Region#12 = Quervas'lain

Sentient Races: Human Druids, Pirates, Fishermen, Tropical Elves
Creatures: Fish, Birds
Terrain: Tropical Archipelago

Settlement Details
Earth Equivalent: Ryukyu Islands
Housing: Huts
Foreign Relations: Neutral with Hangmen's Rest, Lydel and Arkam'sul
Science Level: Moderate
Magic Level: Moderate

Description: An expatriate community from Hangmen's Rest formed by fleeing druids, who founded their own society. For years it was regarded as a backwards tribalistic culture and until they started opening palatial tourist resorts. Bikinis and grass skirted elves are not uncommon. Deserting sailors become pirates, and raid cargo and tourists alike. The former religious-concerned druids exist now in name only, and mainly pay attention to their profits and bottom lines. At times, Arkam'sulites flee their country, making first landfall at Quervas'lain.

Region#13 = Arkam'sul

Sentient Races: Human Lords, Samurai, Tropical Elves, Forest Elves, Dark Elves
Creatures: Horses, Domesticated Tragnix
Terrain: Hilly island chain

Settlement Details
Earth Equivalent: Japan
Housing: Paper walled houses, large stone castles, forest villages
Foreign Relations: Non-existent. Totally isolated and hostile to outsiders; separatists operate a small trading enclave in Quervas'lain.
Science Level: High
Magic Level: High

Description: A fiercely independent and militaristic offshoot of Lonsalindel. Xenophobic, they isolated themselves from all other cultures, using a heavily elf-derived society to groom their culture and military prowess. The state language is Elvish, all but unknown to most normal humans. English-speaking separatists trade with Hangmen's Rest in a tiny outpost in Quervas'lain with heavily armed merchant vessels. Lydel sailors who shipwreck there simply disappear - but are rumored to keep on living, taking Elvish wives.

Region#24 = Poitle

Sentient Races: Human peasants, outlaws, fishermen, mermaids
Creatures: Fish, seagulls, dolphins, sharks
Terrain: Freshwater lake

Settlement Details
Earth Equivalent: Waterworld
Housing: Walled cluster of shacks on pontoons, anchored
Foreign Relations: Friendly to subversives, hostile to authorities
Science Level: Low
Magic Level: Low

Description: The leather-clad outlaw citizens of Poitle would normally be found in the urban slums of cities, but here atop the lake they eke out a meager existence based upon fishing, timber imports, drugs, and robbery. While there is a code among the outlaws to not steal from each other, murder is more common and recognized as a legal way to assume control of assets. Any uniformed officers who wander here are likely to be hung above the gate that enters the walled city, a warning to all who would dare assert control over the aquatic slums of Poitle.
