Human Territory

Anderim, Bedegar, The Broken Colonies, North Cambria

Blackthorns

^{Assassin's Guild
Defunct}
An extensive, exclusive and lethally efficient order of assassins that once operated in the shadows of any large city in Anderim. The lawlessness which followed Eondris' rule left them unnecessary, and the murder of their guild-leader served to sever the guild's last threads of coordination.

Corvesh House

^{Dragonborn Noble House}
Unusual as dragonborn lineages go, the Corvesh's were honored Knights in Anderim serving Eondris during the War of the Red Scale. Sometime during the war, the Corvesh's heirloom blade was stolen and corrupted by the magic of a vamprie queen.
After Eondris lost the War of the Red Scale, House Corvesh was all but disbanded. Few survived the war, and those who did changed their names in shame.

Circle of Titans

^{Druid Circle}
This circle lives in the Brimdale mountains, between North Cambria and Bedegar. The archdruid is a master of Saurians (dinosaurs) and teaches her students her speciality form: the Hydra.

Hellfire

^{Sorcerous Bloodline}
Aniiseis was the first of this bloodline, born sometime late in the fourth century. A wicked tiefling wielded demon-touched magic, she brought fire and ruin to her foes.
Sorcerers of this bloodline typically have strong affinities for fire magic, and may have hellish associations; tieflings are common in this bloodline.

Hundred Heads of Fortune

^{Merchant Sailor's Guild}
A dual-function mercantile and mercenary guild of sailors. Their ships make good profit sailing their own goods across the The Sea of Echoes and offering protection to allied merchant vessels.

Knights of the Red Scale

^{Dragonborn Paladin's Guild

Seekers

^{Diviner's Guild}
A guild of investigators who put value on truth and honesty to the exclusion of nearly everything else. Their members are hyper-specialized in Divination magic and are frequently kept on retainer by high-ranking, wealthy officials. Their base of operations, somewhat ironically, remains secretive.

Starblooded

These dragonborn are apt combatants but choose to rely on their wit for survival. Through the employ of spies and talented scouts, these dragonborn keep close eyes on their enemies to prevent ever needing to engage in combat.

These dragonborn are historians and paladins, wandering the sands of the Great Arena seeking ancient relics the lost dragon empire. Despite their small number, they are known for risking themselves to protect travelers against the more violent dragonflights.
