  Regional Advantages and Templates
  The united isles of the Three Kingdoms share a common heritage, but have been shaped by various forces over the 
  centuries that has led to a greater diversity than would be expected for such a small nation. The following 
  information for the peoples of the areas of the Three Kingdoms is not limited to only for the Nobles of these areas. 
  The 7th SeaTM Mechanics section gives the regional advantage for that location for character creation in the d10 
  roleplaying system. The d20TM System Mechanics section gives favored classes, skills and languages for each 
  group. For the Highland Marches and Inismore, the languages section replaces the automatic languages for an 
  Avalon character as given the in the Swashbuckling AdventuresTM rulebook. The Cymric language given in a few 
  sections is the ancient language of the Three Kingdoms (which would approximate to Celtic or Gaelic languages in 
  our world) and is coming back into use with the rise of Elaine and the return of the Sidhe.
  Avalon
  Balig
  In theory a puppet state of King Piram, Balig appears more impoverished than it actually is, all for the benefit of the 
  Breg tax collectors. With its main city of Canguine under a Sidhe curse, it has become a haven for pirates and other 
  ne’er-do-wells.
  7th SeaTM Mechanics
  When purchasing the Courtier Skill, Balig Heroes automatically gain Sincerity at Rank 1, but purchasing the Noble 
  Advantage costs 3 extra HP.

  Breg
  If there was a revolt against Queen Elaine, it can be certain that the county of Breg will be near the centre of the 
  plot. King Piram quietly plots against the current rule, still burning about his defeat during the unification of the 
  Three Kingdoms.
  7th SeaTM Mechanics
  Heroes from Breg may purchase the Donovan School for only twenty HP. If they do so, however, they must take a 
  Hubris for which they only receive 8 HP.

  Camlann 
  The ancient seat of power for Avalon, Camlann is a land ruled by its passions and marked by influence from 
  Inismore. With the Sea Dogs and Explorer’s Society based out of the port of Cardican, a naval tradition 
  complements their abilities in Sidhe Glamour.
  7th SeaTM Mechanics
  If you are a Glamour sorcerer, you receive two extra points of Glamour Knacks during hero creation, but you 
  receive five fewer HP than usual and must take a 1-point Obligation Background, representing a Sidhe whom you 
  owe a favor.

  Gaavane 
  The small province containing the sacred Grumweald forest is under the direct control of the powerful and

  Lothian 
  The people of the northern Avalon province of Lothian are as wild and untamed as the rugged countryside, no doubt 
  due to their historical connections with the Highland Marches. Duke Carlyle cuts a very distinguished appearance 
  when in Elaine’s court, with his thick kilt and even thicker accent.
  7th SeaTM Mechanics
  You receive the Hunter Skill for free, but you may not purchase the Courtier Skill under any circumstances.

  Lovaine 
  The largest province of Avalon contains both its current capital of Carleon and the former Montaigne capital of 
  Luthon. Steeped in Glamour since the return of Elaine, it is here that you are most likely to spot the Sidhe or one of 
  a number of fantastical beasts.
  7th SeaTM Mechanics
  Residents of Lovain receive twice as much income as normal and receive one Free Raise when performing 
  Reputation actions in the Triple Kingdoms. However, all checks to resist the effects of Glamour have their TN’s 
  raised by 5

  Percis
  As the nearest coast to Montaigne, the county of Percis has had a long tradition of trade that has caused it to grow 
  rich. It is also now populated by dozens of Montaigne emirgés, calling in old favors to escape the terrors of the 
  Revolution.
  7th SeaTM Mechanics
  All Percis’ Heroes speak Montaigne for free, but purchasing Glamour costs 
  two higher HP than usual.

  Inismore
  Carrig
  The estate of the O’Toole family is the most powerful in Inismore, and if it were not for the O’Bannon it is likely an 
  O’Toole would run the nation. Spurned by the Sidhe, the O’Toole family constantly look for new allies and resources 
  to take the power they see as rightfully theirs.
  7th SeaTM Mechanics
  Whenever more than one of your dice explode during a single roll, your GM receives a Drama die that may only be 
  used against you. You gain the Scoundrel Advantage for free.

  Dreenan 
  Formerly a prosperous area under the Avalon lords, the estate of the O’Brien family has deteriorated into crime and

  Avalon, Inismore, or the Highland Marches.
