Aleris

The Continent of Aleris is the furthest east land mass in the world of Talgrin. It is a remarkably self sufficient and as such the amount contact citizens of Aleris have with people from the rest of the world is rare.With the exception of a few independent territories, the land is mainly divided into four kingdoms.   Fellwind in the South. Lustra in the east. Kirkwood in the North. And Sona in the west. Many things Divide the kingdoms, and many things unite them. Only one thing unites them. Fear. Each Kingdom carries its own glories and its own failures. To Each their own struggles for power, dominance and survival. Yet one thing, one fear has burrowed deep into the heart of each and every citizen of the four kingdoms. From the filthy beggars in the alleys of Chimerest to the Scholars of Kirkwood's school of Animo to the rich and extravagant merchant council of Sona.   They are all afraid of him. They don't know where he came from, or why he remains.. all they know is he is older than them. That his White Legions of Undead come on the solstices and take the dead and the living damned who each kingdom offer. An effective means of appeasement.   At this point the people of Aleris simply consider the blight of undeath as another unpleasant fact of life.
