The mysterious springs of The Ros. Many seek it out...and many are disappointed. (High Fantasy Texted Based Roleplay. Join us on Discord today!) The Ros The mysterious springs of The Ros. Many seek it out...and many are disappointed. "Curative waters." or "Strange Pools." they have been called. It is a game of chance when dipping into the warm water that makes up the many springs. There are a total of seven. No one quite knows which does what. It has been said and shown that one day, the waters of one who had healed someone of an ailment would then mentally torture the next. Or perhaps a pool that scared away the fish swimming inside could then stitch wounds mere minutes later. It all depends on the luck of the roll....quite literally. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Should your character seek out these waters, they must choose one spring at a time. Each time the waters are tested (Which must be with a part of their body), you must roll 1d20. 1-5 Negative Effect Should you roll for negative, your character will suffer the condition known throughout Simul as "Untrust". Your character will become overly paranoid at everything. They may not even try and use another pool of water to cure their original issue. They will not trust even their lover(s). This may cause them to run from anything and anyone at any given time. Stress can cause hair loss and a shrill voice at all times. This will last two weeks IC. These effects affect the entire body, whether or not you completely submerged. 6-14 Normal Waters These will do nothing other than relax you in the radiating heat. 15-20 Complete Cure Any minor issue your character ails from will be cured. Scars, disease, sanity loss, sleep deprivation, minor curses and hexes, flesh wounds, etc. More severe ailments such as cancers, disfigurement, limb loss, bone breaks etc will not be fixed. The waters can only be used once per day. Meaning, if you touch one spring, whether or not it is your whole body, you will gain nothing from any of the others until the next day. By that time...your character may be dead already. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Don't let the pools frighten you! The Ros is also one of the most beautiful natural landscapes Simul has to offer. Despite the rumors and even evidence, this has not stopped the most seasoned of travelers from making the hike and resting among the cabins. Ongoing Lore (Click)

Southern Coast Starting at the swamp lands of Yearning Mire and ending east of Korrig Harbor City lays the Southern Coast. Though the outer edges of the coast line are near sea level, and the majority between, there are small cliffs here and there peppered throughout. The ground is uneven, but gives amazing sights to behold. Most of the line is covered in greenery and tall trees, shading from the unforgiving weather. Ongoing Lore (Click)

Arcanus Aecor Long ago, when Simul was yet to become a kingdom, there was a city hidden in the depths of the ocean. The people, unable to breathe air, stayed in their watery home, hoping to find a way to come to the surface and colonize. Thousands of years passed with no progress until the day of the earth quake. The portal they had been working on for so long sunk into the abyss... Until recently. A new quake of destruction was anything but, leading to the portal the people had completed to resurfaced on the southern coast. Passing through allows the people to breathe air or breathe water, depending on the direction. Arcanus Aecor is home to more than 10,000 water dwelling species and humanoids, so be prepared to witness gills galore! The portal sits on the southern coast, and upon entering, will transport you to a wondrous city many miles out into the ocean. Stat Placeholder Year Incorporated: 102 Ongoing Lore (Click) Arcanus Aecor Dr. Jael Come down to Doctor Jael to heal your greatest ailments! A water spirit given a human body, Jael has always been one for the healing practices. After gaining his human like body, he built himself a lovely home where he offers many healing ways. Magical, potions, elixers and even some massages for those rough patches. Seawise Down at Seawise, Ervin will serve you with a smile. His specialties are mostly sweets, but he can make a mean prime rib. Nothing is off the menu here with the exception of humanoids. That kind of request will gain you a lifetime ban. Don't be weird. The only one allowed to be weird is Ervin. The restaurant itself is not submerged, allowing for the food to not be soggy. Ore Else Ever seen a dragon swim? Evyt is your classic dragon born, yet, she chooses to live inside of the water city. With daily doses of their underwater potions, she has yet to leave the city since migrating. With special skills and a little magic, she is the only blacksmith within Arcanus Aecor. She can smelt just about any melee weapon one can think of and even imbue it with an element of fire. The Boiling Sea Toward the center of the city, you will find the best spot for rest and relaxation. Well...and booze too. Even the owner, Kai, likes to partake. Being a water sprite in a human sized body has made him forget that alcohol is not friendly to his kind. As long as you can get him off the counter, you will be served some of the best drinks of your life. The Hungry Duck Looking for some amazing seafood cuts? Or even just regular farm meats? Drake has you covered! A family friendly merman who knows his food. From salmon to juicy beef, you can find just the right meat for your dish. Codex The largest library in the city is run by one particular elf. One will never see him outside of his books upon books, but can easily find him with a nose deep into a romantic novel. Vatroca is a curious boy, but a shut in none the less. He welcomes all, old and young, to view his precious collection. Though his largest section has to do with the romances, he has also collected many other types of books. Just gotta look to see if he has what you need! No, the library is not full of water.

