Aujaq Corazon isn't the only settlement that sits near the Glacier of the Gods The glacier originates high up the slopes of Mount Folly, and upon the peak, carved into the crown of the mountain itself, sits Arx, The Citadel at the Crown of the World. The city of some 11,000 inhabitants rests a staggering 20,000 feet (6,096 meters) above sea level. The Strix, who dominate the population at 60% of the total, see no problem with this. However, the undisputed ruler of the city, Lord Protector Archepex Ravenborn, has seen fit to make the city fit for the wingless races. Stairs are a constant feature as are mechanical lifts, and even the occasional teleportation portal isn't entirely uncommon. That and the fact that 90% of the city is actually underground in tunnels carved by the city's large dwarven minority (at 20%) make the city paradoxically welcoming of visitors. The largest teleportation portal in the world linking Arx and Aujaq Corazon is due to be completed soon which is sure to boost travel and trade in the area.
At the very crown of the city, stretching into the sky another 200 feet, sit the Twin Citadels. On the north is Stoneweaver Sanctum, the best mining, architecture, and structural engineering school in the world. The other, on the South, is the Iron Keep, or the Spike, a black fortress made from the rock quarried from the tunnels beneath. It is by far the wider of the two and bristles with defences. One cannot enter Arx without passing under it's many threatening turrets.
The Strix populous is slow to accept change has yet to adapt to their status as a architectural and engineering wonder. The native Strix gossip constantly about everything and are notoriously shy with newcomers in "their" city. The other races help in this regard. The dwarves especially welcome newcomers and visitors and are generally eagre to show people around to all the various wonders they have designed and built.
The insular Strix and the other races are not completely at peace, however. Corruption and the forces of Law are constantly waging a quiet and cold war over the governance of the city. It has yet to get violent as any open, armed oposition will draw the deadly ire of Lord Ravenborn, but it simmers. Anyone living there long enough will see it sooner or later.

Stabledon is a small town that has served for nearly two centuries as a jumping-off point for the holy of Eotachus who seek to explore the Sandsea, a massive desert filled with the ruined cities of the Cyclopes Empire, as well as Saveanth Li. Archaeologists and explorers alike flock to the city, spending much of their coin on supplies they will need for the trek ahead.
Given the relative prosperity of the town and the presence of nearby Iron Town and the lesser threat of Saveanth Li, the ruling council constantly fears subjugation. While Horselord Selaru Zhekan trains his cavalry as caravan guards to provide better troops and more money for the town, Marshal Lowenthalus Herodus seeks to improve the cities defenses, both via fortifications and seeking to encourage as much immigration as possible.
The enigmatic wizard Oak arrived two decades ago, bought a house on the edge of town, and has stayed inside it for most of that time. His arcane powers ensure his position on the council, but for reasons unknown he does all of his business by proxy, including hiring adventurers to get artifacts hidden in the ruins.
Dovargest Ironbahner, Selaru's second-in-command and owner of the Strongshoe Inn and Stables, grows increasingly frustrated at the lack of active assaults on Iron Town, seeking revenge for the conquests of his homeland by Massereen. It is hard to pass through town without learning of his bounty on goblin ears.

Heh, the north is filling out all of a sudden. There it was the south that looked to be fleshing out first, but so far not much has developed beyond New Ganterton and the Empire of Grandia being a major powerbroker of the region.
We've definitely got a lot of activity on the border between the Central and Western areas now. We've established that Saveanth Li is very close to the central lands, in particular the Hobgoblin Kingdom of Massereen, the Dwarven Kingdom of Kiroth, and the Human Kingdom of Rastria. This puts the Sanasid Mountains, the Desolate Wastes, and the Sandsea all fairly close to each other. Definitely a lot of stuff going on there. A little bit more and we might be able to throw together a (very rough) map of this part of the region.
For a guy who tends to like generating low maguc settings its pushing me towards high ...
Same here, but a cool thing about this project is relinquishing control and accepting the whims of the roll of the dice. It is unfortunate the settlement rules are a bit biased towards high magic, but that's just the way they are. There are many more qualities that increase spellcasting (4, iirc) level than decrease it (only 1). All the more reason to get some more research for other Paizo-published settlement qualities in the hopes that there are a few more spellcasting reducers out there.

