Vittania
The inner half of the island of Vittania is cool; dotted with lakes, rivers, and boreal forests, and separated by hilltop meadows and glistening peaks. Timber and stone are bountiful, and the native cervid and kenku have utilized the region's natural resources well, to build beautiful cities that blend with the natural landscape. The outer half, however, is home to the fearsome Shorn Wastes, a stark contrast to the serene beauty of the inner side.
Forest Towns
The local Vittanians have tried to preserve the beauty of their land where they can - including within their cities and settlements. Towns are typically constructed around natural features in any given area. Boulders, streams, groves, and hills all become architectural challenges to work around, rather than remove. Walking the streets of a city like Yorel leads a travler to wind underneath mighty pines, around rocky outcrops, and down narrow alleys as houses squish together in small clearings. Even the most populated cities in Vittania feel like remote villages compared to those in Balveda or Erenthill, all due to their seamless incorporation of nature.Natural Industry
FluffPast the Gate
As you head towards the outer side of the island, you'll begin to see a ridge of mighty mountains forming in the distance. To the locals, these mountains are known as The Crest, and the narrow break between them as The Gate. Beyond the Crest lies the Shorn Wastes, where few venture willingly and foolishly. Above the peaks, you can see the endless ash billowing from the earth, let loose by volcanic fissures and magma streams. The winds, thankfully, carry the smoke and ash further out towards the Silent Sea, protecting the Vittanians from choking on deadly air or drinking poisoned water. The town of Ashpoint lies just south of the Gate, the last stop before crossing into the Wastes.Notable Places:
