Drake's Rest
The continent of Drake's Rest was devastated during the Soul Wars.What this place once was has been lost to the vagaries of uncertain history. But now, it holds scattered city-states, roving Orc hordes, industrious Dwarves, and a plethora of other folk who seek to earn their fortune or to just survive another day. Notable locations include Direwold; Forgehome; Eastwatch; Kingdom of Akrose; and the Blackspire.
Legend tells of a fierce battle between a Elven hero fighting for the freedom of her people, and crazed Dragon who sought limitless power. They fight resulted in mortal wounds for both the combatants and, as the Dragon felt it's life ebbing away, it came to crash into the mountains of Drake's Rest, sending up a great plume of dust and rock. Once the skies cleared, the mountains had changed. Now, they clearly formed the outline of a Dragon with wings outstretched. Of course, some naysayers will claim this is just a romantic story, pointing to erosion patterns, rock strata, and other such fanciful nonsense.
