The Suzak-mar

There is deep mystery that surrounds the people from the sands.

The people now known as the Suzak-Mar are the last survivors of the continent of LaShar, far to the east. Their grand civilizations boasted bustling metropolises, great feats of engineering and magic, and tranquil villages. Plague, unprecedented natural disasters, evolving monsters, and an abundance of other curses forced them to seek refuge in the last bastion, Tengo. The Council of Viziers led the survivors, following the brightest star Suzak, across a newly formed land-bridge. As they arrived in the new land, a great storm called The Weeping washed the bridge away, and any hope of returning home.

Now, in The March, surrounded by unfamiliar landscapes and challenges, the Suzak-Mar draw on their collective strength and memories. They seek to rebuild and rise anew, their spirit undeterred by the sorrows of the past.

Meet your out-of-game leadership

  • Lynn Painter [Roshan]

    Culture Lead

    Hey everybody! I play Han Roshan in game, and mostly you’ll just hear people call me by my character’s first name of Roshan. Before coming on as the Culture Lead of the Suzak-Mar, I wore a lot of different hats at Reckoning as a lore writer for the Suzak, in-game quest contact, in-character important person, and weird obsessive crafter with all the advice. I’ve been LARPing since 2023, roleplaying live for over two decades, and in positions of leadership just as long. I’m a forever-GM for tabletop RPGs and just generally love people. Happy to be a part of creating this wonderful game we all play together.

    In game, Roshan, last of the Han family, currently serves the Suzak-Mar as the highest ranking Darner Guard in their capital city of Blackfield. Part stoic civil defense officer, part charismatic politician, Han Roshan is adept at both observation and manipulation. In recent years they’ve become a potent, often invisible advisor to those in power. Few know Roshan on a personal level, but those who get a glimpse behind the professionalism see a genuine person trying to heal, and a deep well of emotion that drives them to protect all Suzak-Mar as family.

  • Matt [Albazi Ea-Nasir]

    Culture Lieutenant

    Hey-o. I'm Matt and I've only been larping for about 2 years now. Before that I was active in the SCA and more recently in HEMA. I'm a fencing enthusiast and generally just someone with too many hobbies. I'm always happy to help out, and I'm excited to be staff for Rec.

    In game, I play Albazi Ea-Nasir, a Warrior, the trade minister for the Suzak-Mar and a general layabout. He can usually be found running his tea shop when he's not running around trying to put out (metaphorical) fires. He's a bit grumpy, mostly at being given more and more responsibilities, but he's always willing to lend a hand.

  • Julie McMillin [Morgiana Jabir]

    Culture Lieutenant

    Julie McMillin has been role playing for 20+ years, writing/NPC-ing RenQuest(TM) since 2008, and is the Social Media Director for Renaissance Entertainment Productions, the team behind the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire in California, the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Wisconsin, and the New York Renaissance Faire. She lives with her husband, two children, and two corgis just outside Chicago. She, too, learned about Reckoning through Skill Tree and cannot wait for the next game to arrive.

    Morgiana Jabir is often found at her stall in whatever bazaar happens to be closest! With wares she's uncovered from the past year for everyone, fresh jerky for those who know to ask to see the secret stock, and true prophecies for those who are willing to place themselves in danger, she'll happily wheel and deal with everyone who has gossip for Aunt Morgiana.
