Nagast
From Darkfall Database
[edit] General Information
The Nagast is homeland to the Alfar race. The Nagast lies in the southern portion of the continent between Mercia and the Mirdain Forest Republic. To the north of Nagast is the Pall of Synochus. To the southwest of Nagast are the pirate controlled Silkveil Islands, the continent of Rubaiyat, and the Ruby Sea.
The soil on Nagast is spell erradiated and gives off a faint purple hue. Very little of the Nagast folliage is edible. Nagast consists mostly of badlands filled with broken rocks, dark leafed trees, spire-like mountains, and enormous mushrooms.
Most Alfar cities exist underground because the Alfar do not like the sun. Sometimes the businesses of the Alfar will exist above ground and the residential sections will remain subterranean. Manthe-web weaving mills and mushroom farms always exist underground.
[edit] Aphelion
Aphelion is the capital of Nagast. It exists in an underground cavern containing the wildly churning lake Throat. This cavern is fed by two rivers and a waterfall. The outlet of lake throat remains vastly unexplored. Anyone thrown into the lake has never returned.
Aphelions Towers of Silence hang precariously over lake Throat. The towers are constructed of hollowed stalactites encircling the opening of the cascading waterfall that feeds the lake. Melek himself lives within these heavily guarded towers. The only way in or out of the towers is through a teleportation portal.
The ceiling and walls of Aphelion are overgrown with moss and fungi. The two adjoining caverns to the main Aphelion cavern contain a forest and a manthe spider-web weavery.
