Campaigns set in the Dwendalian Empire are bound to involve elements of war and political intrigue. The empire is at war with the Kryn Dynasty, a nation

rof surface-dwelling draw which occupies Eastern Wynandir and the wastes of Xhorhas. This war allows various Dwendalian factions, such as the

hungry Cerberus Assembly, to vie for political dominance.

Clovis Concord

Westward flies the herald of the Raven Queen. It bursts through the clouds above the western mountains and emerges into a land blessed by sun. A sea of lush jungle
stretches out beneath the raven, until eventually green gives way to golden sand, and then to a boundless, sapphire sea. Ships swarm on that sea like a cloud of gnats,
engulfed by flames and the sound of cannon fire. They fight for freedom.

01 '.9The Clovis Concord is a republic of city-states lining the Menagerie Coast, the westernmost shore of Wildemount. This tropical region is rich with history
3,and known for a lively, free-spirited culture that contrasts sharply with Wildemount's other, politically narrow-minded nations.

Gods when immortals still walked the land. The Kryn safeguard a secret; if your players haven't seen any of Critical Role, revealing this secret could mark
the turning point of a campaign.
A campaign set in Xhorhas will doubtless involve the war between the Kryn Dynasty and the Dwendalian Empire, but it can also include traditional
dungeon crawls, political intrigue within the courts of the dynasty, or even wilderness exploration that could unearth secrets lost since the fall of the
Betrayer Gods.

What's in This Book?

Chapter 1 of this book introduces the big ideas you'll need to know before creating a campaign in Wildemount: its history and its gods.

Chapter 2 presents the major political players that shape daily life in Wildemount: its factions and societies. Depending on the choices made by your party

8ÿ4/@23@*0*/)ÿD4)&ÿ2/*of adventurers, these organizations might become their allies or their enemies. Some characters might begin play with a history of involvement with one

of these factions, and several backgrounds are included later on to represent this allegiance.

With a little bit of creative tweaking of the setting, you could create a Wildemount campaign where the war has been called off or never even happened!

If you want the war to be an important part of your campaign, you need to give your players a reason for their characters to care about it. The easiest way
to get buy-in from your players is to discuss out-of-character how big of a factor they want war to be in this campaign . You can even dial the importance of
the war up and down over the course of the campaign, depending on how you and your players feel over time.

Bring It On!

If you and your players find war to be dramatic and compelling, urge your players to create characters with strong ties to the conflict. For example,
patriotic (or even jingoistic) characters will always fight for king or queen and country. Likewise, greedy characters will fight for profit and glory. Once
they've given you their reasons, turn those motivations into plot points in your campaign.

In the Background
The adventurers don't have to be active combatants for the war to affect their lives. See below for a list of adventure options that touch on the
consequences of war without directly involving mass warfare.

No War, Please
If you want the war to be completely absent, simply dial the timel ine back by a year, or even just a few months. All the political tens ions between the
Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn Dynasty still exist, but now they're just simmering instead of at a full boil.

discover that the characters actually want to go on self-directed adventures without a commanding officer ordering them around, you and your players
should talk out-of-game to figure out a way to turn the campaign around.

Since D&D is primarily a game about a small group of characters going on adventures alone, it can be difficult to simulate massive battles using D&D
combat rules . Because of this, it's generally best to keep the characters away from mass battles. However, huge conflicts with thousands of combatants
are a cornerstone of epic fantasy, and your players might be disappointed if your war campaign doesn't have at least one climactic battle.

To solve this problem, you can break down your mass combat into manageable chunks. Find a significant location that the characters can either defend or
conquer with minimal reinforcements, like an overrun citadel. Then, have the major battle proceed in waves that guide the characters from one cinematic
encounter to another. You can think of these encounters like rooms in a dungeon; some rooms have multiple doors that the characters can choose from,
while others only have a single pa ssage.

For example, after capturing the ruined fortress, the characters learn that a garrison of soldiers has arrived to help hold onto the fort, and the charact0 • ,;
are needed elsewhere on the battlefield. You could present them with just a single urgent target, such as an enemy warlord, or you could offer then

options, such as three different allied battalions under attack.

If you need to depict a lot of both allied and hostile NPCs battling in the same encounter as the players, you can simplify the encounter by ignoring dice
rolls entirely and deciding when a creature dies based on your own instinct. This can work once in a while, but try to avoid doing this all the time, since
seeing you simply decide the result of combat without dice can damage the believability of your game world.

WHEN DOES THIS BOOK TAKE PLACE?

This book is set in a certain moment in the history of Wildemount, and thus setting a campaign in a different era - or even in a different decade - could make some
information in the gazetteer invalid. The present year is 835 PD ("Post-Divergence"). The history of Wildemount is described in more detail in chapter 1.

From a real-world perspective, this book is set at a certain point during the adventures of the Mighty Nein in Critical Role's second campaign . Thus, the point at which
the adventures you create using this book diverge from canon is at episode 50 of campaign 2. That's okay! Look at it another way: by creating your own Wildemount
adventures, you are boldly creating your own canon, from which all the events of Critical Role diverge into myth and rumor.

