====Grasses<ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer V, p11">[[Ravenloft Gazetteer V]], p11.</ref>====

*''[[Dødmangraes]]'' ("dead man's grass") is found in the [[Ehrendton]] of [[Nova Vaasa]]. A fungus turns patches of the short and thin native grass from its yellow-green to an unhealthy white. It is said to be the sign of an unmarked grave.

*''[[Havgraes]]'' is a tall a chest-high grass, the tallest in known world, which is perfect for a stalking [[plains cat]]. It is common in the [[Pommel]].

*''[[Hestgraes]]'' is a knee-high grass, in which the [[plains cat]] is certainly capable of crouching, with brown or white seeds. It is common in the ''[[Tordenmark]]'' ('Thundering Plain').

*''[[Knivgraes]]'' is a razor-edged grass that thrives only in the ''[[Dommark]]'' ("Plains of Judgement").

*''[[Vingraes]]'' is a short golden grass with royal purple seeds. It is common on the ''[[Kesjermark]]'' ("King's Plain)" and lends it the moniker of “Højplads’s Carpet”.

*''[[Gedfode]]'' ("goat-foots") is a breed of horses native to the rockier western reaches of the ''[[Kesjermark]]'' and of the ''[[Elendighedmark]]'' in [[Nova Vaasa]]. They stand from 13 to 15 hands high. ''Gedfode'' are used by the [[Vistani]] as pack animals. The [[Vaasi]] use them to carry freight to and from the docks of [[Guldstrand Beach]] and up and down the rock trail to [[Egertus]] perched on the cliff high above.<ref>[[Ravenloft Gazetteer V]], p13.</ref>

===Native Horrors===

Nova Vaasa is host to several species of monsters unknown elsewhere and closely related, symbolically at least, to horses. They include the tragic [[Doedridere]], a marriage of horse and rider in undeath, the foul [[Hestdrikker]], which feeds on the blood of horses, vicious [[Hestskærere]], which slits open the stomachs of horses and crawl inside, and treacherous [[Niksiee]], which captivates with its beauty before carrying off and drowning its rider.

===[[Weather]]===

===Terrain===

====Plains====

*The ''[[Dommark]]'' ([["Plain of Judgement"]]) is located in central east Nova Vaasa.

*The ''[[Ehrendton]]'' is located in northeast Nova Vaasa.

*The ''[[Elendighedmark]]'' ("[[Plain of Misery]]")

*The ''[[Kesjermark]]'' ("[[King’s Plain]]")

*The [[Pommel]] is narrowing pennisula of southern Nova vaasa south of the [[Saniset River]].

*The ''[[Tordenmark]]'' ("[[Thundering Plain]]") lies between the [[Ivlis River]] and the [[Saniset River]]. To the north it is part of the [[Ivlis Duchy]] of the [[Rivtoff family]] and to the south it is part of the [[Pommel Duchy]] of the [[Chekiv family]].

====Hills====

*The [[Altid Bluffs]]

*The [[Forgotten Hills]] are the southern foothills of the [[Mountains of Misery]]. They constitute, in effect, the north frontier of northwestern Nova Vaasa. Since [[740 BC]], they have become home to bandits who prey upon travellers on the [[East Timori Road]] between [[Liara]] and the [[Trished River]] and even beyond.

*The [[Howling Hills]], called the [[Hills of Bleak Vistas]] by Barovians, are the eastern foothills of the Barovian [[Balinoks]]. They are wolf infested, are rumoured to harbour werewolves and vampires, furnish inferior [[timber]], and consequently are shunned by all but the most foolhardy.

*The [[Hvile Bluffs]]

*The [[Koshka Bluffs]] .... In their eastern shadow stands the [[Misbande Forest]]. <ref>[[Ravenloft Gazetteer V]] p15</ref>

*The [[Stony Bluffs]]

*The [[Vaesen Foothills]] of northwestern Nova Vaasa are the foothills of the [[Balinoks]] from vanished [[Markovia]]. They front the [[Shadow Rift]].

====[[Canyons]]====

*The [[Katsmund Canyon]]

*The ''[[Storrokke Canyon]]

====Forests====

*The ''[[Dyrskov]]'' ("[[Beastwood]]") fronts the Barovian frontier a little north of the [[Old Svalich Road]] to the edge of the [[Shadow Rift]] and fronts the [[Shadow Rift]] to a little south of the [[Borchava River]]. It covers the southern half of the Vaesen Foothills that themselves fronted the Balinoks of vanished Markovia.

