Geography

Below is a guide to areas outside of Ethergaarde that are mentioned or visited during the campaign. While the Ethergaarde saga is primarily focused on its namesake, the quest may spread out to some areas outside the jurisdiction of Skipta and his knights.

## Worlds

### Amathara

The planet, the known world. Orbiting the stars Teshaltar and Omnum-Veris. Its regions/countries include Windswept Coast, Talim, Morsus Jungles, Razurnal Desert, Burning Sands, Fallen Plains, Blacklands, Empires of Stone, and Bethera

### The Shadowplane

A twisted mirror of the material world, marked by darkness, timelessness, and sorrow

### The Plane of Dream

Everyone travels to the plan of dream during sleep, but some have vivid lives within it

### Nightmare Zone

Where the Shadowplane and the Plane of Dream intersect, so does the obscurity and surrealism of each

## Regions/Countries

### The Windswept Coast

The contested northeastern plains and coastal region. Known for its many wars, its technological achievements, and the wondrous Bethera sea. The central country of the Recurring campaign.

### Talim

Olives, palm fronds, and diverse landscapes including deserts, mountains, and lakes make up this warm, spice-rich southern continent that sprung some of Amathara's most ancient civilizations

## Towns & Cities

### Ethergaarde

A large city-state and Pholtian theocracy presided over by Lord Skipta. Each district nominates a viceroy who can represent its interests in parliament. Skipta and the Pholtian Court hold sway over rulings.

### Al-draghazar

City in the underdark, home of deep gnomes, dark elves, and the Thurianni clan of shadow elves. Between Ethergaarde and Thornmoor, Al-draghazar is built amid stalactites, fungi, and caverns.

### Barony of Cephalan

Before Ethergaard existed there was the Barony, an off-shoot/prison society from New Bethera that eventually became its own contested territory. Known for its familial rivalries and lawlessness.

### Amberhelm

Where the Skipta family originated. Amberhelm is an ancient coastal city-state ruled by royal siblings, with prominent castles known as Citadel Aspen and Thunder Palace. Its influence is alive in the coastal cities.

### Thornmoor

Growing by the day, the city-state of Thornmoor is a plutocracy known for its high degree of technology and Warforged engineers and guards. A wealthy trading partner with Ethergaard dealing in iron and steel.

### Mournfall

Trades furs, meats, and herbs with Ethergaard and now ruled by the city, Mournfall (formerly Mornfall) is home to indigenous sun-worshipers but is now seeing an influx of Ethergaardian citizens living in the small village.

### New Bethera

The capital of the Windswept Coast, located on the island of Bethera. The richest city in all the Windswept Coast, New Bethera is a monarchy that believes in the divine right of kings.

### Maraport

Old coastal shipping village, named after Olidammara and frequented mostly by sailors moving up the coast who need a place to stop, gamble, drink, and sleep. Travelers say it grows dangerous at night.

### Vorel'thel

Mostly abandoned swamp village where Yex grew up. Most of the village was enslaved and then deserted, but saw a resurgence after King Kepesk rose to power here.
