Our peaceful island...became a warzone...and we were powerless to stop it

This story follows a member of the Damuzi, and a chaplain from Erhohen. The Damuzi girl's home, having been untouched by the blades of war, became the center of a major conflict between two world powers. Their mission? To procure a rare and valuable gem the Damuzi worship. However, they're not the only danger the Damuzi must encounter as dark forces stir within the shadows of the jungle.

INFO STACK

Spoiler: the Forbidden Isles 

The Forbidden Isles is a massive island surrounded by a plethora of smaller islands. This collection of islets and atolls are situated within the Unforgiving Seas. That sea is enclosed on either side by two continental landmasses. One being the Transient Lands, and the other being Nohodran. The island, itself, is teeming with flora and fauna that have specifically evolved to survive in its dense jungles, wide marshlands and plains, and moutainous plateaus. It is also host to a great many secrets, all of which come in the form of ruins left behind by some prior civilization.

Spoiler: the Damuzi 

The Damuzi people are the denizens of the Forbidden Isles. Their stories have foretold of their elders coming these islands as a safe haven from the violence and destruction of the waking world. Ever since their immigration to these islands, the Damuzi have not seen war. In fact, current generations of the Damuzi do not know the concept of war. And thus, are a people who value life above all else. Their culture is primarily predicated on symbiosis with the island. They believe that by being one with the island is paramount.

In such a culture where peace and symbosis is key, the men find themselves in hunter-gatherer type roles and the women find themselves in caregiver type roles. Concepts like power and authority are invested in the Tribe Elder who leads the tribe. And things like social mobility are unheard of as there were only two social classes: Tribesman and Tribe Elder. To become a Tribe Elder, you must be the oldest and have performed the Elder's Ritual.

Culture aside, architecture and art come in form of a fusion between ancient Mesopotamia and pre-colonial America. Permanant settlements are fashioned in the same format found in Mesopotamian architecture whereas temporary settlements, are fashioned in the same way as the teepees found on the Great Plains. They have built larger, more long-lasting, structures. These megastructures were emplaced when the Damuzi first settled here, and have since become meccas for worship and sociality.

On the topic of religion, the Damuzi believe in the god Ama-sin. According to oral tradition, Ama-sin blessed their forefathers with safe passage to the island and gifted them a precious gem that was infused with his divine power. This gem, Anu-Hadis, acts as the centerfold for all worship. There are spirits and entities that stem from Ama-sin, but the majority of those spirits and entities are nature-based and represent the various aspects of it. There are only a handful entities that are not nature-based, and the Damuzi often avoid talking about them as they go against the established order made by Ama-sin.

Spoiler: the Threats from Beyond our Shores 

The United Kingdom of Nynmark is the first of two Expeditionary Forces seeking out the island. Its people, the Nynites, hail from the Transient Lands and have characteristically black apparel. They're a variably advanced kingdom having developed prototype firearms, and artillery ordinances. Although they still rely on a swords and shields. But, their mission is fairly straightforward: They want to claim the island and its resources for themselves in a growing war with the people of Erhohen.

The Exalted Magocracy of Erhohen runs parallel to Nynmark in its mission. However, the difference with Erhohen is that they believe the power to be a blight on the world. As such, they seek to destroy the source of the power, hoping that by destroying the source, Nynmark does not get an edge out on them. This is because Erhohen is a sword and sorcery type of state with its leadership being delegated to powerful wizards whose magic is subject to many rumors and speculations.

[GodlyD&D]

I might need help for using the character sheet referenced. Here is something I wrote that can help for what would be in it.

Ildapan is a twenty-eight year old man serving as chaplain among the forces of Erhohen at the start of this account. He is distinct from all others he is with in having descent from Damuzi through his mother, who was a child produced from an earlier Erhohen explorer and a young Damuzi woman at that time who assisted and guided the Erhohen explorer, who returned to the Magocracy of Erhohen along with valuable plants that were useful for new seasonings and medicine he brought the young Damuzi woman with him, and they worked together in the Magocracy of Erhohen, and after coming close in relationship they wed.

The girl born to them, Sinsilitees, became the mother of Ildapan, and she raised him with knowledge about her people and many of their ways, along with some values from them.

Ildapan grew up to be a handsome young man. There were girls attracted to go with him, but his values clashed with their expectations, and none of them continued with him long.

Ildapan grew practiced at ways of hand to hand combat. But though he continued with much of what he learned from his mother, he took to following the ways of Hylax in his faith, like others in the Magocracy of Erhohen. With his improving abilities, he was guided to the military training. But for his sensitive knowledge and discipline, in his faith, he was directed to the path in which he became chaplain in the forces.

Ildapan has dark brown head hair, growing straight with slight waves, and light tan skin. He is athletic in appearance with strong arms, legs, and feet. He can climb much better than average. He is inclined to be helpful to those needing help, whether human or even other than that.

[Dire Hoef]

I'm happily willing to answer any and all questions. Do ask away!

Also this character has a lot of things going for it, the idea that he's not from the native island but his mother is is an interesting spin. Plus it characterizes the Magocracy.

[GodlyD&D]

My issue was not knowing how I would fill in that character sheet. Perhaps it can be shown how I just write one out myself. I picked up that name from a previous thread for role-playing one had attempted, but it was dropped, so I remembered that name that could be used in here. But even with some defining it contributes I would be thinking for ways I can have correspondence to what I had described in messaging.

So the Erhohen Magocracy has some advantage over the Damuzi, but just, with supernatural power that is basically from those who are using glowing gemstones, in orbs, tips of rods or staves, or something. They probably have a bit more things of metal that can be used, but the Damuzi would not be without any megamite metal, just not so much.

Ildapan learned a lot from his mother Sinsilitees, while she was not from that island of her ancestral people, while her own mother was one of them. Ildapan is educated to be functioning well in the Erhohen Magocracy. But with his values he would not share the vision to exploit the island of the Damuzi. So when in the forces, he sees others as the chaplain there sharing advice that is never useful for exploiting that island.

[Dire Hoef]

Right, well I'll put a together a character soon. So, that should give you an example of what it should look like.

Very interesting, okay so he's got ulterior motives for being here.

[GodlyD&D]

I hope to see something for having this still go on to anything for us.

[Dire Hoef]

I am currently putting together a character! It's taking a little time, apologies for the slowdown.

Brief Biography

Idmah was an odd birth as the mother experienced a mystical event that changed the baby in ways they weren't expecting. Their baby was born with a piece of the Anu-Hadis embedded into her forehead. Thus, they believed her to be blessed by Ama-sin and gave her a very pampered upbringing. She faced little hardship, and what hardship she faced was promptly handled by both her father and brothers. Although that all changed when she became an adult and realized that her mother and father were expecting her to find a mate. Instead, she found herself at one of the meccas of the Damuzi, Shalanum. There, she had a vision of the future and her role to play in it. Thus she devoted her life to understanding the Anu-Hadis and what she had to do with it. However, that devotion had turned into an obsession when the outlanders arrived.
