Guardians of Grundagar

The Guardians of Grundagar are a group of adventurers including: Viola, Andrew Pu, Phos Gi, and Magical Michael. As well as the now deceased Father Pham and Caiaphas. And even more, Ember, who was forced to return to her home island of Tuk'chu La.

Kingdoms
The Guardians of Grundagar campaign takes place on the continent of Grundagar, as well as its surrounding islands. Grundagar consists of five main kingdoms (originally six):

Oakwald
A port city on the northern coast of Grundagar. The city is surrounded by calm oak forests that house critter and beast alike. Three main roads sprout from the city, leading to Skrindlberg, Grundryn, and Tir'ak.

Tir'ak
An earthy city nestled within a natural mesa near the eastern edge of the desert. The city gains tourism from its annual gladiatorial competitions. The city itself is rather isolated, with only one main entrance and a port.

Giotuea
The decorated city of Giotuea prioritizes ornamental and organic architecture. The elf-dominant city is rich in culture and experience.

Pinecoast (destroyed)
Before the First Pinecoast Invasion and Second Pinecoast Invasion, the city was peaceful and calm. The city stood high on a hill, peering over the vast seas. Abe Lincoln was the city's president before the invasions.

Skrindlberg
A primarily dwarven city. The city hides within the western mountain ranges and the thick pine forests. The city's policies tend to dissuade immigration, so not much is known as of now.

Grundryn
The capital center of all of Grundagar. The High King of Grundryn ensures balance between the current five kingdoms. The city itself is a bustling center of politics and trade, all local cultures come to dispense their wares to locals.

Conflicts
As far as the current adventurers are aware, the two biggest threats to Grundagar are the Cult of Chaos and the Lich King. However, the party has had unfortunate encounters with the roguish Nik'bari, a malicious entity driven by deception and evil. Gioe Oaklips and Joh Oaklips are major allies in the fight against these lingering threats.

At a more political level, conflict between Giotuea and Grundryn is escalating. Economic and diplomatic disagreements have become much more physical between the two kingdoms. The other kingdoms seem to show apathy towards the situation.
