era.

== The Regency Era, Ulysses Mountbatten ==
In the years following Jephdaphro's disappearance, power consolidated around Lord Mayor Ulysses. The 901st year of Jephdaphro's reign saw great change in Stone Bay. The kingdom opened its ports to the rest of [[Olvunter]]. As a result, immigration to Kara skyrocketed, with over a thousand people coming and going to the islands. Hundreds of wanderers settled in Kara, adopting Baymen traditions or synthesising them with their foreign cultures. The Kingdom of Stone Bay became a melting pot of cultures, resulting in the formation of institutions like the [[Church of the Deep]] and the [[Stendahl|Duchy of Stendahl]].

This year also saw [[Arimaex]]'s betrayal of Stone Bay. The former Court Mage revealed himself as a lich, and was consorting with the dark dragon [[Valynclex]] for power and control. Conflict erupted between Arimaex and Kara as a whole. The [[Battle of the Eternum Glades]] concluded this conflict, resulting in seventeen dead Karans, the neutralisation of Valynclex, and the death of Arimaex.

Arimaex's defeat did not spell the end of conflict during the regency era. [[Dragone Collins]], a [[Nieseatian]] diplomat, was assassinated on Karan soil. This brought the ire of [[Macadier Maldore]], archmage and Archon of Nieseat, who levied threats and intimidations towards Stone Bay. Mountbatten defused the political tension by signing a non-aggression pact with Archon Macadier. For ten years, there was peace in Stone Bay.

Peace was broken in the year 911. During the [[January 7th Parliament]], Macadier Maldore interrupted the session by teleporting Ulysses Mountbatten, Lord Marshal [[Arthur Justice]], and Lord Chancellor [[Blue Mountbatten]] to the [[Ahdredan]]. Leaderless, Stone Bay was [[Occupation of Stone Bay|occupied]] by the Nieseatian leadership.
== Occupation by Nieseat ==
Nieseat's occupation of Stone Bay lasted for one month. During this time, Macadier Maldore labelled it the "Colony of Orlan", and installed the then-Nieseatian loyalist Elmes Fin as its governor. Without its key leaders, what was left of Stone Bay's government was folded into Nieseat's three powers: the [[Ordenza]], the [[Halcyon Guild]], and the [[Old Blood]]. Only the Church of the Deep, led by Synarch [[Fafnir Deepcreek]], provided hidden sanctuary to Baymen loyalists.

To counteract Nieseatian influence, powerful Baymen like [[Benjamin Lascelles]] and Rowan Umber willingly entered Nieseatian institutions. Inside these organisations, they purposefully caused delays and mishaps to buy time for the Mountbattens and the Justice to return from the Ahdredan. Their plans resulted in the deaths of key Nieseatian officials, [[Folkmod Erendellen]] and [[Drace Latimeer]], crippling Nieseat's governing capacity significantly until their revolution began. The rebellion occurred after a series of events led to the theft of the [[Lunar Crown]]. This artifact ended up in the hands of the Church of the Deep, who crowned [[Sillas Deepcreek]] as the second king of Stone Bay.
== The Second King, Sillas Deepcreek ==
Sillas Deepcreek's accession to the [[Prismarine Throne]] was a direct act of rebellion against Nieseat. Using the magic of the Throne, King Sillas retrieved Ulysses Mountbatten, Blue Mountbatten, and Arthur Justice from the Ahedredan. Deepcreek remained king for the remainder of the war but returned executive power to Lord Mayor Ulysses. Following a declaration of war by the Lord Mayor, Stone Bay led a coalition of Karan nations against the Nieseatian invaders, kickstarting the [[Nieseatian War]].

Following the [[Battle in the Battery]], Stone Bay enjoyed a brief period of peace. During a session of Prismarine Court, King Sillas voluntarily abdicated on the condition that Ulysses Mountbatten would take his place. Mountbatten accepted, acceding to the Prismarine Throne as the third King of Stone Bay.
== The Third King, Ulysses Mountbatten ==
King Ulysses' reign began in relative peace. His first act as king was to deliver various artifacts, stolen from the [[Fellrook]], to the [[Behli Lothren]] for safekeeping away from Kara. The aforementioned peace would not last long. During a session of [[Parliament of Orlan|Parliament]], the goddess [[Moder Jord]] appeared before the room. She made deliberate threats against Stendahl, specifically [[Bill Blackrock]], before leaving. Stone Bay initially remained neutral in the conflict between Stendahl and Moder Jord, but entered the fight after the goddess' forces attacked Orlan. Stone Bay would provide military assistance to Stendahl during and after the [[Fall of Dhara]], and its [[Navy]] was key to winning the subsequent [[Battle for Dhara]] at the end of [[Moder Jord's Invasion]].

Only a few months later, the terrorist group known as the [[Cirallian Liberation Front]] (CLF) began their operations in Kara. They bombed several places, including Stone Bay. With assistance from Stendahl, [[Ibrithil]], [[Meloria]], and other Karan sovereignties, the CLF was destroyed on a mission spearheaded by the Stone Bay Navy.

The [[Fey Incursion]] heavily impacted the Kingdom of Stone Bay. Various archfey, under the influence and coercion of [[ Granny Hildegard]], attempted to take root in Kara. [[Captain Dalos]], archfey of the [[Spring Court]], levelled a courthouse in Stone Bay during his [[war games]]. The [[Fantastical Surveyor]] created the [[Mayhill]] underneath [[Steward's Cross]]. Lastly, and most importantly, the [[Lord of Rot]] created the [[Wolcott]] with [[Osten Credence]]'s help just southeast of Stone Bay. After Hiildegard was defeated in her games, any interference from the Feywild in Stone Bay's endeavours was soundly halted.

King Ulysses also oversaw the [[DEW-Figh Conflict in Kara]], opting to remain neutral rather than pledge Stone Bay's support to either side. When [[face-stealers]] were released due to this conflict, Mountbatten demanded that the Determiners and the Figh to resolve the matter. Stone Bay's forces assisted in defeating the face-stealers, of which included Mountbatten, who fought on the frontlines being one of the few Karans who could singlehandedly destroy a face-stealer.

Under his reign, the Kingdom of Stone Bay extended its reach beyond its city walls with the repealment of the Sovereignty Act; sovereign nations, such as Stendahl, have been vassalised; and Stone Bay's police and military have been expanded greatly, with the establishment of the [[Royal Guard]] and the [[Legion]].

Ulysses Mountbatten is the current reigning monarch of Stone Bay, and is entering his second full year as king.
