Featured article<choose> <option> Istrian CalendarThe Istrian calendar is divided into eight months, each of which is subdivided into units called degrees. Each month is characterized by the movement of Istria's suns Chende and Atlo in the sky from the perspective of observers on Istria. Here is a summary of the months in chronological order, listing their names and the apparent movements of the suns from observers in each hemisphere. read more...</option> <option> History of IstriaThe First AgeBefore Istria existed, the Material Plane was an empty void, between the Elemental Chaos and the Astral Sea. Rivulets of pure essence meandered through the Elemental Chaos and coalesced into an enormous sphere of raw elemental energy, and this sphere became Istria. The Second AgeCenturies ago, the world was divided into two great empires: the tiefling empire of Bael Turath in the east, and the dragonborn empire of Arkhosia in the west. However, both empires fell in the War of Ruin when they destroyed each other. The Third AgeAfter much strife, the world was united by the human empire of Nerath. Many of the civilized races of the world were joined together by this dynasty, and flourished in this new age. After centuries of rule, Nerath crumbled just like the empires before it. The Dark AgeIstria now sits in a dark age, waiting for another empire to rise to power. read more...</option> <option> Astronomy of IstriaThe unique astronomy of Istria is by far its most defining feature. Istria's solar system is binary - it orbits two suns, Chende and Atlo. This bizarre orbital pattern has an incredible important effect on the climate of Istria. Though there are no other known planets in the Istrian system, Istria itself is orbited by three moons – Anaki, Konli, and Fikin – and has a planetary ring Istria's OrbitIstria's orbits these suns in the shape of a figure eight, meaning that during one half of its orbit, it orbits around Chende and during the other it orbits around Atlo. In addition, Istria orbits its suns in such a way that its axis of rotation is always pointing directly towards the center of the nearest sun, as illustrated in this diagram:
</option> <option> GloomwroughtAcross the entire Shadowfell, no city is larger than Gloomwrought. Prince Rolan, the Deathless, a somber human nobleman, is lord of the city. Power resides in the hands of decadent and disinterested merchant nobles, secret societies, and the mysterious beings known as the Keepers.
</option> <option> K'ArtanyikA thri-kreen fighter, K'Artanyik (born 210 DA) is naturally inclined to work and fight as a part of a larger unit rather than by himself. In thri-kreen society, this would mean that K'Artanyik would do everything with his clutch- those other thri-kreen which are the same age as K'Artanyik. K'Artanyik, whose name in Thri-kreen means "Storm of the Searing Sands", has spent his entire life within the Desert of Bleached Bone.
</option> <option> Claudiu IonelClaudiu Ionel (born 18 DA) is a vryloka vampire. Claudiu was one of many children, and he always had to fight for power and influence with his siblings. He was raised among a secret society of vryloka living in Custon, the Order of the Crimson Rose, and it was there that he was able to put his ambitious talents to good use. His aspirations for control lent themselves well to the elaborate power games the vryloka played in secret among the politics of Custon. However, this was not enough for Claudiu.
