World Map

> Most were disgusted by the Arachne and were it not for them keeping to their tunnels they may be as hated as Demons. Their tunnels, however, were not limited to just the mountain range and spanned beneath the whole Northern Continent. What could be numerous safe trade routes, and perhaps less savory passages, were instead off limit zones that still occasionally claimed the ignorant or foolhardy traveler seeking a short cut.

### Northern Continent

> “
> Rainer stared down at the map in front of him. At its northern edge was the very town he was in. Beyond that only was listed as the Northern Tundra. The country they were currently in was called The Kingdom of Mier.
>
>
> “In the Northern Tundra, numerous scattered tribes are providing much of the trade goods that go through Grimlar’s Pass and out into the bulk of Mier.” Martin explained. He was seeing when Francis, as he knew him, would stop him and say he already knew this. Martin hoped to use this information to piece together Francis’s home and affiliation, but as of now, there was no such progress.
>
>
> “Past the Frozen Mountains and the Kingdom of Mier, to the Southern border of the Kingdom of Eamer lay the Waning Ocean. Much of Mier’s trade comes from them having the only city north of the Frozen Mountains along with many mines on the other side of the mountain range. Trading numerous furs and minerals with the indigenous people. It is but a rumor, but many of these indigenous people are actually tribes of Goblins and Orcs.” Martin spoke the last part with quite a bit of emphasis on rumor. Rainer took this to mean it was completely true.
>
>
> On the map, Rainer could see numerous kingdoms to the east and west of Mier. On the Eastern border of the map, several countries between Mier and there, he could see a mark that directly mentioned Demons.
>
>
> The continent itself had a slight crescent shape at its southern Border. How far North it extended, didn’t seem to be known.
>
>
> Even more so he pondered over what this map didn’t contain. The northern continent seemed to widen and stretch as it got to the section that denoted Demons.
>
>
> All of this made up the Northern Continent.

### Waning Ocean

#### Dragon Isles

> “
> “Right in the center of the Waning Ocean is a grouping of large and small Islands referred to as the Dragon Isles, in name only of course. Seven different kings rule these Isles. They make up both the weakest and strongest Alliance, all in one.”
>
>
> “It is the weakest due to their constant infighting, but strongest because any foreign forces would be met with such brutal resistance overtaking the Isles is something even us Mage Guilds and related countries have given up on.”
>
>
> “Perhaps if it were just the military power of the seven kings then, of course, how could we be stopped by such a thing?” Martin said with pride,”But the Isles due to their divided nature and importance as a major trade area between the surrounding continents have become home to numerous pirates and criminals. A gathering of all races in the world who need to hide or have left home. And most importantly,” Martin spoke this last line with a bit of disdain in his voice, “Black Mages.”
>
>
> Rainer took another look at the Dragon Isles. Some of the islands were large enough to be compared to some of the countries on the Northern Continent.

> From their east most territories, the countries of the Dragon Isles went from the Serpent King, Tiger King, Wolf King, Flame King, Rat King, and the Bear King.
>
>
> Though all their territories intermixed to a degree rather than being a straightforward ordering. The seventh king, the Sea King, held scattered islands and numerous settlements below water, making his territory more difficult to define.

#### Fenrar City

> “
> "Several hours later, they reached the capital. Looking out at the horizon, they saw numerous ships docking and setting sail from the huge port. The City itself went from stilted buildings over the water all the way up the side of an oddly shaped mountain where a large palace of white stone sat.
>
>
> The small mountain itself had a giant crescent hole cut out of the side of it. If the broken Souls from earlier didn’t confirm the presence of Dragons here long ago, that certainly did."

> “
> "Rainer headed towards the craftsmen sector of the city. Divided into numerous sectors, the city Fenrar contained diverse destinations. Nearest to the mountain sat the seat of the government, several stone buildings making up various public offices. Up above, on the carved out part of the mountain, stood the white stone palace of the Wolf King and the royal family, with a long staircase alongside the mountain leading to it. Within the sides of the mountain were various mines and underground growing facilities."

#### Dragon’s End

> “
> "Dragon’s End, the capital of the Rat King’s Territory. Unlike the more uniform Fenrar City, Dragon’s End looked like a mismatch of various building styles from wood shacks on the shoreline and beyond to strangely formed stone buildings by their side, to towers somewhere mixed in.
>
> The city itself had no clear division as well, where as in Fenrar main streets lead to the palace, there was no similar thing here, the city merely existing in a hodgepodge of various structures, the varied building styles following all the way through."

### Southern Continent

> “
> “Nearly the entire coastline of the Southern Continent is ruled by the Tarainan Empire. They are constantly at war with the various non-human kingdoms south of them. They are slightly antagonistic to mages, but not openly. I would not advise you stay there long if your travel plans lean in that direction. They do, however, make for excellent trade partners. More than worth it to risk traveling past the Dragon Isles.”
