Name: Igrod (AKA Supreme Dvor) Origin: Vega/Cyadrutin, Cyad Confederacy Igrod (named by Lord Tiberio Claudio Scalani) is the artificial intelligence entity which controls the entire Cyad Confederacy via the Command Grid.

DERMANSHIEL Dermanshiel is the name of a vast subterranean complex located in the permanently frozen northern region of Malvania.  The original system of caverns and tunnels has been added to over the millennia as the population increased.  It was originally occupied by a group of rebel sorcerers, breaking away from the restrictive practices of their home enclaves. Over the centuries, the population dwindled.  With the founding of newer enclaves in less hostile locations, a gradual exodus occurred.  Only a few determined archivists kept the place open until it was rediscovered by Lady Anwyn Menehari.  Following her discovery, Lord Claudio Scalani and his twin brother, the healer Emlyn Hawkins, began their explorations of the place, aided by a few enthusiastic students. It contains many books, scrolls and other historical artefacts.  It has become a place of research and contemplation.  Teachers take their students there to learn about ...