Kalteress is a home to outcasts, a place for those who do not have a homeland to call their own and are feared or hated for what they are. It began as a monastery founded by Balsura, born of a half-celestial mother and half-fiendish father. The man had been treated as an abomination where-ever he traveled, but found solace in the faith of Vuni. In her eyes, all life is beautiful regardless of its origin, and in his solitude he found peace. Others followed to seek the wisdom or protection of this legendary half-human, and despite his own antipathy to these followers soon Kalteress had formed as a thriving community around him.
As Kalteress grew, the people of the surrounding lands began to fear the ever-growing population of "monstrous" folk. It was not long before Kalteress came under attack, and it was only by the protection of the mighty Balsura that they survived. The people have since grown far more vigilant, and everyone must study combat or spellcraft - if not both - to help defend the community.
Although Balsura is officially regarded the leader of the community, he has little interest in actually ruling and defers such matters to others. In recent years, this has been Mayor Pernicia Loudes, a human woman who inexplicably never grew any taller than a halfling. The monastery at the center of town is run by Istillanoi and Nysillidos, hand-chosen by Balsura to act as his lieutenants. However, they are explicitly under command not to interfere with the governance of the town itself and their authority extends only to those who train, study, and pray on he monastery grounds.
Most of the humans of Kalteress have some kind of aberrant bloodline to them, but tiefling and aasimar are quite common in the settlement. Fully-fledged half-fiends and half-celestials are much rarer but there are several in the town. Birth defects and congenital diseases are sadly common.
Knowledgeable traders and scholars know that the town is quite safe and welcoming of outsiders, with its monastery in particular being a fascinating trove of knowledge that delves into both celestial and infernal lore. For more ignorant folk in the surrounding lands, it is a place of fear and danger where monsters dwell.

Pearl-by-the-Sea is a large town situated by the sea in the Eastern region, surrounded by vast amounts of graceful nature. The town was founded by as a penal colony but Elisandra de Salazar turned it into a profitable, if shady tourist town. The vast majority of the population are either debtors, indentured servants, or slaves. These citizenry are used to please and pleasure any well-paying guests that stay in the town. Elisandra ruthlessly suppresses political dissidents and keeps order in the town with her spy network and the heartless if not greedy guards.
The citizens of Pearl-by-the-Sea for the most part, mind their own business so that they won't harassed by guards or get a visit at night. The town has strict laws in order to combat the crime, but it is having little effect on the rampant corruption with the officials.
The silent spy network of Pearl-by-the-Sea is run by Roy Carrington who is always looking for eyes and ears around the town; occasionally he requires the odd knife. The citizens of the town are petrified by the spy network and keep to themselves in hopes of not drawing the attention of the mysterious and enigmatic spies.
The town has a small harbor run by Lucilla Gales who keeps track of the customs entering and exiting via the waterways. Lucilla is the only person in town to sell and repair ships. She commands the town's flotilla and it's patrolling duties.
Horace Wilderby is a private investigator trying to bring Good to a troubled town. Most citizens trust him with far more confidence then they do with the town guard. With a higher level of crime coupled with crooked officials, many cases remain unsolved and the citizenry are in desperate need of justice. Those who work under Horace motivated but untrained; most who come to work for him don't last long. He is looking for a group of competent individuals who are able to survive and being justice to the town.

It is said that the Equinox tribe of Sun Giants came to Sol Surian when their prophetess received a divine vision. The tribe found the lands untamed and wild, and true to the goddess's decree a volcano erupted shortly after their arrival. Shortly after settling, they discovered the volcano sat atop a deposit of precious mithral. The giants built their city directly into the mountainside and claimed the mithral as a gift from their god Yenna. The giants welcomed other comes who were drawn to their settlement. The Slag Giants and Fire Giants in particular took well to the volcano environment.
The giants lived for generations in peace, and through their lucrative trade in mithral they have never known famine or poverty. That was until the Empire of Grandia encroached upon their borders. Many of the giants left to join the humans, and bravely fought in the legendary battle of Ganterton. Only a few returned alive, and all they could speak of Ganterton was that the resistance against Grandia was over and Sol Surian would need to sue for peace.
Sol Surian pays a hefty tribute to New Ganterton in the form of mithral, and in return the settlement has been allowed to remain independent even as the lizardfolk territory has engulfed it. The giants have little love for the empire of lizardfolk or their draconic empress, and sympathize greatly with the humans enslaved to the empire, but they have no desire to become slaves themselves and have forsworn further action against Grandia.
Escaped slaves are unlikely to find refuge here, since most giants will simply turn them over to the lizardfolk liaison rather than putting the town at risk by breaking the empress's laws. Most of the non-giant inhabitants are free humans who find this place much more pleasant than any controlled directly by the lizardfolk, but life is hard for non-giants here. A few lizardfolk and kobolds live among the giants, mostly agents of the empire overseeing mithral production and tribute.

