Tribe of the Wilds
A tribe that lives in the Flax
Desert, these people believe only in one thing. Survival of the fittest.
Magic and power mean nothing to
these hardy souls.
If you cannot survive the desert,
you are not worthy of their attention.
The Flax Desert
A grand expanse of desert said
to be entirely uninhabitable, save for a single hardy tribe of Faffurs.
Many adventurers have sought to
cross or explore
the Flax Desert, and all have failed.
Woist’icca Temple Ruins
Ruins located not far from the
Sunvale Glade, said to be a temple to worship the gods. But many say
the gods worshipped here were not
the same gods people worship today,
and while there is no evil aura
around the ruins, very few people go there, even explorers.
Sunvale Glade
A peaceful glade said to be the
home of the spirits of the forest, many travellers and explorers sometimes
visit this place to relax or ask
for good fortune in their travels.
Sometimes, they say, the spirits
talk back.
Caicoui City
A trading city said to sit where
the mountains meet the forest, a sort of gateway from one half
of the continent to the other.
Merchants of any and all sorts can be found here,
and it is a very peaceful and a
very honest city.
Vaitaie Town
A relatively small town located
'somewhere' in the forests,
known as a haven for travellers
and hunters alike with its inns and supply shops.
Wildtra Village
Where the famed tribe of the Wildtra,
the guardians of the Time Temple live.
Proud and noble, they stick to
their ancient traditions more than any other tribe or clan.
Lake Aicaraka
This beautiful lake can be found
roughly to the northwest of the town of Vaitaie,
and at one end of its glittering
expanse is said to be fed by the White Winds Waterfall.
Raillaic Keep
The home of one of the clans of
northern firewolves
, known for their assassination
techniques and poisons almost as deadly as the Tai'far's. Raillaic Keep
is
where the northern firewolf began
and is their ancestral home.
Cailcora tribe
A somewhat famous tribe of southern
firewolves known for their rough but noble leader.
His sons however have gained infamy
of their own, as this clan is responsible
for the firewolf brothers Zephyr
and Inavara.
Tallavier City
The capital city - even in the
past it was still impressive looking.
In the Present, it is equivalent
to a modern-day city
Aivena
A small township, populated mainly
by Faffurs, who distrust outsiders.
A well-known inn called the Inn
of the Yellow Rose is located here
used for weddings and social gatherings.
Miavara
A trading town which still retains
its old country style theme.
It is a place where you can unwind
and relax, where all species are welcome - even the furmentials
The Time Temple
According to legends, within this
temple a time vortex exists - in a dark tunnel
above the pool of water in its
inner sanctum. In the present it nothing more then ruins,
destroyed during an unknown war.
Burned Ruins
Exists on the outskirts of Tallavier
City, but unlike The Time Temple, is strictly off-limits.
This was once the home of the Firewolves
who turned on the
Humans and Faffurs during the Great
Slaughter, and now nothing, except burned buildings.
The area is believed to be cursed,
as after fifteen years
nothing has grown here - the ground
remains black and charred.
White Winds Waterfall
A natural wonder, this beautiful
waterfall sits on the side of a cliff that seems to
lead down into nothingness. It
is also the home for a tribe of Windhawks,
the same tribe responsible for
Vai'ray Stareye.
The Green Downs
Located about 50 kilometres from
Miavara, the Green Downs are flat and as per the name, green plains.
They are extremely vast and no-one
has fully ever crossed them,
as they seem to go on forever.
The area beyond the Green Downs is uncharted territory
there is more beyond it, but that
area has never been mapped
Lake Shincara
This greatly expansive lake opens
out into the sea, and is also the home of the majority of the waterhorses.
The small fishing village of Port
Isvara is the main docking bay for large ships that visit
from the islands beyond the mainland
Caistaka
In the language of the old world,
Caistaka means 'snake' and the name is well applied.
That is because Caistaka is a valley
filled with snakes!
However, there is a story that
a race of anthropormorphic snake-creatures, similar to the Faffurs, live
here.
The Hidden Tower
Very few know what is in the tower,
but those that do know not to talk about it, for it is the home of the
Tai'far.
These weasels operate with an agenda
that no others know about, and are users of powders and voodoo magic
to stun and enslave their opponents.
It is said the Queen of the Tai'far resides here,
but the current Queen is far more
ruthless than her predecessor...
Gable Mountains
One of the favourite and few nicer
stories of the world is the one of the Gable Mountains.
Located on their far side is a
secret village, that is rumoured to hold the secret to immortality in a
hidden spring.
But because of the sheer impossibility
of climbingthe Gable Mountains, the rumour of the village and the spring
are still both very much unconfirmed.
The City of The Mists
One of the most popular and well-known
legends in both the past and the future.
Rumour has it that somewhere is
a special artifact - the Sphere of the Mist - that grants you access to
the mysterious city.
No one knows what lives in the
City of the Mist, because all who have tried to find it have either failed
or vanished..
The Moonstar Opals
Mystical gems that legends say
are used to activate the full power of the Time Temple.
However they are very hard to find
and there are more than a hundred of them,
scattered to all the corners of
the world. No one has successfully gotten them all....
The Star-Soul Swords
Five swords of power that were
forged by the Elves of Iniiaki long ago. Each sword represents something
different,
and the blades themselves are the
Blackmyst Sword, the Whitemyst Sword, the Bluemyst Sword,
the Goldmyst Sword and the Redmyst
Sword. Nobody knows if this merely refers to their colours or
has some deeper meaning, as the
five swords are part of an old legend.
Crystal Beasts
These used to be normal beasts,
but by accident or planning they devoured or otherwise came into contact
with a Moonstar Opal.
The power of the Opal changed and
altered their bodies, making them incredibly powerful and dangerous.
One must retrieve the Opal without
killing the beast, or the Opal's power shall be lost.
Once the it is removed, the beast
will return to its natural state.
Xasalas
The equivalent of Christmas - both
faffurs and humans celebrate Xasalas, although it is not like Christmas
- no presents are given. It is
simply a time to be with friends and family,
to reconfirm friendships and loves.
Furmentials, unlike normal faffurs,
sometimes experience Xasalas on
a more mystical level than others.
