Athagilion¶
Athagilion is a human kingdom of the Riven Kingdoms, "well defended farmland/plains. Staunchly Kalari, the church is tightly integrated with the kingdom" (S319). Its capital is Arkos on Lake Minatona, and it is ruled by the Conclave of the Golden Sun, four bishops (S179). It is among the nations "rebuilding and prospering" in the first years after the Dark Sun (S326), and in 704 SM it is the one Riven kingdom winning ground from the Imperium.
Government and faith¶
The Conclave of the Golden Sun is a Factions matter, treated under Riven Thrones and Councils. The kingdom's banner is half white and silver, half a golden sun (S179). Its justice is in the hands of a High Magistrate, Traian in the campaign's day, who succeeded Miksa (S179). The faith is that of Kalar; a squire of its knights counted the party's deeds as "Heresy, Blasphemy, Defile, Desecration, Profane, Sacrilege" (S179). Twelve knights of Athagilion pursued the party out of the kingdom (S180).
War with the Imperium¶
"Sancturi Faragond <-> Delvarn & Athagilion: The Sancturi advance in Faragond has been all but halted. After suffering a catastrophic loss to the Riven 2 years ago that nearly cost them the entire province, the Sancturi armies have pulled back and are focused on reorganization, infrastructure and defense. They have lost significant ground to Athagilion over the past months" (S319). The timeline agrees: the Griffon Legions "have been rebuilding ever since and lost quite a bit of territory to Athagilion in the meantime" after their disappearance in the Necromancer's lands in 700 SM (S326). See Faragond, Delvarn and the Sancturi Campaigns.
Places¶
- Arkos, the capital, on Lake Minatona (S179).
- Mahsat, a town with the Sunrise Hill Inn (S179).
In Play¶
The Sancturi Campaign crossed Athagilion going to and from Delvarn; it was here that the half-Oesterkull Sivar of the White Fire joined them with his dwarven companion Khalban, and here that the Order of the Crimson Sun of Miralt waited to try them for high crimes (S176, S179, S180). Ruins of Athagilion lie among those of Lorsythe, Dalmar and Droburg in the Baegor Chain of the Rift in a later age (S066).
Gap
The sources give Athagilion no history between the Morning and 704 SM, no population, and no account of how the Conclave came to rule.
