the phoenix also plays the rule of the judge and the one who oversees honor in deeds. this aspect governs, fire, glory, law and order.

thousands upon thousands can participate in open ceremories led by the holy phoenix himself or one of the high priests. in addition most orkan temples serve as training grounds for his
clerics, paladins and inquisitors.
outside of the holy nation, temples of orkan can be found in almost all civilized settlements though they are usually kept a lot smaller and not allowed to maintain armed forces bar a few
priests.
followers: as one of the two chief deities, orkan's followeres are actually the more nuberous of the two. his cult being the state religeon of the holy nation and having outlawed other cults.
though most other sentients couldn't be counted among his followers still in some capacity. most of his followers are harmless though easily driven into zealotry. his priests tend to be
well trained and extremely dangerous even in low numbers. the main cult of the holy nation is heavily patriarchal and xenophobic. his following outside the holy nation tends to be more
open and accepting, though even followers of his faith from outside the holy nation have been known to be purged when they do not bend knee.
orkan's clergy and paladins are collectively referred as 'sun chosen' or simply the 'chosen'.
rituals: orkan's faith is heavily based around fire, glory and the sun. temples feature many great torches or braziers that burn all the time to which the faithful can pray to. all temples feature
roof spaces where it's possible to pray directly under the sun and extensive training grounds as prayer through combat training is also considered means to pray to the sun god.

