Lorwick

Located on a separate landmass, bordered by two other nations and the ethnic groups are rather similar to those of Celts and Nords.   Birthplace of the protagonist, yet they despise it more than anything due to the absolute ignorance of the people inhabiting the area. Petty thievery is not uncommon, neither is murder, slavery or other punishable crimes. Every man lives on his own, grows his own food, markets are only in stock during the seasons when the nation flourishes. Almost every person you meet may be a guaranteed addict, as a cause of the unsupervised growth of a local drug.   Supernatural activities are common throughout the land, acting as a source of folklore, legends, and myths. Religion is only practised by a few immigrants from other countries, resulting in the birth of many new converts, but this is done secretly as preaching is discouraged and may even result in death as the locals do not like their freedom snatched from them. Religious inactivity causes a lot of deaths annually from people wandering off into paranormal territories.   A degenerate form of magic is practised here, through captivating supernatural entities, mainly by gipsies and charmers. One with a strong willpower can only control the wraiths to their advantage.   The first sign of a legendary prophecy was spotted here, thus beginning the protagonist's journey.