Seasons

Wildemount is a chilly continent - with the exception of the sunny, tropical Menagerie Coast - and each of the regions experiences the passing of the
seasons differently.

Western Wynandir suffers from dismal, rainy springs and bitter winters. The Menagerie Coast enjoys a long, balmy summer, but must endure a vicious,
typhoon-rich winter. The Biting North is always blanketed by snow, but temperatures drop to deadly lows in the winter, then let up for a rainy, relatively mild
summer. Finally, Eastern Wynandir enjoys level, temperate weather all year long across its lowland regions, save for the cutting winds that rip across the
plains in spring and autumn.

Holidays

The different nations of Wildemount celebrate different holidays, though some of the gods' holy days are consistent across the land . Notably, the
Dwendalian Empire has banned the worship of certain gods within its borders, and thus only celebrates the holidays of legal gods. These holy days are
listed in chapter 1 of this book, along with the gods they celebrate.

Holidays unrelated to the gods celebrated across the continent in some form include:

Zenith. Summer begins at high noon on the 26th of Unndilar and is celebrated with games, displays of magic, and black powder fireworks .

Harvest's Close. Autumn begins on the 3rd of Fessuran and is typically celebrated with feasting in rural regions and with carnivals in the cities.

Barren Eve. Winter's longest night, the 2nd of Duscar, is a day of mourning for those lost in war. Come victory or ruin in the war between the Dwendalians
and the Kryn, countless candles will be lit on the next Barren Eve.

>Mo*o*n+s)ÿ*o;fÿKE9x(a+n/dr=i-a(

Exandria has two known moons that orbit the planet. Catha, the larger and closer of the moons, is the herald of night travel and shines a bright white when
visible in the sky. Catha is considered to be intrinsically tied to Sehanine, the Moon Weaver, and is regarded by some as a creation of the Moon Weaver to
watch over the just and hide those who require obfuscation . Ruidus, the second moon of Exandria, is much smaller and farther away. With a slower
rotation around the world and dark red-brown coloring, Ruidus is often difficult to see among the stars of the night sky and nearly impossible to spot
during the day. Little is known of Ruidis, though older cultures and texts speak of it as an omen of ill tidings, or even a remnant of a Betrayer God plot left
abandoned and unrealized .

Languages

All the typical languages found in the Player's Handbook and the Monster Manual are fair game in Wildemount. While Common is used across the
continent and typically associated with human empires, it is not the language that most humans spoke in Wildemount before the rise of Dwendalian
Empire three centuries ago.

This setting has three languages unique to the human cultures of Wildemount: Zemnian, Marquesian, and Naush. A human character can learn one>
these languages instead of a skill or tool proficiency granted by their background, class, or variant racial traits. Each of these languages is describe,

below:

&ÿ9E<B%'&GHÿ%<:ÿ5:6Zemnian. This ancient language was spoken by the people of Zemniaz in the Age of Arcanum. That ancient culture has long since crumbled, but its

inflicted on Exandria . They knew that while the divine gateways were left open, the prison planes that held the banished Betrayers would remain imperfect

and temporary.

Thus, hoping to ensure that such ruin would not befall Exandria again, they left their children to fend for themselves. The Creators returned to their own
realms, dragging both Betrayer and abomination with them and sealing the pathways to the mortal realm behind them with the Divine Gate. Only in this

At this time, religious leaders throughout the Dwendalian Empire rebelled against the emperor's religious restrictions . After his coronation, Emperor
Manfried Dwendal enacted laws limiting worship and prayer to subjects concerning the power, profit, and expansion of the empire. In the year 544 PD,

6internal strife and insurgent action turned bloody when the zealous leaders of varying faiths attempted, and failed, to usurp the throne for their council. An

angered Emperor Manfried Dwendal had the rebellious priests executed-an event that came to be known as the Admonition.
The emperor spoke of abolishing all worship within his boundaries. This caused further uproar among the populace, but then Emperor Manfried's spies
discovered that the seeds of the uprising had been sown by Julous interests. Publicly exposing the plot, the emperor outlawed only select faiths that he

felt threatened civilized life. He redirected much of the people's fury by also proclaiming the Julous Dominion an enemy of the empire later that year and
declaring war on the neighboring nation.

Meanwhile, the Julous Dominion was dealing with the refusal of the outlying villages near Kamordah to accept their rule in this time of brewing hostility.
They eventually drove the independent villagers back into the Cyrios Mountains, just in time to hear the horns of war blaring from the empire to the north.
The violent conflict known as the Marrow War lasted over si xteen months and cost the lives of many soldiers and innocents on both sides of the Marrow
Valley.

The Julous Dominion lacked the unified military force of the empire. When a major military push left the capital city of Zadash occupied by the empire,
Baron lnock Julous and Baroness Tessandra Julous met with Emperor Manfried to negotiate a peace. During this meeting, the baron and baroness were
unceremoniously executed. Their bodies were displayed publicly along with the narrative that they had attempted an assassination on the emperor during
the peace talks. Disheartened and bereft of leadership, the Julous Dominion immediately came to an end, as did the war.

