Kraelyn

Kraelyn is the continent on which most of the events of Maiden Voyage take place. It is a decently sized singular continent with a smattering of islands to the southeast known as "The Knives".

History
Nearly 500 years before the beginning of Maiden Voyage, The Great War, in which the humans seized a large swath of land from the elves, fractured the (relatively) peaceful coexistence of the major races.


 * Elves and dwarves have always harbored disdain for each other, and when the humans began the war, the Dwarves refused to help their fae neighbors
 * Some dwarves even made weapons for the human forces
 * The Human King, Gladien, made a pact with an unnamed dark sorcerer, who opened the gates of the dark world and summoned dark forces to help take control of the land. Creatures imbued with dark magic will continue to spill out into the world.

Fayene
Elven capital city, sometimes called Silverlake in common.

Stonesea
A decently-sized port city that predominantly trades with The Knives and surrounding islands. It's walls are tall and full of mossy fossils and stones, from years of sea spray misting the surface.

Brannyl
A dwarven mountain city situated in the northern-most part of Kraelyn deep within the Sea of Trees. The city is surrounded on all sides by mountainous terrain with few access points into or out of the city, it's population is around 15k.

Dreamer's Grove
A druidic village made up of around 800 or so inhabitants, all of whom live a druidic lifestyle in spite of having an amalgamation of races present. It is incredibly distanced from that of the rest of the world, and many race conflicts going on elsewhere have not impacted this smaller community. In fact, some of its inhabitants may have become part of the village after struggling with racial strife elsewhere. Lack of racial concerns and a sense of community stem from the common druidic class which is inherently neutral in nature, choosing to focus instead upon the balance and power of the natural world.

This village in particular has a great understanding of the Circle of Dreams and many aspire to become Dream Walkers. Several elders are part of this circle and will often take on a few apprentices to pass down knowledge of the circle.

Aquara
Situated on the island closest to the coast of Stonesea, Aquara is a vertically built naval city. It's a trade hub for The Knives with several ports, and is built to vaguely resemble a ship with areas known as The Upper Decks, Center Decks, and Lower Decks. It is home to many undesirables who find it's ample ports perfect for importing and exporting wares and conducting illegal trade.

Hell's Portal
A large, active volcano situated on the largest and furthest island within The Knives. It is said that a powerful Elven King, known as "The Gilded Sorcerer" was thrown into the volcano.
