The ruler of Teutonia: Adolf Hitler, leader of The Nazi Party

With regards to the Nazi party, here are some brief notes:

* They possess unknown technology
* They have a base on the Moon
* Hitler rides a Tyrannosaurus Rex
* They have a colony in the Hollow Earth
* Rumored gates to Lemuria, alliance with the derro
* Hitler has been cloned, 12 times -- these clones exist in Brasil

Prespos

Ps.
The reasons for this are:

* Sturmgeschutz && Sorcery (Best of Dragon, Vol. I).
* Castle Redstar campaign, Session #100.
* Hitler is mentioned in the DMG, along with Caesar and Napoleon.

Basically, in the year 943 on Aerth, a gate was opened between Deustchland and Teutonia. (Think Stargate). The current year is 1016, and, what is left of the Third Reich has explored Aerth, from Inner Aerth (where they have strongholds), to Amazonia (12 clone bunker-dungeons), to the general area of Tibet (no strongholds there, but these expeditions were an echo of the rumored Thule Society).

In Teutonia, their technology is limited, highly guarded, and, conserved. Simply, they were only able to move so much out of the massive gate, before the fall of the Third Reich in 1945. Basically, all items && vehicles from TRACTICS / Sturmgeschutz && Sorcery can be found somewhere in Teutonia.

Old bridge built into the rock.



Bastei Bridge, Germany

Quote:
The Bastei is a rock formation towering 194 metres above the Elbe River in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains of Germany. Reaching a height of 305 metres above sea level, the jagged rocks of the Bastei were formed by water erosion over one million years ago. They are situated near Rathen, not far from Pirna southeast of the city of Dresden and are the major landmark of the Saxon Switzerland National Park. They are also part of a climbing and hiking area that extends over the borders into the Bohemian Switzerland (Czech Republic).

The Bastei has been a tourist attraction for over 200 years. In 1824, a wooden bridge was constructed to link several rocks for the visitors. This bridge was replaced in 1851 by the present Bastei Bridge made of sandstone. The rock formations and vistas have inspired several well-known artists, among them Caspar David Friedrich (i.e. "Felsenschlucht" )

Rumor has it that there is an Ice Princess who lives in the mountains of Teutonia. It is said that there is a gate the para-elemental plane of Ice in the center of her palace, and, that many creatures from that plane roam it's icy halls and chambers. Everything is said to be covered in ice, including the floor: explorers would put themselves at extreme risk of slipping and falling. Should the rumors be true, this is perhaps a location best avoided: from all accounts, it seems that only the most experienced of adventurers would have a chance of survival, in this place.

The leader ov Teutonia, Adolf Hitler, is Lawful Good. (He put on a helm of alignment change).

He regrets 100% of the things that he has said and done.

Adventure Hook: Hitler seeks to destroy his clones in Amazonia. He is seeking brave parties of adventurers to do this. There are also Nazi bases in the Inner Aerth.

There are rumors of Pot-smoking Nazi Zombies that make up the military ov Teutonia. (PNZ Units).

As well, there are rumors of an extremely potent form ov Meth that has been created by the Nazi Alchemists of the Fourth Reich: dicocamethalysergamphetamine.
At the very least, this gives one compleat && total immunity to the sleep spell. It counts as a stimulant, with possible CONsequences, as prescribed on page 83(?) of the DMG.
Last but not least, it is said to induce a very powerful form of hallucinatory insaninty (again, cf. DMG.83).

Note that this sauce has been BANNED IN FRANCIA.
The Francians consider it a disgusting concoction, since it tends to overpower the delicate && subtle tastes of the Francian cuisines.

Teutonia is one of the 5 foremost realms of Aerth, when it comes to the use of elemental magick (the others being Francia, Aegypt, Hy Braseal, and Ch'in). In the year 944, when the Third Reich arrived, they were unable to take their air force through the massive gate, which enabled the moving of vast amounts of military equipment, including many tanks. However, they have made up for this loss through the creation of a second wermacht, one that employs air elementals on the field of battle. Keep in mind that elementals are immune to normal weapons, and, that a single elemental can destroy an entire human army!