Re: The Kenshi Campaign stuff.
factions and groups for kenshi
-daughters of sin(formerly daughters of narko)( neutral evil cult of narko / cult driven society )
a growing cult society dedicated to teh goddess narko, the daughters of sin have been declared an evil cult. if discovered they are
very hostile towards outsiders and tend to operate on the basis of secret infiltration cells and sleeper agents outside of their
hidden bases and safehouses. originally known for missionary and volunteer work, traveling to aid those in need, in the recent decade
the daughters have became increasingly hostile and zealous towards any other religeous following in addition to increased hatred for
males. many the daughters are experts at infiltration and subterfuge, serving as spies and assassins in addition to whichever other
goal they might have at the time. none of the major powers allow the cult's presence. narko's main temple have a strained relationship
with the daughters, sometimes leading to outright conflicts, over the daughters' atrocities.
objectives: the cult's growing presence is a direct result of their goal of expansion as result of the desire to grow and go to war
with the holy nation. as far as anybody is aware, their direct objective is the murder of the holy phoenix, his heirs and any other
orkanite leader alive. followed that, many of their lesser objectives include acts of terror and sabotage in the name of freedom
from orkan and his chosen.
main hq: the daughter's main temple is rumored to be hidden deep within the cannibal plains. while the location itself hasn't be confirmed
enough information has leaked to know that it's a replica of narko's original temple in the mountains of southern holy nation.
entry requirements: only females are allowed as members of the daughters. to join you must be a follower of the goddess and go through
a number of rituals and tests, designed to wash away your old way of thinking and be remade into a new glorious self( indoctrination )
people of interest:
lust - high priestess of the daughters of sin. real name unknown. appears to be a beautiful woman with bronze tan and glowing silver eyes.
there's little to no information about her, bar the fact she's the one running the daughters and a powerful divine magic user.
-tech hunters ( traveling historians, archeologists, engineers and scientists / international organization )
affiliated with the university of world's end, the tech hunters are an organization of traveling historians, archeologists, scientists,
engineers and adventurers who scour the world for remnants of the old world, it's technologies and mysteries. official tech hunters' hq
is the town of flats lagoon, a city located on top of an ancient raised platform above a lake. historians and scientists theorize that once
upon a time the area was under water with the raised platform serving as a type of water city, though details are sparce to non existant.
the tech hunters tends to get along with most factions bar the holy nation and their very strict control over any and all technology and who
has access to it. most hunters tend to travel in pairs a historian and scientists or engineer, though in some cases some prefer to go solo.
while not a military organization, the hunters are in possession of many advanced technologies and as such production resources. leading
their agents to be very well equipped as they tend to face a lot of dangers out of civilized parts of the world.
objectives: the tech hunters standing objectives haven't changed in decades, it's the dedication of discovery of lost history, technology and
arcane, their understanding and preservation for the future. in addition to figuring out ways to better the way of living in the wastes.
main hq: the tech hunter's main hq is the fortified city of flats lagoon. most of the tech hunters facilities are located there in addition to
their own research and manufacture infrastrcuture. the city is one giant platform on huge pillars above a lake. it's a frequent spot for
trading caravans and tech hunters looking to drop off their loot and discoveries. they have two more major hq one within world's end
and at the city of black scratch.
entry requirements: to join the tech hunters is not hard. they can always make use of more general workers to carry luggages or work the digs.
to become a tech hunter is a more involved process that requires a certain degree of intelligence or at least willingness to learn. it's a job
like any other. it's not a cult.
people of interest:
finn mcgann - elected leader of the tech hunters. spends most of his time running things from flats lagoon. appears to be middle age human
male with penchant for smoking. has held the post for the last 20 years since he was elected after the last leader died. in this time
he has increased the life expectancy of hunters by improving training, gear and has managed to lead the hunters to the completyion of
a number of high profile technologies with the aid of the worlds end university of course. this has sadly assured him a degree of popularity
that will ensure he will likely hold the post till his death, much to his annoaynce.
kasumi rhyne - a recent addition to the high eschalons of teh tech hunters, kasumi is a young human woman of lithe build. having decided
on a last name when she published her thesis with the university. kasumi is responsible for the first creation of simplefied automaton or
warforged documented in over 2000 years. her acomplishment however has made her a major target for the holy nation and their rampant fear
of all warforged as such she has left world's end to travel south.
-slavers' guild ( organized slavers / international organization )
in the wastes of the world, slavery is just another aspect of life that's accepted as normal in some form in every major or minor nation.
though even then the guild prides itself on thier dedication and logistics. the slavers' guilds operates numerous slave camps across the world
and have squads of wandering slave catchers across every kingdom even if they need to be careful about it as capturing 'escaped slaves' from
the orcish kingdom or the holy nations can backfire as the guards and soldiers would take a rather harmful objection to that, however outside
the city walls and out of view? the guild is very proud to produce slaves for any and all tastes or needs. the guild operates like a business
with a pyramid scheme. a master owns and runs the guild, a number of executives operate various parts of it and so on down the line it goes.
objectives: the slavers' guild objectives are very simple - money. slaves are an indespensable part of most societies left and as such present
a great source of income. as such the guild has great incentives to maintain the slave trade and the market's stability. as such the eradication
of any emancipation and freedom movements is a critical priority of the guild.
main hq: the slavers guild leadership and administration is housed in the city of heft within the united cities empire. as the uc is their
prime clinet of slaves and they enjoy quite the status and priviliges within the uc empire. the hq itself is a palace, gift by the emperor
for the guild's contributions.
entry requirements: nothing specific beyond the willingness to enslave people for profit.
people of interesst:
yama tashino - owner of the slavers' guild and direct relative to the current uc emperator tengu. yama is a human man in his twilight years who
has taken the guild and turned it in his 50 years or rulership from a collection of loose thugs scraping some coin to a major business that
continues to operate despite protests or attempts to stop them. rutheless and efficient tyrant and all his underlings know it.
-nomads ( traveling herders and merchants / traveling independent society )
the traveling nomads are not a single clan, but a great collection of unified ones that never the less rarely gather in their entirety. true to
