Welcome to Tree of Parting! This game is set at a badlands trading post.

Game Background

Founded in ancient tragedy, the Tree of Parting is a safe haven in a dangerous land. The Tree of Parting is considered by many to be one of the Wonders of the Wold. It is known far and wide for its hospitality as well as the incredible beauty of its views in all directions. From the tree, one can see Culverwood, Izen, The Red Hills, the Emerald Kingdom, and on a clear day offer a far off view of the plateaus of the Kingdom of New Elenna.

The Tree of Parting staff numbers around 25 people. There are 10 other permanent residents, of which 6-10 are present at any time. Another 10-20 individuals make up the rental population. Staying for anywhere from a month to a year before moving on, renting stalls in the tiny market or staying in the Tree for other reasons. 5-10 wagons of traders stop here each night to rest and have a safe place to stay, recover from the road, and make important repairs to wagons and other equipment. The Tree’s Inn and Tavern are large enough to cram them in, but there are times that late arrivals must bunk in the common room. Once every month or two, the main caravan stops at the Tree. This 100+ caravan easily overflow the trees capacity and forces many to remain on the ground. It was with one of these caravans that Atlas, Mack and Crosseye first came to be at the Tree of Parting.

  • Miles Raynor - Male Human, Head of Security - He and his assistant, coordinate all defense efforts for the Tree. Miles was a career officer with the Emerald Armed Forces. He explains the behavior expected of all guests of the inn, much to the consternation of Ciyradyl, who thinks it harms her hospitality. He also runs regular drills for all able-bodied residents of the Tree as everyone, “And I mean everyone,” will help defend the tree if attacked.
  • Folbre Ilyndrathyl - Male Elf Tree of Parting Manager, little else is known including his age and relationships with Ciyradyl and Hiflanyl
  • Ciyradyl Ilyndrathyl - Female Elf, Runs Treetop Tavern. Calm, pleasant and warm personality. She is highly organized and proper in her treatment of others
  • Hiflanyl Ilyndrathyl - Male Elf, Runs the warehouse and stables - He also runs the “lifts” to raise up the trade wagons into the tree and is the lead repairman for anything that needs fixed. He is a virtuoso at repairing anything. Hiflanyl has designed a stairway that circles the trunk of the tree, which can be lifted and compacted when the denizens of Izen or the Red Hills come calling. He also has several lifts that can lift anything from a pile of crates, to livestock, to an entire wagon up into the safety of the tree for the evening.
  • Ryan Mistbender, a travelling scholar and Hedge wizard who has been at the Tree for around 6 months has decided to petition to extend his stay for another year. In his mid forties perhaps, has been intrigued with what the party did in the Culverwood and would like to continue his research. Brown hair that he keeps closely cut clear blue eyes with smile lines around them from too much sun and too long over books without enough light. He is whipcord thin but moves with slow deliberace, like a man three times his weight. He is friendly with a slow drawl of the coastlands. He spends a lot of his time pouring over old manuscripts. He also does a bit of mage work for extra coin.
  • Arnos Faulk, just completed his latest collection of stories and poems, but as it took a bit longer than he thought, the elderly man has decided to ‘ride out the winter’ at Tree and then head home to Floating City. He has put that on hold as he is now writing an account of the Tree Wardens with the help of Ryan Inger. Thin almost to the point of emanciation, with a large Farungian nose, thinning hair and eyes gone light with age. He is a keen observer of humanity and prefers to sit and watch, rather than get actively involved. When he speaks his voice is a rich bass. He is the Famous author Arnos Faulk. Composer of such works as “the Orc Wiafe” “Of Dragons and Deceit” “Faulks Registry” and the classic “Cultivars” Arnos spends most of his time either in the Tavern, in his room or hanging out looking at the awesome view from the top of the Tree.
  • Ryan Inger, a travelling scholar who has been at the Tree for around 6 months has decided to petition to extend his stay for another year. In his mid forties perhaps, has been intrigued with what the party did in the Culverwood and would like to continue his research. A bespeckled man in his middle years, black hair going to grey at the temples. Blue eyes and the look of someone who would tend to fat if not for all the travelling. His ears are cauliflowered, and he has a wrestlers knot on his forehead, also called a myofascial tear. You would guess he has wrestled a lot with scars like that. for a scholar he is built more like a blacksmith than a bookworm. dressed in good quality, yet comfortably worn traveling clothes, He has a book in his hand and has writing implements in various pockets and behind his ears. He is friendly, as only years on the road and being a good researcher can make you. He is from Wedding city and has been working for the court doing research about various subjects far afield. He is well spoken and erudite.
Gaston
  • Gaston Laroutte - Human Male, wealthy noble trying to get into The Chancers Club. Boistrous, loud, extravagant and self superior. Gaston talks a good game, has good fighting skills, but is a bit full of himself. Gaston failed the test and found his courage lacking against the strange denizens of the Eastern Wood. The party sided against Gaston and he has been denied entrance to the Chancers Club. He is a nephew to Quason Thesk, Duke in Plateau City. He is hostile towards the party.

A third large sized chair is just to the side by a window looking out to the west.
