Here we will be posting setting information as it comes up. We encourage improv, so if you want to be from or talk about a place we haven't named, go for it.
Continent of Kavidon: The southwestern continent of the world. Bordered by the Triton Sea on the south, the Terminus Sea on the east. Contains, but is not limited to, the following:
Nation of Alemakia: The nation that borders the Rimewood. Smith is from here, as well as many other NPCs. A parliamentary democracy, and the worlds youngest nation so far, at only about 4000. Most citizens are human, though the nation is generally more diverse than others. There are no citizens older than the nation itself, though very few members of races capable of such longevity would even deign to acknowledge the nations existence, let alone live there. Its capitol is Zantum, and the city of Estro, nestled between the Umbretals and the sea, is the "gateway to the Rimewood."
The Rimewood: A huge, ever-frozen forest, south of Alemakia. Until recently, the nearby nation of Alemakia forbade anyone from entering, citing public safety. The newest regime has lifted the restriction, and Smith has spent his considerable life savings to be the first to build a settlement there. No nation claims the land, though goblins and other 'savage' races have been encountered by Alemakia.
Nation of Wuaden: A nation bordering Alemekia to the east and north. The Umbretal Mountains stand between it and the Rimewood. Home to the Great Library, the worlds largest known repository of knowledge.
The Shifting Dunes of Darua: A huge desert in southwestern Wuaden, known for terrible sandstorms. To travel from Wuaden to Alemekia, you either pass through this desert, or take the sea all the way around the north side of the continent. A coven of witches makes their living guiding travelers through the wastes.
The Triton Sea: The worlds southernmost sea, known for being dangerous to navigate due to ice, and containing the Triton nations.
Smith's Gambit: A sovereign territory governed by Erret Smith, on the far south of the Rimewood. Currently consists of a town hall, 4 guard towers and a wooden palisade, though the inn will be finished in a few days, and there are plenty of workers to build new structures as needed. Nearby is Tempest Bay, which would be a good place to harbor ships if they could get past all the ice.
Fierce Heart's Tribe: A tribal village allied with Smith. Home to Hexia's Shop. Every morning, for one minute, there is a portal between the the shop and Smith's Gambit, allowing quick travel.
Three Claw Point: Formerly a Redfoot village, now home to the White Wargs, a tribe of snow-white goblins who don't fear cold. Forming an alliance of all the enemies of the Redfoot, including Smith's Gambit.
Torakkum: A Triton kingdom under the Triton Sea, not far from Smith's Gambit. They have recently opened diplomatic relations with Smith, but have had little direct contact with other land nations.
Continent of Farrad: A large continent across the Terminus Sea from Kavidon. Contains, but is not limited to, the following:
Nation of Varna: A large country that makes up most of western Farrad.
Timberloft: A small, xenophobic town in midwest Varna.
Porter's Respite: A coastal trading town on the southwest coast of Varna.
The Underdark:
Huge, largely unmapped cavern systems, home to many dangerous creatures and people. Divided into continent sized sections which don't connect with each other. There are known entrances on all continents, though no one knows where the ones in the Rimewood are. In the northern lands, dwarves guard the entrances and send the Explorer's Guild on mapping expeditions. In Kavidon, the Shifting Dunes of Darua provide a natural defense against creatures unaccustomed to sunlight, though the desert coven has been known to take pity on those that show no ill intent. An entrance near Timberloft has been a point of conflict for generations. Rumor has it, one could cross between continents via parts of the Underdark, but no one has done so and lived to tell the tale.