Welcome to the last place you want to be. Vex-Mora is a town located just to the west of Mary's tavern. (High Fantasy Texted Based Roleplay. Join us on Discord today!) Vex Mora Welcome to the last place you want to be. Vex-Mora is a town located just to the west of Mary's tavern. Those who have nowhere to go have decided to settle in the area. Unsavory folks with pasts that rival most. But....there is always a reason to visit... Here, you can find anything you need. Nearly. Lost, forbidden magics and potions. Items of rarity. Things...that others may find hard to stomach. Favors from those who have nothing left to lose. The price you pay will depend. Not always is coin accepted.. The trail is overgrown. The air is putrid. You will know when you arrive. The question is, will you leave in one piece? You may want to consider masking who you truly are... The people that roam Vex Mora are far from friendly. Never assume you can gain any leeway here unless you have a pocket full of coin, or an item of value. The best thing for you to do is do your business and get out. They may live as a community, but they are far from the word. Attacking and eating each other is a common occurrence. Year Incorporated: 1207 Population: Approximately 6,000 Human-ish: 42% Elven-ish: 11% Dwarven-ish: 3% Other Things: 41% Magically Inclined(Or...things): Approximately 33% Ongoing Lore (Click) Corrosive Concoctions Need something a little more 'aggressive'? How about something downright...taboo? Go see Milian at Corrosive Concoctions. Having been the at the headstone of Vex Mora's beginning, Milian has also been the local "Poison Man" if you will. He can get you anything. If he can't find it, he will make it. Everything within this establishment has a high price... Menu Here Witches Witness The Witch’s Witness is run by, you guessed it, a witch. Her name is Barbara and she claims to be more or less a prophet of witchcraft. You’ll find everything from voodoo dolls to ancient, cursed books containing knowledge man should never have here… All for a price. She doesn’t just take money, but she also trades for things you’ll regret giving away. If you try to cheat or trick her the saying goes that “you’d be better off trying to run from the devil in hell than getting away from this woman”. Chopping Block The Chopping Block is the prime butcher’s shop in Vex Mora. Run by a strange, unidentifiable monstrosity in the guise of a man’s flesh (Mostly...or at least, that’s the rumor) who goes by the unassuming name of Carl, there’s no better place to find quality meat, not in any other shady back alley in Vex Mora! Though, the owner gets rather upset if you ask where the meat comes from or about his origins… He likes to keep his secrets. But if you listen to the word on the street, not all of the meat comes from animals… Not like the people of Vex Mora mind. Fingers and Fiddles Fingers and Fiddles, a house of whores and a house of… Music? For some reason, every third man (or woman) hired is a musician. The music plays all day and all night, which would irritate neighbors if not for them changing the tune to be more soothing at night. The owner, Madame Marian, always goes on about how she wants to maintain an air of “class”... Despite the floors being no cleaner than the prostitutes who work there. It’s widely believed that any whore who can’t please or sing well enough for the clients and the madame ends up dismembered and tossed away like yesterday’s garbage. The Drunken Donkey Yee-haw, yee-haw! The Drunken Donkey, named for the donkey carcass mounted on the wall over the fireplace, is one of the least reputable pubs in town. People don’t just come here to drink, they come here to gamble, to settle scores, and to collect dues. The place is filthy and not even the drinks and food are guaranteed to be clean, but the drink and food is usually the last concern people have coming here. The owner, Darl, hates the owner of the Hellhole with a passion, and Five-Finger Lenny hates him back. It’s said that they were twins who grew up having violently opposing ideologies about the importance of cleanliness. Celestial Athenaeum Upon walking into the only book holding building in Vex, you will be greeted with a rather...beautiful sight. How the beasts that make up such an awful place managed to complete a gorgeous piece of architecture, no one really knows. Most because no one wants to ask. The deep you roam into Celestial Anthenaeum, the larger it gets. Rooms dedicated learning the more... "dark" arts of life. Magic and life is general. Is it worth it to try and get in? Sure. Can you get out? Perhaps...The rumor is, the owner, Mavros has a taste for large brains. Hell Hole The Hellhole is a tavern that is… Oddly fine for the name and the place it is located in. It is almost always spotless clean despite the kind of raffle that runs through it, and it always smells of roses. The owner is a rather odd man who goes by the name of Five-Finger Lenny. The tavern sells the finest ale in town and it is said that the owner offers plenty of other… Darker services in the back. One thing for sure is that anyone who causes a mess is known to wake up the next day missing a finger, or even much more than that. The owner has a bloody hatred for the owner of the Drunken Donkey. It’s said that they were twins who grew up having violently opposing ideologies about the importance of cleanliness. Enchanted Enhancements Vex Mora's most infamous blacksmith. Meet Hesker. Hesker has the wares you need. (HA). For a massive price, this creepy old man can make you just about any melee weapon of choice...with just about any enchantment. They may not be unbreakable, but they can definitely be brutal. Marsha's Tavern More information HERE

