Bommbergonia
Oi, you got a permit for that permit?
The region of Bommbergonia comprises the entire north-west shoreline of the Great Inner Sea Region, from the eastern shore of The Serpent's Tongue in the north to the northern border of Oenotria in the south. Its western border runs up into the untamed foothills of The Spine, where the remnants of the orcish tribes which once overran Bommbergonia still reside.
Geography and Climate
Bommbergonia has a generally temperate climate, getting a bit warmer as one moves further south. The geography varies widely, from the forests in the west to highland moors, low lying marshland, and the foothills leading up into The Spine.
The Fens
Stretching from the center of northern Bommbergonia to the edge of the foothills of the spine to the east, this area is considered to be the breadbasket of Bommbergonia. Once seen as useless marshlands, an extensive program of dams and drainage channels have allowed bommbergonian farmers to transform this area into some of the most fertile farmland on the continent.
The Moors
Just to the west of The Fens, the land rises up dramatically into The Moors, an upland area comprised of boggy areas broken up by hills with bare stone tops known by the locals as tors. The area is lightly settled, and known for it's high rainfall, high winds, and extreme fogs. Due to the low population and bizarre weather, there are many tales of hauntings, mysterious monsters, and other frightening phenomenon associated with The Moors.
Certaintree Forest
The western end of Bommbergonia is heavily forested with mild hills, and is known by the Dalphinians as Certaintree Forest. This area is rich with game, and some remnants of the tribes of monstrous humanoids which once overran the region can be found hiding within it's dense reaches. The Dalphinians value the thick stands of yew for bowcrafting, and despite it having been declared a royal game preserve, poaching is extremely common.
The Royal Coast
Running from the northern edge of the Oenotrian Peninsula to the fens in the north, The Royal Coast is composed of lowlands on the edge of the Pickett Sea, becoming more heavily forested as the land rises into the foothills of the spine. High in the hills, the remnants of the orcish tribes which once overran Bommbergonia still live, the rugged terrain and dense forests preventing the bommbergonians from wiping them out entirely.
Dalphin
Located on the inside of the largest bend in The Serpent's Tongue, this region moves from grassy lowlands in the south to dense forest in the northwest and hills running from the western edge all the way along the northern border. While the lowlands have been largely cleared and developed into fertile farmland well managed forested areas, but as one moves north and into the hills and dense forests, things get wilder. The closer one gets to Certaintree forest the more dangerous it gets, with the remnants of the tribes of monstrous humanoids who once overran the region making their home in the dense forests, safe from the armies of Bommbergonia and the clans of Dalphin.
Nations
The Kingdom of Bommbergonia
Arguably the largest and most powerful nation on the Great Inland Sea, The Kingdom of Bommbergonia dominates the region whose name it bears, holding the only other nation in the area as a protectorate. Bommbergonia controls the only natural entrance to the Great Inner Sea via the bommbergonian strait, granting them a great deal of political power when dealing with the other nations in the region. Bommbergonians, particularly members of the upper class, are well known for their loud patriotism and condescending attitude towards residents of "lesser" nations.
Dalphin
Positioned on the inside of the largest bend of The Serpent's Tongue, Dalphin occupies a strategically important position on the entrance to the The Great Inland Sea . This position has brought it attention, both wanted and unwanted, from some of the biggest powers of The Shattered Continent. Today, Dalphin is a protectorate of Bommbergonia, but fiercely maintain their independence in most matters.
