	=== Plague Knights ===		=== Plague Knights ===
	Known by their soot-stained white cloaks, tabards, and surcoats, the plague knights are a blessing or a scourge depending on who you ask. These ruthless followers of the White God seek out reports of disease and respond swiftly, donning their haunting masks bearing either a hose connected to a crude filter or a bird's beak stuffed with flowers and herbs to keep the stench of pestilence at bay. They are known to set entire villages to the torch in their attempt to contain plague outbreak, whether there is actually a plague or not. They are extremely active in Arkdam and the Wastelands and often find themselves faced with foolhardy adventurers seeking to put an end to their perceived tyranny. It is common practice for this order to recruit victims with non-contagious illnesses, convince them that their disease is punishment from the White God and grant them a chance at salvation as their auxiliaries. The conditioning for this auxiliary work leaves mentally more beast than man and the crazed flagellants are often driven toward the enemy by whip, just so they don't accidentally attack the knights as the cleansing spirit of the White God possesses them in a divine frenzy.

	An ancient order of knights sworn to ~~being~~ justice and stability to the realm of Ferrumgard. In a time where Wasteland raiders sack helpless villages, the noble elite of Arkdam brutalize the commonfolk to keep them in line, and ancient evil stirs in the frozen wastes of Blashyrkh, the Painkillers are needed now more than ever. Where there is injustice, they right it. Where there is corruption, they excise it. Where there is pain, they kill it.		An ancient order of knights sworn to bring justice and stability to the realm of Ferrumgard.

Where there is injustice, they right it. Where there is corruption, they excise it. Where there is pain, they kill it.
	Those who wish to join their ranks must venture to Steelhall, located in the mountain range east of Tyrnoth. Regardless of creed or religion, if the elders deem them worthy, they will be given training in the arts of combat, magic, and Painkiller philosophy. Their final task, before becoming a full-fledged Painkiller is to go on a quest. Either they will be given one by the elders or will be allowed to complete one of their choosing. These Aspirant Painkillers will often rally a band of adventurers to help them on their quest, or find an already questing party welcoming of assistance. It is possible that two or more Painkillers may face off on opposite ends of a conflict, each believing their cause is most just.

	If they survive the ordeal and complete the quest, surly word of their deeds will reach Steelhall through the bard songs.

	A cluster of islands off the west of the Mainland, the Farports are home to several port towns that act as the gateway of trade from lands beyond. Goods, items, creatures, immigrants, and slaves from lands far off must pass through the Farports before setting foot on the Mainland. Many passersby often stay indefinitely to ~~eek~~ out a living in the bustling docks or enter the lucrative business of piracy and smuggling. As such, many settlements dotting the beaches and lagoons of the Farports are notorious hangouts for pirates, smugglers, and other shady folk. The Farports are not unified under any one ruler, instead allied as a confederacy of city-states guaranteed protection from ~~invaders~~ by Tyrnoth.

It in the late years of the Metallican Empire, the earth lay cracked and burned, fresh from its wounds that had be wrought by the Bards of the old days. General of the 17th Metallican Legion, Tyrn, oversaw the last bastion of Metallican rule. It was an unnamed fortress turned refugee camp. The remnants of his dead, once proud Empire clinging to life in the desolate haven. Something had to be done.

	Tyrn had long accepted that the Metallican Empire was long dead. ~~It's~~ colonies fallen into savagery, it's core turned to dust, and now it's last cities losing their way. His people however, refused to believe that the Empire that had lasted so long, was finally gone for good.

Tyrn had long accepted that the Metallican Empire was long dead. Its colonies fallen into savagery, it's core turned to dust, and now it's last cities losing their way.

	Tyrn was rapidly expanded in short time. Builds were raised around the tower, and when the city was complete great fortifications were raised. High walls of glistening steel rose all around it's circumference of Tyrn, guarding it from most forms of assault. In the center of the circle was the shining tower of marble, the white stone reflecting the sunlight brilliantly. At the top of the tower was the throne room of Tyrn, which his successors still use to this day.		Tyrn was rapidly expanded in short time.