To prove his benevolence to the people of the newly conquered Julous Dominion, and to help avoid future uprisings, Emperor Manfried declared that all
citizens of the dominion would keep their lands and homesteads. No soldiers would stand trial or be punished for their previous allegiance. Life would
continue as it had, except for the implementation of imperial taxes, laws, and oversight across the valley under the new emperor. Outlawed religious
iconography was destroyed, crops and goods were redistributed according to the needs of the empire, and life slowly returned to normal for the Zemnian

creatures of Xhorhas. King Theoderich Dwendal's benevolent nature brokered the partnership with the Clovis Concord of the Menagerie Coast without
bloodshed and ushered in new opportunities for trade with the rest of Exandria . King Willamar Dwendal established the initial prominence of House
Truscan and granted them oversight of the Truscan Vale, to the displeasure of the other noble houses.

Other kings have come and gone, but few have made as immediate and lasting a mark as King Bertrand Dwendal. On assuming the throne in 790 PD, King
Bertrand immediately demonstrated his love of spectacle and social manipulation by instituting town criers across the empire to disseminate Crown-
approved messages. With the aid of Master lkithon Trent of the Cerberus Assembly, he captured the imagination of the masses with well-crafted tales of
his deeds, proclaimed by the criers in every town square.

Seeking to bury any dissent against the Crown, King Dwendal began to use the empire's spy network to seek out sources of unrest in the public and punish
those who sowed thoughts of rebellion . Public holidays and celebrations were given greater funding to quell the masses and distract the people from the
increase in taxation implemented across the valley. This allowed King Bertrand Dwendal to rise in popularity while also ruling with a far more ruthless and
self-serving agenda than most kings before him.

King Bertrand maintains the isolationist world view of his predecessors, even in times of need. By ignoring political alliances from distant nations,
preventing the construction of any skyship docks within the empire, and ignoring calls for aid-such as the fight against the rising threat of Vecna two
decades before-the King believes he has made the empire stronger than it's ever been.

However, the king's focus on isolationism fades as tensions with Xhorhas grow. Worry about his legacy mingles with the new and deadly threat of the Kryn
Dynasty, now emboldened and pushing into his kingdom with strange magics and dangerous warriors. He mistrusts the very Cerberus Assembly that
grants him so much influence and arcane might to combat the ever-darker world that barks at the borders of the empire. Public approval of his rule wanes
with growing economic disparity, and the whisper of Myriad power returning under his nose only heightens his paranoia.

When the Kryn orchestrated an attack on the Halls of Erudition in Zadash, the Cerberus Assembly pushed for a display of military power to rally the people
and bring unity to the national identity of the empire. The king declared war on the Kryn Dynasty and the people of Xhorhas, embroiling the region in this
new full-scale conflict, with the hope that, as history has proven, people are easier to unite against a common enemy.

sought the surface as part of their worship, and slowly began to reach out to the nearby nomads to unite under the light of the Lu xon.

As the first nation of post-Calamity Xhorhas, the Kryn Dynasty worked to expand its reach throughout the wasteland and bring unity to the ravaging

hordes. Dormant evils continued to rise from beneath the marshes and badlands of Xhorhas, spreading chaos and battling with the warriors who called

Kthe desolate valley their home. The struggle to convert the denizens of Eastern Wynandir to the light of the Lu xon continues to this day, while the agents of

LoIth seek to spite and destroy her once-chosen for their arrogance.

Meanwhile, the dragonborn have begun to reach out to Exandria's sprawling political world, wishing to exchange knowledge and trade their gold and
jewels for powerful magics to better their standing.

Draconia
After the Calamity, a shard of the destroyed dragonkin city of Kethesk came to rest within the southern Dreemoth Ravine. The surviving dragonborn took
advantage of the ravine's defensible layout to build a new city and made an alliance with the cave-dwelling, indigenous dragonborn they called rave
beginning the reformation of civilized dragonborn society.

With the ravenites as a labor force, the dragonborn harvested the massive brumestone crystals that had once held their city aloft, and the new city of
Draconia began to take shape as a series of floating islands within the heart of the chasm. Calling themselves draconbloods, they spent hundreds of years
slowly reconstructing their nation in seclusion, focusing entirely on their own enlightenment and pursuits. They eventually enslaved the ravenites to mine
the ravine's gold and gemstones, and to en sure draconblood dominance in the region, leaving their minds free to focus on internal politics and arcane
advancement.

The Chroma Conclave
In the year 815 PD, an unexpected assault on Draconia came in the form of a group of ancient chromatic dragons calling themselves the Chroma
Conclave. The mighty city of Draconia was immediately destroyed and left to crumble in the Dreemoth Ravine. A powerful white dragon called Vorugal, the
Frigid Doom, claimed the ravine as its new domain, while the rest of the dragons sought conquest elsewhere in Exandria. These events shook the nations
of Wildemount, sending the Clovis Concord and the Dwendalian Empire into a state of alert, while the Kryn Dynasty temporarily withdrew to Rosohna,
fearing another attack.

