The City-State of Thandasa...

Is located on Dvorac,an Island on the Western Hemisphere. It spans the entire continent and it is divided into seven provinces. The Seven Provinces are named after their Capitol Cities and they are as follows Zalorea, Primus Nova, Silver Stream, Gundar’s Cairn, Farreston, Grom Pravda, and Archanfel’s Keep which was formerly Jorungard. The City-State has two meetings of the Heads of State per year at Primus Nova where they discuss the affairs of the country and renew their Provincial bonds.

Zalorea, the predominately elven province is run by Mother Felosia who is the High Priestess of the Elven goddess. It has adopted a rather isolationist policy when dealing with many non-elves and even some elves. You are free to enter but getting there is a rather difficult journey, that’s why I tend to call it an Isolationist policy. It holds one other town in its province, Dijvaro whose population is a fair mix of humans, elves and half-elves. Zamora’s Economy is mostly based on Luxury trade and sparse subsistence fishing. It trades exotic cloths, wine, silk and other such luxury items in return for other necessities.

Primus Nova is run by Duke Ellington, who has just recently acquired the position. He gained his position due to his father’s influence upon the city council. Despite his means of gaining power, Duke Ellington runs the country very well. Albeit not a warrior, he is one hell of a statesman and rumor has it that he dabbles a bit in the arcane arts. There are two other larger towns in the province, one large one by the name of Feyrsil and a smaller, Kuryu. This province is primarily an Agricultural one, this is due to the vast, Savannah that encompasses it which has a deep and rich topsoil.

Silver Stream is run by Mayor Ocelot, but Harbormaster Jafod is an equivalent leader who attends all meetings with the Mayor. They share their power as their station in life permits, Ocelot Handles the Politics and Lawmaking while Harbormaster Jafod handles economic issues and manpower management. The City itself relies on sailing and fishing, while Usdek is self-sufficient and the large Gnome population of Regnav City relies on the export of artifacts found in the nearby ruins and various other unique works.

Gundar’s Cairn is a marvel of dwarven work; it is the result of a Dwarf under the guidance of the Dwarven god. He organized the backwards dwarves and reforged them into a mighty collection of people. His Son Korthek now leads them after the death of Gundar many years ago. They use no title, as Gundar had no use for them, they simply know who leads. The Economy of the province is driven by mining, metalwork and Gem manufacture. The City of Durandin and the Small town of Kalvard are also within the province, both of which are predominately Dwarven. The Village of Myragon stands within this province as well; the people there are left to themselves, as it is there wish. Myragon is evenly populated by all of the humanoid races, and is completely self-sufficient.

Farreston is a City Deep within a Barren Desert; it surrounds the Flame Tongue Oasis. The Oasis received its name from a man who was cursed with an insatiable thirst. The Province is run by Chief Longard, this city’s only two exports are the nectar of the Rust Lily and the sap of the Desert Maple. These two products along with a few others can cure many pains and aid in healing. Basih was originally a rest point between Farreston and Vorbassa, but many have settled there for they found it profitable to act as a supply post. Vorbassa provides fish and other such products for Farreston, b/c of the many things that lack in the Desert community.

Grom Pravda is a Fortified Capitol City; it has been so due to its past history. It was a Frontier City built during days long past to be a beacon of civilization in an area sprawling with many forms of Hostile life. It is headed by Lord Garamond, a man of middle age, yet who still holds the vigor of youth. He is the same man who founded The Knights of the Silver Shield and who has overseen much of their training. Grom pravda’s main export is Lumber and the root of the Stone Oak. The Town of Pidikavarus is to the south of the Capitol and it’s mainly an agrarian society, it helps to provide a stable food source on this side of the Star Bridge Mountain Range. Quade is a small town that runs a stone quarry; it provides extra stone to maintain Grom Pravda’s Great Fortifications.

Archanfel’s Keep which was formerly Jorungard, but at the last meeting of the Heads of State, Jorungard’s Mayor did not attend, when a query was sent the only message that returned, with the disembodied head of the inquisitor was “Stay out of Archanfel’s Keep!” No one knows what to make of it save that it was not an empty threat. Rumor has it that it has something to do with the Crash of the Azdija Meteor a few weeks before, but if there is a connection no one can be sure.
