Zephyr

In the expansive realm of Zephyr, where the cold winds from the Coldglass Sea to the north mix with the soot from the Smokespear Sea to the east, the island breathes with a choked grasp. The inhabitants live under overcast skies, yearning for the sea to escape the grey of their homeland. Known for jagged landscapes and brisk, cold winds, Zephyr is home to the Cloudburst Coven. This sisterhood of wind mages harnesses the power of the ever-present breeze, navigating the seas and speeding up their ships.   Nestled along the eastern coast, the port city of Ivmagir serves as a hub for Zephyr's trade and the source of its maritime prowess. The Zephyrn fleet, with sleek ships adorned with azure sails, dances upon the waves, embodying the island's efficiency and reputation.   Zephyr, an island province located in the eastern reaches of the Pacura, boasts a long and storied history marked by periods of peace and prosperity as well as times of conflict and strife. Renowned for its strong naval tradition and reliance on the sea for trade and commerce, Zephyr is known for skilled sailors and a powerful fleet of warships. Ruled by the Stormblood chosen from noble families, Zephyr has seen various Stormbloods shaping its history, from the bold Borigan to the cunning Cynthia.   A place of rugged beauty, Zephyr exhibits mountains rising like jagged teeth along its spine. These mountains shape the landscape, with a river flowing through a gap in the center, providing a vital lifeline for fresh water and quick travel. The journey along the river, guided by currents, is not without dangers, as sudden and violent storms can capsize even the most seaworthy vessels.   Zephyr's history is marked by conflicts and political intrigue, starting with the Charter's signing, aiming to ease tensions between Pacura's islands. The Great Mutiny (First Pacuran Civil War) erupted just a year later, tearing the islands apart. Thresh's suicide brought an end to the conflict. However, Zephyr faced the Pacuran Uprising (Second Pacuran Civil War), sparked by Diggory's murder by Thormund. The Battle of the Rising Tempest and Keldrith's reawakening further shaped the island's fate. As Cynthia struggles to maintain control, the people navigate a changing and dangerous world.   The island features various landscapes, from the bustling port city of Ivmagir to the rugged mountains and the Slipstream Crags with Keldrith's Rest. The people, proud and resilient, are accustomed to unpredictable weather and rough terrain, fiercely proud of their island and its rich history.   Zephyr hosts diverse wildlife, from ferocious predators in the mountains to gentle creatures in forests and fields. Large populations of deer and rabbits are hunted for meat, and the waters teem with fish. The island is also home to various birds, including seagulls, ravens, and eagles. The true star is the majestic dragon, Keldrith, residing in caverns beneath the Slipstream Crags.   Flora on Zephyr is varied, with different types of trees and plants found throughout. Ancient oak trees dominate the forests, and fields boast wildflowers and tall grasses. Saltwater marshes along the coast feature reeds and rushes. Fruit trees, including apples, pears, and cherries, thrive. In colder months, the island transforms into a snowy wonderland.   Zephyr's political landscape is complex, with factions like the Cloudburst Coven, merchant guilds, and noble houses vying for influence. The Stormblood and their council hold decision-making power, navigating a web of alliances and power struggles.   The weather on Zephyr is varied and unpredictable, with strong winds and storms from the ocean. The eastern coast experiences cool, misty weather, while the western side is more temperate. The northern mountains have colder temperatures and snowfall in winter. The island is prone to hurricanes and typhoons, challenging coastal towns and villages.
