The Turf of Shal Omnis
Founded by the Moon Knight Niteblade, the Mestean Archipelago is a collection of islands dedicated to prepare for the arrival of Shal Omnis, the sovereign deity of all Dragons. It is said that invoking the name of Shal Omnis grants instant sanctuary to any who are pursued by agents of her nemesis, Styphon.The Mestean Archipelago is found in the Watersea of Worlorn. Cooperative pacts between cousins Theseus and Llewella allow free passage between the realms.Peridot can not exist in Mestea, for it is mysteriously Removed from the possession of the bearer until the owner summons it within the Watersea.
The Island of the Yellow Rose
Mestea Island is surrounded by an immense, nearly impassable barrier reef known as The Great Barrier. A dome shaped membrane of pure energy surrounds the atmosphere five miles above the island. Only the leaders of the Yellow Rose and dragons can find their way innately. Mestea is one of the Dragon Isles, found in the Great Sea. |

Emissary of Shal-Omnis
Theseus is also known as Gerard, Gerier, and Hercules in some lands. As Archangel to his goddess, Shal-Omnis, he represents Her in Worlorn until the time for Her Arrival.omnipresent archetype
travellers will find it hard, even dangerous, to find Mestea alone. For some, however, the risk may be well worth it, for once within the Great Barrier and the Energy Dome, one is safe from all external influences. In the core Sanctuary of Mestea, one may petition Theseus himself for full Sanctuary against all pursuers. Before you attempt this, make sure that your persecuters' claims against you are unjust, lest the Archangel rule against you.One need not suffer boredom while taking sanctuary in Mestea. Adventure and danger can be found for those who seek it. Adventurers who are worthy may find excellent sources of training in arcane weapons and magic skills lost elsewhere for centuries.golden attribute focus
The Sanctuary of Mestea provides, supports, and controls nine-tenths of all manifestations of
sanctuary in worlorn, including but not limited to Abelard
Sanctuaries, Life Hutches, Leomund's Tiny Huts, Daern's Instant Fortresses, and Circles of Protection. No being within Mestea may be brought out or targeted by forces external to Mestea, without the explicit consent of the being or Theseus. No Worlorn turf can attack Mestea, and all Worlorn turfs will automatically defend Mestea against any extra-Worlorn attack.
the people of Mestea
Mestea is home to the MoonKnights, an Elite order of the
Rose. MoonKnights are trained to bond and ride with Dragons, proficient in very specialized swordsmanship and
dragonlance. The relationship is more of a partnership between dragon and mortal, and is not for everyone: Dragons
choose their riders, not the other way around.
Most of the humanoid races of Mestea consist of elves, halflings, and humans. Dragons on the isle often appear as
humanoid figures. However, there is usually some physical distinguishing mark, if one looks closely. More than
one elvish MoonKnight and his bonded Dragon have been mistaken for Kav Elfar at first glance.The MoonKnights are seldom seen outside Mestea.
When they are, it is almost always to right wrongs, punish injustice, or hasten the day when Shal-Omnis will come
to Worlorn.good fences make good neighbors
