The Bleakwoods The Bleakwoods is a vast boreal forest that covers most of northern malteria. The forest is largely uninhabited, as it is filled with hostile creatures from Dire Spiders to Feral undead. The area has not been fully mapped by the nations of malteria as a result of the hostility of the territory. It is a hot spot for adventurers and treasure hunters however as it contains a considerable amount of ruins scattered about the forest from early malterian kingdoms.  The Bleakwoods are an important barrier on the continent as the woodland crawls all the way up to the northern coastline of the Bay of Gleshmere meaning any overland route from the River Lords to Sanctum or the Fae-Flats must cross through it. It became apparent after the conclusion of the Scintillian Crisis that this overland route must be made at least partially safer.  Lordsmen were unable to come to the aid of  Raileys Folley, as the Bleakwoods were nearly untraversabl...

Raileys Folley The town of Raileys Folley was located in the region known as the Fae-Flats, similar to the Northarm, this region was made up of former Lordsmen, who made their way through the Bleakwoods dividing the Bay of Gleshmere and settled into the region looked over by the Fae peoples. It is one of the northernmost human settlements on Malteria, and was as a result largely self-sufficient, though it traded frequently with the town of Whistlepointe and counted itself as a protectorate of Sanctum. The fall of the city began in the early days of the Scintillian Crisis. The Undead Legionnaires of Scintillia descended southward and overran the town of Tambea, the survivors fled west and found themselves residence at Raileys Folley in the form of a ragged tent city. It was mere weeks before the 2nd Legion followed through the Bleakwood and surrounded the city.  Realizing the danger, the guard of Railey's Folley sent forth messengers to Sanctum t...

Sanctum [191 64 -185] Sanctum is a protectorate of the Fae, it both refers to the wider protectorate as a nation and to the City-State that serves as its capital. The human population of the nation is comprised primarily of dissidents from the River Lords, individuals who chafed under what they perceived to be an oppressive hereditary autocracy. Like other groups in the River Lords, these peoples left the fertile kingdom, but rather than venturing up into the Northarm, they traveled along the coast of the Bay of Gleshmere. where they eventually came to a tall tower, thick with clinging vegetation, all about the tower the soil was rich and bloomed with wildflowers. It was here that they settled, not knowing what they had found. In a few years, the fae took notice of the new residents around their watchtower and issued forth from their realm to judge the humans The Fae are a race of empathy, feeling the emotions on a primal level of all living beings, of everything ...