their names, nomads maintain very few permanent homes as most spend their entire lives traveling with their herds, looking for pastures and trade.
many nomad caravans serve as the defacto mail and delivery service in the world. their great beasts carry incredible amount of merchandize and supplies
across the wastelands. they are known to be neutral to most bar bandits and slavers and the caravans tend to be guarded by at least a number of
warriors to discourage raids upon them. in addition the nomads quite often help lost travelers in need, especially if there are slave camps anywhere
in the areas.
objectives: to survive, thrive and maintain their culture. nomads do not have a grand goal or objectives beyond survival of their clan and living
their lives. they use the trade as means to supply their caravans with things they cannot produce and tend to avoid getting into trouble. that said
they are known to rescue escaped slaves when encountered without asking much in return.
main hq: the nomads do not maintain what one might call a permanent base of operations. any stationary settlements they own are closer to farms
rather than administration or place to gather up and operate out of. if there's an issue that nomads as a whole need to decide, a location is chosen
and a grand gathering of the clans is held.
entry requirements: joining the nomads is quite easy, you just need to be accepted into one of the clans and most have different requirements to do so.
some are simple as asking, others will require a task and so on...
people of interest:
pale joy - a young tiefling woman of milky white skin and 4 horns who has inherited the leadership mantle of the grass heart nomad clan. a clan
that specializes in trade of farm animals. her great beauty is only likened akin to her ferociousness when angered. her rise to fame was her
dispatching of an orkanite patrol that tried to capture all the non human members of her clan when they strayed a bit too close to holy nation
borders. rumor has it that an inquisitor was present to that battle which is why her fame rose so.
old babt - an ancient human woman who is rumored to be at least 100 years old, maybe more. tiny, hunchbacked, with dry skin and sunken face and
crooked nose. said to be the leading shaman of the nomads, capable of magic, reading the stars and the future... also to be able to break any
curse and to curse anyone.
-sunfire inquisition( lawful evil cult of orkan / cult driven society )
the inquisition of the holy nation is in the direct service of the holy phoenix himself. they are the most ruthless, well trained and organzied
of the orkan's chosen. all men are trained from early age and well educated so they can sniff out and chase down heresies, traitors and unbelivers.
the presence of an inquisitor is seen as ill omen in the holy nation, it's a sign that somebody has sinned enough that even orkan's angered. their
methods are ruthless and effective.
objectives: the inquisition's main objective is the survival of the holy phoenix. as such they root out spies, assassins and any other undesirables.
most of their time is spend hunting down foreign agents, followers of the heretical gods such as narko and so forth.
main hq: the inquisition is based out of the holy nation capital of blister hill. in difference from the paladins and clerics whole serve the holy
phoenix directly in his temple palace, the inquisition is housed in a grand walled complex where they can do their tasks and duties out of the perview
of the regular folk. the inquisition complex is situated next to the holy phoenix palace.
entry requirements: the inquisitors of orkan are an entirely male group, fanatically devoted to their cult, even more than the paladins themselves.
to become one, you must undergo years of training, education and commitement. members are usually brought in as children to ensure loyalty. to allow an
adult to join, one must undergo many trials, tests and willingness to confirm to the idealogy to a fanatical degree.
people of interest:
inquisitor seta - a human male around the age of 30. seta's the holy phoenix's most zealous inquisitor and known as one of the strongest paladins
of orkan. the few times he has entered open conflict are well recorded and his presence easily turning the tides. if he's out for any reason, chances
are that somebody screwed up badly. he also is known for making it quite personal when he is punishing sinners or heretics... personal and cruel.
his favorite method is burning his victims alive.
inquisitor kara - also known as sister kara is the only woman inquisitor of orkan. a female half elf, she's everything the holy nation stands against
however as she's never been in the holy nation and is in fact an orkanite believer from the united cities empire. however her skill in battle and
dedication to the destruction of demons, devils and evil in general has earned her the grudging recognition of the holy phoenix and the inqusition.
she's not official member, however should the need arise, she's known to operate in the inquisition's stead within the uc in case demons or devils
are involved.
-catun crafters ( independent union of crafters )
the catun crafters is an organization that hails from the city of catun, located in the far south. first discovered by the united cities empire over
2000 years ago, catun's rise to fame is their meriad skilled warforged craftsmen that have maintained quality standard since their discovery and in fact
have set the standrad for other craftsmen to follow. the current world currency commonly referred as cats in fact comes as abbriviation of catun credits.
since every major faction wanted to trade with catun and their quality armors and weapons, gradually over teh course of a few centuries the currency was
shifted adn replaced. nowdays while not as popular or important as it once was since the last great war, catun still maintains it's quality standard for
all it's products. membership in the group by outside craftsmen is seen as a highest honor and proof of one's skills and dedication to their craft.
in addition many craftsmen still send their apprentices to catun to be tested by the master craftsmen there. besides the contingent of warriors or
mercenaries maintined by the crafters, they also have close ties with the ninja thieves. both groups benefit from each other, catun gains from the forces
the ninjas station to defend it and with help of trading and caravans while the ninjas benefit from a source of quality gear and a save haven for it's
people.
objectives: trade and skill. the crafters of catun are solely focused on perfecting their crafts. earning coin helps with that as the things they produce
fun their further projects. to that end they send numerous trading caravans to major factions to sell their gear and have a partnership with the tech
hunters in case they find technologies or arcana to help with their crafts.
main hq: the crafters' obvious location is the city of catun. the city's town hall serve also as teh group's administration center on top of administrating
the city itself.
entry requirements: membership is considered an elite status for crafters. to gain such membership, a person must impres a commitee with their craft. this
tends to require crafting or produce an item that the majority of the commitee will accept for the status.
people of interest:
vorun - a warforged smith that runs one of the weapon smithies in catun. has been there since the day the uc rediscovered the city and has been
crafting ever since. his weapons are among the best out there and he personally trains a number of promising students at every point in time at
his smithy. is known to never pick a weapon to fight despite making them for others. he would just bash skulls with his fists instead.
sad snake - a warforged crafter that specializes in cloth. his outfits are known as the highest quality out there( not armors) and most master

