THE LANDING OF A CHOSEN PEOPLE

 

When the True Faith conquered Tel Hochmacht from the taints of corruption, the land was stripped of its grace, desecrated by the hand of Iblees. Thus, when the Ivori arrived, they brought light—like a matchstick yearning for flame, the land crying out and begging for GOD’s presence.

 

Designed by the legendary Lord Vindacus, Architect of Ivor, and driven by fathers and mothers desperate to shield their children, the Ivori marched to Mount Vindicta. Their hearts were set on a divine promise, a homeland decreed by Horenic Determinism—a sanctuary for their people, untouched by worldly corruption.

 

The Ivori labored.

They chopped until the trees no longer stood, their axes biting deep into the ancient oaks.

They cleared the alps, chasing deer through frost and shadow.

They toiled…

 

Finally, they built—a city carved from the wilderness, shaped by faith and forged in the pursuit of the heavens.

HOMES…

 

Shelters and sanctuaries where love and faith would thrive. In these walls, the hearth burns warmly, and children grow strong, nourished by the light of GOD. Every sunset and sunrise is marked with prayers and meals, a rhythm of life carved into the heart of their settlement.

 

 

THE WUNDERBAR, BAR AND FROMAGERIE

 

A place of laughter, culture, and tradition. At the Wunderbar, the Ivori gather to share stories, drink the finest mead, and savor cheeses crafted from ancestral recipes. Travelers from distant lands find warmth within its walls, while Ivori artisans showcase their culinary mastery.

 

 

THE ACADEMY OF BLESSED VALENTINA

 

So the youth can be forged into stewards of faith and wisdom. Children are taught the will of GOD, the teachings of the Exalted, and the legacy of their ancestors.

 

 

The Monastery of St. Lucien: A Temple to the Eternal

 

A beacon of sanctity for the faithful. Dedicated to the revered St. Lucien, this monastery serves as a sacred refuge for prayers, baptisms, and weddings. It is here that the Ivori seek spiritual guidance, while priests, monks and deacons safeguard the traditions of the True Faith.

 

 

The Town Hall

 

Where justice is served, and unity is forged. The Town Hall is the heart of Ivori governance, where the people gather to speak their truths and ensure the scales of justice remain balanced. It is a chamber where no voice is silenced, and every soul is heard.

 

 

The Festival Grounds and Square

 

A festive people, it is deserved and warrants a perpetual fairgrounds decorate the square, perfectly fit for the coming of Keenmas.

 

 

Thus we christen anew: GOTTENTHAL

 

Gottenthal rises—a jewel of faith and fortitude, carved by the hands of the Ivori and blessed by GOD.

 

 

Location: Directly in front of lowlands pillar, follow path. Proceed with caution: minor construction still yet ongoing.

IN NOMINE DEI,

 

His Grace, Ser Atticus Keen, Princeps of Ivoria, Knight of Ivor, Protector of the Ivöri people

 

[tadabug2000 4918]

The young Lady Keen was a taskmaster of her own, directing exactly where she wished the furniture to be set in her bedroom. Her room was every little girls dream, dripping in everything pink. "Move that there! No, to the right.."

[Trenchist 864]

Fr. Elim, from the valley below, sensed a cold mountain wind wash over his bones. There again, like in ages of heroes, stood erected a spire of Saint Lucien among highland peaks.

 

He was overjoyed and booked a weekend cabin retreat.

[StingyParrot 1595]

A once-occupant of the city of Hohkmat looks upon the declaration with something of a mixed attitude, halfway between curiosity and distaste. Nevertheless, he resolves to visit the place.

[MadOne 4945]

Balthar the Black, upon taking a copy of the missive stashes it inside a satchel while he chewed on a slab of meat. Perhaps he will visit this seat of the noble Lords.
