Maps & Geography

At the heart of Maras, the region known as Kelek Thalgar. Featuring in the campaign series "The Shattered Blade", the country Kelek Thalgar is a plateau based city state thrust into the role of defenders against the hordes of The Lich King. While below them, beneath ever present clouds, the pocket of Shadow Vale thrives blissfully unaware of the strife all around them.

The Sisk Empire: Initially a peaceful people occupying the 3 peninsulas to the east and the more western arm touching the mainland, the Sisk were invaded by the enigmatically named "River People" some 700 years ago.

Without a standing army and divided politically, the Sisk people were effortlessly defeated and pushed out of their ancestral home of Viscus Prasidium and across the ancient canal of Semita de Charon.

Half a dozen merchant houses rule the small trade hub of Gullwash. When viewed from the perspective of countrywide trade routes between towns and cities Gullwash hardly compares, but within the microcosm of Shadow Vale the village almost reigns supreme.

Goods from all the human settlements funnel their way through either Shady Downs or Gullwash, allowing both settlements to enjoy wealth per capita none can rival. Steering this entire endeavor are the 6 principle trading houses of Budreg, Edlis, Aylass, Ikleylih, Ehrivo and Imhala. Between them they form The Jarl, the governing body of Gullwash. 

Settled around the same time as Rune, Misty Bog was then as it is now, principally a copper mining settlement. While the nearby hills and mines do not provide an unending supply of this valuable commodity, the rewards are enough to give this a stable economy and plenty of trading muscle.

Topec is located in the northeastern region of Oljanus. It is primarily covered by hot desert sands, with the great Irkhurst Forest to the north separating the main land from the the coast; The Lorimai Plains and Red Mountains to the west separate it from Maras.
