NEW MAP: Around Stonn City
Okay, here's the next of my "extreme closeup" maps. This one shows the lands surrounding
Stonn City, which is the capital city of the
Kingdom of Stonn (naturally).
Stonn, the kingdom, has a very lawful society and most outsdiers say it is strict beyond reason. However, the citizens of Stonn also have more security than more countries and city-states.
Note: The Kingdom of Stonn is a very large kingdom and I've never been able to put it all on one map to my liking.
This map shows the heart and soul of the kingdom. This area is where most of the true power comes from. Other cities, towns, and fortresses beyond this area tend to be fairly autonomous. However, with the
Kingdom of Thallin in a state of civil war the kingdom's mysterious queen,
Emilia the Cane, has begun to strength the influence of
Stonn City over these distant communites.
However, not all the communities in this area pay homage to the
Queen of Stonn. The dwarven/human dominant
Town of Relukk bought its independance from the queen centuries ago in return for a seady supply of iron, silver and carbon from the
Mines of Relukk. Also, the elven communities of the
Saln Woods consider themselves independant and resist all attempts by the Queen to bring them into the kingdom. (She considers the woods to be "Stonn" territory.)
Two other places, on this map, need mention.
First, the
City of Aarlan. This city is one of the few cities of the
Eastern Shores without a wall. The city is regarded as one of the most beautiful human-dominated cities of the Eastern Shores. Only the capital city of the
Kingdom of Navirosov, known as
Magdalene, is said to be more inspiring. The
City of Aarlan is also notable for the secret society that is said to call the city home, the
Sisters of the Way. It is not the society's name that is secret, just its members and purpose.
Second, the structure known as
Bantam House. Bantam House is a inn of sorts for small folk. Halflings, kitts, buckawns, and fremlins are common visitors to Bantam House, as well as the occasional dwarven runt. The inn even has had a star gnome visit once, while his spelljammer was being fixed. Those tall folk that would like to visit here better have a
potion of reduce or they'll never get inside the front door. The building is sized for small folk and is built into the ground like a hairfoot dwelling.
Cheers!