*The ''[[Graenseskov]]'' ("[[Borderwood]]") grows thickly on the lower slopes of the eastern foothills of the [[Balinoks]] in Barovia and well out onto the flatter land of [[Nova Vaasa]] beyond them. Its upper reaches are known to Barovians as the [[Hills of Bleak Vistas]] and to the Nova Vaasans as the [[Howling Hills]]. The northern boundary of the forest lies a little south of the [[Old Svalich Road]] where the beech-firs of the [[Old Svalich Woods]] resolutely hold their ground. The southern limit extends at least to the border of Hazlani frontier but perhaps continues into [[Hazlan]] itself.

*The ''[[Skyggeskov]]'' ("Shadowwood") straddles, just south of the [[Saniset River]], the eastern [[Hazlan]]i frontier with [[Nova Vaasa]], fronting the [[Misty Border]]. It begins in earnest east of the [[Felgmøsge]] ("Mistmoss River").

====Woods====
''Note: wood are usually less than 1 mile square.''

*The [[Abentaage Forest]] stands a few miles north of [[Arbora]].

*The [[Briarweed Forest]] stand between [[Kantora]] and [[Egertus]], a little south of the [[East Timori Road]].

*The [[Misbande Forest]] stands in shadow, to the east, of the [[Koshka Bluffs]].

====Lakes====

*The [[Three Sisters]]

===Communication===

====Rivers====

=====Dnar River System=====
The ''Sydligdnar'' ("South Dnar River") is navigable, although not without difficulty in both directions owing to its current, with small ships between the [[Nocturnal Sea]] and the docks at [[Kantora]]. With the right winds, the ''Sydligdnar'' can be sailed. Otherwise it must be rowed. The Vaughn Dnar and the Dnar are too deep to be forded as they merge to form the ''Sydligdnar''. Bridges consistent with small ships pose a manifest engineering problem, but none are mentioned, so ferry service for river crossings would make sense. A ferry service is known to exist between the docks of Kantora and the port of Guldstrand Beach on the sea at the foot of Egertus.

The Vaughn Dnar River is navigable, although surely with progressively smaller craft as one climbs past the Borchava River and the Trished River on the way to Liara. The Vaughn Dnar is not navigable in [[Tepest]] as its waters plunge through shallow but sinuous and boulder strewn gorges.

The [[East Timori Road]] remains on the south shore of the Vaughn Dnar from Kantora until just after the [[Trished River]], inviting the hypothesis that at that point either the Vaughn Dnar becomes fordable or has a bridge thrown across it that doesn't greatly harm river traffic. To reach that point, the East Timori Road crosses the [[Borchava River]], suggesting that the Borchava is either more fordable than the Vaughn Dnar or that a bridge thrown across the Borchava would do less harm to river traffic than one thrown over the Vaughn Dnar. In [[Liara]] there is at least one bridge over the Vaughn Dnar. There are four ancient stone bridges built over the Vaughn Dnar between the [[Tepest]]ani frontier and [[Lake Kronov]].

*The ''[[Sydligdnar]]'' ("[[South Dnar River]]") has as its tributaries the [[Dnar River]] and the [[Vaughn Dnar River]].
**The [[Dnar River]]
**The [[Vaughn Dnar River]] has as its tributary the [[Borchava River]] and the [[Trished River]].
***The [[Borchava River]] has as its tributary the [[Little Borchava River]]
****The [[Little Borchava River]]
***The [[Trished River]]

=====Ivlis River System=====
The [[Ivlis River]] and its tributaries are essentially unnavigable, which is not to say that it cannot be done, only that it cannot be done reliably and safely enough for it to be economical. The [[Volgis River]] may be used, at least seasonally, to float logs individually to [[Bergovitsa]] however.

*The [[Ivlis River]] has as its tributaries the [[Volgis River]] and [[Ulvand River]]
**The [[Volgis River]]
**The [[Ulvand River]]

=====Saniset River System=====
The [[Saniset River]] is navigable from the [[Nocturnal Sea]] to [[Sly-Var]] and beyond, certainly not all the way to [[Immol]], but perhaps to the shadow of the Barovian [[Balinoks]] where the climb to [[Immol]] begins. Craft are very likely smaller than small ships however. Otherwise ''chuul'', when they rear their ugly selves, wouldn't be able to make a mess of transport on the river.

The ''[[Genspejle]]'' is navigable from [[Sly-Var]] to the frontier with [[Nova Vaasa]] and with greater difficulty some distance beyond.

