Exploring New Lands: Staude

KC J. Hutchins

The land is a vast forest with trunks much larger than a person. Two types of tree grow here; glowing black bark Weeping Willows with purple shining leaves and vines that shower down to the ground and radiant white barked Ash trees whose leaves outshine their counterparts. At one time, these grew on two separate sides of each other. When Elfriede and Gundisalv joined together their people with the help of Pelzgrauen, the forest became intermingled with a large center hybrid tree known as Verbin. Here the new king and queen built the royal palace. As for other landmarks, there are none left. The constant civil wars of the elves have destroyed any places sacred to both sides.

Exploring New Lands: Petram

KC J. Hutchins

The land of stone is the place where three different races call their home. To the Western mountain range along the border of Epoca deep underground is the kingdom of Skapejuvel; where the dwarves mine day and night through the stone. In the Eastern mountain range that borders Staude are the homes of General Stonewall and his men. This side of the land has not fully been explored due to the fear of the golems attacking any traveler. Far in the North lies within another mountain ranger is Mount Storia, the home of the Racconto. Here one can see the winding road that travels to the top of the mountain where one can see the roof of the Pietrateca, the great library of the Racconto. Heading South across from the Plain of Nocciolo is a great forest. Found within is a clear lake with such sweet water. Through the forest over the gray rocky ground leads to the craggy coast to the ocean, known as the Moana. Many travelers enter the land from here due to the mountains that surround Petram.
