Herein lies Córilìce
The stories, the people, the history, the wonder
Ok! We had our first session last night, and I reckon it was pretty awesome. We met a whole plethora of new things when we entered the Southern District of The City of Calínatè. We managed to get ourselves jobs at The Blue Lagoon Tavern, and one us even managed to obtain an audience with the District Head, Marquis Aníl.
We had lost our memories, but were able to work out what was going on, eventually, learning about the Emblems, The Shùryàh, the City Guard and even managed to find a way to seek the Emblems without breaking the law, hopefully.
So, I haven't managed to include the background updates for the Héli campaign yet, and I still have to find some time to complete the Crest pages. But, you will see that there have been plenty of updates regarding all the new and exciting things about the new campaign. I have added all information to all of the following pages (you can find links to them on the right hand side of this page):
The Words
The Shùryàh
The Districts
The People
Ryúqol
Ygéà
Àlyré
Érrànyt
The Sérèf
The Sérèfi
The Language
The Runes
And so there is plenty to look over and be satisfied with.
Enjoy deciphering!I_D
There's hidden meaning in everything...
Never stop trying to understand...
So, some of the pages on the Crests have had their full Flare descriptions updated, but not all. I am still in the motions of preparing the the info I never revealed about the further plot details from the last campaign. But, you will see that there have been plenty of updates regarding little extra bits of information and teasers for the start of our first session tomorrow. Hope you find the new information exciting...
Enjoy reading!I_D

So, this will be a work in progress, but there are now so many new terms that I have created for the world, I feel it is necessary to have a post that simply details the definitions of all the words that are used in Córilìce, on the different continent and in the past as well. This will hopefully become a comprehensive list of all the terms we have already come across, and those which we discover as the campaigns run.
As we walked into the Southern District, we were faced with things that we did not understand. One of which was that if we did a whole bunch of weird and wonderful things, we might get killed, as an order of the Shùryàh. So who/what is the Shùryàh?
Well, at the moment we only know that they control The City of Calínatè, and they aren't to be see or heard from by the people who live in Calína. We also know that they have meetings every once in a month or so, and they are heralded by a symbol, known as the Cypher Rune, that can only be read with an item known as a Bàshón. This is a small torch-like device that emits a light that illuminates the message hidden in the Cypher Rune.
The Shùryàh imposes the rules, but it is the City Guard that enforce the rules. As you might have guessed, the City Guard have a few exceptions placed on how they can act such that they can arrest people for doing the wrong thing even when they might also be breaking the law while arresting them. They have also created a serious barrier over the whole of Calína in order to protect the people they are looking after. This barrier not only allows them to monitor the use of magic within the city very effectively, it is also strong enough that it cannot be penetrated by the Emblems at all.
More will appear as we learn it...
