The Known World-Terrain description

[Description/Map]

This section describes, and eventually show the terrain of the part of Ishtmal that will be the main focus. There are many islands in the known world, but as we begin only one of the large islands will be avaliable. The more people we have to spread out the more I'll make land avaliable for RPing use.

[Description/Map]

The Known world of Valterra consists of three major islands, and many minor ones. The many small islands surround the three major islands, and spread out further East and West than they do North and South. The three major islands are Isis, Talm, and Verge. They form somewhat of an odd triangle in the middle of a vast ocean. This area is called Nuva-Ocea

Isis is the Northeast Island and it’s the coldest of the islands. Its northern tip is inhabited only by Tralk, (See the Bestiary) and it’s nothing but tundra and Mountain. The Eragi Mountains start at the northwest tip and run along the north, east, and south shores of Isis. The mountains form a crescent shape while the Island itself is more of a “D” shape. Though the northern section is tundra, the southern section overflows with snowy woodland and foothills. Humans mostly Inahbit Isis, but there are some Drakon villages in the mountains, the abandoned Druid City of Gala in the south west forest which is rumored to still have Druids residing there, and a clan of Lesmir residing in the caves toward the southern tip of the Eragi Mountains

Talm is the Southeast Island which is more of an oval shape. It has two mountain ranges, the Regnair Mountains, which start at the Northwest section of the island, runs south, then cuts through the middle of the island and stops before half-way through the island. The Duhma Mountians start at the Southwest tip of the island, run east then slightly curve northward and end some distance before the northeastern shore. Talm has two defined regions, the wooded region, and the desert region. The Druids reside in much of the Forestland and have been residing here ever since the humans had pushed them out of their old encampment on Isis. They have grown much since then, creating larger Druidic Cities and developing systems and networks that connect them, without disrupting the natural balance. There is also a group of Lesmir that live in the Eastern forests. The Desert region contains few life forms except for another group of Lesmir, the Minnemir. Separate Drakon clans reside in each of the two mountain ranges.

Verge is the Midwest Island, and its further away somewhat. The current around Verge is somewhat stronger than the currents around Isis and Talm, thus making it only reachable by a large ship. Verge is only really pursued by adventurous folk whom are reckless and daring. Verge contains ancient ruins that are overrun with large rodent-like creatures called Taimar. The shape of the island is rather oblong and complex. It starts out thin and widens in the southwest direction. As it gets wider it slopes southward, almost like a more curved and longer teardrop shape.

The many islands around the larger three contain fishing ports, small villages, and some pirate clans. There have been a few ruins found as well, and many Islands are still unexplored. There have also been some expeditions to find out new lands, but none have proven successful or anywhere close to going around the entire world. Many ship’s more foolish captains have even gone so far as that they have never been seen to this day. Who knows if they found what they were looking for, or succumb to the terrors of Sea Madness from lack of food and supplies.