Yup, not many people are rolling east. Of course, it'll only take a few rolls to turn that around. The North was even sparser (only 2 settlements) 24 hours ago, but most of the rolls today have landed north so it's actually become one of the more fleshed out.

The capital city of the Kingdom of Emiraba (Which stretches across the southern Sandsea), Muzdanat was founded by the Belaman tribe during the Age of Smoke and Fire, as Djezet was found to enhance the abilities of the shamans. Today, Emiraba stands a prosperous nation, and Muzdanat attracts academics from across the world who wish to study, use, or simply indulge in the mind-expanding Djezet.
The Arcanum (the city's magical university) is run by Skyshaper Nehitan, a powerful wizard who uses Djezet on a daily basis to contact more and more powerful outsiders for the service of the kingdom. Nearby stands the Grand Palace, where Khan Oareyu XIV sits upon his throne. Despite the title, the position is non-hereditary due to the succession wars that would inevitably occur. The Khan's rule has proven to be a just one, although there is grumbling among the merchant class about the restrictions on giving foreign nations or peoples firearms.
The nation's military is overseen by Tsarma of the Burning Wheels, a former tribal who joined the army and worked his way up to becoming general. Under her watch, the soldiers are more disciplined than ever, although she has her doubts on if they can handle their "Thundersticks."
Cerbal Madowd is a retired Paladin who runs the city's most famous inn. He has an ear almost everywhere in the city, and as such helps fuel the town gossip as a semi reputable source.
The city is divided into five districts:
+Muzdanat Proper, which contains the palace, the Arcanum, and the Djezet Aqueduct.
+Down-a-Skid, where most of the upper class live. Supposedly there are alligators in the sewers, but that's just preposterous.
+Gallowie, where the soldiers are housed and a figure in black stalks the streets at night.
+Old Town, which holds the museum and other cultural centers.
+The Gutters, where the wretched, the Djezet addicts, and the poor mingle together in a slum where people will kill for copper. Supposedly Cerbal Madowd is an underboss with half the city under his thumb and the other half in his pocket, but the Khan has stated this to be false.

I believe we're trying to keep it first-party. Those are awesome, though.
Have you taken a look at the additional settlement creation options in this book?I believe we're trying to keep it first-party. Those are awesome, though.
Yes, that's the reason why. There appear to be plenty of Paizo-published settlement qualities out there, I just need some help researching them since I don't own every Paizo book and there's no single source containing all of these. There might be only one or two in any given book, so if anyone can scour the appendices of the adventure paths they own to see if there's a settlement statblock with a new settlement quality that'd be helpful.
Dasrak, is there a reason Stahlund isn't in the North section of the document? Should I go into more detail next time I visit the North?
Must have brain-farted. If there's a king of Stahlund, there's obviously a kingdom of Stahlund, right? It's included now. Just pester me if I miss anything and I'll see it gets added.

