1.5 - EXTRA! The fall of the Mathosian Empire

The following is an account of proclamations made in Mathosia during the final months of the kingdom.   Recorded in chronological order, they illustrate the fall of the Mathosian Empire and the decent of King Aedraxis into madness.


The kingdom of Mathosia mourns the death of its wise and benevolent sovereign, Joster Mathos.  May he forever sit at Thedeor’s side in the Halls of the Righteous! 

King Joster leaves behind two sons; King Aedraxis Mathos, who was crowned as our new exalted leader the eve after his father’s passing, and Prince Zareph Mathos, who rules over the great eastern city of Port Scion.  The King also leaves behind a single bastard son, Carwin Mathos.


People of Mathosia rejoice!  In this dark hour, let your hearts be lifted by the coming of our new sovereign, Aedraxis Mathos.  Though deeply saddened by the loss of his father, King Joster, Prince Aedraxis nobly took up the crown the following evening in a grand ceremony.

King Aedraxis proclaimed that his reign shall bring forth a new, prosperous era for Mathosia.  His desire is for our Kingdom to unbind itself from the constraints of the past, so that we may embrace the future.  All Hail King Aedraxis Mathos, may he live for a thousand years!

A proclamation to the People of Mathosia from his most benevolent highness:

Be it resolved that I, King Aedraxis Mathos, do now make lawful the practice of technomancy and the ownership of related equipment within the kingdom of Mathosia.

Additionally, any citizen found guilty of speaking out against me or my methods shall be executed for treason.  My Mathosian Knights shall be granted the final ruling for all such proceedings.

His Exalted Highness,
King Aedraxis Mathos.

People of Mathosia, we have been led astray.  The King promised us prosperity, but what we got was devastation and oppression.  King Aedraxis would have us forsake the gods and instead turn to planar demons and unholy technology.  We cannot stand idly by and let our great kingdom fall from grace.

A united army of Telarans who would put a stop to this madness once and for all is assembling at Thedeor Fields, outside the town of Ardenburgh.  We welcome all who would join us there.  Together we shale become the guardians of Mathosia!
