Managault Bay

The land that encircles Managault Bay is a varied territory, with high peaks, rocky hills, verdant forests, and sweeping plains. It is also the location of an active volcano, the Demon's Eye. Many creatures make their way from the Wildlands to the south and east, but few are suited for the harsh mountains and colder tempretatures in the region.
The architecture in Managault is some of the oldest, as the Favored Ones represent one of the earliest colonies of Alteria in the Dragon Sea. Many folk have made their homes in the Malscari Foothills on the eastern coast of the Bay, with the capital city of the Favored Ones being just south of there. Many of the settlements are built within the hills, dug out as barrows that connect with natural cavern tunnel networks. It is believed that they delve as deep as the Under Sea.
Favored Ones
The Favored Ones are the descendants of the Alterian Empire and the original inhabatants of the Dragon Isles. These inhabitants were fiends and dragons who bred through magic the peoples known as dragonborn and tieflings. It is widely believed this process has been occuring since the War of the Sword and Serpent and the exiles of that war retreated to the Dragon Isles. The self-serving nature of the fiends that spawned them has diminished from the culture and they have congregated in great towns and cities while adhering to the same laws of the Alterian Empire.
When Empress Zorana Magness was assassinated, the Favored Ones segmented themselves from the Empire and formed their own nation with a declaration of independence. During this early seperation from the protection of the Empire, many wyrms and fiends descended upon the peoples to reclaim them as unwilling servants and battle-fodder. They were bested at many turns, specifically by the Dragon Lord Ranenth and the Chieftan Kolarik. Ranenth was given the title of Destroyer of Foes and is seen as the final arbiter of all laws and decisions made in Managault Bay.
More than anything, the Favored Ones hold themselves as keepers of ancient histories and the greater mysteries of the Dragon Isles. They sometimes speak in riddles or in ways that confound peoples from other isles. The capital city of the Bay, known as Arandus, is where the greatest library of the Dragon Sea is. Above all, sorcerers, warlocks, and wizards are the most common types in Managault Bay. Many are born with raw magical talent, some give themselves up to the entities that linger in the region, and some seek mastery of magic and power through study. Clerics and paladins are not terribly common in Managault Bay, as few hold religion to a high esteem.