Otherwise known as "That Huge Hobgoblin Army Encampment". Ragnashak is the main reason the residents of Kalteress are so militarized. It is actually a permanent military camp at it's core, boasting a standing force just shy of 10,000, 90% of which is Hobgoblin. Everyone here fights. Without exception. Combat is the way of things and anything short of murder or destruction of military equipment is left for the populace to decide with highly ritualized duels. Most people assume it would be a chaotic place. They are wrong. Ragnashak is highly ordered due to literally everyone being a member of the military in some capacity. Even visitors are given a kind of provisional military status upon entering.
Anything that prohibits this way of life is banned, but particularly items of dissent. Concepts like free speech or freedom of assembly are completely foreign to the point of not having terms of their own in the language. There is no media except that produced by the military command.
Warlord by Trial Shattertooth is the leader by way of killing all challengers. He is a huge, nearly indestructible Hobgoblin who commands the power of fire and earth to crush his foes. Next in line is Cracker-of-Bones, an even larger Hobgoblin Barbarian who crushes his enemies the normal way, with a meteor hammer.
The lead mage is Witherroot, a Blight Druid of terrible power who is responsible for the frequent crop failures in the area. He is fully open with the fact that he regularly corrupts the crops of people who refuse the Hobgoblin's protection schemes.
The last significant figure is the Hobgoblin Fetcher, Logistics Extraordinaire. This Hobgoblin can do with next to nothing what most cities employ small armies to do. It is entirely due to his efforts and the efforts of his miniscule team that the city isn't completely overrun with filth and disease (a remarkable accomplishment with a Blight Druid in town).
Otherwise known as "That Huge Hobgoblin Army Encampment". Ragnashak is the main reason the residents of Kalteress are so militarized.
I want to make clear I'm not discouraging anyone here, but I really do feel I need to say this: when you tie your settlement concept to an existing one, you should avoid contradictions and address inconsistencies.
Kalteress was written to be fairly-open ended and allow others to "fill in the blanks" for what other settlements are nearby. However, it did establish a few things. First, it's a refuge for humans with aberrant lineages, so there is by definition a much larger human population in the general vicinity. Second, it establishes that these aberrant lineages are feared, and the motivation for the people who attacked it was fear and ignorance. Thirdly, it establishes that Kalteress' invaders were defeated; the town is still here today, although far more militant as a result.
There's nothing wrong with Ragnashak as a stand-alone settlement, or even with putting it in close proximity to Kalteress. However, it fits extremely poorly as the primary threat to Kalteress. Why do the hobgoblins specifically hate and fear Kalteress? Why do they focus on it instead of other nearby settlements? If Ragnashak was already defeated, how does a military city with no economy of its own continue to survive for years on end? Who is providing funding and supplies to it for such a long and, as yet, fruitless campaign? There's a lot of discrepancies that need to be reconciled here. If you really feel strongly about tying these two concepts together, your writeup needs to at least attempt to answer those questions.
Remember, there's no requirement for you to tie in to existing settlements in your region. This goes double in the east where there are so few settlements right now. And don't take this as a discouragement, either. Rather, I want to encourage people to think about how their cities fit into the world. If you feel like your settlement fits, then go for it. Build on the concept, make both settlements better by establishing a shared history. If it doesn't work, don't force it.
Oh, and minor quibble: when you roll Artifact Gatherers, you have to pick what kind of rare items are being gathered. I suggested Magical, Psychic, or Technological, although lucky7 did Firearms which I thought was clever. Same goes for Resource Surplus, Pious, and Racially Intolerant; feel free to have fun with it, but do make sure you pick something and explain it in the writeup.
I haven't been adding kingdoms - since it's implied it was once a metropolis and has shrunk before starting now to grow again is it an independent city state or did it one belong to one of the other kingdoms?
Perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with independent city states if it works for your concept.

I see your point, and it's valid. I apologise. I should have expounded. Let me write up some more.

