Ephalon - Triumvirate
Chapter 1 - Desperation
Beyond the five base species
Pisidians
To the west of Mount Arramore is a place known as Queen's Garden an exotic mushroom filled landscape which looks nothing like any other place on Erafar. This alien world is inhabited by the Pisidians, a race of anthropomorphic dragonflies. I was forced to make these insectoids bow down to me in servitude; however, I rarely call upon their help or intervene in their day to day lives.
This situation came about after the rupture of Mount Arramore. The insect Queen, Sacerus Voluctris, flew up the mountain to investigate what had transpired. It was then that I encountered her and told her to bow down to me. Surprisingly, she denied my claim, and we fought. She was a formidable opponent but my white fire breath won out, and she yielded pledging allegiance to me. Ever since that day, they have been in my service.
They are a proud people who don't mess around and get straight to the point, at least that was the impression that their Queen imparted, I cannot speak for the masses of course.
​
The insects possess four wings and four arms, allowing for both fast flight and impressive hand to hand combat skills. Their exoskeletons are extremely durable making them a tough fight if you ever got into a scrap with one.
Armoridians
To the east of Mount Arramore is a place known as Kingsfield a beautiful open area filled with nothing but sprawling fields. Not a unique location at first glance that is until you look at what lies beneath. There's a cave entrance in that region which leads down into the city of Moridia, home of the Armoridians.
Armoridians are a rock-lizard species who feed off the soft stones that form beneath the lands of Kingsfield. Rock shards cover their backs whilst their underbellies are enveloped with scales. Strangely they do not have an apparent leader figure and effortlessly seem to work in harmony with each other. I found a few of them up on the surface one day, and within minutes they considered me their deity. Ever since that day, I have acted as their leader, and in return, they have brought supplies up to Mount Arramore.
Almost all of them speak something called Eclasion, supposedly a language they share with the Pisidians. It consists of a series of clicking and grunting noises. I can't understand it, so I've instructed Corphelax to teach them Common. I don't have much hope for it succeeding, but they are highly loyal regardless, so I cannot fault them.
The unknown of Erafar
Erafar is vast, even I have not toured every corner of it, in fact, I have not visited many of the more exotic places. This continent holds many secrets among which are never before seen species. If one were to look deep within the Black-ice Mountains, swim far below the surface of the Areanas sea, travel the to the edge of the Alluvian mountains, I can assure you, that you will find beings none have ever seen.
The lands go deep, and the skies go high, who's to say what creatures live in does areas. There's also the simple fact that many species can crossbreed, this will undoubtedly lead to some fascinating new variants over the coming years.
​
Erafar holds many secrets, some of which are perhaps best left dead and buried for the remainder of time.
The other continents
To the far north of Erafar beyond the blue ocean lies the continent of Aodia. To the southeast lies Orythorn, to the southwest lies Enterra and westward beyond that lies Arack. Finally, to the far-far south lies Numen-Nier. I know very little about most of these places, even though it is true that the most significant historical events have taken place on the Erafar continent. This fact is also the main reason why I was established here. Ephalon encompasses far more than just this region alone; therefore it is quite logical to assert that the world must be filled with many exciting and unique creatures. There are certain creatures that are bound by the governing elements, making them powerful whilst also magnificent to behold.
​
I wonder, I was told a gripping tale by Corphelax some months ago. It pertained to the waters that lie between Enterra and Arack. The ocean there is so deep, that even the tallest mountain does not compare. I cannot imagine what possible creatures may lurk in its deep dark depths.