As time passed, Vorugal and the entire Chroma Conclave were slain and the danger seemed to have dissipated. With Draconia sundered, the no-longer
enslaved ravenites greatly outnumbered their previous masters; they claimed their freedom and punished the surviving draconbloods. A handful of
draconian nobles fled to the Menagerie Coast or the Dwendalian Empire to seek asylum, leaving the ravenites to rebuild Wildemount dragonborn society
on the ruins of their oppressors.

The War of the Ash and Light
In the past century, the Dwendalian Empire has clashed with the Kryn Dynasty. Small skirmishes and slain soldiers on both sides deter expansion beyond
the Ashkeeper Peaks, with each faction keeping a close eye on the other.

Recently, the empire's interest in growing Kryn influence has led to increasing curiosity about the source of the Kryn's mysterious arcane capabilities.
Dwendalian spies successfully stole two of four artifacts known as "beacons," which seemed to be powerful sources of the unique magical energy called
dunamis. The Bright Queen Leylas Kryn began an initiative steal back the beacons and assault Dwendalian strongholds until these sacred reli cs are
returned . Now, in 835 PD, the resulting skirmishes have escalated into all-out war. A fifth beacon has been recently uncovered by the Cerberus Assembly,
and the violence threatens to grow past the Ashkeeper Peaks and embroil other denizens of Wildemount in the confli ct.

Pantheon of Exandria

The Divine Gate, established during the Divergence, is a powerful barrier between the Material Plane and the divine realms. The Divine Gate sealed away
both the Betrayer Gods and the Prime Deities within their respective domains in hopes of salvaging the new age and preventing another Calamity. If the
Divine Gate were to be destroyed by the unanimous effort of the Prime Deities, all powers would be unleashed, threatening armageddon . Thus, the gods
patiently watch their creations from beyond the veil, lending what small power they can send through the gate to aid the goals of their faithful. In the
absen ce of the gods, lesser entities seek to gain power and influence, making pacts with mortals and offering their own gifts in exchange for favor,
worship, or deeds done in their name.

The following gods, patron s, and titles are recommended as the existing pantheon, but they are only a recommendation. You are welcome to alter,
supplement, or completely change the gods in your Wildemount campaign to fit your needs. The domains and pacts listed are the likely choices for clerics,
warlocks, and followers of each entity, but these are not the only options, and many other domains can be attributed to your preferred deity. Talk with your
DM about how best to dress your domain or pact choice to fit within the philosophies and commandments of your patron deity.

Prime Deities

The circle of Prime Deities includes the leaders and luminary creators that battled the Primordials and instigated the Founding, forging the mortal races of
Exandria. They represent a spectrum of light, protection, love, death, and all other facets of freedom and life in the world. While some gods may disagree

AVANDRA, THECHANGEBRINGER

Depiction. The Change Bringer is often depicted as a young woman of dark complexion and long, light brown hair that cascades to form the road left

AGÿUASLÿSFHÿOAQALdArbehind her. Most art shows her in constant motion, ever leading into the unknown.

Holy Day. Avandra's holy day, called New Dawn, takes place on the first day of the first month, when the old year gives way to the new. On the Menagerie

>7JCoast, people celebrate by having a feast on the shore at dusk to watch the sunset. They feast and discuss their hopes for the new year until the sun rises .

Commandments of Avandra
• Luck favors the bold. Your fate is your own to grasp, and to do so is to have the Change Bringer behind you.
• Change is inevitable. The righteous can ensure that such change is for the better.

Guardian of spring, beauty, and the arts, Corellon is the patron of arcane magic and the
fey. The Founding inspired them to wander the twisted lands, seeding them with the
first arcane magics and raising the most ancient of forests . It was by the Arch Heart's
hand that the first elves wandered from the Feywild, and for this reason they are
considered the Mother and Father of all elves. Those who seek art in all their work,
whether magical or mundane, often worship at the altar of Corel Ion. They loathe the
Spider Queen and her priestesses for leading the draw astray.

Corellon watches the business of mortals and gods from within the palace of
Crescent Grove in the beautiful realm of Arborea, surrounded by towering white trees
and pillars of marble.

woman with a welcoming, matronly smile, swathed in billowing robes and scarves that
fan into books and scrolls. Some colloquially refer to loun as the Knowing Mistress,
revering her as a headmistress of knowledge among the gods.

JOUN, THE KNOWING MENTOR

Holy Day. loun has no public holy day, for her public worship was shattered during the Calamity, and she has since fallen into half-remembered myth. Only
in the monasteries of the Cobalt Soul has the Knowing Mentor's faith been resurrected-though her worship by the intellectuals of the city bears little
resemblance to that of the knowledge-seekers of old.

Commandments of loun
• Unmask those who would destroy loun. Learn their secrets and unveil them to the world.
• Uphold and teach the importance of reason, perception, and truth in guiding one's emotions and path.
• Condemn those who lie without moral cause, for evil folk gain power when their followers obscure the truth. Never stoop to the level of selfish liars.