Otherwise known as "That Huge Hobgoblin Army Encampment". Ragnashak is the main reason the residents of Kalteress are so militarized. It is actually a permanent military camp at it's core, boasting a standing force just shy of 10,000, 90% of which is Hobgoblin. Everyone here fights. Without exception. Combat is the way of things and anything short of murder or destruction of military equipment is left for the populace to decide with highly ritualized duels. Most people assume it would be a chaotic place. They are wrong. Ragnashak is highly ordered due to literally everyone being a member of the military in some capacity. Even visitors are given a kind of provisional military status upon entering.
Anything that prohibits this way of life is banned, but particularly items of dissent. Concepts like free speech or freedom of assembly are completely foreign to the point of not having terms of their own in the language. There is no media except that produced by the military command.
Warlord by Trial Shattertooth is the leader by way of killing all challengers. He is a huge, nearly indestructible Hobgoblin who commands the power of fire and earth to crush his foes. Next in line is Cracker-of-Bones, an even larger Hobgoblin Barbarian who crushes his enemies the normal way, with a meteor hammer.
The lead mage is Witherroot, a Blight Druid of terrible power who is responsible for the frequent crop failures in the area. He is fully open with the fact that he regularly corrupts the crops of people who refuse the Hobgoblin's protection schemes.
The last significant figure is the Hobgoblin Fetcher, Logistics Extraordinaire. This Hobgoblin can do with next to nothing what most cities employ small armies to do. It is entirely due to his efforts and the efforts of his miniscule team that the city isn't completely overrun with filth and disease (a remarkable accomplishment with a Blight Druid in town).
The city is supplied by a mix of constant raiding, protection rackets, extortion, and straight up robbery. They also have a population of slaves working various fields around the city itself, though this counts for a relatively tiny portion of the overall economy. The slaves are not counted in the population and are generally neglected apart from tax time. They also boast a massive weapons and armor trade with practically anyone with coin to spend.
Many theories exist as to why the Hobgoblins don't just move on. Kaltress isn't going anywhere and the threat Ragnashak poses was greatly reduced when the smaller town repulsed the initial Hobgoblin attack. The answer is politics. Woven into the highly regimented and militaristic society of the Hobgoblins is a strong undercurrent of perceived status and honor. Some crimes are committed just to test how well one performs in the judicial dual that follows. All this has put Warlord by Trial Shattertooth in a difficult spot. Any attempt to abandon the campaign against Kaltress would produce an immediate challenge and fight to the death from his second, Cracker-of-Bones, and Shattertooth honestly doesn't know who would come out on top. Add to that any number of high ranking officers that would gladly initiate challenges if his hold were to waver for even a second and you have a very precarious situation. If he stays this "camp" will slowly run out of resources. If he goes he risks death at worst and a terrible smear on his honor at best.
While I do like what you wrote there, I feel you're still stepping around the biggest issue: the lore of Kalteress explicitly says its attackers were motivated by fear and ignorance. Or, put another way, Kalteress wouldn't have been attacked at all if it were populated by regular humans. This isn't a minor point or quibble (I wouldn't brought it up in the first place otherwise), I regard it as the defining characteristic of the settlement. Or, to quote the Kalteress writeup:
Kalteress is a home to outcasts, a place for those who do not have a homeland to call their own and are feared or hated for what they are...
As Kalteress grew, the people of the surrounding lands began to fear the ever-growing population of "monstrous" folk. It was not long before Kalteress came under attack...
For more ignorant folk in the surrounding lands, it is a place of fear and danger where monsters dwell.
Does that narrative match the one you're writing for Ragnashak? In the end, I cannot and will not say "no" to Ragnashak. However, I am concerned that we have essentially two completely incompatible narratives, one telling the story of violence being enacted out of fear and ignorance and the other of violence being enacted out of pride and greed. They do not fit at all.
As I said earlier, if the shoe doesn't fit, don't force it.

Well, it looks like I'm returning to New Ganterton and the Empire of Grandia today. Also gives me a chance to flesh out the relation between GM Rednal's Asuroc Hollow and the Empire a bit more.