Fording the Saniset River seems unlikely, even above [[Sly-Var]]. The [[Iron Road]] crosses the Saniset two-thirds of the way to [[Toyalis]]. This would be the disembarkation point for goods carried by water to [[Toyalis]] from both up and downriver, so throwing a bridge across the river here would do no exceptional harm to river traffic. Additionally, one could imagine Hazlik insisting upon a bridge as it would also service his private estate of [[Veneficus]]. The Iron Road crosses ''Genspejle'' at [[Sly-Var]]. A bridge here would allow the town to straddle both banks and would be a boon to commerce. And a ferry across the Saniset would make sense too. The [[Vaere Bange Road]] crosses the Saniset near the [[Nocturnal Sea]]. Again a ferry would make sense.

*The [[Saniset River]] has as its tributaries the ''[[Genspejle]]'' ("[[Mirror River]]") and the ''[[Felgmøsge]]'' ("[[Mistmoss River]]")
**The ''[[Genspejle]]'' ("[[Mirror River]]")
**The ''[[Felgmøsge]]'' ("[[Mistmoss River]]")

=====Musarde River System=====
The East Musarde River could conceivably be used for a bit of transportation back and forth across the southern [[Pommel]]. Only the [[Vistani]] or a [[Captain of the Mists | captain of the Mists]] could, however, hope to use the [[East Musarde River]] to reach southwestern [[Hazlan]] or the [[Musarde River]] to reach the southwestern [[Pommel]] of [[Nova Vaasa]].

*The [[Musarde River]] has as its tributary the [[East Musarde River]].
**The [[East Musarde River]]

====Roads====

*The [[East Timori Road]] runs from [[Egertus]], through [[Kantora]] and [[Liara]], and into [[Tepest]] where it is cut short by the [[Shadow Rift]].

*The [[Old Svalich Road]] begins just south of [[Bergovitsa]] and joins Nova Vaasa to [[Barovia]] and the lands beyond, crossing the [[Balinoks]].

*The [[Prince’s Road]] joins [[Bergovitsa]] and [[Kantora]].

*The [[Vaere Bange Road]] joins [[Bergovitsa]] and [[Arbora]].

*The [[Iron Road]] joins the Pommel to [[Sly-Var]] and [[Toyalis]].

Note: Efforts, subject to continual sabotoge, are underway to cut a road through [[Tepest]] and [[Keening]] to the [[Strigos Road]] in Darkon.

====[[Mistways]]====

*The [[Bleak Road]] (poor reliability, two-Way) from the [[Misty Border]] south of [[Arbora]] in southern [[Nova Vaasa]] to northern [[Vorostokov]]. This [[Mistway]] is little known as such, although inhabitants south of Arbora have probably seen strange things.

*The [[Serpent's Coils]] (moderate reliability, two way) from eastern [[Nova Vaasa]] to [[Paridon]]. This [[Mistway]] is little known as such, but those living in eastern Nova Vaasa have noticed a corellation between disappearances and individuals being out on foggy nights during the [[dark of the moon]]. [VRGttM pg. 70-71] Subsequently revisited by the FoS, presumably in the Paridon Gazeetteer.

*The [[Unending Sleep]] (one-way, excellent reliabiliy) from [[The Clinic for the Mentally Distressed]] outside of [[Egertus]] to the [[Nightmare Lands]]. This [[Mistway]] is unknown as such.

===Landmarks===
*The ''[[forventetaarn]]'' ("watchtowers")

===Frontiers===

====[[Barovia]]====

*The [[Old Svalich Woods]] is a small forest of old growth beech-firs along the [[Old Svalich Road]] in [[Barovia]] from the [[Village of Barovia]] to the [[Nova Vaasa]]n frontier.

*The [[Howling Hills]], called the [[Hills of Bleak Vistas]] by Barovians, are the eastern foothills of the Barovian [[Balinoks]]. They are thickly forested by the [[Graenseskov]] ("Borderwood"). It, however, comes to an end before the [[Old Svalich Road]] where the beech-firs of the [[Old Svalich Woods]] resolutely hold their ground.

*The ''[[Graenseskov]]'' ("[[Borderwood]]") grows thickly on the lower slopes of the eastern foothills of the Balinoks in Barovia and well out onto the flatter land of Nova Vaasa beyond them. Its upper reaches are known to Barovians as the [[Hills of Bleak Vistas]] and to the Nova Vaasans as the [[Howling Hills]]. The northern boundary of the forest lies a little south of the [[Old Svalich Road]] where the beech-firs of the [[Old Svalich Woods]] resolutely hold their ground. The southern limit extends at least to the border of Hazlani frontier but perhaps continues into [[Hazlan]] itself.

