Ur

Jump to Subpage in A Quest of Queens Table of Contents

In Yevim mythology, Ur is known as the domain of Asag, the Brood Mother, and the antithesis to their goddess, Yevna. It is described as a place of shadow and brimstone, a hellscape crawling with supernatural serpents of Asag's making.

Yevim mythology, of course, tells the story from the perspective of Muraius: that the world was a vast landscape of chaos before Yevna, through Elsene, shaped the land in her image. From the perspective of the Changelings, the world prior to Elsene's reign was a vast jungle paradise, teeming with life. They say even the Northern Wastes were once lush with vegetation.

Story Hook

The question of what exactly Ur is can help define the tenor of your campaign. If Ur really is a hellscape, then perhaps Asag and Yevna represent the classical view of elemental good and evil: the bad guys are cosmically bad, and the good guys are cosmically good. In such a campaign, it would be clear cut that Asag and the Changelings must be completely defeated in order for the PCs to triumph over evil.

However, if Ur isn’t exactly what the Yevim say it is, then we have a case of the Yevim rewriting history to suit their preferred narrative. Elsene claims to be a savior of the prehistoric world, but what if she was actually a conquerer? What does that mean for The Queen Who Lives and her campaign to restore balance to the World of Ruin?
