1Blood & Magic - Episode 3 [Tartyron Unbound]
Mission 1 [Realm of Tides]
Blue (Circle of Order)
The Realm Of Tides was an island country in the Great Sea, off the coast of the Utter East of southeast Faerûn.
Sometimes described as a land of floating islands, the Realm of Tides was a close archipelago of small islands, mostly sandy desert islands with the occasional stony outcrop. These were linked by long and winding piers, built from wooden planks on piles sunk into the beaches and seabed. The islands held palm trees and large grass huts, while large fortifications like keeps were built on the rocky islands.
Tartyron Unbound
Tartyron Unbound was the story of a conflict fought in the Realm of Fire, Realm of Lands, and Realm of Tides in the Utter East during the time of the Bloodforge Wars (648–657 DR), waged between Tartyron, the Lord of Chaos, and the members of the Circle of Order that ruled those realms: the Lord of Flame, the Lord of Lands, and Lady of Tides. Notably, it was fought using basal golems mass-produced by bloodforges.
In ancient times, the lords of the Circle of Order arose to govern the early nations of the Utter East. They believed in the progress of order and were righteous defenders of order within their realms. However, one among them engaged in chaotic plots in the belief that chaos brought challenge, change, and strength, and so was exiled and cast down, bound in a subterranean kingdom, with the Lord of Flame as his warden. In his imprisonment, he adopted the name Tartyron and was called the Lord of Chaos. He waited, knowing those of the Realms would grow comfortable, lazy, and weak, and then he would escape to spread chaos once again.
Finally, during the time of the Bloodforge Wars (648–657 DR), the wards failed and Tartyron broke free of his subterranean prison and into the world above, free to spread chaos through the Realms of Lands, Tides, and Fire.
This is the first mission of the third episode, enjoy :)