====[[Darkon]]====

*The [[Mountains of Misery]]

*The [[Forgotten Hills]]

====[[Hazlan]]====

*The ''[[Graenseskov]]'' ("[[Borderwood]]")

*The ''[[Høj i den Safdrede Sti-Naavne]]'' ("Hill of the Hundred Paths") stands in northeastern [[Hazlan]] close to the border with [[Nova Vaasa]] at the limit of the ''[[Ufrugtbarlan]]'' ("Barren Lands"). It is shunned as a place where ghosts walk and kill those who put a foot wrong.

*The ''[[Skyggeskov]]'' ("[[Shadowwood]]") stradles just south of the [[Saniset River]] the eastern with [[Nova Vaasa]], fronting the Misty Border. It begins in earnest east of the [[Felgmøsge]] ("Mistmoss River").

====[[Tepest]]====

*The [[Wormwood]] stands south of the [[South Dnar River]] in southeastern Tepest and reaches across the frontier into [[Nova Vaasa]] where it gradually thins and ultimately gives way to the ''[[Elendighedmark]]'' ("Plain of Misery"). It harbours goblins, Hala's witches, [[Vaasi]] bandits (near its eastern fringes), and the three hag sisters (at is heart) who are the [[Darklords]] of Tepest.<ref>[[Ravenloft Gazetteer V]], p47,166.</ref>

====The [[Shadow Rift]]====

*The [[Vaesen Foothills]] of northwestern Nova Vaasa are the foothills of the [[Balinoks]] from vanished [[Markovia]]. They front the [[Shadow Rift]].

*The ''[[Dyrskov]]'' ("[[Beastwood]]") fronts the Barovian frontier a little north of the [[Old Svalich Road]] to the edge of the [[Shadow Rift]] and fronts the [[Shadow Rift]] to a little south of the [[Borchava River]]. It covers the southern half of the Vaesen Foothills that themselves fronted the Balinoks of vanished Markovia.

====The [[Mists]] (the [[Misty Border]])====

*The ''[[Skyggeskov]]'' ("[[Shadowwood]]")

====The [[Nocturnal Sea]]====

*The [[Fortress Coast]]

===The [[Great Upheaval]]===
Nova Vaasa was significantly altered by the Great Upheaval. To the northeast its frontier with [[Markovia]] became one with the [[Shadow Rift]], with positive consequences for the ''[[Dyrskov]]'' ("[[Beastwood]]"). But the [[Shadow Rift]] also ended trade with the western [[Core]] via the [[Timori Road]], which could not have been good for [[Liara]] in particular although it may have helped [[Bergovitsa]] a bit. A comparison of the rivers, in particular, before and after the Great Upheaval suggests that Nova Vaasa effectively annexed the former territory of the [[Nightmare Lands]], but a comparison of the subsequent position of the cities suggests that this was a stealth annexation, with [[Kantora]] and [[Egertus]] simply being relocated to the east and [[Arbora]] likewise being relocated to the southwest. The disappearance of the [[Nightmare Lands]] was itself a boon and even more so was the eventual appearance of the [[Nocturnal Sea]], which has not only lent [[Egertus]] and [[Arbora]] considerable importance, but given Nova Vaasa a possible direction for expansion. The former territory of [[Hazlan]] was also annexed, as that land reformed along what had been the frontier with [[Bluetspur]]. This greatly altered the locations of [[Sly-Var]] and [[Arbora]] relative to each other, but perhaps improved the prospects for trade, as the navigable [[Saniset River]] could now carry goods between the two lands.

===Population Distribution===

====Cities====

*[[Kantora]] (pop. 16520)

*[[Bergovitsa]] (pop. 6640)

*[[Liara]] (pop. 7590)

====Towns====

*[[Arbora]] (pop. 4610)

*[[Egertus]] (pop. 3940)

====Villages====

*[[Drataan]] was a village in northern Nova Vaasa in the [[Ehrendton]], probably near the [[Darkonese frontier]] which was the [[Arakian frontier]] prior to the [[Great Upheaval]]. In [[685 BC]], it was razed by the [[Black Duke]] and his [[Brotherhood of the Whip]]. There were probably one or two survivors, spared to spread word of the Black Duke's terrible deeds. The village was not rebuilt.

