======Geography====== * Great roads leave the city travelling to the North, South, East and West. * For half an hour or so, the territory is mostly farmland and villages with a few outlying estates - * Then, the Forest of Loss encroaches, blocking travel in all directions. * It is said that to the North, there is a huge sea. A sea is like a river, but big and wide and the water is brackish and unsuitable for drinking. * It is said to the South, there was a city which was second only to Rastaban. * To the East, it is said, there is a huge and majestic mountain. A mountain is a like a very large, very rocky hill. * In the Golden Age, it is understood that the West was a place of great abundance, producing many fine fruits, plants, and spices, the names of which have been lost to history. {{ :resources:adventure:worldmap_2.jpg?nolink |}} =====The Outside World===== As of [[resources:adventure:viam_inveniam_aut_faciam| Viam Inveniam Aut Faciam]] some more is known about the outside world. ====Fools Landing==== * The region around the river Eriden (known as the blightwater outside Rastaban) is blighted and inhospitable due to the effects of the corrupted river running through it. * This has led the region to not be claimed by any great power and instead a motley town called Fools Landing has cropped up home to those who cannot find a place elsewhere. * As of the events of [[resources:adventure:casus_belli|Casus Belli]] fools landing is now a smoking ruin occupied by the Empire of Rastaban. ====The Empire of Rastaban==== * A large militaristic nation to the south, they are actively expanding northward - into the region of fools landing. * They do not worship any Muses, but do follow three paths: those of the mind, body, and spirit. These seem to correspond roughly to the Throne, the Rod and the Torch respectively. * They link their nations with wayroads which speed travel. ====The Unbroken Chain==== * A nation ruled by several dynasties of plane binders. ====The Philosophy of Seluga==== * A large nation of the other side of the Forest. * Not much is known of them other than that they are ruled by a council of philosophers. ====Eustragath==== * A mountainous region to the east. ====Gyre==== * An island nation to the north.