Kord, the Storm Lord

The realm of Melara extends to wherever the seas shift and the land grows wild. As
the keeper of the wilderness, Melara represents the wild creatures of nature, the rush
of the angry rapids, and the heat-heavy stillness of the desert. Elves worship her, as do
hunters, accepting her guidance to exist harmoniously within savage lands. Those
seeking safe passage across dangerous waters pray to her to guide them.

Followers of the Raven Queen also show respect to the Wild Mother as the caretaker
of what remains when the Matron of Death's work is done. Those of Ki 'Nau descent
often make offerings to Melara, considering her a collective entity that represents their
ancient nature gods within a singular feminine form. Druids of Melara the Wild Mother
and clerics of her lover, Erathis the Law Bearer, work together to preserve the balance
of nature and civilization. However, worship of Melara was outlawed in the Dwendalian
Empire, causing disagreement between clerics of Erathis within Western Wynandir,
where many blame poor weather and natural disasters on the ire of their deity's
partner.

Moradin is worshiped by smiths, artisans, and miners alike, granting inspiration in exchange for
respect and prayer. He shaped the mountains from the chaos of the Founding, and stands as the
patron protector of home and family. The devotion to the All-Hammer is strongest in dwarven
communities, and many temples to Moradin mark the center of a mighty dwarven stronghold.
Moradin lords over the soul forges within the massive tunneled mansion of Erackinor, deep beneath
the slopes of Solania on the plane of Celestia.
Depiction. Many guild halls and workshops contain images of Moradin, a faceless, stout dwarven
being of immense strength, hunched over a flaming heart clasped within his massive hands.

Holy Day. Moradin's holy day is Deep Solace, which is celebrated on the eighteenth day of the fifth
month. Especially devout followers of the All-Hammer spend the day in isolation, meditating on the
meaning of family and how they may be better mothers, fathers, siblings, and children. The dwarven
community in Grimgolir celebrates with a full day of feasting and drinking.

PELOR, THE DAWN FATHER
Holy Day. Pelor's holy day is called Highsummer, and takes place on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. While other parts of Exandria feast, the
Dwendalian Empire uses this day as an opportunity to enlist more soldiers in its army. The military holds great feasts and hands out toy soldiers and other
propaganda, encouraging people to enlist and help fight against the evil that threatens the king.
Commandments of Pelor
• Be ever vigilant for evil. People are quick to forget the lessons of the past.
• Help relieve the suffering of the innocent.
• Deliver the light of Pelor where darkness dwells, with kindness, compassion, and mercy.

Raei, the Everlight

The Raven Queen, Matron of Death

<MÿyJ<<MÿFAÿNB<ÿI>Dÿ>RÿD<ENBTÿH<?ÿIE{<Master of the skein of fate and the mistress of winter, the Raven Queen is the god of death. Her gaze

follows and marks the end of each mortal life, watching over the border between life and death and
ensuring the natural transition is undefiled. Many funerals ask her blessing to protect the deceased from
the terrible curse of undeath. Those who study ancient lore believe that the Matron of Death was once
mortal herself and is the only known mortal to have ascended to godhood. Her rise instantly obliterated
the previous, now-forgotten god of death, and the other gods quickly and fearfully destroyed the secrets to
the rites of ascension.

The Raven Queen tugs at the threads of fate from her stronghold of black ice within the frozen realm of
Letherna, nestled in a frigid corner of the Shadowfell.

Depiction. Few existing visual depictions of the Raven Queen exist; many temples merely use the raven as
a symbol of her blessing. The few illustrations of her portray a tall, pale woman wrapped in dangling black

Sehanine is found among the verdant tangles of the realm of Arborea, watching over the elven
courts, or wandering among the colorful fields of the Feywild .

Depiction. The Moon Weaver's depictions are as numerous as the myths and stories of her
meddling with the unions of mortals. She is most often painted as a young girl with light-blue skin
and white hair, her body and limbs merely wavy silk strands of silver moonlight that caress and
create the edges of the shadows around her.

• Repay cruelty done unto you with further evil. If others show you kindness, exploit it.

ÿT?B\b• As you ascend to power, do not pity or show mercy to those you climb over to get there. Compassion is for the weak.

Bane, the Strife Emperor

Blood-drenched armies of brutal warriors oft crus h their foes in the name of Bane, the evil patron of war and
conquest. To serve his will is to accept the call to conflict, seeking lesser people to break and subjugate.
Warmongering nations and goblinoid tribes worship the Strife Emperor as they strike out at the world to bend it
beneath them . Bane twists all living things to his iron will, forcing even nature itself to bow to his whims.

Bane plots his conquest of the planes from within the bastion of Banehold, towering among the blood-soaked
battlefields of Acheron .

Depiction. Bane is often depicted as a brutish, ogre-like man clad from head to toe in jagged black armor. Heads
dangle from his belt, and the shadows that obscure his helmeted face do not hide his yellow eyes.

