Knife's Edge is a mysterious otherworldly city borne aloft in the sky by thousands of giant wings. It recently appeared in the Heavens above the world, and contact with its inhabitants has yet to be made by the indigenous inhabitants of the lands beneath it.

The Broken Swords Festival is an annual festival celebrated by Maorict [note]Maorict people are supposed to be a combination of Pictish and Maori. Could not think of a more clever name ATM.[/note] people across the land, whether in large numbers or familial units. The festival commemorates King Brendaneru's victory at the battle of Countless Gulch, in which he is reported to have broken over a hundred swords over his enemies head. The battle of Thousand Gulch occurred over four-hundred years ago and was the turning point for the Maorict people, who were on the verge of extinction.
   The festival (in more elaborate celebrations) involves a short reenactment of the battle, and the breaking of hundreds of handmade swords.

Bob, lord of the dance is the most powerful being in the universe. He is said to of danced reality into existence though there is fierce debate on whether the dance of creation was the mamba or more akin to a line dance. The war of seven nations was caused by such a dispute when one wizard claimed that Bob was most fond of dancing in the moonlight while the collegium ultima holds that he is a sun loving guy and was quite miffed by such baseless claims.

The Sunna-Voragian sect claims that Bob, lord of the Dance is in fact a woman. Deemed heretics by the people that make such rules, they have started an underground movement, in which images of Bob, lord of the Dance are feminized.

Halflings once lived in a secluded country of gentle valleys and green hills, but some time ago the dread necromancer Moracanth the Merciless moved into the vicinity.  Finding the Halflings' hidden little kingdom relatively unprotected she mounted a dark campaign to convert the hapless little folk into obedient servants.  Using her fell magic and preexisting servants Moracanth slew and reanimated all but a few Halflings.  Those few survivors dug deep into the earth, to mount a guerrilla war against the necromancer and her minions.  The rest of the Halflings, however, are now cadaverous soldiers in Moracanth's diabolical army - a rotting horde of child-sized zombies under the necromancer's personal control.  The Halflings' country has become a blighted waste from which Moracanth launches her raids.  Stories of the Half-Pint Horrors and their ghoulish depredations are now all too common.

Gnomes abandoned the land long ago, taking to the skies in amazing mechanical vessels.  Almost all gnomes live in massive, self-sufficient airships like floating cities.  Powered by bottled lightning harvested from stormclouds, these flying settlements roam the heavens, filled with technological marvels that would make even the Dwarves jealous.  Gnomes consider it bad luck to touch the ground, and only do so in emergency; afterwords, elaborate ceremonies are required to purge the bad luck from a tainted individual.

The Gnomamancer is a fell being who was once a gnome wizard but has since turned himself into a bloated wight that sails the heavens on membranous wings. He demands tribute from gnome cities in the form of young gnome maidens, which he devours. If a city refuses to pay tribute he will cut the tethers of their airships gasbag, sending the city plunging to its doom.
