Crap! I have had WAY to much D&D recently. Consider the post not only edited but washed out with soap and disinfectant.

A question: Are there fixed points of contact between Avernum, Upper Avernum, and the surface, like in the games? If so, where are they?

Crap. I just read Goldenking's post with fresh eyes, and realized that we both laid claim to the same town: Gidrik. Since GK came first (and I doubt that he'd give it up), I'll have to see if I can find some workaround.

Let's say though that the reality of the universe is that life does evolve and conglomerate to higher levels of cooperation and awareness - that this is precisely what the mysterious thing we call "life" does.

Galvin Magnus himself is an Arch-Mage, rumoured to be immortal through his vast skills as a necromancer and invoker, he often marches with the Guardians and supports them with his vast array of incredibly deadly spells, summonings and enchantments. He even has learned the arts of might and is more then capable of defending and even defeating his enemies in melee combat.

Ephesos, factional RP's are a whole different can of worms. Which you know, but I though I'd like to highlight with the others.

The year 1135 IE was a turning point for the Empire. A turning point in the sense that, before the turn, the Empire existed, and afterwards, it did not. Rebel resistance had been brewing for years, but the Empire, having vanquished all enemies it had ever faced, did not take it seriously. As it would turn out, that was a terrible, terrible mistake. On the 13th of Remembrance, 1135, the resistance struck, assassinating Emperor Hadrian IV and all Imperial Governors on the four continents. The capitals were burned, coffers ransacked, and general turmoil spread across the land. Empire soldiers were offered a choice between fighting and dying for a falling government, or fleeing and offering their services as hired swords. Most chose to run. With no standing army, a ruined infrastructure, and no organization, the remaining Empire officials were slaughtered or went into hiding.

• Empire splinter groups
  
• Local coalitions
  
• Groups of wandering soldiers, bandits, etc. that have taken over territory
  
• Religions
  
• Groups of mages or researchers
  
• Guilds, trade groups
  
• Sliths, nephils, other nonhumans (giants, troglos, goblins, giant spiders etc.)
  
• Other groupsAvailable spaces:Valorim (map) - Valorim saw the most conflict between factions out of any continent, with well-documented collapses and wars. This conflict made the rakshasi invasion that much easier, and it is still uncertain how many factions survived the turmoil.
  
• Avernum (and the rest of the caves) (map) - Avernum was largely untouched by the invasion, though it had already experienced more than enough conflict. Contact with the surface was partially disrupted by the rakshasi, and has yet to be fully re-established.
  
• Pralgad (map) - Reports from Pralgad have been few and far between, even before the invasion. The situation is largely unknown there, except that the rakshasi have been driven out.
  
• Vantanas (map) - The site of the raskashi emergence, mainland Vantanas bears the most grievous damage from the invasion. The surrounding archipelagos show similar but lesser amounts of damage. The political situation on the mainland was never truly settled after the Fall, and the rakshasi ensured that it remained just as chaotic. Several volcanoes erupted following the invasion, which some have blamed on the rakshasi as well.
  
• Aizo - After the Fall, Aizo's political landscape never fully crystallized into a set of recognizable factions. It is unknown whether these factions survived the Time of the Star, and thus some have claimed that the few remaining rakshasi have retreated to the woods of Aizo to regroup.
