The Setting

(This is all still under development)

The Southern Lands

The southlands are a warm region in the south center of the "world" map. They are fertile, though not particularly rainy, and form a link between the Dragon Sea and the eastern kingdoms. The area is mostly agricultural, with some mining in the mountains. There are three or four large kingdoms which share the central plain, with major cities along the rivers. Moving southward toward the mountains the population thins; little is known of what lies beyond the mountains, though a few hardy traders venture southwards into the exotic desert kingdoms.

Northwest are the goblin lands, a vast plateau honeycombed with caverns and tunnels. The surface is fairly dry, partly because the high mountains block rain, and partly because the porous landscape quickly absorbs any moisture. In the center is a salty sea. Though the region is called the goblin lands, all manner of dark things live there, and launch raids into the civilized lands.

The southlands are bordered on the west by the Dragon Sea. South of the dragon sea is a vast, little-known desert, while north are mercantile city-states. In the sea itself are isles which harbor pirates, robber barons, and isolated villages. The lands north and east of the sea are heavily settled and quite civilized, with many large cities and intense trade.

Eastwards are wide grassy plains, settled here and there, and a great river which carries trade to the distant empires far to the east. The people there are different and speak a strange language.

Misty Spire

This is an Ars Magica style convenant, owned by an order of wizards. It is located on an isolated and lofty peak in the center of the regional map.
