They have a dock set up for ships to come get their wares but no ships of their own so they rely on the Ancean navy to get shipments delivered and the ETC (East Tempurian Company) as well for shipments. The central lands and western lands south of the mountains have rich soil which settlers have broken up and grow all sorts of fruits and vegetables. Some ambitious farmers have climbed the side of the mountain to plant grapes there for making wine. The settlers hunt for meat and count on the ETC to supply them with salt which they get from the Garason in Tempus. The settlers trade the crops that they grow for wood for their houses and for salt and spices that the ETC grow to the east side of Gasaron. The ETC then takes those crops and trades them for goods not in the region like sugar that has to be grown in Keshlam and rice that is grown in the Ancean Isles. The ETC trade some of their spices, mainly cayenne pepper, which the Ifrit love for Gisphar crystals to trade with some of the farmers for light during the summer nights.<br /> <br /> ==East Tempurian Company==<br /> This trading company deals in spices, food, and wood. They travel to anywhere they can dock and trade and do not get involved in politics. They do not tell anyone who they traded what for what and so this keeps them from being discriminated against. They have many workers in the fields of gasaron on the easterly side and they keep them well paid and well stocked with food. They are on very good terms with the Ancean navy even coming to their aid in the past when an iceberg tore into one of their ships and sank it. The ETC turned their vessel around from it's destination and carried the crew of the Ancean ship back to their home island then traded some of the wood the had aboard to aid in making a new ship for some rice. Which they then traded to the ALC (Argean Lumber Company) for more wood to take to Nivalis since their shipment was late they only got half the pay but it was twice the worth to be on the good side of the Ancean Navy which when needed will use one or two of their ships down there at the East Tempurian company docks to carry large loads to places that need it.<br /> <br /> ==Argean Lumber Company==<br /> This lumber company is all about conservation for every tree they cut down they plant two fast growing trees in their place they have about 6 nature mages working with them at all times as to not interrupt habitats of birds and squirrels. Each tree that can be cut is marked by the nature mages and two more trees take its place the nature mages keep everything well watered and fertilized so that the forest never gets any smaller it is just preserved and provides an endless source of material to build with. The nature mages have captured some mouboos to work with the lumber company. The mouboos are treated very well and get many treats for the work that they do dragging large logs and working the treadmill for the saw. Having no ships of their own they rely on the Ancean navy and the East tempurian company to do the shipping. They do not cut trees without an order so the forest has time to replenish itself and the wood doesn't sit and rot.<br /> <br /> ==barley and grains==<br /> Near the fast flowing rivers in the south mills have been set up to grind wheat and flour. As well as anything else that needs milled.Then it is sold by the pound to the East Tempurian company to be spread throughout the world. The farmers in this region are very well spread out so it can take a day or two to walk to the neighbors. <br /> <br /> ==Animal life==<br /> The plains also harbor much animal life. There are coyotes that hunt the area and there are rumor of big cats hunting mouboo herds but noone has managed to kill one yet to prove they exist. There is also much other plains life that can kill a man and there is also many animals that can be domesticated to help with work on the farms and to grow for meat as long as they are fenced in. Which keeping the fences up is a full time job.<br /> <br /> ==Tonori Savannahman==<br /> To the upper northeast of gasaron is the plains people. They are a peaceful folk that live off the land. Alahna evergreen is their leader as they are led by their medicinewoman. She is always in need of spell components and will teach how to cure poison if you ask the right question. They are friendly with Pachua's tribe as well.<br /> <br /> ==The Earthquake==<br /> The earthquake had a funny effect on the gasaron wilderness it didn't shake much except for the mountains in the west. They still shake to this day and the shaking over the last 100 years has gotten a little worse.Teams gathered from the East Tempurian Company and the Argean Lumber company went into the caves in the mountains but they never returned. Currently they are looking for sturdy adventurers to go into the caves and see what is causing the shaking. They are offering alot of pay for the trouble if they make it out with an answer to the shaking or if they can stop the shaking the pay is double. The bounty is currently at 100,000 gp and 200,000 gp respectively.</div>

