At the Empire's height, when the capital moved north to Paravenos, Charasea remained a key hub of sea-faring and trade, while imperial aristocrats built their summer homes on the warm shores of the nearby gulf and cruised their pleasure-boats around its islands. When the Vlandians came, Charas fell into the hands of the ruthless House of dey Cortain, and its wealth funds their ambitions." /> <string id="1ImuW3My" text="Quyaz was once a mercantile republic that dominated the trade between the western ocean and the Perassic Sea, speaking the now all-but-extinct Kannic tongue, a relative of Nahasawi. But imperial hegemony slowly snuffed out its trade, and the rulers was taken over by mercenaries from the Nahasa. It came intermittently under imperial subjugation but today is a prized holding of the Banu Hulyan, a leading clan of the Aserai sultanate." /> <string id="1SnAH5K8" text="Rovalatys, in the mountains of the Ebor peninsula, was never fully an imperial town. Nordic migrants, drawn to the region by rumors of riches to be made prospecting for silver or hunting for furs, long outnumbered Calradians even before the Vlandian invasion. The Vlandians too recognized its potential, and despite its harsh winters this land is among the more populous regions of the kingdom, with bountiful fields in the valleys of the mountains feeding the constant flow of settlers from the south drawn here by their hunger for wealth." /> <string id="4ENGzVaC" text="The tale of Sarpea of Onira is one of the epic poems of the eastern frontier. Like many, it seems written to justify the Empire's conquest. Sarpea, a senator's daughter, was seized by a Palaic chieftain and carried to his citadel here. When the imperial armies appeared before its walls years later to rescue her, she begged them to retreat for the sake of her infant son, whom her fearsome husband had threatened to hurl from the walls instead of allowing him to be captured and raised by his mother's people. The legions withdrew, so the story says, but the boy grew into a warrior who joined the Empire and slew his father. It is now the center of a horse-breeding industry on the eastern plains." /> <string id="4OAz8urz" text="Pen Cannoc sits on a promontory overlooking the Trand river as it plunges from the Uchalion plateau into the Vlandian lowlands. Legends speak of the water-nymphs who live in the dark pools under the rock, luring travellers and invaders to their deaths, except on those rare occasions when they fall in love with a hero and grant him victory and blessings. Certainly the fisherfolk of this region have learned respect for the perils of the upper Trand, where a small misstep on slippery stone can cast one off a precipice into the waters below." /> <string id="4UNOQQRa" text="The town that the Khuzaits know as Akkalat, the White Fortress, was built by the fearsome Padishah Hoshtar on one of his periodic attempts to conquer the Devseg. For decades the sacred flame that burned from the top of the citadel symbolized his suzerainty over the tribes here. But the Padishah's realm like the Empire is on the defensive and has retreated to the east. Today the Khan's horsetail banners fly in its place." /> <string id="5SpYVtie" text="Rhotae is a former Palaic hill-fort in the shadow of the basalt slab of Mount Erithrys, once known as Rotash. It fell to the Empire shortly afer Lageta. The Palaic chief here, when he heard of what happened to his neighbor, slaughtered a dozen imperial citizens under his protection. The eccentric long-haired general Sarapios led the punitive column that took Rotash and burned it to the ground. 'Lageta we took treacherously but with little bloodshed. Rotash we took honorably, with great bloodshed,' he supposedly said afterwards. 'Both will be remembered as a stain on our name. The victor always takes the blame, but keeps the gold.'" /> <string id="66Mzk0NZ" text="Thicket" /> <string id="79R6gi4l" text="Galend overlooks the wave-beaten Biscan coast. It takes in the catch from the Biscan's intrepid fishermen who venture out far into the western ocean, as well as the wool of sheep from the green fog-covered hills. The current line of Vlandian kings comes from the clans who settled in this region during Osric Iron-Arm's invasion." /> <string id="8dDNWHR4" text="The Retreat" /> <string id="8UJ3cPrZ" text="Myzea gives its name to the Myzeiad, the rich hill country of the east-central empire. This region is the old stomping grounds of the senator Litos, who brought the Palaic tribes here into the empire relatively peacefully by offering them protection against raiders from the steppes. When he fell afoul of his rivals in the Senate, however, he tried to organize them into a rival 'barbarian' republic modelled on the ancient Calradian version. The empire snuffed it out, but the people here, now thoroughly Calradicized, still harbor an attachment to the old republican system and its partisans." /> <string id="a0MVffcN" text="Backstreet" /> <string id="aOn6pa0D" text="Sargot is a common name for