			In 180 [[BR]], the [[drow]] mages attempting [[Brightwater Campaign/The Season 1 Story\|a dangerous ritual]] acciddentally opened a hole through Pteris, through the [[The Underdark\|Underdark]], and (somehow) to the [[Nine Hells]]. [[The Underdark]]'s sea flooded portions of the [[Duumal\|first layer]], and devils emerged in central Pteris in an event known as the [[The Infernal Emergence\|First Infernal Emergence]].

			The First Emergence was marked with infernal technology only used in those times. Infernal Firearms - such as rifles and pistols - were briefly used over 1000 years before the development of the [[gun]]. Infernal Warmachines rode through terrain bringing death and destruction with them. When the emergence concluded, most devils chose to return to the Nine Hells, though many instead chose to remain in Pteris, thriving in the lawless badlands making deals, slaying demons, and reaping souls.

			== Inhabitants ==
			Pteris is inhabited by a vast array of both humanoids and other intelligent creatures. Settlements range from the fishing villages and merchant towns on the eastern coast of Pteris, to the run down shanty towns and oasis of Central Pteris, to the mysterious walled cities of the Swikedom Coasts to the West.

			=== Ptterans ===
			Pterrans were among the earliest races to walk the lands of Quelmar; dinosaur-like humanoids with sand-colored scales, prehensile tails, and bulbous, beak-like snouts lined with sharp teeth. They thrived in the scorching climates of Pteris, their cold-blooded physiology well suited to the region’s harsh, arid conditions.

			Pterrans lived in nomadic tribes, hunting across the Pteris badlands with their keen speed and natural camouflage. The strongest and most respected among them were warriors who could lead others, share the burdens of the hunt, and safeguard their ancestral lands. Over time, the Pterrans adapted further to Pteris’s unforgiving terrain, and three of Quelmar’s modern societies trace their ancestry to this ancient race: the Merca, the Bellovik, and the Dunjana of the Under-Sand domains.

			By the early BR era, populations descended from Pterrans had far surpassed their pure-blooded ancestors, and by the dawn of the PR era, true Pterrans were considered biologically extinct, surviving only through the bloodlines of the turtlefolk, lizardfolk, and snakefolk that still roam Quelmar today.

			=== [[Giant\|Giants]] ===
			The mountains of Pteris are inhabited and ruled by mighty giants. In the peaks rule the [[Storm Giant\|Storm Giants]] and [[Cloud Giant\|Cloud Giants]] who command the weather across their domains and beyond. Then in the hills and caves are the [[Stone Giant\|Stone Giants]] and [[Hill Giant\|Hill Giants]], living in tight knit tribes and serving at the command of the giants in the mountain peaks. Then in the caves deep below dwell the [[Fire Giant\|Fire Giants]] who manage large industrial forges of flame.

			The giants of Pteris are strong and proud, with many believing that they are the true people of Pteris and that the continent is theirs by right. Though as centuries passed and more humanoids arrived to spread across Pteris, the giants became content to simply rule over their mountainous kingdoms, as long as their humanoid neighbors respected their borders.

			After [[the Holy War]], some giants formed alliances with local humanoid tribes in order to rebuild what had been destroyed by [[Dragon\|dragons]]. Over time, they bridged the gap between their people and founded the nation of Trudger.

	== Under-Sand Domains ==		== Under-Sand Domains ==
			Buried deep below the sands of the Kharmaja lies a network of cities founded by three major societies descended from the ancient Pterrans. The Bellovik people evolved into massive scorpion-like folk, while the Merca society eventually lost their legs, becoming serpentine [[Yuan-Ti]] folk. The Dunjana, the most mysterious of the undersand civilizations, are said to be far more numerous than the other two combined, living in an ant-like hive society. Many in Pteris refer to the Merca, the Bellovik, and the Dunjana, as “The Magicians,” “The Warriors,” and “The Druids" respectively.

			Only appearing on the surface in the most dire of circumstances, these societies have found security by building beneath the dunes rather than above. Time would prove them wise, as these Undersand Domains have endured the longest of any societies in central Pteris. Weary of any land-walkers who tread above, it isn’t uncommon for Pteris’ ancient dungeons and tunnels to accidentally lead to an underground city populated by one of these cultures. The only way to safely cross paths with them comes in the form of their occasional cultural festivals and ceremonies, where they make pilgrimages or open cavern ceilings up to the moonlight as part of their ancient rituals, allowing tourists a brief look into their massive underground cityscapes.

	===[[The City of Merca]]===		===[[The City of Merca]]===
			Hidden deep below the sand dunes of Pteris, Merca (pronounced Mer-saah) is one of the major underground cities home to one of the largest settlements of Yuan-Ti on the continent. Unlike many other common Yuan-Ti ancestries, the Yuan-Ti of Merca all have serpentine tails instead of legs. Although Yuan-Ti may be the primary race of Merca, many other races that found themselves at the mercy of the desert sun and have sought refuge and home in the city. The Yuanti outnumber all other races in the city and govern some of the highest seats of political influence.

	===[[Bellovik\|The City of Bellovik]]===		===[[Bellovik\|The City of Bellovik]]===
			Buried beneath the sands of Pteris, Bellovik stands as the second largest of the major Under-Sand Domains in the great desert wasteland. Bellovik was first created by a small Scorpikis tribe struggling to establish security on the desert plains. They found more success below the sand than above it. While it began as the home to less than fifteen Scorpikis originally, Bellovik now is home to (possibly) the largest Scorpikis tribe in all of Quelmar.

	=== The City of Dunjana ===		=== The City of Dunjana ===
			Little is known about the Dunjana. Of all the major Undersand Domains, theirs is the most hidden and mysterious. They are believed to live in a hive-like society, and evidence of their existence suggest that their numbers are vast, greatly overshadowing the population numbers of both Merca and Bellovik.

The nation is ruled by a council of chieftains led by a chieftain king.

			Due to their natural might, the nation of Truder found itself with many enemies, including the Snobbites to the south and the Shend to the east. Their nation used to stretch the entire length of Pteris until it was broken into two separate territories by the merging Oppidan Principality. But the nation's greatest enemy lies in the mysterious kingdom of Swikedom who the Trudger people battle on the small but brutal "Killall Front."

			The Oppidan Principality emerged during the year when the second prince of the [[Snobbite Regality]] managed to conquer a vast region of central Pteris Trudger Territory. But instead of claiming this land for the Snobbite Regality, the price decided to split with his family and kingdom and declare himself prince of the new Oppidan Principality. As the realm war continued the prince ruled over their new kingdom with an iron fist. But over time many powerful mercantile factions managed to infiltrate his court and use their financial backing to weaken his power and temperament, leaving him a puppet king near the end of his life.

			The second most populated kingdom next to Snobbite, the kingdom of Oppidan thrives on inter continental trade with surrounding kingdoms. With the power of the crown diminished, much of the region is patrolled by private mercenaries hired by the many merchant houses of Oppidan which keep the peace.