<p>Cinderweb: added kazenawa</p> <hr /> <div>==Family histories==<br /> <br /> ==Ozthokk==<br /> Ozthokk is not my name given to me at birth, but its the name given to me by a curse. although human in appearance, my soul is as cold as the distant north. I take only this shape to try and fit in with those whom dwell this world, but often find i am still an outsider. My past is but a distant thought, as my memory of it is very vague. the things i do remember, is that of a lovely young women. sitting at my bed side, she seems to be crying as she sings me a song of a beautiful summers day. I do not know if this women is my wife, sister or mother, all i know is that i felt safe, but soon that safety turned to ice and i found myself as an adult in the distant north, by myself and lost in mind not knowing who i was and where i came from, but soon i saw a figure, my vision was blurred, so i was and still am unsure what i saw, but i heard a females voice say the name Ozthokk. soon my vision became clear and i came to find that my flesh was as blue as the ice that surrounded me and i was not cold. for long after that day, i wondered this world trying to find who i once was. I may never know.<br /> written by Ozthokk<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Frubillie==<br /> I, Frubillie am the second generation of miners. When I was young I would watch my father work the mines. He loved the mines. All the miners seemed to love their job. You could see it in their faces. It was a great life for me and them. As I got older my father and some of the other miners would teach me how to mine. I only visited the city a few times as a child. It was a very rare occassion for me to visit the city. When I was about 5 or 6 years old I decided that I would never live in such a place. Don't get me wrong it was a nice place just not a place for me. I learned many skills from the miners yet I yearned to learn as many skills as I could from all over the world. I dreamed of traveling. I knew one day I would settle in just like my parents had but till then I needed to spread my wings. One of the times we did visit the city my father had bought me some nice fine armor and a great sword. These where not of course the best there was but it was the best for me at the time. While in the city buying these things we also met a man named Luka who taught me the skill of Brawling.As it seems that you may not always have a sword or bow you will always have a fist. Closed to my home town was this lady ( miriam) Who I had heard was a great teacher of speed. This was to be my first stop on my exploration. I found (Miriam) deep in the snake caves. It seems if you don't know these caves well you will never make it out alive. Lucky for me I managed to find my way. It was slow moveing with all these mountain snakes all around. I did finally meet this (Miriam) and after doing a few things,like running to find the indian man on the otherside of the mountain, I was taught the skill of speed. <br /> written by Frubillie.<br /> <br /> ==Straelyn==<br /> My name is Straelyn, and I was raised in a tribe of nomads in the snake desert. I remember my mother's Snake Tongue stew. She had a knack for taking the worst of things and somehow make them great. My father always said, that the only honor left was to be found in the deserts and far off hills. He felt that the city was full of deceivers who had lost their ways.<br /> I used to sneak off sometimes on my own, out of curiosity. I would explore, and watch people. I remember one time seeing a green slime devour some poor soul, lost and tired, who had strayed too far from town. I watched in horror, but wasn't strong enough yet to be of any help. I knew there was nothing I could do, but I think a part of me died with him. I felt shamed.<br /> With the great quake, my family and I became separated. I trained on my own as best I could. I remembered what my father said about city people, but if it weren't for them, I would've perished. For that, the people of Tulimshar will always hold a place in my heart. The green slimes and snakes seemed so much worst after the quake, though..<br /> Some while later, I came across a tribe of warriors around Nivalis, not unlike my own. They initiated me as a member of their tribe and taught me how to be a Rager. My father used to always tell me, &quot;head of the dragon, son, remember&quot;, when we were out hunting snakes. As I learned to focus my rage, I began to understand what he meant. How does one fight dragons?