*masterwork

Desciption:
Samarach is a vassal state of Nimbral, and as such has a magical inclination towards religion, but unlike their "Master state", they do not venerate the Goddess of Illusions, but instead revere Savras, the all seeing.
Talona is also very prominent, but in this case she is venerated by more lenient and benevolent priests interested in studying and cataloging the multitude of diseases and poisons found in the tropical forests nearby.
A few of the more industrious people of Samarach incline their favor to Waukeen, and the more destructive towards Garagos, the master of singular battle.
Set is lastly mostly venerated by the various Yuan'ti clans in his aspect as Sseth, sponsor of the reptile races.

The Samarashans are very independed (read, Xenophobic) minded, and as such use magic to cloak the various ways of travel through the mountains and to the cities they populate.

I just filled in some blanks regarding religion, and items, and took the info from the books PgtF and RoF.
(could not coment on Cyric/ Leira, as i dont have access to the details in the book serpent kingdoms)
more ideas when i get them, and any thought from other people?:plotting:

feedback much appreciated.

Yuck, Gnomes :plotting:, hehehe... but thanks anyway for the input.
Where are the Quicksilver eyed rulers of that land?

I am thinking the region could be a little more "developed" in the sence of a few proper cities and such, and maybe it could even be the sight where Maalthiir would want to set up his new camp?,

any thoughts on that?

:tie:

There's Samargol. Other than that, I'm afraid my knowledge of Samarach is lacking terribly:(

Is it not a good idea to have Maalthiir set up shop near such great magical lands?

Spellwise, Jungle Stamina, Mercantile Background are not in the list,
while they are in the book PgtF.

03-21-07, 08:54 AM What are you using for sources about Samarach?
The largest amount of information, in 3ed that I've seen is in Serpet Kingdoms and it never gave me the impression that the people were big on trading (they're isolationists) and they are afraid to even enter the jungle. The Spellwise feat I'll buy; however, why isn't Leira(Cyric) listed on the preferred dieties list since the reason that the current High Phantasmage isn't giving up his position is to root out the priesthood of Leira that they kicked out of Nimbral during the time of troubles.

I might have accidentally mixed up Tashalar and Samarach, hmmz.

I don't have access to that book so i don't know about those details, will at least edit the feat Mercantile background out of the list :tie:

With the info about the region via the errata, i made a few adjust ments to feats, languages and religions, i also took the gems away from bonus equipment list, as that was for the trading feat.