-dust bandits ( bandit group / criminal organization )
the dust bandits are a group that mainly operates in the neutral lands between the holy nation and the orcish kingdom, occasionally sending out raiding
parties to attempt to loot, capture or scack whatever they stumble upon before they are repelled or captured. the dust bandits are decently well organized
and possess some degree of training and equipment, even if most of it is looted of travellers or bought from other means. this group of bandits is very
hostile to anyone they could get into their sights and have been known to even attempt to attack large patrol forces if they think they can get away
with it. organization is usually a simple affair with each raiding party consisting of up to a few dozen men and one or two squad leaders. while their
base is known, it's deep enough in neutral lands that it makes mounting an expedition to deal with them a chore and weakning to a nation's defenses if the
needed numbero f men is sent to attack them properly.

scheme of things the dust king has a dream of unifying the border lands and declaring himself a true ruler. though he lacks people with the brains to pull
this goal off.

upon a time the area was under water with the raised platform serving as a type of water city, though details are sparce to non existant.

people of interest:
finn mcgann - elected leader of the tech hunters. spends most of his time running things from flats lagoon. appears to be middle age human
male with penchant for smoking. has held the post for the last 20 years since he was elected after the last leader died. in this time
he has increased the life expectancy of hunters by improving training, gear and has managed to lead the hunters to the completyion of
a number of high profile technologies with the aid of the worlds end university of course. this has sadly assured him a degree of popularity
that will ensure he will likely hold the post till his death, much to his annoaynce.
kasumi rhyne - a recent addition to the high eschalons of teh tech hunters, kasumi is a young human woman of lithe build. having decided
on a last name when she published her thesis with the university. kasumi is responsible for the first creation of simplefied automaton or

