~story: landmarks~

The Dragon Isle:
No one alive really realizes it but this is island was once a much larger land with a beautiful palace. Now the World Dragon is contained to it. It's a barren, craggy, land. It's surrounded by an acid sea and all the worlds winds originate from it. There's no life, plant or otherwise, except the hundreds of dragons that have been spawned there. They live in the ruined spires of the old palace, using them as access to all the treasure it once contained. Starving and full of rage. A spell keeps them on the island and all other life out. Urack is taken there by Norie to fight the world dragon. Doing so breaks the spell and the other dragons spread to the rest of the world. So.. he ends up with a lot of cleaning up to do.

The Five Dog Star Islands:
Tropical islands where a tribe of mercenaries live. Think "Caribbean Vikings." They're really big and violent for Unicorn Landers, it makes some people think that they probably originated from the Dragon Lands. Dyluck's friend, Devin: one of his most trusted aids and generals, is a prince there. His older brother does more mercenary work, Devin usually just travels around with his friend, the other of Dyluck's generals, Hawk.

The Maw:
An enchanted region of nymph filled pools. There are some nasty beasts here. No one lives near- especially the superstitious Dragon Landers. Most people wouldn't survive trying to cross this region: If they do, they usually disappear. It does connect to the area by of Upper Neiking, but by jagged tall cliffs that usually dead end with a drop hundreds of feet down to the churning ocean.

The Belly:
The fertile region of the world. It's rolling hills and farmland as far as the eye can see. It consists of several small kingdoms.

The Mane:
Deep sandstone canyons that would look like a lions mane if one could see them from above. You'll find all kinds of people in the mane, and right in the center is the main entrance, a giant port, to the Lion Lands. It's the center for trading everything. Between the Mane and Uluru is mostly open desert..

The Horn:
The glacier fields and glacier filled ocean. "The Horn" refers both to the tallest mountain and the area surrounding it. People do not go there and ships have a hard time even passing by.

The Crest:
A bay and cliffs at the top of the world. The world's fixed star hovers above it and is always reflected in the ocean water there. Dyluck builds his city, Zenith, there.

The Tail:
The war zone. There's too much area here, the Dragon Landers and the Lion Landers are always fighting over it. It's one of the worst places you could find yourself. It's dry, covered in sand and jagged mountains, and forts filled with angry people.

The Isles of Gaul:
A distinct group of people; the closest you'll find in personality is Twall, of Neiking. The islands are known for their entertainment and neutral attitude towards politics.

The Celestial Gulf:
The tropical waters of the Lion Lands capitol city. the Palace of Uluru over looks it. It's a great spot to swim and has a lot of magical ties.

The Isle of Mist aka Misty Isle:
I have a whole 'nother section on this island. Check out the links to the left.

White Castle:
Home of a "crusades-like" religious cult of Unicorn people in the Lion lands. It's a old, ruined, white castle. It's their base and they're there to try to exterminate evil blood- the Celestials. They're all named after birds and Hawk, Dyluck's friend and general, was a part of this. He was kicked out (He'll say he left) met Devin and became fast friends. He has great respect for Dylcuk... but he's still really freaked out by Korin.

More to come...
