You are in the land of Alberon,
And from the explored limits of endless north-eastern forest to the high impassable mountains range of the north, right down the west coast across and including the south westerly islands, the land has know peace, even as you move inland over the vast green plains, over to the far south east into the depths of the barren dessert right to the edge of heavens fall, for generations now the 5 great kingdoms have lived in harmony and flourished and expanded in the times of prosperity. The holy warriors of Galas can be found patrolling anywhere there may be evil protecting the land and enforcing law in their saviors memory and kings honor.
Because of the horrors of the past, arcane magic is frowned upon if not banned in certain establishments. Clerics and paladins of lawful good alignment are favoured by the churches, backed by the governments and can be found all over the land.
In a time almost forgotten when the kingdoms were at war, the gods saw it just to punish the unruly and evil by spewing forth a magic darkness and disease from the depths of the dwarven mountains, the dwarves who kept to their own affairs and locked themselves in the mountains were the first to be punished, for their greed and failure to act was seen as a sin. From the desert a goblinoid army had taken over the plains and the elven forest became under attack from all angles. Unsuspectingly the dark disease from the north tainted the forest to a place so dark and vile, orc goblinoid and elf alike were forced to flee. All aiming for Valkreath the kingdom was brought to near repairable ruin.
Completing his quest of passage Virk Galas the prince of Sea Crest returned from his journey with his crew, sailors now armed like soldiers, he claims he was gifted from the gods. They freed ValKreath from its destruction and pushed the non humans back to the desert. Using his divine might and with the last of those believing in justice rallying behind him they charged upon the evil that had taken over the dwarven mountains.
Once victorious the forest began to grow anew for evil had been uprooted from the land.
Before Virk Galas's death he had a daughter to an elf who's mother died during birth, Sonia the half elf born of royal human and elf blood eventually became the high priestess of Ehleruhn. Soon after her mothers death the king took anew wife birthing him a heir and a daughter. Carlos was destined to rule the land and with his father saw Fort Horizon erected in front of the dwarven mountain, A mighty majestic castle encroached into the mountain overlooking the lands promising defense from evil to all who pleaded fealty and in the after math of the disaster, with a debt of life owed, they all did. Tributes flowed as Fort Horizon grew into the Capitol of the land, and Carlos the future king.
Vivien, Carlos's sister was married into the royal Orstach family, rulers of Valkreath, to the prince Alvhast.
Valkreath being directly south had already grown into a prominent market place.
Dahlan Galas, Virk's younger brother eventually took rule of Sea crest and handed it to his son Vhalan Galas upon his death.
Little is known of who, if anyone rules at fort Kraasia.
Fort Kraasia
Sits on the lands edge known as heavens fall, its deep in the dessert long after the soft sand has given way to a hard rocky floor where the ground suddenly gives way to a sheer cliff edge. Its a deadly drop almost further then can be told and is seeming stretches on forever in all directions and none have ever walked around and returned to talk of it, or gone to the floor and managed to come back up. Right in the so told center of this sits Fort Krassia. Seldom visited by travelers or traders, locked away by the monsters of the sands, the occupants of Kraasia known as Kraisians are believed to have looked over heavens fall and into the abyss for too long and become as savage as the beasts the are surrounded by.
you know nothing of this kingdom yet
you know nothing of this kingdom yet
Cutters hollow falls under the jurisdiction of SeaCrest as do the hamlets on the nearby islands.
Seacrest primarily a fishing town, built on strong stilts over the sea it also brings in exotic fruits. The lazy, self sustaining lifestyle of the sea dwellers and the constant pull from the ocean see them less under the thrall of the Galas's firm law even tho run by a Galas prodigy itself. Sharing a blood linage, fort horizon has less sway when finding reason to impose the Guards of Galas into his territory.
