The Amazons are
women warriors who hail from a group of islands in the Twin Seas, near
the border of the Great Ocean. Only the permanently snow-covered peak of
Mount Karcheus breaks the expanses of lush forests on the islands.
The Amazon people
are a relatively isolated culture. Adapting over the centuries to their
tropical milieu, they have built magnificent cities in the forest
canopy. These cities are an architectural phenomenon and a source of
great pride to the Amazon people. They do not follow the teachings of
Zakarum, but instead practice a polytheistic religion that adheres to
the strict principles of the Order. Their Oracles long ago predicted the
Dark Exile, and they have been preparing to combat it ever since.
Amazons regard the destruction the Three Prime Evils as their destiny.,
ushering in a new era when mortal men and women can at long last take
their rightful place in the universe, no longer merely playthings for
the beings of the Outer Realms.
The Amazons are a
seafaring people, one of the first to have made trade contact with both
the kingdoms of the west and with Kejhistan in the East. Their
Prominence in the world's trade establishment has afforded their
warriors the reputation they currently enjoy as cunning strategists and
skilled combatants. they are much sought after as mercenaries, being
both expert soldiers as well as extremely loyal - as long as their
assignments does not conflict with their strict sense of ethics.
Their pantheon of
gods consist of a well-defined hierarchy, each member upholding some
segment of the balance of Order. It is this strong sense of order that
drives the Amazon people to achieve greatness in even the smallest of
endeavors. Their prime deity is Athulua who, with her consort, Kethryes,
rules over the seasons and the weather. Under these Goddesses are a wide
assortment of lesser deities, each responsible for his or her own sphere
of influence among the Amazon people's daily life. The Amazons believe
this pantheon is the remnant of the original inhabitants that settles
the islands centuries ago. According to ancient records, they share the
same names as these gods, although aspects of their personalities seem
to be evolved over the centuries.
In the Amazon
culture, only the women serve as warriors, their intrinsic superior
dexterity and lithe body structures are better suited to combat in the
dense rain forest environs of the islands. their society is far from
stratified, however, as men are responsible for any number of positions
in the community, government, and clergy, as well as merchant and
agricultural occupations.

| Traits
and Abilities |
| While more than competent in hand to
hand combat, training in the jungles of her native islands has shaped
the Amazon’s skill with the bow and missile weapons into one of
unparalleled excellence. With the bow, her only rivals are the Sisters
if the Sightless Eye. But, unlike her sisters in arms, the Amazon is
also highly adept in the use of spears and other thrown weapons. The
powers they possess are a combination of Prime magic, Holy magic and
ingenious weapon construction. |