hills, promontories, islands and other defensible positions in western Calradia. It refers to a fortified encampment of the Massa, a tribe allied to the the Vlandians who joined their invasion. Though the Massa moved on, their stay was often so traumatic for a district that the name remained long after their departure. This Sargot was actually founded on the ruins of an imperial town, resettled by Vlandians, and which has supplanted the memory of the community that came before it." /> <string id="aTMypBiY" text="Varnovapol, which sits beneath the Chertyg mountains on the crystal waters of Lake Laconis, has the dubious honor of being perhaps the most-often conquered city in Calradia. Originally it was a colony of the Empire, infamous as a place of exile for dissident senators, before it was seized by Nords as a base to expand their influence into the Sturgian fur trade. It was taken by the Alkit tribe from the eastern steppe and briefly served as the capital of a small khanate, before finally falling to the fierce Ormidoving clan." /> <string id="bnl7Va4c" text="Husn Fulq sits at the southeastern edge of the Caldea, the network of rivers and brackish lagoons linking the Empire to the Aserai lands. Fulq, also known as Phalcos, was a dark-faced mercenary chieftain who came from lands far to the south. He founded a fortress here and then parlayed its strategic location into a fortune, taking bribes from the Empire and then from the Aserai to switch sides. After 20 years of playing both sides back and forth he sailed home in a ship laden with gold, but many clans of the Aserai proudly claim descent from him, and the 'Tricks of Fulq' are a staple of many a bazaar storyteller's repetoire." /> <string id="bPDqyqkb" text="Makeb sits on the northern tip of Lake Tanaesis, Tanaz in the steppe tongue. Here, it guards the cataract over which the Karakaz river empties into the lake. This city has long been ruled by petty khans and shahs, who collect tolls from traders forced to haul their boats around the rapids. The last of those rulers was beheaded by Urkhun himself after he refused a demand of tribute, after which the ruling family of the Khuzaits seized this town for themselves." /> <string id="Dxnj5JQE" text="Ortongard sits in the dry center of the Devseg plateau, which is dry for most of the year but offers rich grazing in the spring. Founded by Darshi-speaking merchants, it made its wealth buying horses, sheep and cattle from the surrounding herding villages and sending them west to the markets of the empire in huge drives, accompanied by guards to ward off raiders from the steppes. Neither its walls nor its mercenary armies could withstand the coming of Khan Urkhun, however, who it granted to the Khergit clan in recognition of their valor." /> <string id="Eb7Lgq10" text="Ostican was a minor imperial port that became a haven for seafarers of the northern oceans. Many were talented corsairs, employed by imperial factions to harry their foes during the latter empire's intermittent civil wars. Indeed, the some of the first Vlandians to come to Calradia's shores settled in the back alleys of this town, and no doubt sent word to their kinsmen of the riches to be had here should anyone invade in earnest." /> <string id="EJZLzhJk" text="Saneopa sits on a low pass leading from the Nevys valley to the north to the pool of the Ophthys. The ancient Palaic peoples of this region, like the Battanians, treated lakes as sacred sites, and the Ophthys in particular was said to be a gateway to another world. The hustle and bustle of Saneopa, one of the main trading centers of inland Calradia, stands in sharp contrast to the dark and silent waters below." /> <string id="F5HlQdgf" text="Tyal sits in the western foothills of Mount Iltan, on the eastern borders of the Sturgian lands. This region has long stood aloof from the power struggles of the other Sturgian principalities. Its people are known as wanderers, traders, horse breeders and fur-trappers. The local aristocracy has occasionally exchanged princesses with the steppe tribes to the east to firm up a truce or a trade pact, and proudly includes the names of several great khans on their list of ancestors." /> <string id="fOUsLdZR" text="Pasture" /> <string id="GChIoZdd" text="Askar dominates the middle stretches of the Damar River, as it weaves between the bluffs of the Jarjara Escarpment. This region has been thickly populated for thousands of years, but the river is restless, and every few centuries leaps its banks and erases what comes before. This latest regional capital was an imperial encampment during their furthest penetration of the Nahasa several centuries ago, taken over by the Aserai tribes after the legions withdrew." /> <string id="i2VkRLBg" text="The former Nord colony of Varcheg sits on a windswept sea-bluff at the base of the Kachyar peninsula in what was once Battanian land. The jarl who founded this coastal outpost, hoping to trade with the interior, pledged himself in fealty to the Battanian High King