Cov

## Description

A generally impressive country for it's small size, most of the country is a giant quarry/mine with the cities and towns made out of copper structures. These copper structures were created with magic labor imported from other lands, primarily Tanwen and Wevrae. There are two rivers that run through Cov and the capitol, Exxy, is a coastal city.

## Capitol, Cities, Towns

There is one capitol, three cities, and one town in Cov. Exxy is the capitol and has direct access to the sea. It also retains the benefit of being the seat of power for the entirety of the Cov Confederation.

Adraxis is found to the south of Exxy and is the mid largest of the three cities. Most of the cities or towns in Cov are found at the edges of the land as the center of the land has grown less hospitable to permanent settlement. This is due in part to the fact that it is an older mine/quarry, as well as the bands of marauders known to haunt the area and make their encampments there.

Iarann is the smallest of the three cities and is found to the north of Exxy. It is visible from the sea, but is not directly a coastal city, lying a few miles inland from the sea.

Kharbhola, the largest of the three cities, is found to the southeast of Exxy.

P'im is the smallest town in Cov and its location near the river is one of the only reasons it exists as its placement is optimal for trade.

Cov is full of many options for magic users and non-magic users alike. Many come to Cov for the superior metalsmithing that is done in Exxy, or to request the services of the more unsavory sort, as Cov has much in the way of assassins and thieves.

## Alliances

Cov is the leading land of the Cov Confederation, a group of four lands that have decided that their ideals generally align.

Nadí, Uman, and Vife are all members of this Confederation. Nadí and Uman are peaceful towards each other. Vife is rather militant against Yokov, and has tried to drag other members of the Cov Confederation into wars over territory.

Each land has representatives from each of the major population centers found within their borders, meaning that Cov has five representatives, Nadí four, Uman two, and Vife five. It is not terribly balanced of a system, but it manages to work out quite well.

## Races Found Within

Cov is one of the most diverse lands after Wevrae, Land of Magic. However, the top three most prominent races are as follows:

1. Half-elves
2. Tiefmars/Aaslings (Chaos Born)
3. Humans

## Special Gamic Abilities

Beings born in Cov have the abilities of the artifice, forge, and rune domains in addition to the one that all other lands have, the animal domain. Beings from Cov cannot cast any spells that involve destruction, or destroying something.

Common wild shapes from this land include wolves.
