Capitalla
As the world has changed, Capitalla remains much the same. It is easy for us to imagine ourselves above it all, safe up here on our pillar above the waves. It is a comforting illusion, but its comfort does not make it true.
Named for Talla of Smouge, when Tige the Uniter needed a seat of rule, he determined that the center would be most convenient. The island’s particular geography lent ease to King Darian’s decision to divide the nation betwen his newborn twins during the Division.
Geography
The northern edge of the island is the Axehead Mountain Range, an ancient chain of extinct volcanoes renowned for their obsidian and Goldstone.
Several springs within the heart of these mountains weave together to form the glittering, rushing waters of the mighty Division River, which cuts the island in almost perfect half as it flows south.
The southern edge of the island’s bedrock sits a mere five feet above the water, a fact that is disguised as a soft slope into the sea by the glittering goldstone runoff that forms the Shimmering Sands that give the region its name.
