Volume 2: Garuda, the Emerald Bastion: A Swordsfall Lorebook
Green as far as the eye can see While Garuda is the name of the entire region, in a sense it is more of a united kingdom of distinct territories than one unified mass. Foremost among these territories is the central area, which functions as the predominant seat of power in the region and home of the Karu. At the beginning of the Divine Era, there was no unified base of power in Garuda. The Karu were spread across the plains and deep into the forest in a way that isolated them from each other. The See’er hid somewhat in the sprawling Adras Mountain region, and only those who ventured toward the Great Kahali Rainforest knew of the Dihoma. Garuda is a land of green and mysteries. ------- In the beginning...
Tikor is a world where deities and spirits are as real as the nature that surrounds us. Since the earliest writings of mankind, the gods have been there alongside humanity. They are a vital part of the makeup of human societies across the globe. In a way, this is to be expected. Humans were in fact created by the gods. Various great deities created cultures of their design and ethos. As time marched forward, these various cultures and groups co-existed. Sometimes contentiously, sometimes harmoniously, but always striving to co-exist.
History, however, would change its course in a single tragic day and the horrific night that followed. Mime, the Garuda deity of Wisdom, is assassinated at the hands of an alleged Vinyatian assassin. Mortal hands had never before slain a deity. As tensions between the rival nations of Garuda and Vinyata soared under a long Tikor night, a bloody battle erupted between the two sides. A truce was called once the truth of the news surrounding the assassination was called into question, but not before irreversible damage to both sides was done.
Despite the armistice between bitter enemies, the wounds of that day will forever linger. The world heaves as the one constant, the gods themselves, waver.
A new struggle begins…

Cool lore
A great breakdown of parts of Tikor. The Karu seem really cool. Definitely interested in learning more about the Animal Kingdom.
