Eterria

## Background

Little is known about Eterria and it’s customs as the nation tends to withdraw from world affairs and hides behind the Vassal Stonerun. The only way into the country is through Vassal’s Pass, a long and treacherous trek through the mountains. Due to the geography, Eterria is entirely self sufficient and rarely trades with other nations.

## Culture/Religion

Eterria is extremely isolationist and little is known about it's culture except by those who live there or have traveled there. It is primarily populated by elves and various sylvan and elemental races. Eterria follows the teachings of Lunasa.

## Nodelnai Family

The Nodelnai Family is the oldest noble family of Eterria and has been ruling since the birth of the nation. The current leader is King Roven who wed Miralai of the noble family Kiirama. Their firstborn son, Dion, is set to inherit the throne and be wed to Valeria of the noble family Lanisurinya. Their second child, Elmys, is enrolled in Lunasa Academy and is expected to assume the position of Archmage after their studies are completed and they are of age.

## Lunasa Academy

Set on the banks of Moonbeam Lake, Lunasa Academy is one of the few formal schools that teach the arcane arts in T'ona'scep. The Academy rarely accepts those not from Eterria to study there.

# Cities

## Vieve

The capital city of Vieve is renown for its beauty and otherworldliness. It is said the veil between worlds is thinnest there and that magic is especially potent in northern Eterria.

## Mystide

The city of Mystide is primarily populated by scholars and those that study the arcane arts due to Lunasa Academy residing just outside the city walls. There are many magical items, scrolls and tomes for sale at various shops and stalls.

## Portcoeur

The port city of Portcoeur offers ferries to both the town of Swansbridge and the capital of Vieve. It has a robust farming and artisan community; the soil surrounding the Vieve basin is especially fertile and rich in minerals.

# Villages

## Rieral

Rieral is the first point of contact for many looking to travel further into Eterria. Set at the mouth of the Vassal's Pass at the base of the Vassal Stonerun, Rieral has a large population of miners. The close proximity to the Wesgul River allows for diverse crops. Many tribes of Ishaw attempt to trade with Rieral, but few are successful. They are tolerant of outsiders but discourage traveling through the Vassal's Pass.

## Deaugrove

Deaugrove is situated in the center of Eterria at the crossroads between Portcoeur, Swansbridge, Rieral and Mystide. It is a large town and waypoint for travelers and traders. The surrounding forests are rich in natural resources and game.

## Coorside

The small fishing village of Coorside is south of Mystide. Many hopeful travelers attempt to reach Coorside by sea and avoid the Vassal's pass, but few ever make it, the waters surrounding Coorside are especially treacherous to those who are unfamiliar with navigating them.

## Ponsencombe

Ponsencombe sits at the mouth of Swans River between the Angry Top and Lil Slope mountain ranges. Few travel to the remote village and they are almost entirely self-sufficient.

## Swansbridge

Swansbridge is a pass-through town on the banks of the Swans River on the way to Vieve. Its more developed than most towns of it's size due to the amount of foot traffic that travels through. It has a surprisingly robust market and economy for a town of its size.

## Fronswood

The northernmost town of Eterria is small and rarely traveled to. It is primarily populated by sylvan and elemental races. Many live there to commune with nature and Lunasa.
