The World of Gorania: Byzonta

Now the sale is over, let’s resume our Goranian lessons. Spread your scrolls if you want to jot down notes. Byzonta is named after Baizent, who declared himself the first King of Byzonta, ending decades of the Bermanian sovereignty over this southwestern mountainous pocket. For centuries, the Bermanians had tried to reconquest this realm, but they were never able to make use of their powerful cavalry on … Continue reading The World of Gorania: Byzonta

The World of Gorania: Bermania

Unlike The Warrior’s Path, Queen of Rebels (coming in three days) is centered in one kingdom, chronicling one of the darkest periods in its history.

They are the descendants of Goran the … Continue reading The World of Gorania: Bermania

The World of Gorania: Before Goran

We are still enjoying the company of Kuslov, Master of all Trackers. Check the previous sessions here and here if you missed them. Lesson 3: The Origins of Goranian Realms Goranians before Goran were not fond of writing, so all we know about them are tales that are closer to myths than facts. Each faction has its own story about its origins that has nothing to do … Continue reading The World of Gorania: Before Goran

The World of Gorania: Goran The Not-So-Great

Again, I leave the stage for Kuslov to entertain us with his knowledge…what he claims he knows… Lesson 2: Gorania’s First Emperor I don’t blame you for not believing a word I say. Not because I’m drunk. A couple of flagons of ale never make me that drunk. It’s the clerics who write the damned Tales; they are the ones who get really, really drunk. What? Shocked? … Continue reading The World of Gorania: Goran The Not-So-Great

The World of Gorania: Never Dishonor The Tales

A whole year has passed since Masolon’s first ride across the Goranian realms, so we all (me included) need to refresh our memories. Lesson 1: Gorania (told by Kuslov, Master of all Trackers) To Goranians, Gorania is their whole … Continue reading The World of Gorania: Never Dishonor The Tales
