I want you to know. You are going to lose. You are going to lose badly. You’re going to lose badly and it’s going to be awesome.
Once in the far history of the Amazons they were one people led by Queen Allara who united the tribes under her silver banner. She then conquered Earth, Sky and Underground Fires by marrying the gods of those domains, becoming a goddess herself. After her ascension, she gave the mortal tribe to her sister Ellen, who took the name Argentix Ellen. Ellen named her daughter Argentix Carnax, who was followed by Argentix Revenex and Argentix Cassandra. And for those generations the Amazons were one tribe.
This changed when Argentix Cassandra gave birth to identical quadruplets. She named each of them after a hero. Argentix Revenex after her mother. Argentix Axel after the first Amazon matriarch. Argentix Uluxis after the mother of Ellen and Allara. Argentix Exalia after the greatest warrior of her time. Unfortunately Argentix Cassandra died in childbirth trying to bring forth a useless son. Her four daughters were too young to rule themselves and nobody remembered which one was the oldest. As such the four children were each taken by a regent.
Cassandra’s sister Thea took Revenex South and was the first to claim her charge to be the rightful queen of the amazones. Starting the Line of Revenex from which the Great Matriarchs of the South arose. The current Great Matriarch being Revenex Esma.
Back in the capital, high priestess Ferrus Marrax could not abide by the queen’s sister’s proclamations and crowned Exalia as the true queen. Starting the Line of Exalia from which the Great Matriarchs of the West arose. The current Great Matriarch being Exalia Elvira whose younger sister Exalia Lana is the current High Priestess.
As the two factions battled, the great general Giandra Exalia saw her chance. She took Argentix Axel and rushed north to join with her warriors. Giandra Exalia proclaimed Axel the true queen, over the girl named after her. Starting the Line of Axel from which the Great Matriarchs of the North arose. The Northern Matriarchs have since gone extinct, the last to hold the title being Axel Maxaria.
After a decade of war, a faction arose around those tired of war. They planned a coup against the three warring factions, using the fourth daughter Uluxis as a rallying point. Uluxis learned of these plans and saw them for the folly they were. Instead the 14 year old girl talked to the leader of the faction, who is only known as the Red Stewardess in our histories. Uluxis and the Red Stewardess instead gathered their faction and supporters and traveled East. They settled their new tribe on unclaimed land and Uluxis disregarded the title queen, calling herself the Great Matriarch of the East, starting the Line of Uluxis. In time the children of the other queens would also adopt this style, retiring the office of queen as belonging only to the goddess Queen Allara. The current Great Matriarch of the East is Uluxis Evanlyn, though she shares her rule with her twin sister Uluxis Cassandra.
The region of Amazonia is to the east of the Eastern Desert and is inhabited by an empire of warrior women. While male amazons are weak and barely sentient creatures, female amazons are among the most naturally strong races. As such they ended many of the other races around them to conquer most of their side of the continent. Though they ran into an obstacle when trying to expand west. The Centaurs and Goblinoids banded together to beat them back. The three groups came together and made a treaty that forbade the amazons from expanding further west. The treaty has held to this day. Now having to look inward, many civil wars followed as the tribe split into four. Though the North has since been conquered.
The Dividing Mountains
The dividing mountains is the great mountain ridge that divides the Amazon heartland from the Grasses and Deserts. The mountain itself still has a few entrances into the underdark where Orogs are especially common, as their ancestors were driven underground by the amazons. The dividing mountains is also home to the great castle-city of High Elmax which is built between the peaks and plateaus. This city serves as a capital for the Western Amazons.
The Cradle
The area known as the Cradle lays on the western bank of the Amazonian Bay. It is said that this is where amazons first evolved. It is home to the river Northbend which splits the Cradle. At the river’s mouth lays the ancient ruin of Eranax. This ruin was claimed by the Western Amazons and turned into a thriving trading town.
Darixu
Darixu is a giant city that lies on the border of the Cradle and the Horn and was declared neutral for all time. This neutrality is guaranteed by the High Priest of Queen Allara, who rules the city from the great Purple Palace of Londercil, a palace so large that the entirety of Port-au-Vin could fit within it. Many of the formerly Northern Amazons now live within the city since they no longer have a tribe outside it.
The Horn
The Horn is the fertile land at the eastern bank of the Amazonian Bay, watered by the Sprawlers. It was firmly in the hands of the Northern Amazons who held the land from their capital of Kosex. But over the centuries, continuous invasions from the south beared fruit when the Southern Amazons captured Xenosis and built a great fortress there. Now being established in the Horn, it wasn’t long before they took most of the land. Eventually even Kosex fell. It was renamed to Prized Kosex and became a symbol of Southern power. On the eastern coast of the Horn is the small port city of Mylaxu, which is the final foothold of the Eastern Amazons on the mainland. Mylaxu has been seiged seventeen times, but has never fallen as the Eastern Amazons’ strong navy kept it well supplied.
