[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 1517327, member: 2012"] [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Hyberiae Peninsula[/B][/COLOR] The Hyberiae Peninsula is a hotbed of conflict. The Ruins of Astinian is where the region's original capital was, but it fell into decadence and was destroyed by a curse from the Gods of Chaos. Due of the curse, the lands of the Hyberiae Peninsula were laid to waste causing the badlands and swamp to form. The swamp is haunted and only the brave or foolish enter it. The Ruins of Astinian are controlled by powerful undead that regularly send their minions against each other and the cities of the peninsula. The lands around the City of Parch are drier than one would expect with a river flowing through them. This is part of the curse, as well. However, the waters of the river are clear and pristine until it reaches the swamplands. (The river runs through a gorge from when it enters the badlands to when it empties out into the swampland.) Parch is ruled by a council of peers, called the Parched Council, who aren't much better than the warlocks (see below). They control every aspect of the city including who gets access to the river. The City of Ubaay is the main city in this region and its ruler, a [I][U]beholder[/U][/I] only known as [B]The Orb[/B], considers the entire Hyberiae Peninsula as its dominion.
