Barejando was the main mind in charge of Xoria’s military during the Second Alliance War. He had a keen tactical mind and was a exemplary physical soldier as well. He served King Jevaninada II loyally, providing advice and aid whenever it was needed. Barejando fought alongside the King until the end of the Second Alliance War.

Barejando was born during the reign of King Jevaninada I. He was the third son of his family and of common stock. The military provided an escape from poverty and from his abusive parents. He joined the Xorian army and served in the brigade units under Queen Anajakaze. He followed orders loyally and reported dissent quickly to his superiors. He seemed to be a man with no concern for his own position within the Amazon gynocracy. His only principle was loyalty to the crown.

Barejando’s principles stayed consistent after King Jevaninada II’s rise to power. It didn’t matter that the new King had killed his mother and made a pact with an evil undead dragon. The only salient fact was that Jevaninada was the Xorian King and Barejando’s oaths were to the crown. Barejando continued his service in the brigade forces. His admirable loyalty and intelligence earned him promotion after promotion until he was noticed by Jevaninada. The King personally granted Barejando dragovinian status and made the soldier commander of the entire Xorian infantry.

Barejando continued his service as general during the Second Alliance War while occasionally joining Jevaninada on excursions to counter the activities of the Alliance War Council. Barejando succeeded in these excursions as often as he failed, but it became clear that he was the weakest member of the Xorian team. Barejando resigned himself to a position of support for the King. He stayed by his liege’s side through the final battle. Barejando died protecting his king moments before Jevaninada passed as well.

86 – Wuxia Adventures in RPGS (Daniel and Metanoia/Ithasen) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

I interviewed Daniel, my cohost of the Tabletop Community Spotlight! Daniel created his own setting called Ithasen with an in-progress wuxia TTRPG system called Metanoia to go along with it. Ithasen has a spiritual force known as Ren that pervades the world. Ren is a magical manifestation of the user's, or Rennim's, will upon the universe. Rennim that cultivate their will grow stronger and capable of more amazing feats as the concentrate their power and force of personality.Within Ithasen there are seven lineages of people that decide what type of Ren they can use. Anamor use conversion Ren. Elkyr use flux Ren. Janim use elasticity Ren. Nyl use influence Ren. Okoi use recurrence Ren. Haqol use harmony Ren. Finally, Daruner use use coalescent ren. The two races lineages that drive unique politics in Ithasen are the Daruner and the Haqol.Daruner children absorb the Ren talents of both their parents, becoming a perfect blend of Daruner and another lineage parent. Through this mixing, a Daruner family could potentially include all other lineages within itself. This power has placed Daruner as the nobility of Ithasen.Haqol's power of harmony allows them to amplify the Ren powers of others. This puts Haqol in a vulnerable position as unscrupulous people will do anything to incorporate Haqol lineage into their bloodline. Haqol have experienced something akin to a genocide as their lineage has been consistently absorbed by other lineages and diluted over the centuries.There's a whole lot more than that so strap in!Daniel has a fully setup GitHub Wiki for information on Metanoia and Ithasen that you can explore.There's a Metanoid Discord server you can join to discuss the rules and setting with other fans.The occasional musing on TTRPGs can be found on Daniel's blog, Tabletop Discourse.GoCorral YouTube Channel for watching the Tabletop Community Spotlight.Vote in the CRIT Awards!
