(Fantasy) In the southern part of the Great Continent of Secessia, far beyond the Holy Realm of Torium lies the Southern Tribeland, the place of a thousand tribes. The lands are so filled with unique tribes that, for Caeloni diplomats and merchants, it is nearly impossible nor worthwhile to develop strong social bonds with the people of the land. Therefore, communication and trade between northern kingdoms and the Southern Tribeland are simply not attempted at any significant rate.
(Fantasy) The first cantar (Cantar I - Fanfare of the Son) (Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3) from the greater work of “Cantar del Primer Hijo," the poet describes the arrival and swift departure of the First Son, the long lost mythical heir to the seat of El Tor. He gathered together a group of ten volunteers which later become known as the Ten Saints and set out into the wilderness with them with a goal of reconquering the land from the monsters that rule over it.
(Fantasy) In the southwestern part of Caelon, in Warathi-controlled country, on the peninsula west of the Holy City of Denegaz known as God's Grip, there lies a coastal town named Munoz. Like many of the cities on Caelon, Munoz was built upon the foundation of a great ancient city. However, due to erosion over the centuries, much of the original city now lies in ruins underwater, lost to the unending flow of time.
(Fantasy) Bróccan the Bard, perhaps the most well-known traveling poet in the world, often used his renown to be able to approach subjects in his work that other less-known poets would have had trouble performing due to some of the taboo nature of the subject matter. However, because of his reputation and his charismatic approach to storytelling, Bróccan was often able to broach these subjects with relative impunity from would-be critics.
All across Caelon and the surrounding areas, there are myths and legends shared by the common people that have taken on a life of their own. Ranging from stories of mysterious caves to legends of people with extraordinary abilities to incredible creatures who lurk just outside the bulwarks of civilization, these myths have captivated the imagination and wonder of the people.
