Patrons of Orm- Clavis, Duke of Far Anterra

-

 


It has taken a year, but news of the wonders brought up from the underworld known to the adventurers in Orm as 'The Complex' have reached across the Cerulean Sea to the courts of the Holy-Empire-That-Is. Some speculate that it was through missives home by the now-deceased Sir Rolf Van Pattyn. Regardless of the rumors origins, they caught the interest of the Order of the Curopalate.

In the months that the adventuring population of Orm have scattered themselves to the wind around Ur-Dun, a plenipotentiary from the Order has arrived in the City-State and have set up in one of the ruins closest to the settlement-proper. The visitor is reportedly Clavis, Duke of Far Anterra. The Duke, like all in his order, is a devotee to the Seven Archons of Law. He is interested in any relics related to the Church of Law or its Archons as well as exotic arms and items pertaining to the study of the heavenly bodies above.

The bard Fancy Jean-Yves Beauvollier has gained the notice of Clavis with the sale of the seven black wood chairs from the Tomb of the Third Warden. Fancy is now able to sell items of interest to the Duke of Far Anterra without the use of a downtime activity.

Adventuring in the Twilight Age

Welcome to the Twilight Age Ever since the Empire-That-Was receded, no human endeavor under the fading red sun has reached its heights. Some say humankind no longer possesses the know-how to reach such grandeur. Others claim that confronting daily a sun that could fail them at any moment has filled folks with a spirit of defeat. Regardless of the reasons, it is in the face of such apocalyptic ennui that we find the peoples of Ur-Dun. Just south of the fallen Imperial capital city, this series of towns have become petty city-states just as embroiled in squabbles as they are in desperate dependencies fundamental to their survival. These human-led settlements are not the only civilized peoples in Ur-Dun. The mortal regents possess delicate treaties with distant Elfin Courts. The Gloaming Hills below the Slumbering Mountains are populate with small pastoral settlements of the hill dwarf (re: gnome) descendants of the folk that built the Imperial-era structures that litter the r

Downtime Activity- Find the Right Buyer

-

  Dungeons are packed with treasure. After all, isn't that why adventurers decide to plumb their depths? While treasure finds of items that spend easily like coins of precious metals, gems, and jewelry often make up the winnings of successful adventuring expeditions; they are not the only items of value a party will haul back to the surface world.  Eager to make the most out of a group's expeditions, they often grab anything that looks like one could turn over for a quick coin or two. To turn such items into gold, though, adventurers have to locate an interested party to sell these art objects, non-magical tomes, trade goods, and other valuable dungeon oddities. Below is a new downtime system for locating buyers for dungeon treasures not inherently valuable like coins or gems or easily pawned off due to being made of inherently high-value items (like jewelry, items made of precious metals, etc.). The activity is based on some of the other downtime systems designed by Ben L. we

Downtime in the Twilight Age

Outside of sessions at the table, time in the Twilight Age moves at a pace that matches our own. So one week passed in our world = one week passed in the Twilight age. This, combined with the proscription of ending each play session outside of danger, will mean players will find their characters with time to kill back in Orm between adventures at the table. What Is There Even To Do In Orm? Below is a list of downtime activities players can pursue between sessions. Most take one week to perform and those that don't will say in their rules (like magical research). Details for each activity are linked into the action title below. They are: Building an Institution - Form a gang! Build a theater troupe! Invest in a bar! To develop these and other similar enterprises, describe how you are going to develop the institution (often involving the spending of gp) and roll 2d6 for your level of success. Carousing -  See below for rules for partying it up between adventures. Carou
