Marthasya

If there is solid ground beneath your feet, then you tread on Marthasya's domain. From mountains, hills, and caves to stone, dirt, and sand; all are part of a vast, ancient, scarred battlefield. Marthasya's magnificent landscapes were the bulwark that sprung up in opposition to the unrelenting forces of Gulungin during the Fundamental Reckoning. The conflict resulted in the three known major continents of Antorok, Galdarra, and Ykryona. These huge landmasses embraced refugees from the maelstrom that was the early Drink. In Marthasya's bosom, all surface dwelling civilizations were nurtured.

WORSHIPPERS

Those that dwell underground, constantly surrounded by layers of dirt and rock, know that their shelter is provided for by the grace of Marthasya. They are born of the dirt and dust and in death they are returned to the dirt and dust. Dwarven mountainhomes are not scant with decorations of Marthasyan symbolism. Orcish valley tribes engrave Marthasya's mark in the low stone walls that flank their roads.

SACRED SITES

Mount Gamsevain is the tallest peak in the Burwakis, a mountain range in northern Galdarra. It is home to a covenant of druids who tend to the Heart of Marthasya deep below the mountain. The Gamesvain Monastery resides about 1000 feet downhill from the summit and houses an order of elementalist monks known as the Peakees.

RESOURCES

Precious minerals were buried underground by Marthasya in an attempt to coax the superstitious proto-lifeforms into her caves. Some magical artifacts have been created or discovered over the years that wield Marthasya's terrifying power to shake the ground or to raise towering peaks from the ground.
