The Palathrian Coastline is the area held and explored by the Palathrian Republic. For the most part, it is virgin jungle. Half a century of exploration has done little to fundamentally change the landscape of this tropical, hostile region of the New World. Dotted by a few villages and forts, this new land invites eager adventurers and explorers, hungry for power, knowledge, and wealth. The region is criss-crossed by massive rivers which at their widest might measure a mile and a half across. These rivers flow eastwards to the sea from the western mountains. These mountaisn are the source of the wealth of the Republic; ardglass, a glowing crystal famed for its magical properties.
