Liras is a world of magic and adventure in a high-medieval setting. Many factions, nations, and powers seek to make their way in the world. Even The Masked Gods make their presence known.

The known world

Major Factions

Gods

The Masked Gods of Liras are arrayed as a binary pantheon of Good and Evil deities covering the various domains of divinity. Most people in the world worship the entire pantheon as a whole: asking for the favor of the Good deities and attempting to assuage the Evil ones. Once in a while, a god or goddess chooses a mortal (not necessarily a clergy member) to act in their name and grant them access to some of their power, mediated through The Flow. These are the Clerics and Paladins of this world.

Well Known Teleportation Circles

There are three well-known locations in Liras that have permanent teleportation circles that the runes for are learned with the spell Teleportation Circle. These locations are so well known for their centrality to the Masked Gods Pantheon, the boundless rumors floating about it, or its plain infamy.

Fort Bluff

Located via the runes <1104.1355>, Fort Bluff is the fortified entry port to the See of the Masked Gods. Pilgrims and traders are frequent visitors.

Tyrossos

Located via the runes <3000.1609>, Tyrossos is a well-known trading port for the Athenaeum of the Far Realms. Rumors about what happens towards interior, on the other side of the southern moor run wild through the traders that call on the chilly port.

Chacatas

A small town located via the runes <3070.0610>, Chacatas is nestled at the entrance to the Flying Pass, the known path through the Stelnear Mountains to reach The Dragon Throne. Not the capital city, but the seat where Great Red Dragon Bemrainoir is said to watch over his demense. Many have attempted the journey to see the great dragon. Few have returned, none successful in their quest.
