The Lost Lands

Ranging from arid wastes where nothing lives or stands to severe tundras filled with grazing ungulates to beautiful valleys filled with hoodoos and arches, vibrant with life. These badlands are almost always a little tight, a little scarce, but there are the occasional oasis, trading towns of great wealth, dealing in salt and rare minerals. It is one of the largest and most diverse regions, but it’s all touched by stark beauty. It is the close bond between the Twin Revelers and the Sage Hermit that make this land the contradiction it is.

Arbaradad, the Ringed City
The greatest mortal city. All the wealth of the world flows through the gates of Arbaradad. But while they accept merchants from every corner of the world and from beyond it, they are a carefully segregated city. With each caste carefully maintaining its own 'Ring'. Arbaradad is a must-visit for those with the privilege and ability to see the delights of the world. It is known for its high-calibre of culture and hedonistic delights. Though it does have a reputation for the pervasiveness and power of its criminal underbelly.

Emlausz
The glory of what never was. Emlausz is a place where empires should have been born, but ill-luck and poor rule has dashed their dreams of splendor time and time again. Having a poor habit of aligning with powers on the cusp of failure, Emlausz's natural resources have been squandered by an increasingly incompetent series of dynasties.

Korradokrak
When Korrad completed his conquest of the upper Lost Lands, he realized that to truly solidify his people as a superpower they needed a city, and not just any city, but a city that was theirs and theirs alone. Korrad's construction was actually the downfall of his empire, as it tied up valuable resources and time that allowed his enemies to rally their forces and finally crush his conquest. Still, the city stands, mostly constructed, untouched by living hands.

Toddholme
The most beautiful, artistic, and culturally advanced city in perhaps the entire realm. Toddholme was ruled throughout its history by the Toddgeist family. The last Kaiser, Rache, knowing his city had always had a weak military tradition, took as his bride the sister of a local barbian warlord, Zauberine. Though securing their walls with mercenaries, barbarian warriors, and dedicated cityfolk. Toddholme proved no match for Korrad, who destroyed the entire city with powerful artifacts.
