Cryxian
Over time, as wars consumed western Immoren and great
civilizations rose and fell, countless people were driven from
their former homes. Many of these refugees sought shelter
in the far corners of the continent, and a great number fled
west to the Scharde Islands. The people living there today are
thought to be the descendants of those who once hailed from
Morrdh, Tordor, and Thuria, as well as those once counted
among the Molgur.
Cryx is an unforgiving land surrounded by tempestuous seas, plagued by the corrupting blight of the great dragon Toruk, and infested with legions of the Dragonfather’s undead minions. Life is cheap in the Nightmare Empire, and its inhabitants are forced to fight for every paltry scrap.
Over time, Toruk’s powerful blight has seeped into every part of the Scharde Islands, transforming the people and the land. The generations spawned by the survivors of Toruk’s arrival and the rise of Cryx have been irrevocably tainted by the presence of the Dragonfather. These people, now called the Scharde, are easily recognized by their ritual scars, tattoos, and bone piercings. Some, however, bear the taint of draconic blight more obviously. Solid-black eyes, razor-sharp teeth, scaled skin, and other deformations are common among Cryx’s inhabitants. Even the less blatantly corrupted have been influenced by the dragon’s proximity, and the Scharde are largely a cruel and violent people.
Scharde names are derived primarily from those of other cultures, but some drift has occurred, with harsher-sounding additions reflecting the brutal lives led by Cryx’s human population.
