Can you tell us a little bit more about Rueβs world setting, like her kingdom?
Of course! its a huge wip rn but here's roughly the lay of the land:
The sea to the North is treacherous, while the seas to the South, East, and West are usually calm. This content is home to a very large variety of creatures and plants; a huge number of those are found only in this region. To the Northern, the mountains loom over the lands below, home to many mining villages, and are known for the pure water that runs down the sides of the mountains. There are natural hot springs at higher altitudes that have been known to hold magical properties. A mountain chateau was built into the cliffs of the mountains and it's rumored that there are Frozen mazes carved into the mountain, under this chateau.
Most southern lands receive a lot of brief rains, leaving the air humid, and the dew and the shimmer from the rains make surfaces shine with fluttery beauty. The environment allows the growth of a wealth of plants easily along with fruits, and flowers, and makes the cities lush with greenery and color year-round. As many of the southern lands are made up of islands, it is a very lucrative location for sea farriers, trade, and piracy.
The Eastern environment is a thick magical forest of evergreens redwoods and oak maturing to 100ft tall. Native people from this area live in the trees, with intricate catwalks to go between the treehouses. This environment can become more temperate than the rest of the continent in the winter months, save the south. The inhabitants of this forest are known for being elusive and the forest silent. Any who wander in with ill intent do not find their way out. If you listen to the wind among the trees you can hear them whisper. Several creatures and flora in these woods are hostile to outsiders.
The Western Wilds are rolling hills and sprawling grasslands. Unfortunately, these seemingly graceful lands have dangerous sinking swamps camouflaged as shallow valleys among the hills. These lands are home to many skilled farmers due to the open environment to farm and raise livestock. These farmers have keen senses to notice the sinking swamp traps and navigate the land safely. These lands sprawl and roll making it common to more avian-aligned creatures, as their sharp sight allows them to see their prey and avoid the sinking swamps.
The Northwestern continent is where one may find the Crystal academy of the Arcane, shadowed in academic mystery, and to the southwest is the Zairean Territory of blood, darkness, and fire. Occasionally wicked creatures wander out from these lands but are quickly dispatched.
