Ustaria
Geography
Ustaria is a very mountainous continent, with strange intricately laid out mountain rangers with the southern mountains connecting to the long dead Dwarven Holds. Some scholars believe that the Ishtar Empire used some form of arcane magic to make these mountain rangers, others say the gods made it this way.
To the Northwest lies the frozen plains of Rustil, home of the Rustilian ethnicity. due to how the powerful female ice liches channel the power of their goddess Melania, the land is almost in a permanent sate of snow and ice. Every other place in Ustaria has similar terrain, with great plains, scattered forests, and large mountain ranges. Vast riverways help connect the nation together, and the people use these rivers as the main form of travel. Ethnic groups besides the Rustil include the Bolsilva in the southwest, Trilvania to the midsouth, the Rasko of the northeast, and the Troncno to the southeast.
Localized Phenomena
Trilvania seems to have a phenomena of constant supernatural and monstrous activity on the same level as the deadlands. Some suspect it may be due to the large collection of vampires from Clan Balaur. Then due to the specific magic of the Ice Lich Rulers in Rustil, the lands of the Rustilians are constantly snowing and frozen over.
Natural Resources
Wood, minerals, ice related weaponry
Tourism
Few willingly travel to Ustaria unless on mercenary work, for it is said that the people are grim and the land even more bleak. While this isn't entirely true, it does lead to many to have a certain perception of Ustarians.
