Raven's point #36: A desolate shore where waves crash mercilessly against the rocks. This cold location is home to naught but a single tower melded to the rock at the time of the tear of the world when all existence was redistributed. The tower has aged and now crumbles in multiple places, serving as home to many avians. The point is a landmark for fisherman and traders on their way to polidan's gap though it is not a high point in the journey for any time they pass by they feel watched by the tower, the tower is populated by numerous black birds, some larger than others. Ironthal point #15: A town of engineering and steel, Steam, fire and metal permeate the town of blackmiths and the smell of burning material is ever present. Settled becaouse of the great deopsits of iron ore buried there, this is the principle place to aquire metal tools and weapons. Technological fabricator serve as neighbors to the masters of the hammer and the forge. It has no need for a lighthouse for the smoke that billows from this town can be seen from many miles away. Silverthal point #16: Named not for it's works of metal but for the glistening beauty of it's magics, the enchantments on it's buildings give them a sheen unlike any that could be polished into stone. It's grand tower shines as a beacon in night, guiding ships to the island who cannot see the smoke of it's sister city in the darkness. Silverthal transcribes magic tomes, crafts staves and provide magical knowledge to those that come to seek it. Edited by Kusuriurite, Jul 29 2011, 09:09 PM.

#1 Arindale- Island with subartic climate. Its geography ranges from extremely ruggid rocky areas with steep clifs, to even flat open areas. Because of the cold nature of the island the coldest tempratures are experienced in the wide open areas thanks to the wind chill. These bone numbing tempratures are reduced in the more ruggid areas. |

Science Level: Low Magic Level: Low Description: Lindellin was the furthest garrison state of a former cavalry empire stretching from the Tavran Springs, through Dendros, and finally to Lindellin.

Region#3 = Lonsalindel Sentient Races: Human Merchants Creatures: Oxen, Horses Terrain: Urbanized flatland Settlement Details Earth Equivalent: Beijing Housing: Wide boulevards, walled villas next to cramped concrete apartment complexes. Foreign Relations: Mercantilistic, oppressed by Lindellin, monopolizes trade between Dendros and Lindellin. Former colony of Hangmen's Rest, but lost contact with their superiors so now deals exclusively with Mongoloids. Serves as a mentor for Dendros; many Dendrosians learn mercantilism in Lonsalindel, but this has yet to develop into an alliance. Science Level: High Magic Level: Low Description: A large, asiatic city made up of minorities from Hangmen's Rest. A long time ago, the Hangmen's Navy had a small trade mission here, but after their attention went south, the people were abandoned. Out of necessity, they developed a stringent artisan trade and system of agriculture. The educated stratified society by private ownership of land, and the artisan masters competed with each other until they achieved perfection in weaponry, tools, and animal-drawn vehicles. The city is ringed by a community of farms, who pay their taxes in food and are often the target of Lindellin raids. Edited by Zepp, Aug 1 2011, 09:06 PM.

Region#4 = Dendros Sentient Races: Mongoloid Merchants Creatures: Horses Terrain: Coastal Lowlands Settlement Details Earth Equivalent: Manchuria Housing: Huts Foreign Relations: Originally the same tribe as Lindellin and Tavran Springs, but came under the influence of Lonsalindel and adapted their customs. As such, their militaristic culture has been tempered by a strong mind for trade - and many Dendrosian warriors buy their weapons from Lonsalindel, and use more strategy than those in Tavran and Lindellin. Science Level: Moderate Magic Level: Low Edited by Zepp, Aug 1 2011, 08:54 PM.

Region#5 = Tarvan Springs Sentient Races: Mongoloid Shamans Creatures: Horses Terrain: Volcanic Lowlands Settlement Details Earth Equivalent: Mongolia Housing: Tents Foreign Relations: Homeland of Dendros and Lindellin, but no longer exerts control over them - beyond religious. Shuns Lonsalindel customs. Fears the forests of Cairnwood, and as such does not enter them. Science Level: Low Magic Level: High Description: A land of active volcanoes and hot springs from which all the Mongoloids originated. Power is monopolized by weaponless shamen, surrounded by extremely militaristic cavalry warriors. Few dare to trespass on this territory, and those who do may fear the terrain as much as those who reside within it. Edited by Zepp, Aug 1 2011, 09:01 PM.
