Cities

Here we will show the maps of the kingdoms, duchies and lands throughout each of the ages.

SINGLEBLADE HIVE

Noted as creatures that seem to resemble larger ThriKreen with extremely well muscled torso's and bright white dragon bone like carapace. They are distinct in the fact that their left or right arm grows a single long blade that is said to be unbreakable even by magic, the forearm is encased in this thick dragon bone like carapace and at the back vents can be seen allowing for the air to travel right through the forearm. We believe in the modern era, that this is where the nickname of Screaming Blade came from for the first ThriKreen king.

LONGBRAIN HIVE

A hive most noteably used as an intelligence hive amongst the kings ruling caste. It is believed that this hive, though known for its massive size, is extremely fragile as the majority of their body is a single brain. Allowing for the creatures to both craft and invent at amazing speeds, although they are noted as having extremely high magical potentcy, the creatures themselves do not have any natural magic that they seem to know.

VULTURE CLAW HIVE

Noted as the densest and strongest of the first age hives, the creatures seem to be more closely related to more modern deep underdark variants of the species. The Vulture Claw hive was noted for its large pincer that it would use to break through iron and bronze armor. It was also noted that the claw could be fully extended and used as a sword of sorts that would puncture and pull into the creature. It is also noted that the most prominent of the clan have the largest vulture claws and the darkest of carapace. It is also believed that this hive specifically specialized in armor as the carapace seemed to be made of a natural dark iron like metal that sucked in all the light from around the creatures.

DEEP HEAT HIVE

A hive noted specifically for its beetle like appearance, and its love for nesting near extreme heat sources. Believed to consume the magma from the earth, the creatures seem to enjoy digging deep within the crust of the world to find these large heat sources. Though many have been seen hunting other creatures in the areas such as deep dragons, fire elementals and the occassional primitive proto-fiend. This hive specializes in metal item crafting and processing, and seems to collect gemstones all over their bodies as they dig. Creating many bright and shiny armor sets that with time are just naturally peeled away from the Deep Heat ThriKreen during there molting season.

WORM RAVAGER HIVE

Known to share common ancestry with a Purple Worms, these ThriKreen have adapted from eating, hunting and domesticating the species to a certain degree deep within the ThriKreen mountains. Considered the most dangerous of the clans for their extreme focus on the warrior like customs of raiding, attacking, and looting. The Worm Ravager hive seems to be the only ThriKreen that stay above the underdark and within the large mountain ranges. Creating massive holes in the mountains with intricate paths all throughout their hive. These ThriKreen seem to make up the bulk of the species population in the first age.

Nobility

Here we shall discuss notable noble houses through the time periods.

Clack-Uhrack "The Screaming Blade" of Hive Singleblade

Known as the first ThriKreen to develop wings amongst the many clans, his rule seemed ordained from the start. Upon the hatching of Clack-Uhrack it is stated that a large meteor could be spotted in the sky glowing a bright purple and signaling the coming of a great king to the thri-kreen queens. Appearing with a purple metal like carapace, Clack-Uhrack would continue to grow in strength as the years went on. Being gifted in the roguish arts and psionic magic, Clack-Uhrack would gain his name by slaying a rogue elder brain dragon who would attempt to take over his hive once having broken free from Zebrel's control. The young warrior proved his ability and was recognized by the other hives one by one after that as each refused to send a warrior to challenge his dominance. The young king was gifted his title and full control of the hive through his five main queens, creating a power structure that allowed for lesser queens to flourish and hives to specialize. It is believed that Clack-Uhrack, even now in his mid years, will continue to accomplish even greater deeds of glory. As his many hives grow, and the hunger for new industry and farm lands increases, Clack-Uhrack is left with no choice but to go to war in the first age. Many have noted his natural hatred for elder brain dragons after what he saw the creatures could do, but with hordes of enemies at his border, the ThriKreen king finds himself surrounded by enemies.

Current and Past Wars

Here we shall discuss the notable wars for each period and who they were against.

