[QUOTE="Old Fezziwig, post: 1295497, member: 59"] [b]The Northern Reach[/b] Here's some basic geographical information to get y'all situated. I'm going to try to get some specifics up about Tharokas in the next few days. Players from the Life's Bazaar game might notice some differences in the descriptions here and the descriptions there. [b]The Northern Reach[/b] is a peninsula roughly 170 miles wide at it's widest, 280 miles long from north to south, and controlled by the Elven Empire of Tharokan (TEAR o kann). The following geographical features are included on the [url=http://www.unc.edu/~nvm/n/reach1.jpg]map[/url]. [b]The Arandhine[/b] — Mountain range on the SE coast of the peninsula. Contains a number of active and dormant volcanoes as well as the town of Cauldron. [b]Arándhe[/b] — One of the twin cities of the southern half of the peninsula, along with Sufford. Mostly human. Officially part of Tharokan since the Second Peloran Crusade. [b]Araudine[/b] — Elven colony on the Floodrun Isles. Settled in the last twenty-five years. [b]The Broken Lands[/b] — Ancestral lands of the swamp dwarves, abandoned during the Fourth Pelorian Crusade. As far north as you can go before heading towards the Ice Seas. Very hilly and currently home to an obscene amount of undead and other fell creatures. [b]Caerrhen[/b] — Northernmost village on the peninsula. Only remaining outpost of civilization in the Broken Lands. [b]The Caerrhenians[/b] — Mountain range on the NW coast of the Northern Reaches.

Home to the hobgoblins. Allied with the Empire. [b]Floodrun[/b] — Key elven port on the western coast. Controls all legal shipping routes to Araudine.

[b]Floodrun Isles[/b] — Island cluster off the NW coast of the Reach. Swampy and hilly. Elven colony of Araudine settled there fifty years ago. Largely unexplored still, but rich in natural resources and dotted with ruins of indeterminate origin.
