Bethos (Beth-Owes)
Overview:
Bethos is the largest country/nation in Terra Meiyer and the main location of this campaign.History:
During the Age of Peace, Bethos was considered the unofficial capital of Terra Meiyer due to its wealth, military, political connections, and overall size. However roughly 800 years ago, when the Age of War began, the entire nation of Bethos was mysteriously surrounded by giant walls. This protected the nation from attacks, but it also led to it becoming completely isolated from the rest of Terra Meiyer. For 800 years legends and rumours of what Bethos was like spread across the continent. That was until 20 years ago, when the walls began to crack. When the wall began to crack in a few different locations, people from all across Terra Meiyer came to investigate due to the nations myth-like status, however the inside of the walls was like nothing anyone had expected. When adventurers finally explored Terra Meiyer they realized one fact was certain, the country was left abandoned. While the remnants of cities, settlements and other man-made structures could be found scattered throughout the land, no signs of human life was present. On top of this, monsters and animals of all kinds had begun inhabiting Terra Meiyer, making the nation very dangerous to traverse. While this news may have upset the people of Terra Meiyer who believed in the Shangra-La esc myths about Bethos, it also become a spark of inspiration for adventures looking for a new challenge. Over the past 20 years, an arms race of sorts has been taking place in Bethos to see who can conquer this unclaimed land.Diplomacy:
During the age of Peace, the kingdom of Bethos was overseen by a royal lineage known as the Bethos family. This family ruled the prosperous kingdom for decades before the nation was cut off from Terra Meiyer. In modern day, the nation is split into multiple regions that control different sections of Terra Meiyer.Current Regions:
- Region of Vei'on
- Region of Bethauna
- Region of Morah
- Region of Deorum
- Sephith's Wastland
- No Man's land
Previous Regions:
- Kingdom of Sephith
Geography:
Bethos is both the largest and the most northern nation in Terra Meiyer. The kingdom is large enough to include multiple biomes, including woodlands, desserts, snowy hills, and more. Besides the southern border, Bethos is surrounded by treacherous ocean making it difficult to enter from any other side. The elevation of Bethos is also far above sea level, forming dangerously steep cliffs along the east, north, and west borders of the nation. This evevation increases in the northern parts of Bethos making the cliffs even more dangerous. In the modern day the nation is blocked off from the rest of Terra Meiyer by a wall that runs along the nations border, however, over time cracks have formed in the wall allowing adventurers to enter. In these walls, the ruins of many old cities that were destroyed with time can be found, along with many newly created and/or restored cities.Points of Interest:
