The main island of the Last Lands, formerly a fey kingdom.
Score: 202 | 6/27/21 |
The main isle of the Last Lands is mostly temperate with rolling hills in the West, steep mountains on the northern shore, and dryer, warmer plains along the southern shore. Ys and Shosnar are both surrounded by bogs most of the year, but in the summer these dramatically shrink as the rivers run dry. These areas then flood with autumn rains, restoring their moisture. Several smaller islands circle the main island of the Last Lands. The city-states of the Last Lands are all on the main island. These include Aldea, Burghausen, Irium, Shosnar, Valora, and Ys. The village of Skytop is not large of enough to be called a city, but has a constant flow of travellers, mainly from Burghausen.
Before the Cataclyms what is now the Last Lands was mostly a fairy kingdom ruled by the Sidhe, Albion. Parts of it were occupied by Annwn, the kingdom of Arawn, and a sliver of what is now left was part of the kingdom of Camelot, which was populated by a mix of Humans and Feys. The quakes and tsunamis failed to sink this land, but the waves of refugees from other nations has destroyed it in a different way. Only Aldea, the capital city of Albion, is still in Sidhe hands. Although mighty and possessed of ancient magic, the sidhe and other feys of Albion were too few in numbers to stop the waves of immigrants that founded the city-states of the Last Lands. So now they sit in their city of illusions waiting for the next Cataclyms and plotting to rid their land of invaders.