Dernmachad, but then proceeded to dabble in Battanian politics. Annoyed, Dernmachad hired a Sturgian army to crush his unreliable new vassal. The Sturgians complied and routed the Nords, but then demanded the newly captured town as their payment. They called the town 'Varcheg,' a corruption of the Nordic term for 'oathsworn companion,' to mock both rivals whose quarreling had handed them their prize." /> <string id="IIMWPVhU" text="The inland city of Hubyar is said to be built on the ruins of a luxurious hunting lodge built by the decadent and cruel king Thuran, whom the patriarch Asera slew in vengeance for the enslavement of his family. This memory may explain the worldview of the fierce and austere Banu Qild, who hold the castle today and who detest all frivolity. But the scent of jasmine that can be detected on the night breezes here carries an undercurrent of temptation. It was here that the hero Nimr came to grief, caught in the chamber of a Banu Qild maiden and left hanging in a cage in the market until he perished." /> <string id="iXA5SttU" text="Bog" /> <string id="J4bgNT0r" text="The legendary Queen Eshora, it is said, punished the jinn who were harassing her people by imprisoning them in one of the caves above Qasira, carving the mystical eight-pointed star into the rock to seal them in. She sentenced them to haul water from the depths of the earth, feeding the springs that gush forth from the rocks and which for centuries have irrigated the date gardens of Qasira and its surrounding villages." /> <string id="JhBSnWAe" text="Ortysia, named for the quails who inhabit the nearby coastal marshes, was the first Calradian colony on the shores of the Perassic Sea. In its early centuries, it fell under the authority of the Kannic city-state of Quyaz, but the empire's expansion soon united the colony with its mother republic. For centuries, sailors coming from the pirate-infested islands of the Bay of Charas gave thanks when they saw its towers looming through the haze of the western Perassic, signalling a return to safe imperial-patrolled waters." /> <string id="Jm2uZiwV" text="Marunath, the 'Horse of the Ford,' is nowhere near a river. But Battanian bards love nothing more than an incongruous place-name around which a legend can be woven. In this case the hero Ochlaigan, who was foretold to defeat the seven sons of Glanys in seven duels near seven fords, encountered the last of his enemies here. He slit his horse's throat and crossed over the stream of blood that gushed forth, defeating his last enemy and fulfiling the prophecy." /> <string id="jXBnf2hQ" text="Razih is said to be the base from which Kannic explorers set forth to colonize the shores of the Perassic Sea in the centuries before the coming of the empire, the prows of their ships decorated with the intertwined vine leaves of the Kannic goddess of wealth, wine, love and war. Today, the Kannic tongue has been replaced by Nahasawi dialects and their religion is all but forgotten, but the symbol lives on, said to protect those who risk all for the sake of gain or glory." /> <string id="kghCLS9q" text="Zeonica sits by the seaside at the base of the Iltaric hills, a land of wine, grain and horses. It was named for the Lady Zeona, one of the few women to rule the Empire - admittedly as regent for her son rather than Empress Regnant. It is known for the Zeonic Wind, a gale that blows northward across the Perassic Sea every summer carrying the burning heat of the Nahasa desert to the imperial south. In other seasons the weather here is mild, a weather pattern that has provided many a poet with a metaphor for the transience of passion." /> <string id="LqPJY4s9" text="The city of Argoron sits where the cold, slow moving Nevys River meets Lake Laconis. This was once the land of the Laconians, who saw the Empire as a protector against the more warlike Palaic peoples. They welcomed and intermarried with imperial settlers and their chiefs joined the Senate, and their old language and customs faded away." /> <string id="LWHIVshb" text="Clearing" /> <string id="n9WMUuSp" text="Epicrotea, the 'All-Conquering' was named after the eccentric long-haired military genius Sarapios, who crushed a Battanian host and secured the lands west of Lake Laconis for the Empire. Its towers, overlooking the Miron river, have frequently been a northerner's first glimpse of the awesome and terrible force to their south." /> <string id="NFIYqaab" text="Iyakis sits in a cleft in the Jarjara escarpment, where the waters of the fierce but brief desert rains can be trapped and used for irrigation. For generations ago it was an autonomous outpost of the Empire known as Yachios, dominated by the Carasios clan. Fifty years ago however they saw the writing on the wall for imperial dominion in the southlands, and began intermarrying themselves with the tribes of the Nahasa. Today, known as the Qaraz, they take their places in the councils of the sultanate like any other family of the Aserai." /> <string id="nhmBQIC4" text="Ocs Hall