THE SETTING Van'ostgar is a large kingdom, situated in a world known as Ciryatan. Van'ostgar is a prosperous kingdom with a fair king who gets closer to his death bed with each passing day. According to rumors, when the king passes, the throne will be handed down to his nephew rather than his own son. There are many assumptions as to why this may be, the most plausible of which being that the prince, a practitioner of corrupt magics, has been slowly poisoning his father. The kingdom is bordered on three sides by the Arcane Sea while, to the north, is the Dead Forest, a place where the living fear to tread. Past the Dead Forest is nothing but wild land that hasn't been occupied by humanoid creatures in centuries. Not many have been known to travel to the Forgotten Lands and return in one piece. Van'ostgar is a kingdom subjected to the mercy of all four seasons. The winters are bitter cold and the summers hot, though the severity of any seasons conditions vary according to location within the kingdom. Faelbane Tower is located on the east coast, a prime location for experiencing each of the seasons. Though the beaches surrounding the tower are beautiful and perfect for warmer weather, the tower itself is situated atop high cliffs, the water beneath rocky and rough. Still, it's not a far walk to where you can feel the sand between your toes. A map of the kingdom will be made sometime in the near future. |
