Geography

In the distance, a huge and vast territory marks the beginning of what could be a kind kingdom. A huge fence covers the entire inner part of the kingdom. Far you can see a huge edification, denoting a style like from Middle Ages. The center of the kingdom marks the meeting point between different types of districts of this, each one marked in different signals over the place. At first glance you can see the difference between these districts, the size and style of buildings, the space between these, the quality of road and a special atmosphere.

In the heart of the kingdom can be seen a small but warm temple, which is used to learn the teachings and sayings of both the diocesan and the emperor himself, this place is followed by beings from different cultures and religions, categorized as the Babel Tower of deities, both for the beings of light during the day, and for the creatures of the dark overnight.

On the outskirts north of the kingdom can be seen a large maritime area, 'Zul Kulat’s Seas', a vast sea by which many commercial and military fleets have access to the kingdom, there come many valued goods, refugees from other lands, warriors and bounty hunters, and some other slave. Sounds of waves crashing into the ships and rocks, wood gnashing while sailors and adventurers walks on the boardwalk ground, men singing and fighting as solving various types of disputes, gulls squawking and stalking in search of pieces of dead fish, offal of fishing boats and sounds of bells announcing the entry and exit of ships can be heard in the distance while a lightly salty air travels all over the place.

South of the port district can get to see different kinds of tents and open-air stalls, some filled with food and provisions, other weapons and protections, and other totally empty, as if waiting for a trader to show and sell their goods, other buildings around the place denotes a more private environment when doing different types of transactions, both material and pleasantness, laughter and screams are intertwined with the sounds of carts and beasts of burden as they pass through the roads and gravel roads.

Further south the merchant’s district is a region which appears to be one of the most important of the kingdom. In this part are a group of non-very small buildings with different labels and specialists, workshops and construction sites gave it the name ‘District of Workers'. Many people that show great talent in the arts, whether manual, artistic, and Magic meet in that territory to exploit their talents in exchange for remuneration, or to teach their apprentices the art of a particular job. The district notes a better aesthetic situation in comparison with other districts, because of the care that is given to buildings and roads; also the sound is softer for more and better work performance due to non-riot of the citizens. On one side of this district, north-east, the carts carrying minerals into a kind of vault or warehouse of which are being distributed to the smithies and forges for their exploitation.

Northeast of the kingdom, the usual entry point to this, you will notice a huge group of wooden and rough stone houses and other buildings of very poor quality, a set of paths connecting them. Examining the pavement may notice this well-worn path, as if tens of beings would walkthrough those territories, a light fetid smell, but still acceptable to many, flooding the place. Murmurs of talking citizens among themselves are mixed with steps and discussions, the cobblestone pavement produces a well-known noise at the time of collision between them, known to every one who been in a city beyond.

But north of the slums lies a very particular route, which passes continuously carts full of minerals and others completely empty, most of the carts are pulled by creatures of every kind, whether rodents or horses, others are run by beasts of burden and directed by their riders, always carrying a steady pace with pulling carts men, these lightly dressed or rags denoting poverty. Some who are still in the mines, the destination of these empty carts, are sitting and eating on the firm ground of rocks and soil, while others perform, with picks and shovels, excavations to get all kinds of precious or useful minerals. To the distance, but even in that territory, you can see a sort of entry into a sort of cave or tunnel which carts full of the precious minerals leaves, destined to the district of workers.

South of the slums can be seen an open space surrounded by a very green landscape, full of different kinds of plants and trees, a place of recreation, where usually you can see families enjoying time outdoors, away from concerns. This place is often used by wealthy beings that inhabit the kingdom, a feast for the eyes and senses of everyone who decides to relax in this area, which is venue of many celebrations and festivities. The animals rest or quiet play with other animals or with their masters, children are entertained with friends or family while others engage in conversations or relationships with others. An atmosphere of total calm and harmony floats in the place, as a haven away from the rest.

Southeast of the square are the doors to an area surrounded by trees so large they block the sunlight, a dangerous path for anyone who does not have at least basic survival skills, but whose destination leads to an ancient and mysterious territory, a temple of peace and spirituality, a place where practitioners of all types of magic can be used to, both meditate and to increase their knowledge, power or wisdom. The way through this forest is full of wildlife, both natural and those with certain extra-natural abilities, which only the skilled can escape.

The last region is the one being held in the south western corner of the kingdom, but one of the best economic and protected of all, because it is the territory of residence of the most powerful and wealthy families in the kingdom, the nobility and royalty. This territory is marked by the imposing castle of the last member of the royal family, and the huge buildings of various landowners and people of high rank. Men and women of the nobility display their wealth as they walk through these thin pavements. The songs of exotic birds adorn an elegant landscape, like a golden empire.

The whole kingdom is surrounded by a vast rural area. Farms belonging to landowners and others, who work the soil very hard, being thus, one of the very powerful pillars that support the livelihood of the whole kingdom, protected both by imperial guards as mercenaries. A mixture of peace and work around the outsides of the kingdom, and an atmosphere of a very simple life cover all that space. Crops flourish and hard work bring prosperity for all workers in these places.

A soothing wind of hope is felt in all corners of the kingdom, whose place is simply another territory of 'The Forgotten' empire, a huge empire both powerful and wonderful, of which the Emperor is very proud to have forged for centuries.