*[[Guldstrand Beach]] is the leading port in [[Nova Vaasa]]. It lies on the [[Nocturnal Sea]] just south of the mouth of ''[[Sydligdnar]]''. It is joined to [[Egertus]] by a steep path, to [[Kantora]] by a ferry, and almost certainly to [[Skibbygger Beach]] by a ferry.

*[[Haaldam]] is the largest settlement on the [[Ehrendton]] in northwestern [[Nova Vaasa]] with a population of roughly 200 people.<ref>[[Ravenloft Gazetteer V]], p42.</ref>

*[[Mavalga]] is a small fishing port on the [[Nocturnal Sea]] that harbours a population of 209 souls. It is not far south of [[Rutledge]] which itself stands on the border of [[Darkon]] and Nova Vaasa. This is to say that Mavalga lies on the edge of the [[Ehrendton]] in northeastern Nova Vaasa. It was assaulted by the [[Bad Wind]] in [[755 BC]].

*[[Mel Fira]] was a large village in northern Nova Vaasa. It was razed in [[735 BC]] as part of an attempt by adventurers to put to an end a conspiracy led by a [[wererat]]. The village was not rebuilt and its site is shunned.

*{{netbook-small}}[[Rutledge]] is a port harbouring roughly 250 souls on the [[Nocturnal Sea]] that straddles the border between [[Darkon]] and Nova Vaasa. It has, as yet, been claimed by neither. Its lifeblood is fishing but it also serves as a [[pirate haven]].

*[[Skibbygger Beach]] is the leading ship building centre in [[Nova Vaasa]]. It lies on the [[Nocturnal Sea]] just north of the mouth of ''[[Sydligdnar]]''. It should be joined to [[Guldstrand Beach]] by a ferry.

====[[The Five Families]] and [[their Territorial Holdings]]====

Five Families are the leading noble families [[Nova Vaasa]] that have divided and shared the rule of the [[Vaasi nation]] between themselves so long as the [[Cycle of Stewards]] has remained unbroken. At present the cycle is broken, the work of [[Prince Othmar Bolshnik]] who has undisguised ambitions for himself and his line. The [[Church of the Lawgiver]] has so far supported his royal pretentions.

*The [[Bolshnik family]] has as its patriarch [[Prince Othmar Bolshnik]]. He rules over the [[Heartland Duchy]] located in north-central and northeastern Nova Vaasa. [[Kantora]] and [[Egertus]] fall under the sway of the Bolshniks.

*The [[Hiregaard family]] has as its patriarch [[Duke Tristen Hiregaard]]. He rules over the [[Borchava Duchy]] in north-western Nova Vaasa. [[Liara]] falls under the sway of the Hiregaards.

*The [[Vistin family]] is governed by a regent, [[Lady Lara Vistin]]. She rules over the [[Altid Duchy]] located in the corner of Nova Vaasa formed by [[Barovia]] and the [[Shadow Rift]]. Control over [[Bergovitsa]] is disputed with the [[Rivtoff family]].

*The [[Rivtoff family]] has as its patriarch [[Duke Søren Rivtoff]]. He rules over the [[Ivlis Duchy]] located in central-southern Nova Vaasa. Control over [[Bergovitsa]] is disputed with the [[Vistin family]].

*The [[Chekiv family]] has as its patriarch [[Duke Tunch Chekiv]]. He rules over the [[Pommel Duchy]] located in southern most Nova Vaasa. [[Arbora]] falls under the sway of the Chekivs.

====[[The Cycle of Stewards]]====

The perpetual temporal rule of the [[Vaasi nation]] by a royal family ended before it began. The [[Conqueror-King Zaanji Højplads]] was named the Eternal King and his seat left empty awaiting his return, which is to say that the role of king was replaced by that of prince and steward. The patriarchs of the [[Five Families]] each enjoy a four year term as temporal leader of the [[Vaasi nation]] according to a rotating schedule named the [[Cycle of Stewards]]. The choice of the title of "prince" and even more so of that of "steward" anticipates the return of a king who would reincarnate the glorious past of [[Eternal King Zaanji Højplads]] if not be the reincarnation of the Eternal King himself. Othmar Bolshnik seeks for himself Højplads's title of king at least. To this end he has broken the Cycle of Stewards, something that has been done before, although never for a complete cycle. As of yet there is no indication that he can win for himself and his nation glories worth speaking of and so hope to be the title's undisputed bearer. And even if he could, the [[Bolshnik family]] would be unwise to imagine that the other four of the [[Five Families]] would lie quiescent for long.

