A female Halfling wearing a shiney chain shirt and pink cloak comes running in, late for the meeting, singing to herself. Smiling as she approaches.

"This sounds so exciting. I have never been to Xielan Island before. Have any of you? I wonder if I have a map for where we are going? Oh I am so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Dora. My pleasure to have this chance to adventure with you." the Halfling bows to each of you.

"Until recently, I did not have any special titles. I guess technically I can be called "Champion of the Ruby Phoenix", but I still am embarrassed to use it. I was originally a language instructor for a group of barbarians, and having little success, found myself assigned to a band of ninjas. I have learned a bit about tactics and battles over the past year, so that is where I have concentrated my studies since. That, and a few odd assignments for the Society hunting Aspis agents in the tapestry. Oh and this is Rust..."

She points to a very large orange-red wolf outside.

"♪♫♪♫ Right is might, so fight, fight fight!!! ♪♫ " (inspired +2 atk/+2 dmg)

The great Shoanti chieftan Galstak Sevendeaths (who has resurrected seven times) united the Sklar-Quah and Skoan-Quah tribes and led a massive raid into Korvosan territory in 4462 AR sparking off what is commonly known as the Last Shoanti War. The war lasted 26 years until the Korvosan Guard killed Galstak in 4488 AR and prevented his eighth ressurrection.

The Battle of Nagisa was fought in 2089 AR by the Taldan forces of the Sixth Army of Exploration against the Gorilla King in the jungles of the Mwangi Expanse.
The battle itself was a crushing defeat for the Taldans, as the Gorilla king and his followers, the Spawn of Angazhan, successfully ambushed the army at the ruined city of Nagisa. A handful of soldiers managed to escape the carnage, to report to the rest of world the horrors within the jungle.
During the battle, the Taldan forces lost the Worldbreaker, the largest artillery piece ever constructed.

The Everwar began in 4305 AR as the Wars of Expansion at the command of King Haliad III of Cheliax. The purpose of this war was to spread Chelaxian control farther north into lands that came to include Molthune, Nidal, Varisia, and the Hold of Belkzen. It persisted through the reign of five Chelish monarchs until ending in 4410 AR. During the war Cheliax gained control of Nidal in 4338 AR and established Korvosa within Varisia in 4407 AR.
During the Everwar, an expeditionary force was sent from Cheliax into Northern Garund. A foothold was established in Northwestern Rahadoum in the province of Kharijite. To this day, the people in that region consider themselves more Chelish than Rahadoumi.

The Battle of a Hundred Kings took place in 4639 AR and proved to be the decisive battle in the thirty year civil war that erupted in Cheliax following the death of Aroden.
House Thrune and its devilish allies defended the forts of the city of Corentyn from a joint attack by the army of House Davian and a navy funded in part by Baron Grallus of Sargava.

The sorceress Hao Jin left an indelible mark upon the land of Tian Xia. Throughout her centuries-long life, Hao Jin—a devout follower of Abadar, god of contracts, wealth, and order—set out to amass her own First Vault, a collection of those items she deemed most perfect or wondrous in all the world.

Among the many Abadaran pacts and contracts that dictated Hao Jin’s life was her carefully contracted agreement with the temple of Abadar in Goka regarding the fate of her collection in the event of her eventual death. Yet in 6891 ic (Imperial Calendar; 4391 ar), a recordkeeper at Goka’s Grand Bank of Abadar informed the archbanker that a decade and a day had passed since the Ruby Phoenix last visited the temple. The preparations were made to conduct the first Ruby Phoenix Tournament 10 years later. Each decennial since, the greatest champions from across Golarion have vied for the victors’ spot.