<br /> <br /> ==Axzell Bettlehorn==<br /> My name Axzell, you may know, but my past and who i once was, you don't, until now. I held this sad tale locked deep with in my thoughts for many years, but now the time has come for me to tell you. i was born 128 years ago, that is human years by the way. Dwarven years, i am in my 30's. Anyways, I wasn't born to a wealthy family, but a family of skilled Miners and Smithies, who lived in a distant land, that is now lost in time, do to wars and natural disasters. Now one of these, so called natural disasters, that my people knew was caused by that of a vengeful god angered by our kings greed, destroyed our lands greatly and forced all who survived, to leave the homelands and spread out across the world. Eventually, my family was able to settle down and became humble farmers, raising live stock and growing crops. We were very successful at it and were able to recapture the lives we once had, until, my mother died.............Now, this is the darkest part of my life, a part that i am sorry to say, i can not tell. The memories of it are too painful and it brings out the darkness of my heart........................anyways, i was able to move past those terrible events of my mothers death by leaving home and traveling the world. Eventually i was able to find a place to call home and find a peaceful life. Now, you may be curious, as to where the other Dwarves have gone to and why i in no way look like one my self. Well my friends, that is just a non Dwarven perspective. my people have adapted to fit in very well to the surrounding world. That we now seem as just shorter stocky humans and although there are few of us, we are still here. Well, that's my past in a nut shell for ya. As for my future, who knows, I'm still young, anything cam happen.<br /> <br /> ==Avenn==<br /> My name is Avenn, when i was 10 years old my village was attacked by bandits, slavers or whatever they was. My familly was killed, villagers slaughtered, noone left besides me and my friend Bob. We left all behind wearing scars in soul and we set out into the world. Life wasnt nice and easy as we thought, we need clothes , food, place to sleep, so we started work in every village we visit. Bob tryed once settle in one of them, but without luck.When i almost lost hope for better life, we met squad of mercenaries (i was 12 years old), i remember that day very well, that day changed everything. We joined them, we start learning, we start fighting , we start become predators... our character changed too, our jobs as mercenaries is a story for another day ,but thruth i dont remember my age Bob is dead , mercenaries are slaughtered, and i am mage... circle of fate ? no... way to become powerful. Someday i tell the rest.<br /> <br /> ==Lord Vlad==<br /> <br /> My nobility title is of course legitimate, I will slay anyone that dares doubt about it, I'm the son of an old crazy man, claiming he is the king of a little-no-man land of Kaisei, living alone in an empty manor. Maybe it's past now, I haven't seen him for years, he is probably dead. But as I said, this title seems legitimate, the old man often said that I was the last of a long dynasty who ever lived there. I'm the lord ruling an unknown land, without proofs and nobody asking for them.<br /> I was raised by a women, she was probably my mother, nobody ever told me, and when she died, I just left what I thought was my home. I travelled, I had to fight with my bare hands and I finally reached Nivalis. From there I joined the crew of an East Tempurian Company boat and learned to trade what I had to gain more and more money. I spent years like this. I was too smart, I got too rich maybe, someone in the boat stole everything I had and, as he was trying to kill me, threw me into the sea.<br /> Then I woke up with nothing in the Tulimshar surbubs and became an archer, and then I tried to be a mage, to be able to save people form the death I was so close of.<br /> <br /> ==Kazenawa==<br /> <br /> Kazenawa was created from an oscillating movement in the outer TMW's space. This vibration had the chance to be amplified and not to die like most of them.<br /> Slowly travelling through vacuum, he was looking for a convenient place to rest. Passing over a first planet, he saw living forms but they were surrounded by an evil aura. Actually, all this giant rock had a demonic atmosphere...<br /> Although becoming to disappear, he decided to continue his trip to find another better world, desperately. Then, he found another piece of rock. This planet didn't look like the previous one. He was able to see the presence of nature, and of peaceful living forms. Spreading in it, he discovered so called &quot;Manawordians&quot; but wasn't able to communicate with them... But he wanted to know more of their history !<br /> Moreover, patiently looking for a way to transform, he was attired by a magical string higher in the air. Approaching this vibrating string floating in the high sky wind, he was more and more attracted by it ! The interference of them leaded to a manaworldian-looking living form, able to talk and to do everything like the others manaworldians.<br /> However, spreading among manaworldians showed him the importance of fighting. In fact, this world is also infested with demonic aura ! They currently contain it, but for how long ? That's why, seeing that no world is perfect, he decided to join them in their fight, his fighting style reminding of his previous nature...</div>