Enemies. The Strife Emperor's greatest enemy is Melara, who defeated him at Rifenmist during the Calamity. The
Strife Emperor grew his armies by corrupting noble creatures into monsters and destroying the wilds to fuel his
terrible engines of conflict, and the two deities clashed many times during the war before his defeat at Beynsfal
Plateau .

Commandments of Bane
• Fear is your ally. Conquer your fear and inspire it in your foes .
• Disorder and rebellion are to be punished severely.
• Combat is the greatest gift, and perfecting your skills to master it is the greatest pursuit.

dreams the infinite depths of the Abyss into reality, along with all its demonic legions.
The Prime Deities had thought it locked away during the Founding until it nearly
returned to ruin the world during the conflicts of the Calamity.

Now, its chaotic mind has fallen into more frightful dreams, imagining nightmarish
aberrations into existence deep beneath Exandria . The Chained Oblivion's demented
cultists work without word from their twisted patron, awaiting the Epoch of Ends, when
its freedom will be attained and all beings shall be consumed in deathlessness
unending.

Enemies. The Scaled Tyrant's hatred for Bahamut is as old as the Founding, and her cults are ever hunted
by his justice. For centuries, the zealous paladins of Bahamut have limited her worship to the chromatic
dragons, but a rise in cult activity in the underbelly of Dwendalian society has priests of the Platinum
Dragon on edge.

TOROG, THECRAWLINGKING

Enemies. Pelor and Raei defeated Torog during the Calamity by luring their nemesis above ground. Pelor pierced Torog's tenebrous body with ten
thousand lances of sunlight, and the Everlight imprisoned him beyond the boundaries of Exandria. The tears of pain and anger the Crawling King shed
burned through Exandria, and his faithful fled into these tunnels to escape their enemies' holy light.
Commandments of Torog
• Seek and exalt places where no light touches.
• Revel in the pain you inflict on others, and relish the pain you suffer yourself as an offering to Torog.
• Imprison those who cannot resist you, and drag all life into the darkness.

Vecna, the Whispered One

The Bloody End. This adamantine morningstar bears the boon of Bane, and has yet to be found after the Calamity. It has the power to subjugate the

wielder's enemies. The life force of a pit fiend named lzeelzee was used to forge the weapon .

Will of the Talon. This war pick bears the mark of Tiamat and makes the wielder impervious to the elements and grants them the power of dragon breath.
The life force of an bone devil named Ashtyrlon was used to forge the weapon.

Ceratos

A being that slipped from the Far Realm into Exandria before the Founding, Ceratos is one of the oldest creatures in the world. A single creature of many
minds, Ceratos reveled in chaos. When the Elemental Chaos was divided into four planes, Ceratos retreated underground, their minds unraveling as they
entered a nightmarish slumber.

The digging of the Crawling King woke Ceratos a long time after. Though their minds were scattered, each desired the return of chaos to unite themselves.
So Ceratos sent thoughts to the surface, offering magic to those who could create chaos in the land above, so that they might one day regain their full
power. Ceratos tells their followers that chaos brings clarity and destruction begets rebirth.

Appearance. Ceratos is thought to be a massive skinless sphere of flesh covered in mismatched eyes, mouths, and tentacles. They can project their
minds' thoughts into other creatures, especially those who desire to bring chaos to the world.

Appearance. Naviask retains his balor shape, but his demonic profile is softened by a verdant hue, and the flowers and vines that adorn his body. The
former demon's inner fire has been replaced with sunlight, and he wields a whip made of pure radiance.

The mystery of whether Quajath is a creation or the direct progeny of Torog is unknown, but the deranged, gargantuan worm creature that scouted the
Crawling King's advances in the Calamity was thought to have been slain in the ferocious final battles. Leaving a sizable portion of its wounded body
behind, a slimy fragment of Quajath burrowed deep beneath the surface and slumbered in the cold earth beneath Eiselcross to recover and regrow. When
the Undermaw attempted to rise once more, the elemental ice of Eiselcross proved too strong, and Quajath remains entombed within the frozen north to
this day.

Some of the wildfolk of Eiselcross have discovered an exposed segment of the Tomb of the Worm, and after generations of feeding on its eternally
regrowing flesh, the will of the Undermaw has suffused their minds. Some of these wormkin now wander the world as vessels of Quajath's primal drive

and alien mind, helping him psychically reach those whose shattered minds can find purpose in following Quajath, taking its gifts of raw magic and
fractured secrets. They seek to one day return and free it from its icy prison.

Appearance. Quajath's recovered body resembles a monstrous, muscular worm of folded, bulbous skin covered in tooth-like scales. Its jagged mouth is
surrounded by a ring of pointed teeth, with a thrice-forked tongue bearing its three ivory eyes.

