A nation found to the south of The Dawn Empire. Its architecture is based on Edo Period Japan. Uvam is an Anarchist Nation with many of the towns and people free to do what they want, leading to them being extremely different from one another. Long ago they all banded together under one banner and each contributed forces for a standing army. Mordecai Reverence spent a long time in the region and has a particularly dark past associated with Minatota and its de facto leader, Arwen Gryffon.

Uvam Dynasty and Ehobel share a large bridge that connects them called the Goldpass Bridge which is used for trade between the two nations.

Geography

Uvam is a relatively small nation found towards the south of the Verdant Spine. The land is known for its vibrant grass, gentle hills and maple trees, a unique feature only found in this nation.

History & Mentions

§	Interactions
Session 49	Mordecai had spoken to Drache and realised that Robert Thronwood\|Mordecai's father]] would make a great candidate for leading the military and could help them get their art/ exports into the Uvam Dynasty. Mordecai explained that after a rather annoying conversation, Robert agreed to help them with the military and would even sell their art to the fruit cutters on the condition that they give him a new pair of legs. It was something Mordecai hoped Halfbie could help with, since they were good at building things.
Session 38	After some travelling, they made excellent progress until they reached the old wall separating the Dawn Empire from the Uvam Dynasty. The wall was not well-maintained, with much of it severely eroded or completely missing in some areas. Most of the Dawn flags had also been taken down and replaced with the emblem of The Brotherhood Of The Sun. Seeing the symbol reminded Halfbie of Kaelis Ignithar and his promise to teach them magic. They pulled out the magic bell they had given him and rang it. The metal of the bell reshaped into a face and said, "You are currently number 698 in the queue," before switching to hold music. Halfbie suggested they should call back another time, but as they spoke, a distant, hollow toll echoed through the fog-choked air—a deep and resonant bell ringing with sorrow that clung to the bones.
Session 37	Korrigan explained to the group that they used to work together on the other side of the mountain, close to the board of the Uvam Dynasty. She must've travelled down to this forest afterwards, which would explain why they hadn't run into each other since they had been down to this region before. Sylva elaborated by saying she moved here when the Fruit Cutters cut down their tree house, which outrages Halfbie, who had wanted to go to one ever since they were little and even offered to help Sylvia get revenge. Before they knew it, they had all decided to go and get revenge, with Sylvia taking it one step further and announcing that they should kill all the fruit Cutter for all the crimes they committed. The party was less enthusiastic about this; however, it was easily convinced.
Session 36	Korrigan silently motioned his magic into a healing spirit that washed over Mordecai with a newfound sense of peace. With a quick gesture, the spirit moved over to Mordecai 's father, healing him slightly. Mordecai lamented that even with this matter resolved, neither he nor his mother could ever return home. There was simply too much pain and distrust for him to do so. Korrigan 's hand now rested on Mordecai 's other shoulder, "You know, Uvam Dynasty may not be your home anymore, but that's okay because home is just a place where you are comfortable. Once upon a time, my home was probably Lost Haven, and now it's some temple in a mysterious forest.
Session 35	As the party made their way to the border between Farpost and the Uvam Dynasty, they met a fleet of soldiers guarding the wall. They paused, minds racing on how they were going to get past them again, knowing Mordecai's complicated history with them. Chenris' dying words swirled in Mordecai's mind as they were finally confronted by their past. How could he save others from their sadness when all he did was run from his own? Impulsively, the Tiefling raised their crimson fingertips to unhook their cloak from over their horns, the sun reflecting off their jewellery like flames coiling through their dark hair. Within seconds, arrows soared through the air. Green vials of sedatives plunged into the necks of our heroes, bringing with them the murky darkness of their consciousness leaving them.
Session 33	They explained that they were holding a funeral for their friend Karnal, who had recently been killed by an orc called Wartooth. Karnal had been everywhere in The Amber Realms, "from Fort Moldan to Ember Peak and the Broken Ember Throne," impressing everyone. they then revealed that Karnal had been involved in many of the world's recent events, including The War for the OFC's Freedom, and even joined the hunt for a missing Tiefling in the Uvam Dynasty with the Fruit Cutters[^6]. Seeing that it was getting a bit late, The Party excused themselves, not before promising to get revenge for them if they ever ran into Wartooth on their travels. Before leaving, drache performed a funeral rite for them and sent the Karnal's soul to Feywilds as he felt that this would be the best place for a person who loves adventure.
Session 26	The Party are getting ready to leave Blackwall, Wurinn Fuuldrusch decides it would be best for him to scout the area out ahead of time and to meet him in Yakawa when they can make it. The group decided on their travel plans for the next few days and decided it would be best to check out The All-Father Temple since it is on the way and could have a lot of information about the Gods and Terathra. Since they have to go through Whitespire, they should also take some time to investigate The Pyramid that was summoned during The War for the OFC's Freedom. They also say that if they have the time, they would want to check out Dawnhaven to look into the strange disappearance of Galen Verix ‡. Kal The Korrigan † also suggests walking along the Verdant Spine when they travel down to the Uvam Dynasty so they can further investigate the Wyvern Cave if they're not in a rush. They head off pretty soon after this and have a very good time.
