This is a brief history of Alaraes, Ouran, and the Universe. It is intended to both fill you in on the suggested lore of the setting, as well as inspire with for potential campaign ideas and plot hooks. It doesn't hurt if you don't read it, or if players do. There are no spoilers here for the included adventure seeds in <a href="https://inklikeurine.com/wiki/doku.php?id=alaraes:appendices:appendix_f:adventure_seeds" class="wikilink1" title="alaraes:appendices:appendix_f:adventure_seeds" data-wiki-id="alaraes:appendices:appendix_f:adventure_seeds">Appendix F</a>

<p>
In the beginning Astrea, the mother of time, and Ouranos the father of space came into being. Together they bore a son who quickly grew jealous and resentful of his parents affections for each other. Arkon battled his father for his mothers hand but was eventually defeated by Astrea and Ouranos' combined might. However his fall did not come without a price, Arkon had mortally wounded his father, who used the last of his strength to create the material plane as a prison for Arkon.
</p>
<p>
After the chaos of the material planes creation finally settled, Astrea sought out the heart of this material plane, the focal point of Arkons' prison seals. She found this focal point in the shape of a planet orbited by three moons in a binary star system. Astrea named the planet after her lost husband calling it Ouran. It was shortly after this that she discovered that the primordial energies unleashed during her and Ouranos' battle with their son had coalesced into minor deities. She mentored these beings in the use of their powers, and before long left for parts and reasons unknown.

<div class="level2">
<p>
The names of this first pantheon are lost to time, but without Astrea to guide them these deities soon grew board and sought to create life. First they created the Senmorta, immortal but infertile demi-gods. They taught they Senmorta nearly all that they knew, saving for themselves only the knowledge of how to create life. Possessing a strength to nearly rival their creators, they were treated as favored children by the gods, and given the task of mentoring the races that would come after them. While the Senmorta numbered less than two hundred<sup><a href="#fn__1" id="fnt__1" class="fn_top">1)</a></sup> their younger siblings numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and given the the ability to reproduce. This made the Senmorta furious. Enraged that their lesser siblings were given so many more gifts, their massive numbers, their ability to create life, and their ability to wield magic as well, the Senmorta rebelled against their creators.
</p>
<p>
They rallied behind the strongest of their number, the War Queen Boadicea and pursued the destruction of the First Pantheon with fierce tenacity. Though immortal this brutal clash caused many deaths among the Senmorta, as the Pantheon knew the secret to their unmaking. Only a third<sup><a href="#fn__2" id="fnt__2" class="fn_top">2)</a></sup> of their number survived the war. Though Senmortan losses were great, the Pantheon was successfully driven to a pocket dimension from which they could not escape. This was when the true horrors began for Mortal Kind. The Senmorta set out to subjugate their brethren races in a viscous and bloody campaign. The Senmorta crushed resistance to their rule under their heel thoroughly and swiftly. The mortal races had not yet learned the secrets of magic, and had only just begun mastering iron when the war began. The only real resistance Queen Boadicea faced came from within her own ranks. Her left hand lieutenant, a trusted advisor named Aeraed, defected from the Senmortan cause taking a small band of soldiers with him<sup><a href="#fn__3" id="fnt__3" class="fn_top">3)</a></sup>. Aeraed taught the Mortal races the secrets of magic and how to harness the powers of technology. He fought at their side, helped them defend their homes, and eventually lost. Aeraed fled to parts unknown, disguising himself as a wanderer.
</p>
<p>
With the war won, Queen Boadicea began setting up the Senmorta as the new gods of Ouran. Her ambitions were cut short however, as her right hand lieutenant Valla betrayed her and instigated a coup. The coup is swift and decisive, with Valla defeating Boadicea in single combat. Valla named herself the God Queen, and set herself and the last six remaining Senmorta up as deities. Through the worship of the newly subjugated mortal races, the God Queen Valla and her remaining brothers and sisters rule the hearts and minds of the mortal races of Ouran and its moons<sup><a href="#fn__4" id="fnt__4" class="fn_top">4)</a></sup>.

Mega-corporations operate with unchecked power, interstellar trade is booming, and the gods sit idle on their thrones as the world churns beneath their notice. Wonders of magic and technology, currently undreamed of, infuse ever mundane aspect of life. Then it all falls apart. It is unknown what caused the collapse, almost all knowledge of this time was kept digitally and was lost. Some say it was the gods, bored and idle, hitting the reset button on Ouran. Some say that an interstellar war broke out and the planet narrowly escaped being <a href="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Glassed" class="urlextern" title="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Glassed" rel="ugc nofollow">glassed</a>.

It's been centuries since the collapse, but today life on Alaraes continues much as it always has. People live, laugh, love, fight, and die. People still dig through the wreckage of the old world, hoping to find the secrets of lost tech, or just a quick buck. Society today thrives on the skeleton of yesterdays. People and cities cluster around the few remaining Foundries that are still functional, clinging to the trinkets and toys of the old world in the hopes that one day it might be rebuilt. God Queen Valla sits on her deific throne, accepting worship and praise under a pseudonym.