The Colored Feast Wars

A war that was more of a collection of individual conflicts as the ThriKreen made quick work of the Seji "The Pseudotroll" Nomadic Horde. The war was said to begin at The Great Hunger and end long before spring had even taken hold. As the Worm Ravager Hive led the charge, Seji was said to gather the majority of his fighting force to meet the massive hive. With the help of the Cryptic Kabal, it is said the army held for a day. Soon after breaking as the ThriKreen overwhelmed there ranks, chasing the retreating troops into there own forests to be hunted like wild beasts. Not soon after, it is said that even the Cryptic Kabal was cornered and a majority of them killed facing the enemy general. Though standing valiantly to hold back the vanguard and elite forces of the ThriKreen. It can only be said that there sacrifice delayed the inevitable as the Nomadic Horde fell shortly after sunset the same day. The continued conflicts would see other small troll settlements overran and devoured. Eventually by the end of the same month that the war had begun, it is said the war would finish. The trolls left without a homeland, and the former lands now granted to the massive ThriKreen invading force. It is currently believed that nearly twenty other large hives have sprung up in the fallen territory, specializing in hunting down both magic users and underwater nations.

The King War

With the fall of Clack-Uhrack "The Screaming Blade" of Hive Singleblade during The Colored Feast Wars. It is believed that High Queen Tal'al of Hive Singleblade and the other notable nobles would find themselves overwhelmed by a new force. A hive said to arise from the border of the previously owned Nomadic Horde and the Toth Covenant. Specializing in hunting down pseudotrolls, this new clan calling themselves Belasti'Matide or in common "Hive's of the Sea". Was said to have managed to wipe out the Singleblade hive in a single month, taking the royal guard, larvae and queens for themselves. There leader who is still unknown, is said to have then spent another week wiping out each of the hives as he traversed the underdark waters. The King War was declared by The Swords of Pyrus as they met with this individual Thri-King. Declaring him equal to some of the greatest casters to walk this worlds planes.

Coins

Here we shall find how the coins look, what materials they are made of, and what the value of the coins are on the overall market.

DIAMOND CROWNS = Green Coins

The first coin that replaced the common platinum that the dragons used for its shininess. Giants though, are not dragons, thus the more common material of liquid diamonds would be harvested from the cores of the volcanoes in the heart of the magma as it was believed. This material would be farmed to make coins and other magical items.

RUBY VOLCANOS = Yellow Coins

Believed to be equivalent to the gold piece commonly used by the lesser nations including dragons. Thus the Jotun-Modr pioneered the coin in the shape of their homeland to be used by those sworn to them. These simple coins are individually 5cm by 5cm like the other coins, however it is clear and seems to sparkle from its craftsmanship only possible by the Jotun-Modr who individually made each coin.

SAPPHIRE HILLS = Blue Coins

Sapphire hills were thinner coins due to there higher rarity, though most giants valued sapphires less then rubies and only slightly more then emeralds. Thus most recognized this simple hill drawn with sheep grazing into the individual sapphires as a silver coin.

EMERALD PLAINS = Red coins

Lastly and most common in the Jotun-Modr volcanos were emeralds. As the material was farmed simply from their individual Rok-heap herds. Thus simple grass would be carved into the coins as apprentices practiced there arts on the coins.
Troll understanding

GREEN COINS = Diamond Crowns

Known for being the best, these coins are made from colorium and imprinted with the troll gods upon them. These are considered equal to a platinum piece.

YELLOW COINS = Ruby Volcanos

Known as the wealthiest coin, these are equivalent to gold coins in the modern era, and can be found in large stacks or treasure sacks that the Trolls carry around. Each one can be found with the individual smiths face stamped onto it that made the coin.

BLUE COINS = Sapphire Hills

Known as the lucky coins and equal to a silver piece. Another coin that is rarely found, as many trolls prefer to melt it down into a fine paint and use it to make their gear luckier.

RED COINS = Emerald plains

Considered to be equal to copper pieces, most trolls will not trade red coins and instead use it to melt down and put it into the gear that they make. Giving many of their items speed enhancements.