Session 26	Mordecai and Chenris decide to see what the priest of Ignatius is like. This room is full of fire brazers, torches and other flame iconography. They find the priest waiting for them and gives them a warm greeting. Mordecai asks if he sees many visitors. He explains that he doesn't get a lot from The Dawn Empire but he does get a handful from Ehobel, the OFC. Uvam Dynasty, the islands to the northeast and lot from The Desert. He assumes The Sundering is a bit too fresh in the minds of the humans.
Session 25	Reaching Dawnhaven, he was confronted by the same sight as Chenris Tallfellow ‡, Mordecai Reverence and Kal The Korrigan † with robbed cultists surrounding the city and thick purple mist blanketing the area. However, the party was nowhere to be seen and time did not unfreeze. Sighing deeply, Aidan followed the path back to the Farpost and to his surprise, he encountered the party travelling along the road, however, time did not unfreeze and the mist carried on past them into the Uvam Dynasty. This left Aidan confused since the last time this happened, time resumed once he rejoined the group, perhaps his objective was different this time? Before he left the party he wrote a quick note: "I'm stuck frozen in time, currently following a black mist going to Farpost and beyond". With that, he carried on into Uvam.
Session 24	Mordecai Reverence was desperate to leave Yakawa (and the Uvam Dynasty) as soon as possible and urged Chenris Tallfellow ‡ and Kal The Korrigan † to pack their belongings quickly so they could leave by the next morning. The morning they set to leave, Mordecai has a quick conversation with Emmeline. They use Cure Wounds to help her healing speed up and say, "Drache is quite possibly one of the last genuinely good men in this world, and if anything were to happen to him, then I have no idea what we could do. Please keep him safe while we're gone"
Session 23	Chenris Tallfellow ‡ suggests finding an Inn or Adventurers Guild to rest and discuss the rest of their plan. Mordecai then remembers where he is, and with a nervous look starts to disguise himself so he isn't recognised by the locals. As they are entering the town, they walk past Drache's dirt drawing, it's not very good but Mordecai tries to encourage him by making up artist nonsense. Drache says "I'm glad you can understand it because I definitely can't!" As he starts to laugh heartily. Now with some more time on their hands, Chenris examines Korrigan's wound and explains that the disease is definitely curable and is fine for now, but if left unchecked then he could turn into a zombie. Korrigan admits he has a weird craving for brains, turning to Drache, as his stomach starts to growl. Drache exclaims there isn't much up in his head, but Chenris on the other hand would be a lot tastier. Chenris fearfully grips his head, stating "My cranium will stay firmly uneaten, thank you very much". Mordecai and Drache fashioned a muzzle from some rope and put it on Korrigan as a precaution.
Session 22	Annoyed that his authority was being challenged he replied, "No, I'm no longer with them anymore, I'm refusing with my own free will." This revelation shocked them into silence before Korrigan asked if he could at least tell them about Ebis Daro or Akin Netch ‡. However, his question is cut short by Xekai his face becomes twisted with rage at the mention of his previous faction's founder. When Korrigan tried to understand the source of the man's anger he simply opened a portal to a place Mordecai and Chenris recognised as the Uvam Dynasty. Simply stating "To save you the travel, now go" Chenris ventured to the portal, thanking him one last time for the help before crossing over. He was soon joined by the rest of The Party as they stood just outside Yakawa, Drache waiting for them in the distance.
Session 21	There are no guards at the walls, so they're able to go straight to the tavern. The door to the tavern is broken and they can hear people inside talking. Mordecai and Korrigan decide to eavesdrop on the convocation. The people are talking about sharpening their weapons and getting ready for something. Mordecai puts his ear to the door and and accidentally falls into the tavern. As soon as this happens, he pretends to be really drunk and one of the men looks at their sword before saying that he'll take them back to their house. Mordecai explains he isn't local and is from Uvam Dynasty. Carrying on, he explains that he is a person of many homes. The man thinks this means he is homeless. Mordecai denies this and explains that he travels all over and accidentally mentions the OFC and man seems shocked as they apparently don't see many OFC folk around anymore with The Pyramid.
Session 20	The Party are getting ready to leave Blackwall, Wurinn Fuuldrusch decides it would be best for him to scout the area out ahead of time and to meet him in Yakawa when they can make it. The group decided on their travel plans for the next few days and decided it would be best to check out The All-Father Temple since it is on the way and could have a lot of information about the Gods and Terathra. Since they have to go through Whitespire, they should also take some time to investigate The Pyramid that was summoned during The War for the OFC's Freedom. They also say that if they have the time, they would want to check out Dawnhaven to look into the strange disappearance of Galen Verix ‡. Kal The Korrigan † also suggests walking along the Verdant Spine when they travel down to the Uvam Dynasty so they can further investigate the Wyvern Cave if they're not in a rush. They head off pretty soon after this and have a very good time.

