Regions of Shareale
Alaython
is a nation built around a single great city, Alaython. The city is famed for
its scholars and its great library, known as the "Library of All"
Acsynae
is a small nation carved out of what was once part of south eastern Maladon.
The people who
did the "carving" were originally renegades from the Morchainti empire and they
still retain much of their original culture. Their strong army and the weakness
of Maladon has kept the nation independent.
Gorgrin Tuvess
has emerged in recent decades as a rival to the declining might of the
Morchainti empire. Its people practice equality of the sexes and inheritance is
bilateral.
Kalvarche Tribes
Scholars generally consider the non-human Kalvarche Tribes as part of the
Kalvarche region and more details will be found there.
Krizak Nomads
are a somewhat technologically backward group of nomads who wander around the
Greening with their chariots and light cavalry. They are not a united people.
It is the hope of their neighbours, especially the Morchainti Empire that they
never rally around a single leader. Recent portents in the form of a red
twin-tailed shooting star have led to calls for a meeting of the tribes to
discuss this very thing.
Maladon
is a realm undergoing reorganisation. Like Telorthen Ty Taros Maladon was a
collection of semi-autonomous city-states. Now however the country has been
forcibly united under a theocratic government headed by clerics of the dark god
Sharkan.
The Morchainti Empire
is a decaying massive empire on the eastern side of the region. It is beset
with internal dissent, threats to its southern border by the rival empire of
Gorgrin Tuvess and subject to increasing raids on the north east by groups of
Krizak nomads sensing easy loot.
Nuril Ka
is a poor country dominated by fiercely independent clans. They are renowned
mariners and trade throughout the Shareale coastal region. When not trading
they often also raid throughout the Shareale coastal regions.
Pathen
is an old feudal kingdom based around a largely herding economy due to poor
soils. It is a decadent realm and like the Morchainti empire and Alaython is
occassionly plagued with problems from Krizak nomads.
Telorthen Ty Taros,
also called Torthe, is the "core" setting of my campaign.
Details of Telorthen Ty Taros will be found by following the link to the left.
Here I will say that Telorthen Ty Taros is a collection of somewhat
conservative semi-autonomous city-states organised under the "kingship" of the
ruler of the most powerful city, Erak Kelan ruler of Taros Torthen.
Turan
is a backward nation reliant on its fishing fleets to feed its people who are
divided into numerous clans. The nation also has a matrilineal inheritance
pattern.
Veslin
Scholars generally consider Veslin as part of the Kalvarche region and more
details will be found there.
