Revalin
Revalin is the country of elves, magic and fey. The original elves of Revalin were the first non-natives to settle in Zintera. They were guided by the Vined Howl to come and settle on Zintera. They have been peaceful with the natives and have suffered the least from war in Zintera.
Geography
Revalin is a country with many mountains, forests and plains. The country has a rather continental climate, except when going further north in the Faded Peaks where it stays cold all year. The rest of the country has cold winters and mild summers.
Roaring Valley. The mountains of the Roaring Valley create a secluded valley where the Rane Isle lies. The mountains in the north are what make the south part of the Dilstrate Gorge. The valley is surrounded by an old pine forest. This forest has magical beast and monstrosities living in it. This is why the Rane Isle is the biggest place where arcane magic is practiced and studied.
Toross Side. An enchanted forest that has large population of fey creatures living in it. It is well respected by the people of Revalin, but rarely traveled since the fey can be tricksy, dangerous and unpredictable. Though, it is a source of potent magical components and the fey have promised to protect the country if Revalin is ever in danger.
Agis Wilds. The Agis Wilds are within an old oak forest. This area mostly has natural beasts, but the druids of the lands talk about the many spirits that roam the Agis Wilds. The grey mountains of this area also house stone giants. They mostly keep to themselves and the people of Revalin have learned not to bother them. Though they have caused conflicts before.
Faded Peaks. A very large pine forest with a long mountain range sprouting from the Dilstrate Gorge. A very cold area that just keeps getting colder, snowier and more frozen the further north you go. Especially along the coast there is little life to be found. It's a dangerous area with creatures that have adapted to these cold environments. The coast of the Faded Peaks is however the most fruitful place for fishing within Zintera.
Hundar. Though technically part of Revalin, it is rarely traveled. It is a strange forest of which the plants seem to have a mind of their own. The druids believe this to be a place filled with angry spirits. The creatures that live on this island are even more dangerous as they have adapted to this hostile island.
Magic
Revalin is the most magical nation from Zintera. They use druidic, holy and arcane magic. Although, Revalin is the most arcane focused country in Zintera. They study the arcane, make arcane objects and even trade arcane knowledge for goods with other countries.
Druidic. The ancient elves of Revalin were taught druidic magic by the Kavarhi people and have been perfecting it ever since. It fit their strong devotion to the Vined Howl and has influenced their believes about their lands a lot.
Holy. Though the people of Revalin might have a strong connection to their gods, they don't want to lean on their gods for power. They want to be guided by their gods, not empowered by them.
Arcane. The arcane arts are heavily studied on the Rane Isle. Revalin has been studying arcane glyphs, giant runes, magical beasts and much more ever since the elves arrived on Zintera.
Demography and Population
The social division of Revalin isn't very big. The poor are usually just farmers who are getting by pretty well and the rich have to pay heavy taxes to the state. Although the cities know more of true poverty.