When [[Shear|sheared]] they drop [[cotton cloth]].<br /> <br /> The horned [[Reinboo|Reinboo]], found in [[Nivalis|Nivalis]], is a closely related species of the Mouboo family.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Items==<br /> ===Drops===<br /> When mouboos tragically perish, they sometimes drop items:&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[Cotton Cloth]] (10%)&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[Bottle of Water]] (7.5%)&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[Cotton Cloth]] (5%)&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[Reed Bundle]] (5%)&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[Cotton Cloth]] (0.5%)&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Artifacts===<br /> In-game items resembling mouboos:&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[Plush Mouboo]] &lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[Mouboo Figurine]]&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [[Mouboo Head]]&lt;br \&gt;<br /> [[Moubootaur Head]]&lt;br \&gt;<br /> During the easter 2012 period, [[Chocolate Mouboo|chocolate Mouboos]] could pe found in [[Tulimshar]]'s Bakery.<br /> <br /> ==Locations==<br /> Mouboos live mostly in the north-eastern part of the [[Argaes]] continent. A smaller population still exists in [[Kaizei]], near the [[Nivalis]] village. Like their [[Reinboo]] cousins they appreciate open areas where their obvious taste for running can express. Swamp humidity as well as excessive heat doesnt fit their fragile skin. They like the shade of trees and the hills fresh air as well. In the opposite they can show a good resistance to frost (we mean here cold, not admin.)<br /> {| align=&quot;right&quot; style=&quot;width:220px&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | [[File:SkippingMouboos.png|thumb|200px|Skipping Mouboos]]<br /> |-<br /> | [[File:Nivaliboos.png|thumb|200px|Mouboo and Reinboo in Nivalis]]<br /> |-<br /> |[[File:StuckMouboo.png|thumb|200px|Mouboo stuck in cave entrance]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Quests==<br /> In the [[Magic_Quests#Injured_Mouboo|Injured Mouboo]] quest, players meet one of the more widely known mouboos currently in the game.<br /> <br /> The (now unavailable) [[Moubootaur event]] featured a mouboo-like character. <br /> <br /> ==Behaviour==<br /> Mouboos are, without exception, non [[Aggro|agressive]] by nature, meaning they will not attack unless provoked. Their friendly nature has been observed by many moubooologists, most famously by [[Sagatha]], and is a defining trait of the species. When attacked, they will defend themselves by biting the assailant. Mouboos are herbivores, and for the most part they roam grassy areas. Their main activities consist of grazing, skipping around, and periodically pausing to catch their breath. On rare occasions, they may mysteriously appear in unlikely places, even inside buildings.<br /> <br /> ==History, Mythologies and Legends==<br /> Mouboos have intrigued various cultures, both ancient and modern, and are often featured in stories, legends, paintings, and poems. They had a special importance in old Tritan culture as the stone fragments from that period that were discovered on tritan ruins sites show it. Also many Sages of mana think that the word &quot;mouboo&quot; it self comnes from old Tritan language. Unfortunately, the documents about mouboos are actually unavailable after the disaster that occured in the [[Blue Sage Quest|Blue Sage]]'s Library. So this wiki may stay incomplete until the missing pages have been found.<br /> <br /> ===Church of the Pink Mouboo=== <br /> [[The Church of the Pink Mouboo]] was a more or less organised religion based on beliefs about a mouboo. The core of the faith was summarised in the following creed:&lt;br \&gt;<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;''&quot;First, there was nothing. Then there was the Pink Mouboo. And it was good. The Pink Mouboo then creates the MANA World and all inhibitants. But then, it disapears, and can't now be seen by the inhibitors no more. But it sended some signs of its presence - so many pink things are found in all of the MANA.

