Draco

Draco Achaikos was a valuable halfling sorcerer and fighter in the Rebellion against Xoria. He joined the Rebellion after dragovinian dogs killed one of his brothers by draining him of his blood. Draco’s magical talents had only been developing then, but he refined them as well as his skill with wielding two blades in battle. He performed well in many small engagements that the Rebels sent him on.

Draco was assigned to Korjak’s team of dragovinians restored to their mortal forms. Draco helped them discover the sharks’ piece of the Druid’s Prophecy. Unfortunately, tragedy struck while journeying to the condors’ nests. Along the way the group took a side trip to claim an ogre’s treasure. Draco perished fighting the ogres. His compatriots built a pyre and burned him before continuing on towards the condors.

Devanane

Devanane was a high level Enforcer for the dragovinian regime. He hunted rebels and dissidents within the Xorian Empire and brought them to justice or tortured them for more information. Devanane was a true believer in Dragoviniysm. He studied dragons and emulated their breath weapons with his magical fighting style. A childhood friend of Darudanano’s as well, Devanane bullied Tagenadi from a young age. This animosity continued into adulthood. Devanane’s detestable work as an Enforcer led to his death at the hands of the Alliance Exiles.

Devanane’s parents were close friends of Tagenadi’s. Unfortunately, they died during the Amazon revolt of 418BCE. Devanane was adopted by Tagenadi’s parents and brought into their household as a brother. He was already good friends with Darudanano, but became a harsh bully towards Daru’s brother and sister, Tagenadi and Danaranena.

When Devanane and Darudanano came of age they joined the Xorian military. Devanane absolutely reveled in his ability to rape and pillage the women and homes of those the Xorian army defeated. After a few years, Tagenadi joined their army unit. With the success of their deployments, soon Daru and Devanane were slated to be dragovinianized. They came home changed, excessively cruel to their mortal family members. Tagenadi realized his error and arranged for his parents and sister to be taken out of the country. Unfortunately, the plan failed. Tagu and his family were captured. Daru and Deva smirked at Tagu’s weakness as he was taken off to his sentencing.

Devanane and Darudanano had caught the eye of King Jevaninada II. He promoted them to be a lead Enforcer and his personal bodyguard respectively. Devanane used his Enforcer position to torture Tagenadi. He told Stanton to bewitch Tagenadi into killing his own parents. The people who had taken Devanane in when he had nothing were slain on his orders by their own son. Devanane laughed and went off to enjoy his life of rebel hunting and killing while Tagenadi was cast aside into a forgotten work camp.

Devanane maintained his position as a lead Enforcer for Jevaninada. He and Stanton organized the torture of Amalius that molded him into a spy on the Alliance Council. He personally punished Amalius by trapping his soul when the double agent refused to cooperate. Devanane joined the other high-ranking Xorians that defended the Rock of Prometheus when it was discovered by the Alliance.

After Amalius released Invernix and Sartoria from the Red Orb of Dragonkind, Devanane was sent to recruit them for the Dragoviniysm pantheon. Amalgami discovered this and told the Exiles of Devanane’s plans. Amalgami feared that the red dragons joining Xoria would be too much power on one side of the conflict. The Exiles ambushed Devanane. Amalius dominated him and Torin killed him.

72 – Calico and Psychomortis (Part 1) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

CalicoVisions tells us about his game system and setting Psychomortis. The game is constructed to challenge players and characters to look inside themselves to find what's really important to them. In the far future the Earth has suffered from the arrival of the Iris which caused vast changes across the world. PCs are trapped beneath the Earth in a vast maze known as Pandora's Labyrinth. They seek an exit and/or spiritual absolution as they survive and explore in the dark depths. The experience is simultaneous a dungeon crawl and philosophical exercise.This is the first of two episodes about Psychomortis. Calico contacted me about how the game and setting had evolved since our first recording. This is the first recording which has the original version of Calico's world and game. The second one is more refined and filled in which you can see in part 2!Psychomortis is still in the early stages of development, but its playable!
