Lore
Vulcanus is one of the chief leaders of an undercity, a grim, harsh-mouthed and bad-tempered ruler who embodies a lord both terrifying and not unjust. Some call him a tyrant and long for the kings of better days, yet his city has virtually no crime and none of the chaos or famine of other regions. He is also a soldier: an expert in siege equipment and a marksman with a heavy crossbow customized to drive arrows through the heaviest armour.
He descends from pioneers who decided that the answer to freezing surface temperatures was to go low. Adventurers, scholars, exiled nobles, criminals and desperados took refuge in underground areas already held by the Windbreaker Tribe; war followed, then union out of a common concern for humanity, and his own people later split into sects that fight one another more than the Windbreakers. His group founded Thaleira on ground the Windbreakers had never settled because they held it cursed, a Forbidden Zone whose ruins still keep explorers from returning. Vulcanus has not gone in himself, but believes the killing power inside might bring life back to a world slain by ice, and offers a great reward for its secret.
The Zone draws adventurers from across the land. Rufus, a fair-skinned giant with a flowing mane of red hair, was guided past Thaleira's sentries by a mysterious elder and barely survived what he met inside before stumbling into the arms of the city guard. Vulcanus had him taken to the Palace as an honoured guest and questioned him often, but Rufus remembers nothing beyond the gates and refuses to return. Soon after, a Phaethon contingent attacked Thaleira to reach the ruins; the defence proved stronger than expected, and the two men forged a lasting bond on the battlements. A well-defended Phaethon outpost still stands nearby, and Vulcanus bides his time to expel it.
