Miasel
The State of Miasel
The State of Miasel was formed during the Second Age with the birth of the race of the Sarcanta from the first dragons. It is a country run by a race that functions as a Hive-Mind, secluded and oblivious to the troubles of the rest of the world, occupied only by the mining of gold and the harvesting of valuable minerals to enforce their state and increase the power of their army.Campaigning in Miasel
Miasel is a natural maze. It is a huge, remote island filled with mines, jungles, and the dangers of the wild. It is controlled by Sarcanta who control the mines and own slave settlements of mixed species to work in them. Miasel can be extremely hot in the summer and cold in the winter and its wilderness is filled with creatures related to dragons.The People of Miasel
The native people of Miasel are the Sarcanta. Some Shanah minorities have survived the Second Age but most of them were slaughtered by the Dragons and the Sarcanta. The Sarcanta of Miasel operate as a Hive-Mind. They labor daily to pile gold for their dragon king or queen that hibernates during the summer and awakes in the winter. Gold makes dragons powerful and the Sarcanta crave power and firm leadership. Foreigners, adventurers, and treasure hunters who often visit the island are kept captive and made slaves if not killed immediately.Inner & Outer Conflicts
Miasel faces various conflicts both internally and externally. The slave settlements revolt often and the Miasarim masters are forced to tend the mines and restore order by force, while more and more adventures arrive in the isle to claim the gold of the dragons, whose reputation has become legendary. The Sarcanta of Miasel obey blindly to the will of their dragon leader, and so, their line of action is always unpredictable.The Dangers of Miasel
Miasel is an extremely dangerous place in every aspect. The nature of the isle is filled with poisonous and even carnivore plants, monster warrens, and of course horrors that lurk in the many deep mines of the area. The Sarcanta roam the wilderness and of course, pirates and marauders who wish to claim the riches of the island can be found anywhere in the jungle.Miasarim Customs
- Miasel is controlled by an army of Sarcanta. It is a military state that functions as a Hive-Mind.
- Gold is harvested from mines and piled in dragon caves to enhance the power of dragons.
- Certain aspects of the Miasarim culture, such as their native language, were inherited from the Shanah who lived in the isle before the Sarcanta.
- The Miasarim imprison anyone who enters Miasel and make them slaves in the mines.
- The Miasarim follow the will of a dragon leader. However, dragons hibernate during the warm months and so the Sarcanta work tirelessly to prepare the ground for the great awakening of their leader.
- A tiny fraction of non-Sarcanta Miasarim exist. They are called “Dragonbound” and are usually emissaries that travel to other kingdoms on behalf of the Sarcanta.
