Age of Nesting Snakes

Cultural event

An age of political intrigue in which the adherents of Keidon sprung from the misgivings of the Anterosian League.   The Anterosian League was a prominent civilization comprised of many port cities located around the Inner and Crown seas.   The Age of Nesting Snakes ends with the destruction of much of the Anterosian league and other kingdoms in the Fall Interregnum. It is said that the Anterosian capital of Kyranos was swept away by the sea after a star fell in the outer sea.   This star seems to have brought with it earthquakes and tidal waves that crippled many port cities and brought about a third highwinter.

These tunnels are often completely or partially collapsed when accessed from the sewers and ancient tunnels of the Keidonian Works. Known as the 'Drifts', they are often in rough shape, having been frequently and amateurishly excavated and mined by desperate bastionfolk seeking the treasure from before the time of the veiling war.   GEOGRAPHY   The Drifts tends to be typified by claustrophobic, poorly maintained tunnels. Miasma is common, as is flooding, collapses, rickety false floors and garbage. Many of the portals into the Drift have to be climbed down, scrambled through or otherwise carefully negotiated. Slippery surfaces, flooding and even rock falls are not uncommon. These shafts often open onto holes in stout, thick-walled clay structures built on the excavated ruins of River-King era forts and structures. These buildings are often designed to allow water to flow freely between streets, alleys and sunken areas within the buildings themselves as was the taste of the River Kings.