===Spiritual Rule===

The [[Church of the Law Giver]] has ruled the spirtual life of the Vaasi nation for as long as history recounts.

====Legendary====

*[[Sainted Prince Gorkyn]] united in his person the temporal authority of the [[Vaasi nation]] and the spiritual authority of the [[Iron Faith]]. He instituted the title of [[Himmelsk Naeve]] (“Divine Fist”) and was the first to bear it. <ref>[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 22</ref>

*Three princes subsequent to [[Gorkyn]] have been recognised by the [[Church of the Lawgiver]] as [[Himmelsk Naeve]] (“Divine Fist”) <ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer V p.23">[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 23</ref>, reuniting in their person the temporal authority of the [[Vaasi nation]] and the spiritual authority of the [[Iron Faith]].

====Contempory====

BC?-present [[Himmelsk Naeve Pieter Jergaar]] commands the [[Iron Faith]] across the known world from the [[Black Citadel-Fane]] in [[Kantora]]. He is a priest of the [[Church of the Lawgiver]] who by his spiritual prowess climbed its ranks and succeed becoming its [[Himmelsk Naeve]] ("Divine Fist").

===Church and State===

The rule of Vaasi temporal leaders, in temporal affairs, is recognised by the [[Church of the Lawgiver]]. Likewise, the rule of Vaasi spiritual leaders, in spiritual affairs, is enforced by the princes of the Vaasi nation.

Temporal authority and spiritual authority have been incarnated in a single individual on four occasions. This was first done by [[Sainted Prince Gorkyn]] who instituted the title of [[Himmelsk Naeve]] (“Divine Fist”). Only the most ambitious and worthy of temporal or spiritual leaders make much progress towards achieving this coincidence of temporal and spiritual authority.

The ambitions of [[Prince Othmar Bolshnik]], by comparison, run in the direction of breaking the festers placed by the other noble families on his own so as to raise himself and his line to a position of perpetual temporal rule. This is not something that the [[Iron Faith]] in principle opposes. And indeed it is at present giving every indication of supporting Othmar in his royal pretentions.

===[[Government]]===

By the Prince of Nova Vaasa and his officials, under the guidance of the [[Council of Lords]]. The annual meeting of the council has been reduced to a mostly pointless formality by [[Prince Othmar]].<ref>[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] p33</ref>

===[[Law]]===

Pronounced ''in the name of the Eternal King, by the will of the Lawgiver." <ref>[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] p30</ref>

===Law-Enforcement===

By the militias of each of the Five Families within its duchy.

By the city, town or village guard where one exists.

====[[Extra-Judicial]]====

===Intelligence Gathering===

===Military Footing===

===''Casus belli''===

====Present====
*Repeated attacks by an unidentified party (or parties) on Vaasi efforts to cut a road through [[Tepest]] into [[Keening]] and on to the [[Strigos Road]] in [[Darkon]]. There is discussion of the need to civilize the Tepestani.

====Future====
*{{Spec|Any of [[Hazlik]] banning religion in his land, declaring the independence of the [[Hazlani Church]] of [[the Lawgiver]], being implicated in the death or disappearance of members of the [[Iron Faith]], imposing a [[pave]] of his own choice upon the Hazlani Church, or ensorcelling the pave or other church leaders. Why would [[Hazlik]] do any of these things? Because the ''Himmelsk Naeve'' ("Divine Fist") has ordered that a hardline be taken by the [[Pave of Hazlan]] on the practice of arcane magic. [[Pave Stavroz Vatsisk]] has not yet seen fit to obey this order, having some appreciation of the possible consequences. Whether the [[Himmelsk Naeve Pieter Jergaar]] has failed to appreciate the consequences or appreciates them all too well is the question.}}

*{{Spec|Growing threat of piracy on the [[Nocturnal Sea]] with [[Liffe | Liffe's]] status as a "failed state" being given as its cause.}}

*{{Spec|[[Colonialism | Colonial]] ambitions in respect to one or more of the islands of the [[Nocturnal Sea]].}}

*{{Spec|Similarly, a determination to monopolise trade on the [[Nocturnal Sea]].}}

*{{Spec|A crusade against arcane magic in [[Hazlan]], on one or more of the islands of the [[Nocturnal Sea]], or every it is found. In the last case perhaps it could begin with simulateous assasination attempts across the Core and its seas. You know, the usual suspects: [[Azalin]], [[Strahd]], [[Hazlik]], [[Meredoth]], [[The Lady of Ravens]], [[Gabrielle Aderre]], . . .}}

*{{Spec|A crusade to lay the undead to rest in [[Barovia]].}}

==Language & Culture==

===Vassi===
[[Vaasi]] is the official language of [[Nova Vaasa]]. The use of any other language in legal proclaimations and historical records is proscribed. And it is likewise with the rites and the records of the [[Church of the Lawgiver]].

