The Crows

'

Crow s

Raven

Rook - Operates the bookstores and record keeping.

Jackdaw - Small nimble warrior with "beak" blades

Hooded Crow - Powerful mages

Carrion Crow - A crow that deals with undead threats.

Raven Spear - Name of the type of ship they fly. 

The crows were created in direct opposition to the Knights. Discreetly delivering items to the city-states. They are not granted the same authority and autonomy that the city-states have granted the Knights. The Crows(The Ravens?) work in the shadows. They enter the massive city-states through other means.

The ancient White Raven god awoke like many other great beings during the fall. None of the crows know his true nature, only that he has an unquenchable desire for messages and secrets. The great white raven blesses intricate bracelets of the different types of crows. Each bracelet grants the wearer abilities of that Crow. They are grated flight and the ability to blend into shadows. The crow's train and train for the right to be bestowed the great gift of the White Raven. 

The crows wear special masks that let them see the unseen, the magical. Where the knights are a force of strength, the crows are more of a force against magic and the supernatural. 

The crows transport, mystical items, ancient items, messages, secrets, important persons, and what some consider black market items. If you needed to smuggle something into a city-state the crows are the ones to do it. They can navigate the wilds and enter the unseen. They have a vast network in all of the city-states. Usually they operate a bookstore a rook that is also a training facility and base for the crows. They have safe houses and tunnels, and air paths that lead into the city-states. 

Dalton the Sage is persona non grata to all crows. He has on many occasions interrupted the delivery of items that are too dark to be in the world. 

The crows have talons they use to climb up buildings and use as weapons. 

Corrupted heart

 The heroes make their way farther into the spaceship. Takam senses the darkness corrupting the ground below her. The corrupted heart is a collapsed dwarf star from an ancient nebula. Floating in space until a pre-fall ship encounters the heart. They take it aboard and it slowly starts driving the crew insane. The ship remains floating until the fall. Where the chaos energy pulls the ship to the planet crashing into the forest. Since then the heart has been corrupting the land. Trying to spread its darkness deep to the core of the planet. The heroes are attacked by metal terminator-looking robots that are protecting the heart.

Luna light is on the ship. She has been holding the darkness at bay. Slowly growing insane. Member of a crew still in the stasis pod. She has been absorbing the dark energy of the Star much like the moon absorbs the energy from the sun. Granting her the power of moonlight travel and moonlight blasts. Part of her story

Or the moon has been granting her the power to protect the world. The moon sensed the great evil of the corrupted heart and saw within Evelyn Stone a hero. Through a crack in the spaceship, the moon showered its light into Evelyn creating LunarLight. She has been using all her power to contain the Star but her power is weakening and now the evil is corrupting and why the heroes learn of the spaceship.

Gauntlet Knights and Stealth Knights

 

"I am sending a (Stealth Knight) along with your squad." The commander bellowed barely looking up from his report.

"Sir!  You know what that does to morale.  Our unit can handle this!" Trion Melford argued.

"Nothing against your squad Captain, but this op needs some insurance. If things go south you will be glad of it. "

A Primer to the Storm of the World.

Welcome to the Storm of the World. 

Before the Fall.

The world began and aged much like others in the cosmos. One thing that may shock you is what society considered myths and legends are in fact real. Dragons, monsters, heroes, villains, and magic all existed through the ages of man, hidden from the masses of course, but shaping the very direction of history.

Due mostly to powerful beings, immortals, and other forces, civilization had advanced to a level that solar system space travel was common. The rocky inner planets could be reached within a matter of weeks. Travel to the gas giants took several months but rumors of massive ships and unusual phenomenon kept the expeditions small.  

The Fall.

From below and above a calamity struck the planet. Mighty forests sprung up destroying towns and cities. Spaceships fell from the sky creating vast wastelands. Mighty dragons rose from the mountains feeding and setting fire creating massive ruins.  Humans retreated to the remaining cities, only a handful across the entire planet survived the calamities. The myths and legends of old were no longer hiding but running rampant and in great numbers.  The cities erected massive walls keeping out the horrors that were emerging from the wilds. Giant creatures could be seen walking among the mountains. The sky once full of planes, now deadly predators hunting their next meal.

After the Fall.

The cities became city-states. Forming their own governments and militaries to defend what was left of civilization. A world organization known as the Knight Corps was created. Massive caravans traverse the wilds connecting the various city-states, protected by the Knights. Still, any travel is rife with peril. The cities are the only beacons left in a violent world.  Their Heroes the only break in the storm.

Rai (Ray) and Di (Dee)

The Centurion Reactor is at the heart of the NovoVoronezh Citystate.  A massive Nuclear power plant spanning miles of the city center. A shining light in the middle of a frozen wasteland. The citizens of NovoVoronezh have discovered that the Centurion Reactor is not all that they believe. In fact the street dwellers spread rumors that the reactor is in fact a giant from the stars whose body is made of heavy elements and is slumbering waiting to be awoken.  The heroes and villains of this citystate due seem to develop powers related to the heavier elements such as Rai and Di. 

Did a giant from the stars grant them powers? Were there dark experiments run on them in the depths of the reactor? Rai and Di will not say. What the citizens of Novoronezh know is they better not get in their way.