Clayvon is a heavily militarized city on the border of the empire of Grandia, with the free city of Asuroc Hollow visible in the distance. Tensions are always high, with the free city acting as an impediment to further northward expansion and limiting the empire's expansionist aims. Clayvon was originally a small cotton-growing town, but an influx of Lizardfolk soldiers has transformed it into a military installation designed to intimidate and isolate Asuroc Hollow in preparation of eventual war. The surrounding villages still grow cotton, and the city still serves as a regional distribution center for imports and exports. However, boats cannot travel further upriver without entering Asuroc Hollow's territory, and this has prevented economically viable expansion past this point. Due to the proximity to the enemy, land ownership in the provincial district surrounding Clayvon is heavily restricted.
Clayvon is commanded by Dagley Richards, a lizardfolk who is secretly a human sympathizer. Dagley carefully smuggles slaves out of the country through Asuroc Hollow, carefully using the intelligence provided by the spymaster Rip Zachsin (also a sympathizer) to ensure his handlers are none-the-wiser. He must carefully balance prostrating himself before the authority of the crown, maintaining the loyalty and support of his troops, avoiding a catastrophic war with Asuroc Hollow, and helping as many slaves as possible escape the country. It is not an easy task, but so far the crafty captain has managed with only a handful of scares.
The worship of Zekelor is popular in Clayvon. Although regarded as heresy by the imperial palace, an inquisition is not possible, as such a show of weakness would only embolden Asuroc Hollow. Captain Richards, for his part, finds the worshipers of Zekelor a double-edged sword. They make for excellent scapegoats when problems need to be explained to the palace, while simultaneously making those same soldiers distrusting of the imperial magistrate and more sympathetic to the captain. However, the same followers of Zekelor also have no sympathy for the humans and believe war with Asuroc Hollow would be guaranteed to end in victory (after all, scalykind are inherently superior) which complicates Captain Richard's other goals. Asuroc Hollow's constant show of magic has made the local military force distrusting of magic in general, regarding it as the tool of the enemy and prizing martial steel instead.
The other powerbroker in Clayvon, other than Dagley Richards, is Magistrate Droshin, a green dragon who serves the empress. Droshin is arrogant, ambitious, and powerful, but also very prone to flattery and believing what he wants to hear. The palace has replaced priestesses in the town repeatedly over the past several years for failing to put down the local heresy. Dagley has convinced Droshin that he is fully subservient and cooperative to the will of the priestess, and the dragon has repeatedly reported this faithful compliance so all blame for failure falls upon the successive stream of priestesses. Droshin considers Dagley the only true friend he's made among lesser creatures (non-dragons), although in truth their relationship involves Dagley constantly stoking the dragon's ego while pulling wool over his eyes. The latest priestess to arrive is Hailey Harthfeldt, who did not want the assignment and laments that she will fail like all those before her and have to face the palace's ire.

I see your point there. And what I wrote reinforces your point. Shattertooth would not be motivated by fear. Ignorance, yes, but not fear.
I'll write up another city and make that the main antagonist for Ragnashak. Kaltress can just be a victim of standard raids (a good reason for them to maintain their militarization).
I give full credit to the one whom created Moloh Cali. Very cool dirty and works for the town I'm creating.
According to the spreadsheet, that was TheChelaxian who created that one. Actually one of the very first contributions to the deity list.

Doesn't mean you can't write a settlement that's attacking Kalteress, but it should fit into the existing narrative, that's all. "If the shoe fits" is a metaphor that works both ways. Maybe next time you roll east you'll get a bunch of insular and racially intolerant humans, and you'll know exactly what to do with them ;-)

Thank you Dasrak and thank you TheCheliaxian.
You are quite welcome. Ol' Moloh Cali was the more "interesting" of the two demon lords I created. Yutobe was kind of a desperate metaphor against Youtube comments shameless admission noises. I was inspired by the old Hindu traditions of burning family members on a patriarch's funeral pyres for Moloh Cali's worship (he himself named after Moloch of Jewish mythos and Kali the Hindu goddess of death). Thank you for your interest, use and abuse!
Edit I will use the weekend to contribute more to the building of the world's settlements. Hoping to add to the Hobgoblin ... Empire, I guess? That or their kingdom.