While Vaasi is spoken in [[Hazlan]], [[Kartakass]], and [[Valachan]], the dialects in use there are deemed to be degenerate in comparison with the the right and true Vaasi of Nova Vaasa.

* {{potential-canon-small}}682-[[700 BC]] - A man lures nearly a score of his neighbors into his home to see his arcane fireplace which burns without wood. It explodes consuming them all and the house too. The dangerous arcane essence that lingers afterwards in the ashes is extinguished by a priest of the Lawgiver. This story is recounted frequently by clergy of the Lawgiver in Nova Vaasa and its time and place varies. It may be but a cautionary tale devised to slander arcane magic and promote its betrayal to the authorities before something bad happens. <ref>[[VRGttM]] pg. 61</ref>

* [[685 BC]] - Armand Ironhand (Sir Armand Rivtoff) confronts and is put to flight by the Black Duke, the fiendish leader of a cult (The Brotherhood of the Whip) responsible for the destruction of the village of Drataan in the Ehrendton. <ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer V p.42">[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 42</ref>

* 685-700 BC - [[The Tapestry of Dark Souls]] is woven by [[Welse]] in [[Arbora]] using silk supplied by an [[Abber Nomad]]. It brings doom to his family and in short order passes out of Nova Vaasa. [This cannot happen before trading relations are well established with the Abber Nomads and must occur well before 700 BC according to Mangrum] <ref>[[Tales of Ravenloft]] pg. 252</ref>

* [[691 BC]] - [[Tepest]] emerges from the Mists. The event is marked in that land by deformity and crop failure. <ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer V p.54">[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 54</ref>

* 691-[[692 BC]] - Tepestani famine is relieved by assistance from Sir Tristen Hiregaard in particular. (Winter - Spring) <ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer V p.54">[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 54</ref>

The oldest is Yorgi, next is Sasha, and the youngest is Myar. All three are middle-aged in [[756 BC]]. <ref>Middle-aged is assumed to be not younger than 35 and not older than 53. It is best to assume that Katya was very young, say 15, when she gave birth to her first son. This way she is not older than 60 but not younger than 43 when she dies giving birth to her fourth son in [[748 BC]]; see [[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 155, [[Secrets of the Dread Realms]] pg. 46</ref>

* [[705 BC]] - A band of wererats devastates the population and provokes the abandonment of a village in Northern Nova Vaasa named [[Mel Fira]]. [The event happens several decades before the publication of Van Ritchen’s Guide to Werebeasts in 735] <ref>[[VRGtW]]</ref>

* [[717 BC]] - The cult of the [[Claws of Sehkmaa]] sees the light of day. It is led by the high priest Malken and its message of easing poverty and reversing disenfranshisement proves popular. The Church of the Lawgiver is strangely disarmed before the threat. Sir Tristen Hiregaard unmasks the new religion as a criminal organisation, breaks its back, and is widely thought to have slain its high priest. He pays for his meddling with the life of his son Ivaar. <ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer V p.23-24">[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 23-24</ref>

* 720-[[743 BC]] - [[Yorgi Hiregaard]] discovers the [[Cat's Paw]] in a secret compartment of a wardrobe and makes use of it during his youthful adventures until attacked by paka. [The youthful adventures can begin anywhere between [[720 BC|720]] and [[738 BC]]depending on when Yorgi is deemed to have been born] <ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer V p.83">[[Legacy of the Blood]] pg. 85</ref>

* {{netbook-small}}[[722 BC]] - A [[diseased]], [[maimed]] [[foreigner]] is found dead within sight of [[Arbora]] and the Nocturnal Sea.

