Streithbury Rough

History
The area of Streithbury Rough plays a critical role in the history of Pondaera. 4500 years ago, when the seven races had been seeded by the divines. Holelaw, the god of charm, chaos and madness, who had been a critical part of the development of the races, continued to create increasingly destructive and maddening beings. It was decided by the others that he should be imprisoned until the anvils of creation rang again. They understood, they would need him if they sought to repopulate the planet at some point.

This prison remained buried beneath the snowy remote plains of Streithbury Rough until 4716 when Malefon rang one of the anvil's of creation. This shattered the prison and Holelaw himself became became shard and aspects across the Rough. This also created cataclysmic earthquakes and shockwaves that leveled every city and village except for Snowberry, which very nearly collapsed as well.

This was brought to an end by a prophesied group of heroes called the Champions of Snowberry. This group was made up of Sherem and Stasi of the Uk'do tribe and Jackal of the Foxtail tribe. These were humans, nomads in the rough, who lost their people. There was Morris, a halfling bard who made his living as an entertainer and merchant among the dwarfs, until he was pierced by a shard of the mad god. There was Brinja, the dwarf miner and soldier, with a divine bless. Last, there was Mavieth, a half giant, whose parents brought him to the mountains and taught him about caring for the earth, not knowing the full extent of what would happen to him.