If they are caught to close to the city they are enslaved and the monarchy has been known to send out hunting parties for more slaves. It is because of this that the Garason have become experts at hiding and moving about silently. Some Garason have defied the monarchy building strong forts to defend themselves along the beaches on the west side of the mountains. These Garason fish for their food and salt the fish from the mountains many salt mines.<br /> <br /> ==Keshlam==<br /> Keshlam is a walled city built of stone at the edge of the ocean. They mainly trade with Tulimshar since the Ancean navy moved in to protect trade routes and their ships have been known to pillage and plunder those peaceful trade ships taking both cargo and people to be used as slaves in the salt mines. Keshlams navy only consists of 8 large ships and for now they are docked at the cities docks on the ocean side. The second wall within the city is 15 ft tall and barbed at the top to protect the castle. There is a plaza out front the slaves call ending because the large number of torture devices that sit there to be used at the king and queens behest. Slaves that cannot do their work or citizens that become unruly are often disembowled for entertainment or racked depending on how the king and queen feel that day.<br /> <br /> ==Recent history==<br /> Before the Quake, the Tempurians were normal people neither good nor bad, they were just traders and mined salt in small amount from their montains. The East Tempurian Company was created during this period. But after the catastrophe, nothing remained of the mines they dug into the mountain, and a very few miners survived. In the other hand, it destroyed their food reserves and as the price of the food normally increased, they didn't have enough money to buy enough from to Hurnscald or Nivalis. The king then had no choice but force some of their poorest citizens to work in the mine. As it wasn't enough they also captured some people from the tribes living around Keshlam to work with them, only the Garason tribe managed to avoid being caught. They also started to pillage some cargos from other lands to get what they needed.<br /> Normally, the forced miners had to work until the crisis was over. At the beginning, they even got more food than those who were not working in the mines as for example guards, traders, sailors, etc. But as the second king of this age had started to think of this situation as normal, he took some measures to make sure the forced workers, which began to be called slaves, could never escape, as the creation of an army, and to make them reproduce more to be sure that there would be enough of them in the future. His son, the current king of this land, managed to be even worst, trying by all means to be more powerful and to increase his territory.<br /> <br /> ==The Army==<br /> Keshlams army is 2000 men strong because every male the age of 16 and up is pressed into service first as a soldier then as a mine keeper as the slaves call them. If they do some extraordinary deeds toward the end of their life they get to be an executioner. The army has yet to break the defenses the nomads have put up on the other side of the mountains and each press into that side depletes the armies numbers more. Much to the king and queens dislike. The female slaves that they have found go to the dukes and lords to make the armies larger and steadily they keep it at 2000 strong sometimes a bit more. Any females that these female slaves have are kept for future breeding purposes.<br /> <br /> ==Chief Export==<br /> The chief export from Keshlam is salt mined from the mountains on the western part of the land they claim. Their other chief export is sugar from the sugar cane fields that the slaves have made.<br /> <br /> ==The Garason==<br /> These people are hardy and strong they have made their own mines and fishing villages between their walled outpost and send trade supplies at night secretly to trade with Tulimshar.</div>

Being a mage it shouldn't have worked on me.<br /> &lt;br/&gt;<br /> &lt;br/&gt;<br /> &lt;i&gt;But it did and I remember nothing more.&lt;/i&gt;<br /> &lt;br/&gt;<br /> &lt;br/&gt;<br /> I awoke in a room, rectangular in shape. I must have been out of it for a while as I was quite hungry and thirsty. Looking closer at the room I noticed some pillars and a lever. The pillars in this room radiated with a magical light, making me think that pulling the lever on the floor would be a bad idea. There is a single door leaving this room. Being rather worried about this strange turn of events I casted a protection spell on myself before continuing.<br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;<br /> I walked out the door and immediately regretted it. Snakes everywhere. I cannot stand snakes, all slimy and slithery. Terrified, I made my way North and came to a bedroom, which is a rather odd thing to have in a cave full of snakes. A beautiful Top Hat was sitting on a dresser but I was unable to touch it. If I ever find the man that made that hat I'm sure he'd probably want it back. I noticed the snakes were slithering in and under the bed, so worked on getting out of there.