Colin Tabor - The Fall of Ossard

Vassini, Benefice Gian – The head of the Church of Baimiopia in Ossard, see Benefice Gian Vassini.

Velsana – The isolated ancestral homeland of the Lae Velsanans, and the site of Ansilsae, the barren coastal plain that hosted the apocalyptic battle that gave birth to the Ansilsae Prophecy.

The Lae Velsanans were forced from their home as part of that prophecy, and now the Kinreda priesthood preach that it remains hidden by the gods, waiting for the Fifth and Final Dominion to rise and rediscover it. Once reclaimed, it will host the eternal capital.

The island continent is thought to be situated to the west of Dormetia, abandoned and laying fallow. The most ancient texts of the Lae Velsanans show it to be an island continent divided into five regions.

Wairanir – The large island that holds the Core of Lae Wair-Rae, the Fifth and Final Dominion, in its south-eastern corner.

White Sea – The sea to the north of Ossard and the Northcountry, often laden with drifting ice and haunted by savage winter storms.

Witches’ Kiss – The casual term used by the Inquisition to denote someone who is succumbing to some kind of magical awakening.

Yamere – A great pillar-city of outstanding beauty, and current capital of the Fifth and Final Dominion.