is one of the few towns in the Vlandian kingdom that was founded after the seizure of the land from the Empire. This valley was once an isolated holdout of Battanians, centered on the Llyn Modris, a lake in a volcanic caldera that was said to be the seat of a giant. This land was conquered by the Vlandian warlord Oca, who also gave his name to the nearby Ocspool lake. The Battanian tribes were driven inland, and took their legends with them." /> <string id="Nx0qK2g6" text="Paravenos was the second major colony founded by Calradios the Great, and it soon succeeded Charasea as the capital of the Calradians. Eventually, the empire's center of gravity moved east, but Paravenos retained its primacy as the economic center of the West. When Osric Iron-Arm the Vlandian invaded, he recognized Paravenos would be far more valuable as a seat of power than as simply as a source of loot, and negotiated its surrender with local senators. It passed to a cadet branch of Osric's line, the dey Tihr clan, and is today known as Pravend." /> <string id="pbHXtJ82" text="Omor sits on the eastern shores of Lake Laconis. Long before the Sturgians formed themselves into a principality it was a holy site for the forest tribes, who worshipped their gods and ancestors in the sacred oak trees of the nearby woods. Today, it is an emporium for fur trappers and woodsmen who prowl the Ircara wildlands to the east, and the primeval peace of the forests is drowned out by the sounds of bartering, saws, and the unloading of ships at the lake." /> <string id="PPadNxa6" text="Sibir was founded in a dark valley amid the Chertyg mountains by Nordic traders, who wished a base to buy furs from the local Vakken-speaking foresters. As the Sturgian tribes became principalities, and elected chieftains evolved into boyars who demanded taxes and labor as their due, this region became a magnet for Sturgians who had little taste for deference. Today, the ambitious Isyaroving family governs this region, but they must always balance their hunger for wealth and men to fight their wars with their subjects' reluctance to provide it." /> <string id="QD3oaaNK" text="Car Banseth sits high on the cliffs of Ailta Druin. Staring north on a clear day, across lands that were once Battanian but are now held by the Sturgians and Vlandians, one can see the waters of the Bay of Varcheg. It is said that those who keep faith will one day witness from this high point the ships of the vanished High King Mon, who shall return to deliver his people from their enemies. But today, one is far more likely to see the sails of Nordic adventurers and mercenaries, coming to assist the foreigners in their relentless push into Battanian land." /> <string id="R6YJsK89" text="Jaculan sits in the warmer southern reaches of the Biscan coast, in rolling hills known for their olive trees. It was once a favored resort of the imperial aristocracy, who hunted wild boars amid the oak forests. The independent peasantry of this region are known for their heterodox ideas. The Brotherhood of the Woods is but the latest of a series of rebellions to have broken out here, sometimes aided by an aristocracy that considers them a tool to use against rival Vlandian houses." /> <string id="rGXdJybe" text="The town of Poros sits near the northern shores of the Perassic Sea. The warm rolling hills of these parts are well suited to the raising of sheep and horses. The herdsmen have a reputation for being proud and violent, but the nobles of the Leonipardes clan who rule this land are careful to respect their autonomy. Livestock rustling and blood feuds are common here, and it is said that the Leonipardes will never interfere unless invited by both parties, but when they do, their judgments will be obeyed by all." /> <string id="RL2vacqv" text="Phycaon sits at the head of the Sethys valley, one of the main grain-producing regions of the central Empire. Once the largest of the Palaic cities, its leaders led a league of the tribes against imperial encroachment into the region. But when the empire's victory looked inevitable, they made their peace. The population, now thoroughly Calradicized, have a reputation for being serious, respectable and trade-minded, dependable if a bit humorless." /> <string id="Rr1cy5Sk" text="Waterfront" /> <string id="rX8oGVvV" text="The Palaic chieftain of Amitatys had a particularly grim reputation, a tyrant who slaughtered innocents to appease the gods of the underworld in the hope they would grant him immortality. Inevitably, he fell into conflict with the Empire, and during the siege an earthquake crumbled his walls and allowed imperial troops into the city. More died in the ensuing sack than the tyrant had ever killed, but it was war, and the outcome - attributed to the wrath of Heaven - was a staple of imperial propaganda as they expanded their foothold in the region." /> <string id="Settlements.Settlement.name.castle_A1" text="Tubilis Castle" /> <string id="Settlements.Settlement.name.castle_A2" text="Sahel Castle" /> <string
