## Description

A Dracolich in Alton? That can't be good! Offical art by @thatartjack (Jack Kaiser)

### Inhabitants

Various Races, mostly human types

The Alton region is a region in the world that consists of several small states ruled by jarls, and a few larger countries with different governmental systems. The region has been somewhat of a hot spot in recent history. The previous leaders of Eltmur had begun to show imperialistic tendencies, and tried to take over the entire region. They hadn't conquered all of Alton before they were overthrown by The Silver King, but they had significantly expanded the country's borders.

A force of potential order or chaos in the region (depending on your perspective) are United Clergy of Orun members that seek to spread their beliefs through conversion.

20 years after the Eclipse that began the new age, Alton was again thrown into chaos by the appearance of a dracolich and the utter destruction of Isenvale by the Ashplague.

## Prominent Locations

### Alton Archipelago

A tropical chain of islands where six pirate lords ply the seas in search for treasure and in pursuit of their own goals. Many of the islands are uncharted and home to a variety of cultures, creatures, and fantastic phenomenon.

### Athil

A country bordering Isenvale to the West and Northwest, Athil apparently has problems with demons according to The Outsider.

### Buldur

A dwarven kingdom with a mountainous coastline.

### Chelstonia

The largest country in the Alton region, it is governed by King Agustus Chelstonia. It shares a border with Buldur, and is a relatively peaceful neutral nation.

### Delvaria

A country to the east of Hearthlen. They have recently fought a war over their border, but tensions have reduced and the the two countries maintain an uneasy peace as they recover. Delvaria is an arid, barren country with a harsh environment populated by a tough people with a culture that appears violent and crude to outsiders.

### Eltmur

An expansionist monarchy until the Silver King took power.

### Graul Moor

A marshy land with a warrior culture of komodo dragon lizardfolk where slavery and dragon cult activity is common. The strongest rules, and gladiatorial combat is part of normal conflict resolution. It lies to the north of Veosulai. "They are all assholes." ~ MontyGlu, 2021

### Hearthlen

A country to the east of Isenvale. The western part of the country is heavily forested and has the logging town of Acorn.

### Holm

A secluded island off the coast of the region which is home to a culture of loxodon dedicated to the worship of Uspa.

### Ironkind

A dwarven kingdom south of Meadowfield. Mentioned in C2E7 by The Outsider as a place he's been.

### Isenvale

A very small country in the south of the Alton region, bordered by Marteralo in the south, Athil in the west and northwest, and Hearthlen in the east.

### Marteralo

A coastal country on the south-eastern point of the Alton region. It has a lot of ports and many sailors.

### Meadowfield

A halfling country, sometimes called Pradoa Campo by the locals. It is somewhere northwest of Isenvale.

### Savass

A country mentioned by The Outsider as someplace he's been.

### Sethelia

The second largest country in the Alton region and the most north-western, that has quite a craggy, rocky terrain but isn't particularly mountainous. It is primarily populated with humans, and is ruled by a council. The country is known to be a significant naval power and a huge trading port. It is also a very magically inclined country, focusing mostly on wizardry, magical items and the development and evolution of spells. A lot of the magical exports from Alivast, such as magical items and scrolls containing newly discovered magic, end up in Sethelia.

### Trayscaldyn

The Outsider mentions it as a place that is bad for magically inclined people. He wasn't sure if it was nearer Volar or Chelstonia. Due to trauma from the Mage War, which Trayscaldyn was hit especially hard by, the country developed a very anti-magical sentiment, and those who are magically inclined are generally executed on the spot. This sentiment isn't just limited to arcane magic, but divine magic as well.

### Valithea

A smaller kingdom and ancestral home of Remy. Occupied by Eltmur until a few years before the Eclipse.

### Veosulai

The "land of crystal rivers" that lies to the west of Eltmur and north of Hearthlen and Isenvale. The River Arcturna runs through its northernmost tip. The Outsider notes it has a very corrupt government.

### Volar

A country that is mostly bordered by Hearthlen, but also meets the eastern tip of Marteralo. In eastern Volar there is a mountain range called the Volardores, where dangerous goblin bat riders live.

## Trivia
