Thrae

For maps of Thrae, see Maps.
== Description ==
The world of Thrae is an unusual one, existing as a ring-shaped planet orbited by a sun and two moons. The alignment is perfectly set so that the rotation of the ring creates a day and night cycle for most of the world, yet the innermost areas are cast into eternal shadow and ice.
== Active Organizations ==
=== The Adventurers' Guild ===
=== The Ebon Accord ===
Based in Ebonridge and led by a half-infernal Baroness, the Ebon Accord seeks to expand its dominion over the western continent, and eventually the rest of Thrae as well. Their method of operation is primarily pacific, creating trading partnerships and fostering political ties before annexing border provinces.
It current occupies the south-west pockets of the western valley, but influences affairs as far north and east as Karnande, and far west as Spragot,

== Geography ==
=== The Western Continent ===
The heartland of Thrae, the Western Continent is relatively civilized and more heavily settled than the rest of the world. That being said, it's still plagued by bandits, roaming beasts, slavers, and the occasional northern monstrosity that's blundered its way south and gone mad from the sunlight. It can be divided into several regions.
==== The Granite Vale ====
At the western end of the western continent lies the Granite Vale, so named for the imposing mountain ranges that denote its limits, and the stony hills that are worked by the mining towns dotting the landscape. The region is bounded on the west by Fire Peaks and to the south and west by the Scarstone Mountains, extending in a north-east direction until it reaches Serpent Desert.
The Ebon Accord lies in the southwest of this region, and currently only exercises indirect influence over the rest of it.
=== The Eastern Sea ===
=== Caldessia, the Eastern Continent ===
While contiguous with the the Western Continent, and a part of it geologically, formidable mountain ranges make travel between these two locations difficult. As such, it has grown mostly disconnected from the relatively tame society of the greater continent, host to such locations as the Temple of Elemental Evil, the Citadel of the Wraith Tyrant, and desolate deserts, blasted wastes, and ruins of fallen cities.
=== The Sunless Ring ===
The interior of Thrae is dominated by eternal night, with but a few footholds of civilization clinging to existence in an otherwise hostile land. The most notable of these is the Love Stronghold, a colony of Earkswick. Though harsh and sunless, the world's magical field is strongest here. 
Some hardy, frost-resistant plants manage to exist in caves, drawing their strength not from the sun's rays but from the thaumaturgical potential. The further towards the absolute interior of the ring one proceeds, the more twisted and monstrous the creatures grow, eventually becoming nearly unrecognizable horrors whispered of only in dread tales.
