Avoid stretching your caravan formations too thin - stragglers and lagging wagons make for an easy target. To common soldiers, my advice would be to always stay vigilant and never part with their armor, no matter how unbearable the heat may become. Only well-fortified camps and outposts can be considered safe in Ahjat - everywhere else an ambush can happen at any moment... | ||

In Aldor, the most common name is the Bronze Isles.<br><br>The location of the Isles opens up vast opportunities for controlling a significant part of the Southern Sea. Most merchant ships heading West to East - or vice versa - have to enter the local ports to refill their supplies and recuperate after facing the many dangers which plague the waters in that part of the world.<br><br>Unsurprisingly, Bronza was destined to become a crossroad of cultures: it's the place where Skadian merchants trade maps with elven travelers, where Nistrian seafarers shake hands with Aldorians, while Bronzians themselves are busy counting profits and gathering useful knowledge from the world over.<br><br>All of this factored into the rapid development of science, arts, and craftsmanship - the rulers of Bronza had admirable foresight and enough common sense to generously reward any inventor, sage, or sorcerer who had something to offer to the world.<br><br>For that very reason, the crowded, lively cities of Bronza are full of wonders that you can't find anywhere else, including Jacinth. For example, there's a giant, bizarre mechanism installed into the tower of the capital's city hall, which is capable of counting time without the direct involvement of people or any kind of magic.<br><br>But lamentably, even the most talented and prudent nations can fall prey to misfortune. The current Duke of Bronza, the most venerable Orro Denye, had been gullible and prone to superstition since early age.<br><br>Over the years of his rule, the Duke's timid nature and indecisiveness attracted an assorted crowd of sycophants and frauds, one of which prophesied some disastrous tragedy that will arrive from across the sea and put an end to the existing order of things.<br><br>The Duke was so terrified by those words that he immediately ordered to shut down every port in the country, completely severing the Isles's connection to the rest of the world. According to rumors, there was enough discontent to fuel a rebellion against the insane ruler - however, that attempt ended in failure, costing many their lives.<br><br>So even a decade later Bronza, which was once full of life and commotion, still remains hidden from outside observers. Their Coastal Guard mercilessly sinks any ship brave enough to approach the shore - only a small number of local smugglers, who know the Isles as the back of their hand, dares venturing into the sea on their flimsy vessels to sneak forbidden goods in and out of the country... | ||

|Folio on Hieron Content = ... | |Folio on Hieron Content = ...Hieronites, as they call themselves, also worship Dair, the Circle of Existence, but their name for it is the Host, and they adhere to different dogmas. The hierarchy of the Aldorian Hieron is rooted in the distant Axonian past and therefore is just as complex and elaborate as its teachings.<br><br>( . . . )<br><br>The priests who perform divine service and conduct sermons are known as Hierophants. However, before they can assume this title, each claimant has to spend at least a few years as an Exoteric.<br><br>Exoterics adhere to strict ascetic practices and perform distant pilgrimages. During those travels, they visit every important holy site and spread the Word of the Host to far away villages that lack their own temples and priests.<br><br>Upon reaching old age, the Hierophants who prove to be capable and pure of heart usually distance themselves from preaching and become Hermeneutists - scholars and interpreters of holy texts, tasked with unraveling secret meanings still hidden in millennia-old ancient manuscripts.<br><br>The proper understanding of hermeneutics is a necessary step in becoming a Theognostic, a person who has a direct connection to the Host. Theognostics no longer rely on food, drink, or sleep: not unlike the Oracles of Hazzun, they are spiritually fulfilled, receiving sustenance from the depths of their own souls and the endless mercy of the Divine Powers they worship.<br><br>An immaculately pious Theognostic receives a chance to unite with the Host in life, thus becoming a Thaumaturge, capable of performing miracles. Thaumaturges can do many things: heal the suffering, bless those of noble spirit, and smite all things wicked and unholy.<br><br>The most powerful Theurgists are anointed with the title of Archtheurgist, which makes them conduits of the Divine Will in this world and leaders of the Hieron. As a rule, there can only be one Archtheurgist at a time, but there are records of occasions when multiple Hieronites would become Archteurgists simultaneously, forming diarchies or triarchies.<br><br>According to chronicles, some of these great wonder-workers could restore razed cities, put an end to waves of pestilence, and send huge heathen armies fleeing in fear with nothing but their raw willpower... | ||

Instead, each Skadian city raises its own army, mints its own coin, and makes governmental decisions during veches, popular assemblies held by affluent townsmen.<br><br>Nevertheless, when faced with a major threat - and the enemies of Skadia are numerous - the cities elect an Elder Prince, who leads the united army and makes countrywide decisions until the crisis is averted... | ||
