Lore

Tolg is a vast land with few evergreen settlements, as the distances are dangerous and towns are demolished by the elements as quickly as they are erected, so the map only shows the major settlements as though they were city-states, though some smaller settlements do exist. Because of the many failed settlement attempts, Tolg is littered with ruins in various states of construction and deconstruction. The safest way to travel is through caravaning groups due to the dangers of the wilds. Across Tolg, the Sleeping Serpent Oovi- a great leviathan- is visible in the sky.

Cradle

First settlement of Tolg, a druidic society, worships Tall Papa who is the antagonist of Oovi; they are constantly at war with Il-Oovi.

Il-Oovi

Based on south american native societies, run by a priesthood, worship the Great Serpent Oovi- antagonist of Tall Papa, constantly at war with Cradle

Althum

Polytheistic society whose chief deity is The Make-Way-Man, most accepting of others with decent to good relations with all settlements, the only city-state with an active navy, led by democracy

Cim-Khetar

Mines, mountains, and hills, the most traditional medieval city with stone buildings and castles and a king, worship Ra-Khul-Cim and his seven horsemen, nobody has heard from the city in many months

Brekkon

City of beasts, worships the Earth Bones- basically any animal and thing that animal does well (i.e., worshipping the rabbit for its ability to jump), area is more ruinous than most as scholars say there was once a civilization there that went to ruin, and its ruins were sacked and plundered and eventually built over by the beastfolk and nobody outside of the area is sure how the city is run anymore

Biis

City of invention in a wide desert plain, once the largest city and foremost place to learn the ways of artificing and magicks, but more than two hundred years ago it lifted off the ground without warning under their king, Soth, and now it floats above the crater where the city once existed, the only way in is via invitation and those who accept never return and rarely contact those outside

Essilada

The most mysterious region by far, Elves of all varieties settled it while Cradle was in its infancy, tales from Althum say its a land covered in large crystals, and all expeditions into the unclaimed territory between Althum and Essilada have resulted in tragedy or total disappearance, there are many stories of how Essilada operates but the only one confirmed is that they worship Valasi the Indomitable Mother.
