Lkondra

Posted by admin on April 17, 2009

Exists below Kentol, much of this land is barren and void of vegetation. Open fields devoid of any cover, surrounded by dying forests. When Kentol went on the warpath, their campaign was so successful they over extended their attack and continued too far south, wiping out the north half of Lkondra. Not only was the land destroyed and poisoned but so was the very spirit of the earth here. The ground here has been tortured and creates great evils, the forests are full of dark spirits, the rivers sometimes reach to pull creatures in from the banks.

Vathmal forest-

Along the northwestern border and coast spans the haunted Vathmal forest. The trees of this area have darkened and appear twisted and mangled. The canopy is thick and provides little to no sunlight at times. Mists cover the small ponds which also exude a horrible stench of stale water. Stories tell of travellers who’ve made it through, talking about movement under the ground as if it were squirming or had a heartbeat. Many monstrous beasts, abberations, and fiendish creatures use this forest as a home. Corpses crawl up from the mud when others come to near. There is rumor that there once existed a druid’s grove in Vathmal, almost as old as the forest itself. Thris grove may have caches of magic from the long dead druids, but who knows what else it might contain.

Butterwyne Barrens-

The central to eastern areas of Lkondra are home to many grazing animals on the expansive pastures. Lkondra is known for it’s herds and livestock, which are some of the best meat producers in Mystere. Lkondr’s soil is normally too hard for farming, but the herds have no trouble feeding on the tough grass that covers the landscape here. Owners of herds and livestock along with the few farmers there are, work and plan together their trade to ensure the crops are left alone and the herds due not overfead on the wide pastures. Every 6 months, at the beginning of the spring and fall seasons, farmers and ranchers to discuss trade prices, and ways to increase crop yields. The days these occur on are well known for fairs/festivals in the buterwyne area.

Springhaven- Capital, large city (15,000)

Controlled by an elected official, elections held every 5 years unless the mayor dies. Officials are elected by district appointed leaders. The city is sectioned into several areas, for trade, rich, schools, etc.

Ironsnow

Posted by admin on March 27, 2009

This land is known for it’s mostly year round winter. This doesn’t stop the inhabitants from traveling about for their trade. Ironsnow mountains and the deep earth provide large resources of iron,  some mithral, rare adamantite veins, and even more rare glassteel. Most settlements in Ironsnow make their trade through mining or smithing, more commonly both.

There are few non monstroust humanoid tribes that live in the open tundras of Ironsnow, following the few animals that live here. Commonly these tribes sell many of the extra furs they get throughout the year and sell them for occasional weapons, or basic necessities made of metal. These tribes serve the good people of Ironsnow quite well due to their hatred for the orcs who roam from the mountains more and more frequently. The orcs commonly don’t respect the need to live off of the land and over hunt the already rare herds of animals and threatening the source of food for the local nomads. The larger cities pay fairly for the kills proven by the nomads further providing their tribes with trade needed to survive.

The areas underground settlements consist of dwarves or gnomes with an occasional mixture of other goodly races. Wild bands of orcs roam from the mountains. Due to the consistent cold weather organized war hasn’t ever been able to hold back the growing orc population. This has helped bring the wild nomad tribes and the city populations closer together than ever before. Over the past few decades the orcs have been growing stronger and making more and more trouble for the residents in Ironsnow.

Northtree Village – In the past decade, a group of evlish refugees from Aldaya travelled all the way to Ironsnow to make a new home. A vision seen by the eldest amoung them showed the elvish band that one day they would prosper here but it would take time.  Since they’ve settled, the elves haven’t faired greatly but they have adapted well and are growing used to their new home.  Northtree Village is located in the center of the “Coldsteel Forest” which is a dense coniferous forest. The elves have brought several Darkwood saplings with them and with their aid have taken root and are adapting very well in the cold ground with the help of the elvish hands tending them.

The walking Forge – Ironsnow is well known for it’s trade in fine metals, but residents also speak of Iron golems walking the frozenlands. They collect materials and often harm those who they find in their way. Occasionally a few of the golems attack civilized areas and leave with many odd and valuable pieces. It is rumored/believed that these golems come from a hidden location high in the northern edges of Ironsnow. Many years ago there was a stronghold of evil dwarves (duergar) who toiled away attempting to build something truly amazing that it took all of their focus of their people, as one day all of their clan vanished. No contact has been made since. It is rumored the dwarves created a giant sentient golem which turned on them immediately after it was finished.