of all warforged as such she has left world's end to travel south.
-slavers' guild ( organized slavers / international organization )
in the wastes of the world, slavery is just another aspect of life that's accepted as normal in some form in every major or minor nation.
though even then the guild prides itself on thier dedication and logistics. the slavers' guilds operates numerous slave camps across the world
and have squads of wandering slave catchers across every kingdom even if they need to be careful about it as capturing 'escaped slaves' from
the orcish kingdom or the holy nations can backfire as the guards and soldiers would take a rather harmful objection to that, however outside
the city walls and out of view? the guild is very proud to produce slaves for any and all tastes or needs. the guild operates like a business
with a pyramid scheme. a master owns and runs the guild, a number of executives operate various parts of it and so on down the line it goes.
objectives: the slavers' guild objectives are very simple - money. slaves are an indespensable part of most societies left and as such present
a great source of income. as such the guild has great incentives to maintain the slave trade and the market's stability. as such the eradication
of any emancipation and freedom movements is a critical priority of the guild.

prime clinet of slaves and they enjoy quite the status and priviliges within the uc empire. the hq itself is a palace, gift by the emperor
for the guild's contributions.
entry requirements: nothing specific beyond the willingness to enslave people for profit.

continues to operate despite protests or attempts to stop them. rutheless and efficient tyrant and all his underlings know it.
-nomads ( traveling herders and merchants / traveling independent society )
the traveling nomads are not a single clan, but a great collection of unified ones that never the less rarely gather in their entirety. true to
their names, nomads maintain very few permanent homes as most spend their entire lives traveling with their herds, looking for pastures and trade.
many nomad caravans serve as the defacto mail and delivery service in the world. their great beasts carry incredible amount of merchandize and supplies
across the wastelands. they are known to be neutral to most bar bandits and slavers and the caravans tend to be guarded by at least a number of
warriors to discourage raids upon them. in addition the nomads quite often help lost travelers in need, especially if there are slave camps anywhere
in the areas.
objectives: to survive, thrive and maintain their culture. nomads do not have a grand goal or objectives beyond survival of their clan and living
their lives. they use the trade as means to supply their caravans with things they cannot produce and tend to avoid getting into trouble. that said
they are known to rescue escaped slaves when encountered without asking much in return.
main hq: the nomads do not maintain what one might call a permanent base of operations. any stationary settlements they own are closer to farms
rather than administration or place to gather up and operate out of. if there's an issue that nomads as a whole need to decide, a location is chosen
and a grand gathering of the clans is held.
entry requirements: joining the nomads is quite easy, you just need to be accepted into one of the clans and most have different requirements to do so.
some are simple as asking, others will require a task and so on...

borders. rumor has it that an inquisitor was present to that battle which is why her fame rose so.
old babt - an ancient human woman who is rumored to be at least 100 years old, maybe more. tiny, hunchbacked, with dry skin and sunken face and
crooked nose. said to be the leading shaman of the nomads, capable of magic, reading the stars and the future... also to be able to break any
curse and to curse anyone.
-sunfire inquisition( lawful evil cult of orkan / cult driven society )
the inquisition of the holy nation is in the direct service of the holy phoenix himself. they are the most ruthless, well trained and organzied
of the orkan's chosen. all men are trained from early age and well educated so they can sniff out and chase down heresies, traitors and unbelivers.
the presence of an inquisitor is seen as ill omen in the holy nation, it's a sign that somebody has sinned enough that even orkan's angered. their
methods are ruthless and effective.

of the regular folk. the inquisition complex is situated next to the holy phoenix palace.
entry requirements: the inquisitors of orkan are an entirely male group, fanatically devoted to their cult, even more than the paladins themselves.