* [[728 BC]] - Gerald Ferrier, a Falkovnian, opens the Hawk’s Haven Inn in Kellee to profit from and to bolster traffic between Nova Vaasa and Falkovnia along the Old Timori Road. <ref>[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 55, 72</ref>

* {{netbook-small}} 728 BC - Lukas Durmke is born in a hamlet in the Ehrendton north of Egertus. <ref>[[The Book of Secrets]] pg. 112</ref>

* {{netbook-small}} 728 BC - A cell of the Order of Twilight, dedicated to the study of dreams, is established in Nova Vaasa. [This can be anytime after [[725 BC]] and probably best before [[740 BC]]. <ref>[[The Book of Shadows]] pg. 86-88</ref>

* [[729 BC]] - Othmar Bolshnik conspires with [[Chezna]] (a [[darkling]] and leader of a ruthless band of thieves known as the [[Briarweed Forest Bandits]]) and slowly poisons his father, [[Kethmar Bolshnik]]. Because Othmar’s older brother is a [[mad]] [[serial killer]] kept in the Clinic for the Mentally Distressed, Othmar becomes Prince, but Sir [[Tristen Hiregaard]] is made his regent (per Kethmaar’s final request). <ref>[[Domains of Dread]] pg. 69; [[The Enemy Within]]; [[The Nightmare Lands]]; [[The Awakening]]</ref>

* 729 BC - Prince Kethmar Bolshnik dies in office, but not before consulting with the other great families and devising a regency for his 21 year old son. <ref>[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 32-33, 149-151</ref>

* {{netbook-small}}[[730 BC]] - A vampire slays the best friend of a man known only as [[Turk Mader]].

* 733 BC - Regent Tristen Hiregaard steps down. Prince Othmar Bolshnik breaks the Cycle of Stewarts by refusing to do the same. He defends his cause by insisting that he has been cheated out of his turn. Normally regency is for children and ends at age 16. Bribes to the Kantora City Guard and especially to the Church of the Lawgiver (its Himmelsk Naeve issues a supportive decree) prove decisive. <ref>[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 33, 149-151</ref>

* 733 BC - Prince Othmar reaches secret understandings with Malken and with the bandits, offering them a measure of protection from legal authorities in return for gold.

* 733 BC - Prince Othmar begins the formation of a personal police force called the Straffers with extrajudicial powers. At the insistence of the other great families, they are limited to Bolshnik territory and Kantora. They have the curious effect of reducing random attacks by creatures of the night but increasing the number of attacks with political undertones by these same creatures. <ref>[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 32</ref><ref>[[VRGttM]] - Author's Notes</ref>

* {{netbook-small}}[[737 BC]] - Prince Othmar appoints the uncorruptible Sturm Androv, endorsed by Tristen Hiregaard, Constable of the Kantora City Guard. <ref>[[The Book of Secrets]] pg. 111-112</ref>

* 738 BC - Sulo Boristi, brother of Ivana Boristi, relocates his family from Borca to Bergovista shortly before the Great Upheaval and continues the expansion of the Boristi Trading Company.

He establishes the [[Boritsi Trading Company]] in Nova Vaasa and, through it, expands the business out into the [[Nocturnal Sea]]. Soon thereafter, he finances the creation of trading company offices in [[Armeikos]].<ref name=LotBp.12>[[Legacy of the Blood]] p.12</ref>

* [[740 BC]] - The Great Upheaval, ending with the first [[full moon]] in August, shakes the foundations of known existence. The Lawgiver goes silent, spawning the heresy that he died. The official account is that he was preoccupied with saving the world from Mytteri, god of rebellion, nihilism, self-interest, self-gratification and magic. The Nightmare Lands, Markovia and G’Henna disappear and are replaced by the Shadow Rift and the Nocturnal Sea. The rift severs the trade route to the West and the mist shrouded sea proves to be nigh unnavigable. A thin corridor of land between the Mountains of Misery and the new coast permits the development of overland trade with Darkon however. <ref>[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 14, 55, 36-37, 126-128</ref>

* [[741 BC]] - Disappearances and madness plague the workers of the quarries in the Koshka Bluffs after the discovery of ancient tombs. Sir Tristen Hiregaard forbids the removal of treasures and scales back the quarrying. <ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer V p.16">[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 16</ref>

* 741 BC - The first trial of the Tepestani Inquisition is organised by Wyan of Viktal. Foreigners are accused of consorting with the Fey and what little trade remains pretty much dries up West of Kellee. In Kellee Gerald Ferrier succeeds in maintaining a degree of calm. He seeks the assistance of the Church of the Lawgiver to fight back the superstition of the masses. <ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer V p.55-56">[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 55-56</ref>

Disappearances are attributed to the former and half-eaten corpses to the latter. <ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer V p.15">[[Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume V]] pg. 15</ref>

* 741 BC - Othmar tries and fails to have Chezna the Blood-cat silenced for all eternity by band of foreign adventurers. The Vistani outcast and bandit leader replies with a reign of terror.
