The Physical World ~ Preview

Ethristah is a large continent that has very distinct features about it. In the NorthWest you have the tropical, and very beautiful Trelieflan, while in the middle is Kadminn which is mostly plains, and flatlands, but has some mountainous areas in the SouthWest and NorthEast, and damp marshes to the far East. Lastly is the desert area known as Thead located in the SouthEast peninsula.

-Key Locations
--Treelieflan
Beautiful, tropical rain forest. very limited access, only those the King allows may enter, all others are kept out by the numerous Legnas guards patrolling the outer gates. The palace itself is guarded by Chimeal, the strongest of the Legnas.

--Thead
Even though it is on the SouthEast coast of Ethristah, high rising plateaus prevent much of the ocean's water from getting to the desert, keeping it barren of almost all plant life. The only thing preventing entrance into the capital is a hugely intricate labyrinth beneath the desert's surface. The city is guarded by the Nomed army.

--Kadminn
Although it is treated as one land, Kadminn actually consists of several smaller sections of land each with its own capital city. The geography of the land is as varying as the people make up its population.

---Maad
The official capital of Kadminn, is one of the most defensible cities in all of Kadminn with it sitting on high cliffs on an island surrounded by dangerous waters. Most guilds have their headquarters here, as well as some of the most prestigious fighters and guards. Maad also houses, in its center the second most prestigious Combat Arena, second only to the Grand Arena itself.

---Vee
Sister city to Maad, only a few miles away. Although not as defensible as Maad, but it is equally important in all ways. Being the only inland city containing a port makes it a very important stop for any merchant or craftsmen. The unique circular shape of the port can hold 8 of the largest ships, and countless others. Which is all protected by a very strategically minded wharf master, and his crew.

---Casai
One of the two cities in Kadminn who do not accept Maad's rule over the land, with Nica being the second. Although they do not have the number that Maad has, Casai has the most disciplined soldiers in Kadminn. Shingen Takeda, ruler of Casai, was once on the council in Maad until the land was unified under one King. Casai is hidden away in the mountains in the NorthEast.

---Nica
Also hidden in the mountains in the NorthEast, Nica was the second city to withdraw from Maad's council, later allying themselves with Casai, increasing their power.

---Raym
Not much is known about the city of Raym, accept those who travel there rarely ever return, perhaps due to death, or perhaps due to a very comfortable life. Sometimes strange sounds can be heard across the see between them and the rest of Kadminn.