of orkan. the few times he has entered open conflict are well recorded and his presence easily turning the tides. if he's out for any reason, chances
are that somebody screwed up badly. he also is known for making it quite personal when he is punishing sinners or heretics... personal and cruel.
his favorite method is burning his victims alive.
inquisitor kara - also known as sister kara is the only woman inquisitor of orkan. a female half elf, she's everything the holy nation stands against
however as she's never been in the holy nation and is in fact an orkanite believer from the united cities empire. however her skill in battle and
dedication to the destruction of demons, devils and evil in general has earned her the grudging recognition of the holy phoenix and the inqusition.
she's not official member, however should the need arise, she's known to operate in the inquisition's stead within the uc in case demons or devils
are involved.
-catun crafters ( independent union of crafters )
the catun crafters is an organization that hails from the city of catun, located in the far south. first discovered by the united cities empire over
2000 years ago, catun's rise to fame is their meriad skilled warforged craftsmen that have maintained quality standard since their discovery and in fact
have set the standrad for other craftsmen to follow. the current world currency commonly referred as cats in fact comes as abbriviation of catun credits.
since every major faction wanted to trade with catun and their quality armors and weapons, gradually over teh course of a few centuries the currency was
shifted adn replaced. nowdays while not as popular or important as it once was since the last great war, catun still maintains it's quality standard for
all it's products. membership in the group by outside craftsmen is seen as a highest honor and proof of one's skills and dedication to their craft.
in addition many craftsmen still send their apprentices to catun to be tested by the master craftsmen there. besides the contingent of warriors or
mercenaries maintined by the crafters, they also have close ties with the ninja thieves. both groups benefit from each other, catun gains from the forces
the ninjas station to defend it and with help of trading and caravans while the ninjas benefit from a source of quality gear and a save haven for it's
people.
objectives: trade and skill. the crafters of catun are solely focused on perfecting their crafts. earning coin helps with that as the things they produce
fun their further projects. to that end they send numerous trading caravans to major factions to sell their gear and have a partnership with the tech
hunters in case they find technologies or arcana to help with their crafts.

the city itself.

Re: The Kenshi Campaign stuff.
barbarian(lunatic): a lunatic whose mind has been nearly shattered by brushing with things beyond the world.
their sanity teetering on the bring of madness ever since their brush with the things mortals are not meant to
encounter. finally the thing they've seen in the great beyond has caught up to them and it doesn't want to
let go.
a mortal whose growing madness and rage allows the eldrich beings to manifest through their own body, turning
them into lethal engines for destruction both physical and psychological.
3rd lvl feature(optional/example): the remnant and the beast
when you reach 3rd level and pick this subclass, you must choose the nature of the eldrich
force that has become drawn your very essence and become the source of your madness.
-the beast - the majority of the things that lurk beyond the veil. often mindless or with
minds so foreign that they are impossible to ever know or understand. these are creatures
of endless hungers and raw alien emotions who induce madness with their mere presence.
alien, grotesque and against all that is sane.
when raging: your body starts mutating to match an unknowable being. twisting muscles,
more eyes and mouths, aberrant grotesque flesh.
-the remnant - remnants are relics and remains of powerful beings or civilizations that have
existed somewhere out there, but have been lost to time, entropy and the things in the void
of the outer realms. these remnants take forms of weapons, armors, jewelry and other such,
but their existence in the outer realm has turned their nature into that of alien parasites
or symbiotes that always seek new hosts.
when raging: the remnants manifest through your body, protecting it in a layer of armor that
matches it's nature.
3rd lvl feature: living weapon

- when you roll for a savage lunacy, after the roll is resolved, you could decide to roll a second
time and resolve another savage lunacy check.
10th lvl feature: peace at last

doing so blocks your ability to rage again until you have completed a short or long rest.

14th lvl feature: extra attack improvement
- when you take an attack action, you could attack 3 times.
14th lvl feature: perfect self
you give yourself fully the the flow of eldrich energies coursing through your body and mind, turning into a being of eldrich power and unleash all of it at an enemy.
- sacrifice all your remaining hit dice deal that much damage. if you kill the target, die with them.
without being able to be revived as your body disintegrates into pure energy afterwards.
- if the target survives, you survive too with only a single hit dice worth of hp. the rest is impossible
to heal via regular means and can only return 1 hit dice worth of hp per day or by use of the wish spell.
- if a second sacrifice is attempted while you are recovering from the first one, deal your current max
hp as flat damage to the enemy. your body disintegrates afterwards.