87Rumored to be the oldest hag and progenitor of all other hags in Exandria, the Hag Mother arrived in the world just after the Founding. She has a soft spot

for humanoids in peril that caused her original coven to exile and bind her to Exandria with a magical curse. She wanders the land, making deals with
people in dire straits, offering the power to save themselves in return for their service. The tasks the Hag Mother asks of those who accept her deals are

6-always dangerous and sometimes grotesque and cruel. Some of these quests save lives, while others end them. Others still result in the creation of more
6hags. Many of the missions seem to serve no purpose, but the Hag Mother always has a plan. Whether her endgame is to destroy her enemies, break her

ORIGINS OF THE LUXON

According to the teachings of the Kryn and the Umavi who scribe their faith, it is believed that long before the gods of Exandria came to shape this world, there was a
time when a sing le Light came from the dark nothingness. Other lights came into being around them, settling as the stars in the cosmos . This one Light, however,
resisted the force that beckoned them to burn like their star-fated brethren . This one Light wanted to understand what they were and chose to wander alone, choosing
a different path . This choice led to endless stretches of lonely dark, the voices of the stars silent to the Light that walked away. Lonely, they wandered until they found
a cold, dark rock: a world . The Light grew fond of this rock, seeing it as lonely as they were, and embraced it. They sparked a fire within, cracking the surface and giving
fiery life to the cold world.

From within the fiery core, the Light began to watch the world change and turn, the chaos giving birth to the first souls : the Primordials. Amazed with their children, the
Light wanted to guide them to learn of themselves, which in turn would help the Light discover their own purpose-but the children warred amongst themselves and
killed one another, their souls born of the Light becoming lost to the dark beyond . Confused but determined, the Light decided that a time of learning was required, and
that a cycle of trial and error must be enacted for their children of chaos to better themselves. Sacrificing a majority of their own essence, the Light created beacons of
their own self, crystals of great power that enacted a cycle of rebirth for those who were bound to the Light.

This act exhausted the Light, and they fell into a deep slumber within the core of the world, awaiting a time where the children of their own mind would learn from life
to life, through eons of struggle and self-reflection, until the knowledge had matured enough to reassemble them, awaken them, and the children could grant the
answer to the question the Light had sought from the very beginning : what are they and what was their purpose? This Light is now referred to by the mortal followers
of the Kryn as the Luxon.

The Traveler

This powerful archfey of selfish and anarchic intent, who was once known by the name Artagan, drew the ire of Corellon a millennium ago when his pr:ank-
like dabblings on the Material Plane left an entire nascent elven culture worshipping a whale carcass. Banished to the Feywild and barred from the

realm, Artagan wandered his home plane for hundreds of years, sowing chaos for his own enjoyment-until he struck a deal with the heroes of Vox
Machina that enabled him to return to the Material Plane. There, he embarked on his latest plot of dubious divinity under a new identity: the Traveler.

Eccentric, fickle, and prone to whimsy and impulse, the Traveler wanders Exandria, seeking allies and followers who entertain him. Lending his powerful
fey magics in the guise of divine boons and weaving a spreading myth surrounding his secretive purpose, the Traveler appears when least expected and
leaves when least preferred. Those who hear of his tenets are prone to disbelief, but the occasional "miracle" serves to reinforce his influence. Does he
wish to become a new god, or is this all still just a game?

1EAppearance. The Traveler is often depicted as a tall elf man hidden within a billowing green cloak, the hood obscuring his face except for his knowing grin.

wounded . The solar Xalicas, the right hand of the Arch Heart, was so injured that even the magic of the gods cannot help the angel regain the ability to
see, fly, or leave Exandria . For over a century, Xalicas lay broken and blinded in the Greying Wildlands, moss and plants covering her body, until she had the
strength to move, blaming herself for the small part she played in the Calamity.

Now Xalicas wanders Wildemount to make up for the sins of the Calamity and prevent another devastating war. Her followers attempt to heal war-scarred
lands and repair the natural world. Xalicas knows that alone and in her injured state she cannot stop all the evils in the world, so the angel lends her power
to those she finds worthy: creatures who wish to stop unnecessary war, stand up to tyranny, and defend the innocent.

Appearance. Xalicas is a silver-skinned solar who wears a clean white bandage around her eyes. Her body is covered in scars, and one of her wings is
blackened and burned .

Factions and Societies

INSPIRED BY THE LIGHT OF THE LUXON, THE BRIGHT QUEEN AND HER COURT CHART THE DESTINY OF A CONTINENT

Queens, kings, emperors, nobles ... beneath the rhetoric, it's all the same. They say they fight to protect your fam ilies. They say they fight to enforce your beliefs, your
honor. Fight for a better tomorrow. Fight for virtue, for prosperity. Bottom line, it's all about fighting, and it's you that dies fighting for their cause.

-Unknown soldier,
Collected Tales of the Marrow War

From the ashes of a land devastated by the Calamity grew the civilizations of a new age. The survivors claimed land across the continent, forged
alliances, and made enemies as they fought for power and in fluence. Wildemount is shaped by the ideals and interests of its factions, from powerfu l
governments to covert societies. This war-torn continent is a fertile landscape for adventurers on a quest for greatness.