<div class="level1">
<p>
Alaraes is intended to be a high-magic, high-technology, high-adventure setting. Below I'll try and break down what I mean by this.
</p>
</div>
<!-- EDIT{"target":"section","name":"Running the World of Alaraes","hid":"running_the_world_of_alaraes","codeblockOffset":0,"secid":1,"range":"1-176"} -->
<h2 class="sectionedit2" id="high-magic">High-Magic</h2>
<div class="level2">
<p>
Magic is around every corner in Alaraes. It is in the trees, in the ground, in the very air. I try to reflect this in my writing to the best of my ability, and you should try to do so in your game.
</p>
<p>
Magic items are abundant in Alaraes, outside of <a href="https://inklikeurine.com/wiki/doku.php?id=alaraes:chapter_4:oshear" class="wikilink1" title="alaraes:chapter_4:oshear" data-wiki-id="alaraes:chapter_4:oshear">Oshear</a>, and that is by design. However that does not mean that every shop has full stock of every magic item. Some items may not even be procurable, but thats up to you. Generally speaking: Common items are always available, uncommon are available 80% of the time, rare items are findable 60% of the time, Very Rare 40%, Legendary 20%, and Artifacts are up to GM discretion. Pricing should follow the lown end of the suggestions found in the DMG. I have done my best to include prices for every new magical item I've included in the setting while adhearing to the pricing guidlines in the DMG.
</p>
<p>
As for the rarity of those items, rarity and pricing for certain ouranite is skewed and based on lore for the most part. The abilities granted by ouranite may not necessarily reflect their rarity level. The intended healing/damage ratios are also intended to be higher in the setting, but more on that later.
</p>
</div>
<!-- EDIT{"target":"section","name":"High-Magic","hid":"high-magic","codeblockOffset":0,"secid":2,"range":"177-1381"} -->
<h2 class="sectionedit3" id="high-technology">High-Technology</h2>
<div class="level2">
<p>
New technology is not being created on Alaraes, but what is available is being used. Maybe not as intended by the “Original Manufacturer” and certanly not as well understood as it used to be, but it is present. Technology runs the full gamut of practicle, plausable, and fantastic. Foundries are black box for a reason. Cool tech is everywhere, forgotten and dormant, waiting to be rediscovered and thrown in the faces of your PC's, and in the faces of your NPC's especially. Dont be afraid of neat guns and weird science. Embrace the chaos and see how it changes the story.
</p>
<p>
I've tried to keep the tech balanced against magic items as well as I can, but theres no direct analogue to spells. This is D&D after all, and in D&D magic is king.
</p>

<!-- EDIT{"target":"section","name":"High-Technology","hid":"high-technology","codeblockOffset":0,"secid":3,"range":"1382-2153"} -->
<h2 class="sectionedit4" id="high-adventure">High-Adventure</h2>
<div class="level2">
<p>
Adventures in Alaraes can be quiet and introspective, but the setting is geared for big and loud. Traversing the continent and seeing the sights are what I find interesting when I run games, and that is certainly reflected here as well. Characters should need to travel from the Badlands of <a href="https://inklikeurine.com/wiki/doku.php?id=alaraes:chapter_4:aesh" class="wikilink1" title="alaraes:chapter_4:aesh" data-wiki-id="alaraes:chapter_4:aesh">Aesh</a> to the Dark Monastaries of <a href="https://inklikeurine.com/wiki/doku.php?id=alaraes:chapter_4:qokon" class="wikilink1" title="alaraes:chapter_4:qokon" data-wiki-id="alaraes:chapter_4:qokon">Qokon</a> and back again, fighting banditos, palace guards, and flesh hungry robots all the way. Then head back and do it all over again. Epic, high fantasy is the name of the game. Everything is larger than life, and adventure should reflect that.
</p>
<p>
Enemies should be strange and hit like trains, but go down fast. Players should have access to ridicoulous powers and massive healing pools. Encounters should be dangerous, with the illusion of deadly. In Westeros there are no good guys, and people die often and brutally. Here in Alaraes the good guys might be bad, and the the bad guys might be bad too, but the Heroes are heroes and heroes never die.

<h1 class="sectionedit1" id="the_collapse">The Collapse</h1>
<div class="level1">
<p>
“The Collapse” is the term used to describe the fall of civiliations on <a href="https://inklikeurine.com/wiki/doku.php?id=alaraes:alaraes_setting" class="wikilink1" title="alaraes:alaraes_setting" data-wiki-id="alaraes:alaraes_setting">Alaraes</a>, and likely Ouran at large. Scholars disagree on its cause and nature, and even the exact date of occurance, but are in concenseous about the fallout. Most technology was lost.
</p>
<p>
Some believe it was a war the scale of which had never been seen before. A war between race, ideology, theology, or some other even more petty reason. Some believe it was a plague that swept through the land and persisted for many generations, with societies collapse being slow and drawn out. Some believe the gods returned to the mortal realm and, finding the mortal races faith lacking, wraught destruction until they were satisfied that their lesson had been taught.
</p>
<p>
Whatever the reason, some 2,000 years ago, approximatley, The Collapse occured and much was lost. The knowledge of complex technology was destroyed along with the secrets of advanced arcane magic. People died by the millions, and everything fell apart.
</p>
<p>
Society today clings to the remnants of what remains and try to rebuild what was loft. Every so often a trove of lost knowledge is found advancing portions of society ahead by years or even decades. The occasional lost library, the bunker of some old government storehouse where schematics were kept.