Gao Shan Gao Shan: A hidden gem among the eastern side of the Alderman Mountains. If you happen to make it there, be prepared for beautiful scenery and a peaceful surrounding. The citizens love to tend to their gardens and paint their homes in beautiful rainbows of purple and yellow and red. They take great pride in their dwellings, which is easy to see. The city is quiet, the people are private, and you can find yourself asylum among its walls. This is upheld by its protectors. You wouldn't want to find yourself in a bind here. Troublemakers are not welcome. Year Incorporated: 1500 Population: Approximately 10,000 Human: 67% Elven: 20% Dwarven: 3% Other: 10% Magically Inclined: Approximately 12% Ongoing Lore (Click) Tonic Tonic is such a simple name for such a sinister looking shop. Upon entering, you will be greeted with many different looking bottles filled what seems to be souls of the damned. This is far from the truth. From a child, Blaize had always been fascinated by the dark and macabre. Having a knack for making potions of all sorts, he decided to mix the two. Even the healing potions look sketchy, but not a single person would question his ability. Menu Here Kora's Karamels A bakery and sweets shop run by a woman named Kora, a kitsune who dedicates her life to the sweet and tooth-killing. All sorts of strange candies can be found here as well as most varieties of baked goods, in the style of her homeland and the style of the natives of Simul. As a second measure to save money, she will also offer massages in the back if you can pay. Lady Thay N'oes Got yourself into some trouble again, didn't ya? No worries. Lady Thay N'oes is here to take care of you in a snap! Often faced with the protectors of Gao Shan who just so happen to cut themselves frequently (How strange, right?), Lady Thay is well known for her excellent patches and stitches. Not just a healer, Lady Thay is an amazing midwife. Having brought over a thousand children into the world in her day, she can take care of you in every which way! (HA! THAT FREAKING RHYMED! XD) Katana Cuts A butcher’s shop that is run by a man with draconic blood flowing through his veins, named Dargo Koushin. He does not, contrary to popular belief, cut his meat with a katana. He does, however, offer to cook the meat he sells with his fire breath. Chartam Collection Gao Shan is known for having such high standards. Not only in the community, but in appearance. One would think the library would be just as organized and upheld. Looking at it from the outside would also give this assumption. Walking into the doors, however, you will be met with a mess of books. Not because the caretaker, Song, does not care. But because there is a literal dragon on premises. Yes. His name is Noodle. He has no abilities that normal dragons have. No fire breath. Flightless. And he is about as big as a small dog. Messy should have been his middle name. Constantly pulling books from the shelves just to plop down on top of them. He may be a dragon, but he is quite friendly! The Mystic Deer A tavern run by a retired samurai from across the sea named Sho Mayozaki. A katana hangs above the fireplace and the smell of cherry blossoms wafts constantly through the air. The place is designed in typical Gao Shanese style, though it also incorporates a little bit of foreign styles as well. It is said to have the best sake in the city, and the wisdom imparted by the owner is not something to take for granted. Chai Out A tea shop that sells many teas that are native to the people of Gao Shan. The owner, Sayaki Kimosana, is known for believing heavily in things like chakra and karma, and offers many spiritual methods of help on the side. It is believed that she infuses her teas with mystical energies, leaving people who drink it notably refreshed. Steel Arms Steel Arms, located within Gao Shan, is one of the most prestigious and decorated blacksmiths in all of Simul. With a steady employee count of twelve, items are often made rather quickly. The head of the shop, Xia, is the one who takes the orders, but doles them out appropriately. Engraved on every piece, you will find their stamp of approval, the red cat. No one quite knows what it stands for other than the smiths themselves showing off. The Red Sea The Red Sea is a park and garden located in Gao Shan. Here, the grass is dotted by thickets of cherry blossoms, also known as sakura trees. It is a popular spot for picnics and meditation, and there is a large pond with fish from other lands. The park is home to a man known only as the Flower Sage, who seems to be a true expert on all things flora and fauna. Even the most obscure questions he knows the answer to. Many seek his wisdom on unrelated matters he is viewed as so wise, like relationship issues. He usually tells these people to go away.