Dwendalian Empire

The Dwendalian Empire has reigned over Western Wynandlr for over twelve generations. Imperial ru le is maintained through Its powerful ml litary, its pollcy
of religious restriction, and the support of the secretive Cerberus Assembly. Though these institutions nominal ly exist to ensure the safety of the populace
from foreign threats, terrible dangers that wander the w ilds, and lingering evils that seep from the scars o f the Calamity, they also allow the empire to
maintain strict social order within its territories.
King Bertrand Dwendal is now two months past his sixty-eighth birthday, and his iron will has not wavered with age. A tall, powerful man, King Dwendal
rewards loyalty and swiftly punishes insolence and fai lure. His fam ily has developed a total itarian rule that reaps heavy taxes and looms over society with
a military presence that only grows stronger with proximity to the capita l city of Rexxentrum. While civic unrest does rise beyond mere mutterings from
time to time, reminders of the dangerous creatures that live beyond the guarded borders of each city and the protections offered within the empire
generally keep the popu lace in line. Those that rebel often find themselves in cha ins or forgotten in a dungeon.
Dwendalian society has a rigid caste system, in which denizens who have mastery over the arcane are considered elite members of society. Many
Dwendalian ladies and lords came from a sorcerous bloodline or studied the arcane arts within the walls of the Soltryce Academy. Those who especially

DWENDALIAN EMPIRE CREST

Goals

The empire uses the plentiful resources of the Marrow Val ley and sizable tithes gathered from citizens ·to protect their people and maintain control over
Western Wynandir, while keeping a keen eye out for opportunities to expand their influence across the continent.

The empire's religious proscriptions are proving more and more difficult to enforce in this time of conflict. Theolocrat Kon Bruda is helming a new directive
to align religious texts with less oppressive terminology, in an attempt to redirect discontent away from the Crown and onto the heretics beyond the
borders .

Now that tensions with Xhorhas have erupted into all-out war with the Kryn Dynasty, the Crown is spreading propaganda through all aspects of daily life to

confines of Western Wynandir is welcomed. However, dissidents have begun to speak loudly of their discontent, and the growing trend of uproar is making
King Dwendal quite irritable.

Landlocked and reliant on the trade avenues of the Menagerie Coast, the Dwendalian Empire maintains a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship
with the Clovis Concord. Agents of both nations watch the borders, and an occasional political gesture of good faith satisfies those in power. Still, the

Kryn Dynasty

The Kryn Dynasty rules the northern wastes of Xhorhas, and has only revealed itself to the wider world with in the past century. Centered around - and
under - the ruins of Ghor Dranas in Eastern Wynandir, the dynasty governs many townships and small villages where the Kryn have helped establish a
modicum of civilized living among the nomadic wastefolk. They believe that beings not yet beyond redemption can be turned to the light of the Luxon, and
often struggle with the unruly denizens of the wastes, hoping to gain converts to their cause and fa ith. Those that do accept the dynasty often do so
because they seek protection from the dregs of the Calamity that wander the wastes, as well as the scouts of the Dwendalian Empire.

Dark elves are the most populous race within the Kryn Dynasty. The drow were the first people to uncover the first buried Luxon beacon many ages aao, in
a time before they turned from Leith and escaped enslavement from the Betrayer Gods. The dark elves claimed the dread citadel of Ghor Dranas a

own, as well as the massive network of underground caverns that make up the Underdark of Wildemount. The Kryn are stealthily becoming a force to be
reckoned with.

The Kryn Dynasty has uncovered four beacons and is certaln that more remain to be discovered. It is believed that once all the beacons are brought
together, the Luxon will be summoned from their slumber to ask their chfldren the great question and impart the truth. It is said that at this time, the Luxon
will take those who entered the consecution and abandon this lesser world to start a new world elsewhere.

The Aurora Watch legionnaires of the Kryn currently number around 21 ,600 in total. Arouhd 13,200 Aurora Watch are divided among the cities under the
dynasty's protection, with another 3,300 Aurora Watch stationed in and around the capital of Rosohna - formerly known as Ghor Dranas - to keep the
peace and defend the region. Approximately 5,100 soldiers are scattered throughout the Underdark beneath Wildemount at different locations of interest,
many employing magically controlled purple worms to allow elite units to navigate the caverns quickly. The remainder of the watch is stationed along the
border of Western Wynandir to prevent the empire's incursions - and to seize land from the empire as they advance.

The primary objective of the Kryn Dynasty Is to seek out and recover the Luxon beacons presumed to be scattered across Exandria. Not only does each
beacon bring them closer to the eventua l rebirth of the Luxon, they also help broaden the boundaries of the Kryn society as a new center of the
consecution, allowing expansion into new lands and the continued conversion of others. With two of their four beacons now missing, the Bright Queen
and her people are desperate to discover more of these sacred artifacts.

The Bright Queen and her fellow Umavi see the strength dormant in the roving beastfolk and goblinoids of Xhorhas, and have taken to teaching these

Taskhand Verin Thelyss
Lawful good, male dark elf

An acclaimed soldier and talented leader, Verin Thelyss is the younger brother of Essek and the youngest soul of Den Thelyss. Verin lacks his older
brother's ambition but possesses a keen sense of justice and honor. Recently given command of Kryn forces in Bazzoxan, Verin hopes to bring about a
victory for the dynasty that will grant him respect and acceptance from his accomplished family.