Bay Isles
The Bay Isles are two islands in the Amazonian Bay that belonged to the Northern Amazons. They were ruled from the city of Xanta, and were the last hold-outs in the war against the Southern Amazons. History differs on how the islands fell into the hands of the Western Amazons. Western Amazons claim Xanta willingly joined them. Southern Amazons claim that the Western Amazons invaded the islands to make sure they didn’t fall in Southern hands. The truth is probably that there was a faction that invited the Western Amazons, and a faction that rebelled against their new rulers.
The Grasses
The Grasses are the lands south of the dividing mountains. They were once firmly in the hands of the Southern Amazons who ruled them from their capital of Xentol. They also established the wealthiest city of the Amazons in the trading town of Benerix by the Delta. When the Northern and Southern Amazons’ conflict boiled over the mountains, the Western Amazons, together with hobgoblin mercenaries, captured the land around the Great Rush, including the city of Oxilon. Building up Oxilon, it now takes much of the trade that used to go to Benerix by the Delta, as western merchants don’t need to cross the Merrow Straight.
The Straight of Sirens
The Straight of Sirens is a hazardous water that separates the Sea of Thieves from Oldwaters. The only people that cross it freely are those protected by the Eastern Amazons as they have an understanding with the sirens who make the waters their home. The Eastern Amazons have set up their capital on New Myxal on the island of the Gate that lays on the southern edge of the straight. They have also build a trade town named Alderxia Dax on a small island off the coast of Kumaros.
Kentaurus and Gobtown
Kentaurus and Gobtown are the two cities in the Eastern Desert that illustrate the furthest west that the Amazons are allowed to conquer according to their treaties. Kentaurus is a great encampment of tents and holy sites occupied by the desert centaur. The only real city of the nomadic race. Gobtown is believed to be the place where goblinoids spawned into Materia from their origins in the feywild. It is ruled by the Hobgoblin Grand General and is home to Goblins, Hobgoblins and Bugbears.
The Great Isle of Scorpions
The Great isle of Scorpions is an island where anthropods rule. The waters are filled with sea scorpions, great centipedes and giant ant colonies dot the island. The sky is home to huge dragonflies. But most impressive are the humanoid scorpion race known as the Tlincalli. They do not build, they only forge weapons from metals they find on shipwrecked peoples. The only exception are the great nesting grounds of Aqrabuamela, where most of their eggs are hatched.
The Merrow Straight
The Merrow Straight is the straight between Amazonia and the Great Isle of Scorpions. It is home to a race of merfolk known as the merrow who have frustrated any serious attempt by the Southern Amazons to build up a fleet.
Zombieland
Zombieland was once an island paradise where many races from east and west came together. It was ruled by a race called the tall elves, who were 7 to 8 foot tall. Unfortunately for the island, a plague spread across the island that brought the dead back to life as undead monsters. Luckily for the rest of the world, a side effect of the plague is that salt water is highly damaging to them. Meaning the undead cannot leave the island.
Stoneman Isle
Stoneman Isle, or Stonegirl Isle as it is known to the amazons, is a favored place for amazons to exile their worst criminals. It is home to a race of snake-haired people known as the Medusa. Who when threatened can petrify their targets. The island is filled with the statues of petrified criminals who were exiled in this way. The island is also home to triple mountains known as the Three Peaks. The mountains are full of tunnels and connect to the underdark. The tunnels themselves are ruled by the Nagpa.
Kumaros
Kumaros, also known as the Continent of Bears, is a largely unexplored continent in the far east. It is home to great Snowbears, Giant cave bears, Brown Grizzlies, Sun & Moon bears, Sloth bears, Giant Pandas and Green Tyrant Bears. The strange continent is split by a mountain range known as the Gandals. North of the Gandals is covered in snow, while the south is covered in woods and bamboo fields.
North Kumaros
North Kumaros is a land of ice and snow that goes up so far north that nobody has ever found the end. Some people speculate that the continent actually goes up all the way and is attached to the Frozen North. The Eastern Amazons have made a city in the snow that they simply call Outpost. It is believed to be the only true city in North Kumaros.
South Kumaros
South Kumaros is the wooded land watered by the triplets, three rivers that flow down from the Gandals. It is home to the great tree top city of Pandros. Pandros is home to a primitive people that have long been isolated by the sirens, amazons and medusa surrounding them. Though in recent years, more and more of these curious creatures have left their homes.
