Amuneta, the Liberator

AMUNETA, THE LIBERATOR

Amuneta—the Liberator of Cinderheim—was imprisoned in Umberwell for sedition against the government. She escaped Bleakbone Gaol, and sought freedom in Cinderheim; other former prisoners and outcasts flock to her leadership—she promises liberty to all who can reach the Narak oasis.

• Appearance. Half-orc, slate gray skin, short black hair in a ragged pixie cut, muscled like a warrior princess.

• Abilities. Political history, deadly with a khopesh.
• Traits. Idealist, more comfortable among criminals than the law-abiding.
• Ideal. Create a homeland for the unjustly punished.
• Bond. Amuneta maintains contact with political revolutionaries in Umberwell via sending stones.
• Flaw. Prone to leaps of faith.
• Warband. All able-bodied residents of the encampment can be mustered to fight on its behalf.

SPECIAL FOLLOWERS

• Scorpion Knights. Narak’s Scorpion Knights are the encampment’s elite troops. They are drawn from the most violent criminals who found freedom at the oasis.
• The Dedicated. The Dedicated are a small enclave of cultists who revere Narah, the Breaker of Bonds.
• The Children of Amuneta. The Children of Amuneta are spies and saboteurs who follow the half-orc warlord. They insinuate themselves into other encampments to sow discord and wreak havoc.

NARAK

Narak is positioned as a promised land for escaped criminals, outcasts, slaves, and the persecuted. It is the only encampment that eschews the horrid practice of slavery; any who enter the encampment are considered free within its walls. Many slaves, imprisoned criminals, and half-orcs dream of reaching Amuneta’s oasis and finding liberty.

• Population. Half of Narak’s population are half-orcs gathered to Amuneta’s banner from Umberwell. The other half of the population are mostly tieflings, catfolk, and humans.
• Aesthetic. Buildings of stone and brick, exteriors decorated with carvings of beasts and scarab beetles.
• Supplies. Gemstones, silver, textiles, iron. Water is drawn from a deep reservoir beneath the encampment.

NOTABLE FEATURES

• The Purple Lotus Academy. The Purple Lotus Academy is a small school of wizardry that was founded by mages who fled persecution in other lands.
• Monument Hall. Monument Hall is a small museum dedicated to insurgents, revolutionaries, and radicals; within the museum are statues of the world’s most renowned iconoclasts and rebels.
• The Pyre. The Pyre is a crematorium where the bodies of the dead are burned to ash as tributes to Narah, the Breaker of Bonds.

ADVENTURES IN NARAK

• Escort an escaped slave to freedom in Narak.
• Sift through the ashes of the Pyre to find a magical artifact.
• Discover a traitor within the Scorpion Knights who plots Amuneta’s assassination.
• Pilfer a book of dark magic from the Purple Lotus Academy.
