Landscapes and Provinces
Swamp/marsh- Nebuka
The vast, perilous and barbaric swamplands that lie between Siilithor and Valcan are home to large, strong and dark-skinned men. They are the Nebukans, and though the own few cities their armies are made of thousands of warriors whose strength and stamina are unrivaled throughout the lands. Among the great many swamps and towering stone ruins of an age forgotten also walk uncounted mighty beasts, creatures that have long hardened the Nebukans. At Nebuka's centre there is a mighty stone ruin of many ancient temples and walls. This city, known as Los-Torra, serves as the capital of their kingdom and the seat of power for all the Nebukan clans and tribes.
European (hilly plains and scattered forests)- Azurleon
Azurleon is country of plains and hills. It's great quarries of stone have given to the rise and fall of countless kingdoms of great castles and towering cities. The people of this country of brave and just, favoring honor and prowess and respecting power. Like themselves, their symbols reflect great strength and wealth. And while the colour of their banners may vary between their four kingdoms, they all proudly bear the golden lion. Their sovereign Kings, however, bear upon their banners, soldiers and servants the golden crown, the ancient insignia of the High Kings.
Mountains- Ommersia
Ommersia is a great land of strong, high mountains riddled with vast valleys. These black mountains are home to the four Dwarven kingdoms that make a living from the many minerals and ores that run through the Ommersian mountains like rivers. Their fortress cities carved from the rock itself are far greater than the capitals of the kingdoms of Men.
Tundra/mountains- Northgard
Thousands of years ago, when the races of Men were young and their heroes reigned, the two first kingdoms of men were formed; Nenmar in the mountainous North and in the rolling plains was founded Arrivonia. These two kingdoms saw the rise, conquest and fall of the Dragons, and later the Dragon Riders. Thus the Nennish, out of reverence and worship of then made their symbols Nen's green dragon in honor of the the riders; the Arrivonian white horse, after their rolling plains and love of their steeds; and shared the rising sun that gives hope to men. To this day the Nennish fear, worship and respect Dragons and those who have power over them. Today, both kingdoms are united under the High King Atathros.
Desert/Wasteland- Valcan
Valcan, it's very name meaning "dark desolation", is the vast barren landscape in Eastern Accoria that borders Dracovia. It is home to some of the most diverse cultures in the world. From the friendly and sometimes fierce desert traders and raiders, the Zabatharcans, to the primitive Orc clans who live like animal packs. The lands history includes the great lifeblood of all kingdoms; trade. But as one of the weaker provinces Valcan has been conquered and raided time and time again and has been reduced to a minor power. Only Zabatharc, ruling and harvesting the oil-rich Southern Desert, can claim to be a kingdom. But it is not alone, for the thousands of Valcanians are preparing for war..
Tropical Forests- Siilithror
The tropical and hazardous forests in the far south are home to many dangerous and exotic creatures and cultures. Chief of which, are the many clans of strange humanoid animals. From the Serpentine Clans, Crocodilian Tribes and other humanoids with animalistic appearances. These many, primitive cultures have had very little contact with the civilized world and even though their closest neighbors are the Elves, they refuse the modern way of life, keeping to their traditional lifestyles.
Woodlands- Parradelph
For many thousands of years the Elves have hidden in their forests, a mysterious life unknown to men. It is in the great Southern forest of Parradelph that the last of the great Elven kingdoms rules. From the High Elven white spires of Elmarlenos, to the golden wood halls of the Wood Elves, the Kingdom of Parradelphon rules through the bows of the Siltar, and the blades of the Allatar. Now the outbreak of war throws the sleeping power of the Elves back into the world of men.
Ash/volcanic lands- Dracovia
Dracovia, a dark and volcanic land shrouded in mystery and sorcery, lies to the far East of the Accorian map. It is a lands of many races, lodged deep in the mountains, making it difficult for the Empire and its allies to confront them in battle. Large amounts of ore found in the mountainside makes it easy for the Dracovians to gather materials for weapons and bartering. The lack of greenery and frigid temperature makes it hard for crops to grow, but raising livestock isn't as much of a problem and are usually traded for crops that pass through. Dracovia is believed to have the largest population of Fire Dragons than any other country, hence it's name and long history of Dragon-riding conquerors.
Island Paradise- Imperios
Just West of the Accorian coast line, there is a great island. This island flowers with unnumbered wondrous flowers, plants and things that long ago perished in Accoria. This island boasts Nasitadel, the capital of the Empire and all Accoria. This wondrous place guarded by many domed towers, walls and frotresses defies invasion. This is the Island of Imperios, it's name meaning "sovereign" in the Old Tongue, for through the ages it has always been capital to the more lands