50 miles south of Targhuzia lies Yennato Nuar, based atop the great Mountain of Tourahin. Founded a millenium ago by a group of Fetchling refugees fleeing persecution during the Cinderback Invasion, Yennato Nuar stands as a trade hub for all of the major mountain cities. Their airships, formed of metal mined from within the mountain, are piloted by the mysyerious Navigators, who control the vessels with their minds.
All news on traffic coming through the city passes to Harbormaster Dharta at some point, as he makes it his business to keep tabs on any foreigners, seeking to prevent a second Crusade of Illumination (the massacres that caused them to flee all those centuries ago.)
Grand Mayor Pratimala Kuram watches the traffic from her estate in the Peak district. A shrewd diplomat, Kuram seeks to extend the trade power of the city-state as far south as New Ganterton. She has offered a bounty of 50,000 gold pieces on improvements to an airships longevity, leading many arcane scholars and engineers to the city.
The law is maintained by Spahbod, the mysterious leader of the city guard. He is locked into conflict with The Opportunist, a halfling who attempts to distribute stolen wealth among the poor.
Yennato Nuar is divided into three districts, based on elevation:
+The Harbors, where most non-fetchlings live, as well as most religious minorities. The great Skydocks are here, airships constantly leaving and going, Wizards directing the madness with their magic.
+The Twins: The merchant class lives here in a district named after the city's founders.
+The Peak: Here the fabled splendor of the city is seen: the streets are paved with silver and the houses of the ever-scheming Great Families give way to magnificent cathedrals and museums honoring the sacrifices of the founding citizens.
It is a center of learning, of Sorcerous talent and the God-Touched, those favored by Virasha - the Godess of the Serpentflk, the Viskanya
Deities need to be taken from the Homebrew Pantheon collection, you can't just create your own (well, you can, but it has to be done in accordance with the random generation rules).
Your options for deities with a lawful neutral alignment and the scalykind domain are Borehelos and Dir'ao.
I made a derp. If Targhuzia has 9th level Spellcasting, could you bump up Neruu to whatever level he needs to be to cast that high?
I bumped up everyone by roughly the same amount (if there's an 18th level oracle in town, a 10th level barbarian ain't leading a coup any time soon). Let me know if you want to change anything:
High Communer Neruu Oldblood (LN Yeti Oracle (Stars) 18)
Toraya of the Winds (NE Yeti Barbarian/18)
Underfoot the Unlikely (NG Halfling Druid [Reincarnated Druid]/17
Sarruh T'Khan of the Knifefolk (CN Yeti Slayer/15)
Ara A'Thim, Keeper of the Ashes (TN Yeti Alchemist/12)
I will use the weekend to contribute more to the building of the world's settlements. Hoping to add to the Hobgoblin ... Empire, I guess? That or their kingdom.
We've got one Hobgoblin Kingdom (Massereen) in the central lands whose influence extends slightly into the west, and now we have talk of some hobgoblins in the east. I suspect we're probably talking about two different groups of Hobgoblins, but I guess that depends on whims whoever rolls "core or featured" next and decides to go hobgoblin with it :-P

That's excellent. Thank you.
Also, I have no idea what the heck a Cinderback is, so feel free to make up whatever you want about them; there's nothing set in stone yet, except that they invaded some big Central power a while back.

It also just occurred to me this world is perfectly set up for dungeons:
Q. Why is there a Bulette down here?
A. Izreus!
That should be a meme.

I figured that was the case, I just haven't generated anything yet in the north that fits the bill.
Also, friendly reminder: please remember to fill in your population totals. I don't mind making minor formatting corrections, but if the information isn't there in the first place, not much I can do.

That comment wasn't directed at you. Sorry, I should have been clearer. That was just a general "please be aware" because it's a pretty common mistake that other people are making.

An offshoot group of zealots declaring their loyalty to Thurgog deserted the kingdom of Massereen some twelve years ago, beginning a wave of carnage that stretched well into the western lands. After a decade of battle, the hobgoblin force is depleted and weary, with no sign of the final battle promised by their god to be seen. Facing mutiny and reduced to only her most loyal warriors, the leader Vaurnigon established a base camp to rebuild their fighting strength. In the intervening years, Thurgrios has become a permanent settlement and bastion dedicated to the god Thurgog.
The many clerics among the hobgoblins have been busy creating undead, and capturing live sacrifices to make deals with evil outsiders. The surrounding lands are now completely infested with monsters aligned with the town, and the hobgoblins continue to march out to battle on a regular basis. While the original intent was to grow their numbers, the hobgoblins have only dwindled further with their continued battles. Whether the population will stabilize or the last of the living in Thurgrios will perish remains to be seen, but for the foreseeable future these hobgoblins remain a menace to everything within their reach.

I found some more settlement qualities; Cultured, Defiant, No Questions Asked, and Deep Traditions have all been added to the random table. The script has been updated to use them. Also there's the Martial Law disadvantage, if you're inclined to use it. These are all from the Hell's Rebels AP. I completely forgot I had the first three in PDF form from the Humble Bundle. New settlement qualities are all over the place in AP's, it seems, but I just don't own very many of them so my ability to do the research is limited. I'd great appreciate anyone taking a look through their AP's and seeing if the settlements described in them just happen to have new and unique qualities.