He assumes The Sundering is a bit too fresh in the minds of the humans.
Session 19	According to Steve Azel † was being very racist, like normal, so Steve just killed him and locked the rest of his, now angry, followers in a room with members of other races because steve heard a theory where you can use exposure therapy to help people understand. so he locked them in a room with a goblin, Dragonborn, elf and Tiefling. he called "exposure therapy". The Party, now concerned about the morals of the situation ask what are all the people doing here and they apart of a new cult now. Steve replies saying probably, no one is here by force in fact a lot f people are going out to other nation to spread the good word. Mordecai looks very afraid at the idea that people are going to Uvam Dynasty. HIs fears realised when Steve explained that no one had returned for Minatota and Yokotori.
Session 15	Chenris and Mordecai became spell casters in very different ways. Chenris learnt through studying and researching magic, whereas Mordecai was born with it. Because of this, Mordecai could not control his powers until he had practised a lot. But before that, he was a child with no control, and when he was first tapped into his magic, he accidentally cast a fireball in his family home - a very wooden house. Mordecai could escape the fire without much harm, but his family and Claribelle Reverence † weren't so lucky. Without a family or a roof over their head, Mordecai wandered the lands of Uvam Dynasty before meeting Arwen Gryffon at the Nightshade's Crown. Over time, he learn to control his powers but hid them as best he could so he couldn't hurt anyone again.
Session 08	The Party are traveling to Uvam Dynasty to try and find Terence Witherfeather to free Wurinn Fuuldrusch from his contract with the Ivory Crest. Along the way they make a stop at Dustwood. As soon as they enter the small village they are taken in by DUstwood guards to a questioning room. Through being questioned The Party find out that Steve Ulan has murdered his father Lord Ulan †. He is currently on trail and facing an almost certain death sentence. However, according to The Dawn Empire law, all known associates of the murderer involved in the murder of lord are responsible for the murder of Lord Ulan † and will also receive the same punishment.
Session 08	As The Party get closer to Uvam Dynasty, Mordecai Reverence, learning from Chenris Tallfellow ‡ and Drache's mistakes, confesses to being wanted in Uvam Dynasty and in particular the town Minatota where people have mentioned seeing Terence Witherfeather. Mordecai reluctantly agrees and The Party enter Uvam Dynasty and find their way to Minatota.
