[edit] Mercia
This Human homeland occupies the southeastern portion of the main continent. Mercia lies between an eastern ocean and Pall of Oncylus. The wastelands of Cairn, filled with deteriorating minotaur cities and giants, are south of Mercia. Morak is just north of Mercia.
Mercia is covered with grassy hills, thin deciduous forests, lakes, and waterways. The beautiful Eanna river flows throught the center of Mercia. Mercia also has many outlying islands to the east.
[edit] Twilight Empire
The Twilight Empire exists below the surface of Mercia. This Empire is the home of demon prince Malaut. Malaut has recently expanded his goals to converting the citizens of Mercia to his faith. He preys on those who are of weak mind and foolish. As entire communities in Mercia have now been converted to the worship of Malaut, Mercian authorities are desperately seeking to destroy this frequently expanding faith.
[edit] Sanguine
Sanguine, located in southern Mercia, is the capital of the Human homeland. Sanguine, established by the legendary Duke John, is built atop a wide plateau surrounded by plains. This capital is famous for its lush parks and active market squares.
Three important villages, serving as excellent places to start a career, are located near Sanguine. The southern logging town of Sandbrook lies amid the ancient ruins of the Nithron giants. In the east Heart of Eanna, located on the shores bordering the ocean, serves as a major trading hub. Monkfield lies to the west, where the main ore supply for Mercian smithies is excavated by the mining community.