Occultatum Terra Hidden beneath the large forest portal lies one of the most beautiful cities Simul has to offer. This is Occultatum Terra; a completely underground city, fairly newly discovered by the people of Simul. Home to druid elves, Occultatum Terra is lush with green and blue despite the lack of natural sun. The city is also bright and welcoming (given you are not a dwarf). Having been buried beneath the lands of Simul for thousands of years, the people of Occultatum Terra are quite oblivious to the ongoings. This is not to say they are not willing to learn. The earth shattering quake that revealed their hidden portal has freed them from their prison. Now they open their doors to almost any traveler curious to their people. So far, the population of Occultatum Terra has reached just about 21,000. Stat Placeholder Year Incorporated: 101 Ongoing Lore (Click) Lifehome An academy that is very important to the people of the city. It is where many of their druids come to train, and those from outside of the city seeking druidic training have been welcomed by the academy’s dean, Lavisian Arland. It is even considered a sacred place, a rite of passage for young druids being to graduate from this place. It also functions as a church of sorts for the various local elven faiths. Lily Leaf Lovers A tavern run by an elf named Garrion Men’Taris, Lily-Leaf Lover’s is a place where people come to indulge in other’s company, not just have a quick drink. It has a serene atmosphere, and the owner sells tea as well as alcohol. Rest and Bounty A restaurant that, as of recent, has also expanded to serve as a hotel for those coming to Occultatum Terra for simple tourism, the rooms magically soundproofed so the restaurant half of the building doesn’t irritate people looking for simple rest. It is run by a man named Rusty, who claims to have gotten his name from how often he gets tetanus. Don’t worry, though, the food is perfectly safe, and all-natural too! Bella's Baked Goods A bakery run by a human woman named Bella, who recently moved to Occultatum Terra. She has quickly become as enthralled with the natural world as the druidic elves who surround her, and has taken to growing her own ingredients when it comes to what she uses in her baked goods that can be grown. Nature Provides A place of healing run by an elven shaman named Malissia of the Grove, who does not come from Occultatum Terra but fits in just as well as any other elf. She uses the gifts provided to her by nature, natural and magical, to heal others. She has a love for life and is the type of person who would never hurt so much as a fly. Homegrown Books A bookstore that “grows” its own books, the owner owning a small plot of wood behind the store from which they harvest the material they use for their paper. They even bind the books specially with the wood from these trees, cured through some strange means so it never rots. It is run by an elven woman who only goes by Quiet. She sees no need to speak unless it is related to her books. The Great Garden A holy place for the elves of Occultatum Terra, where they believe the spirits of nature and the souls of dead animals roam, the Great Garden is a garden surely deserving of its title. It is massive, practically a small forest within the city, where the plants grow taller than most men are tall. Magic pervades this garden thoroughly, and most who visit it come to find themselves greatly relaxed and enthralled. The caretaker, Triduc, makes sure the garden stays clean and beautiful. Magical Mixtures A potion shop where you can find most any potion you could possibly think of. Healing potions? They have it. A potion to ward off illness? Also in stock. Explosive fire potions? Also in… Stock? The shop is run by a woman named Belma, who is concerningly concerned with things that go boom. She is known for the loud noises that tend to come from her shop along with the unusual amounts of smoke her chimney expels. But, her little experiments are tolerated, for there is no better place to find a massive variety of potions than Magical Mixtures. Menu Here Occultatum Terra Barion's Cleaver A butcher’s shop run by a big, burly elf (Well...big for an elf) who goes only by Barion. He refuses to cut any meat he does not kill himself, believing that doing anything else would be dishonoring the spirits of the animals he sells the meat of. Sunforged Swords A blacksmith’s that specializes in odd weapons forged with druidic magic, often blessed by the sun or nature itself by the blacksmith who runs it, Mil’andra Venian. She takes great pride in the weapons she makes, and many of her goods go to supply the city guardsmen.

Magus Unda Toward the north lies yet another beautiful lake. Magus Unda is just as unique as its name. The second largest lake in Simul, it is home to many water fairing species. It is also home to many...sky creatures. Like dragons. With it being a much lower altitude than the mountains and in such close proximity, a lot of dragon folk like to come to Magus Unda in order to hunt, fish, and drink. Traveling to the massive body of water is actually fairly frequent considering the dangers that lurk. Just one look at it will have anyone captivated. Many have even made the land nearby their homesteads. Traffic has increased over the years, and especially over the last few due to the grow of The Tree of Life within travel distance. The lake itself has always been quite popular due to the natural occurring crystals found beneath the surface toward the middle of its depths. These crystals , with their natural bioluminescence, though common, sell for a decent amount of coin being they are VERY easy to imbue with magics. Come, take a dive, and enjoy one of the best beauties Simul has to offer! Ongoing Lore (Click)

In the year 9012, the landscape changed. Color blotched the earth. Trees provided shade. Water filled the rivers. Many different biomes came together to create something....beautiful. Life took a breath. Some say it was the gods converging, giving those that grieved something beautiful to look at. Some say it was the dead themselves; taking the opportunity they receive, once per year, to plant a lush and beautiful forest. No one knows the real truth.
