Settings + Reference Maps

If you want to get to know the landscape of the island and the varying qualities of all the regions, you're in the right place.


As a rough guide, it takes 5 days to walk from Quinsilla to Racksom, assuming 8 hours of rest and about 10 hours of walking. With a horse, it is assumed to take about 3 days. More difficult or treacherous terrains will evidently take longer to cross.

Dragon travelling times vary much more. Some dragons can traverse long distances very quickly, or very slowly; speed and endurance stats impact this. These can be found in the Dragon Index.

*NOTE* The territorial area of Maledictus Eice and their settlements may not match up; this is due to ownership of a place being defined by rulership. Bolarvian people are self governing, but unfortunately fall into the roaming-zone of Maledictus Eice.

Kaionar City State is also a special case as it is undergoing vassalage to the Surahnian Rebels.

Guardians' Haven	Medium	7	1	1	9	Home of the Guardians and the famous Elites Headquarters, it is something of a pilgrimage destination
Harglen	Quite Large	7	6	5	5	Unlike its neighbours, Harglen is quite well known for its doubtful loyalty, perhaps for its middling location

Shayenne	Quite Large	7	4	4	9	Picturesque as it is, Shayenne is atop the cliffs by Didienne; it's quite common for Didienne Nobles to own land here
Tarz	Quite Large	4	4	3	7	Following with their "southern virtue", the people of Tarz are reverant of their position as guardians of the water stone
Volfiris	Medium	3	1	3	6	A quiet and peaceful place, there is little future in volfiris, many of its youth journey north to seek training and experience
Yarrowitz	Very Large	9	7	4	8	The city of artisans is elegant and musical, though not without troubles. Yarrowitz is frequently cowed by Kaionar "Merchants"

Corstel (Goblins, Blue)	Medium	6	0	0	9	The most secretive of the goblin clans, not much is known about the blue goblin sanctuary other than that it is hidden high up in the mountains of the ice plains. Travelers lost in the snow tell tales of being rescued by tall, extravagantly-dressed beings surrounded with fine treasures, but it has never been found
Great Tree (Goblins, Black)	Large	2	5	3	5	This gargantuan tree is the centerpiece of the black goblin clan, a massive living plant which has been hollowed out through magic and serves as a communal home, surrounded by canopies of treehouses. Extremely violent towards outsiders
Nabiscan (Goblins, Green)	Medium	3	2	1	5	The hometown of the green goblins, Nabiscan is not a town so much as it is a central hub. Wary of outsiders, they only begrudgingly allow trade with outsiders, often for food
Sand City (Goblins, Red)	Huge	6	9	2	7	A giant city full of unoccupied architecture, this is where red goblins practice building and make powerful talismans. They are open to outsiders, but it is not uncommon for them to double deal and lie with them. Enter with caution
Elven Combat Academy	Tiny	8	1	1	5	Located just to the south of the mountains which dominate the island, this academy is known only to the elves who inhabit the Isle Triad and trains its students as warriors, teaching many skills

Name	Size	Wealth	Corruption	Crime	Aura	No Affiliation Locations (Descriptions)
Amellian Tribe	Tiny	3	1	5	5	Moving about through the confines of the Amellian forest, these people are suspicious of new folk and hostile to dragons; beware their dragon sacrifices!
Bolarf	Very Small	1	0	4	3	Victims of location, these poor traders of rare corals are often exploited by Kaionar folk, bandits or raided by small ME groups
Caspan	Small	3	5	5	6	Few people visit Caspan nowadays; it lies between the four major factions and nobody wishes to be be there when "the time comes"
Golam	Small	5	4	6	6	Has the paradoxical image of being both a "bit rough" as well as friendly and relaxed
Ironshas	Quite Large	2	8	8	2	The one openly Tribal Battleblood worshiping place in Dragons' Cove. Violence is to be expected and the rule of law is 'particular' at best.
Turich	Tiny	2	2	3	8	Both isolated and insular, Turich has its own unique culture and shares relations with the Ardan people of the Ice Plains
Xanile	Large	2	7	9	2	A massing of several settlements into one, Xanile is referred to as 'Kaionar; without the benefits' A glorified shanty town