<br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;<br /> I barely made it out of the cave. The venom nearly got me. Once I made it out though there was a local who helped me with some Roasted Maggots and water. I stayed the night in this ungodly dessert, waking every once in a while to throw a lightning bolt down on the snakes that got close.<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Day2-in-the-desert.png<br /> File:Day2theroadifound.png<br /> File:Day2inthedesertcave.png<br /> File:Day2miriam.png<br /> File:Day2withpachua.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == Starsavek Cinderwebs Journal Day 2 ==<br /> <br /> I awoke from the desert heat with a headache. I needed to find my way home, wherever that may be. I got up to thank my companion and walked off Southward. There I found what looked like a road running West with a little girl standing in front of a cave. First I went West but my passage was blocked by a magical wall. Giving up on that I figured I'd go through the cave to climb the mountain. Maybe I could see the surrounding area from the top and figure out where I was. In that maze of caves there was a spot where it forked once and I took the south route.<br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;<br /> When I got to the top I found a rather rude woman obsessed with speed and meditation. She was rather rude so I said goodbye to her and headed back to the fork in the cave, and took the Northeast exit. This led me rather high up, away from those forsaken snakes. Just some weak scorpions instead. There was a red skinned gentlemen smoking a pipe. So I sat down by him and inquired about him. He said he was someone who worked with leather and is at peace in this spot. I agreed it that it was a nice spot. After climbing up that mountain twice I was exausted, so I slept there as night moved in.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:1day3.png<br /> File:2day3.png<br /> File:3day3.png<br /> File:4day3.png<br /> File:5day3.png<br /> File:6day3.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == Starsavek Cinderwebs Journal Day 3 ==<br /> <br /> I awoke wondering for a moment where I was,then I remembered. I was stuck.I looked from the mountaintop toward Gispaa. The road was blocked by lava flows and behind that actually digging their way through were Trobbles. A small army of them. From what I've read they are vicious creatures but what was with the lava and the fires down toward Gispaa and the lava blocking roads. What was with the Trobbles out plundering. All these questions were making my head spin so I was going to go ahead and go Northwest toward what looked to be Tulimshar at least from here it looks normal. <br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;<br /> Tulimshar has a wizards council so maybe they can tell me what is going on. I headed down the mountain dodgeing some snakes and killing those I could not. I went over and took a look at the road back to Gispaa and figured it would be nearly a month or two for the orcs to dig their way through. I followed the desert along its southern wall and then it curved north where I could see a gaurded road. The guard would only say that he was there to watch for monsters coming through from the West. I immedialy looked south to see if the road had changed but to my surprise it hadn't. But there was something up there that did look promising a house.So I followed the cliff face Eastward till it ran into a mine. The guard outside said he was just guarding the miners.<br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;<br /> The miners were busy and asked for a hand so I helped them bring up some rock for the rebuilding effort. I asked them about that and they would only say the big earthquake. Well after my work was done I sat down to a nice roasted chicken leg and a mug of beer thinking about the earthquake there sure wasn't one before I was knocked out. Still wondering how long I was out for I asked one of the miners the way out to the house. He happily showed me and went back to his work. I carefully walked over to the house as dark was coming on and yelled out so they knew I was coming. When I got to the door there was a mage and dressed in black robes like myself. I inquired about him living outside of town and he said the spell he was using was dangerous to people so the council of wizards in Tulimshar forbade him from using it in city limits. He just shrugged he said the spell he was charging people for was a transmutation spell that allowed you to transmute your abilities. Being a wizard myself I inquired about the spell and he says it won't last much longer the moons are just coming out of alignment.</div>

<p>Cinderweb: </p> <hr /> <div>==Family histories==<br /> <br /> ==Ozthokk==<br /> Ozthokk is not my name given to me at birth, but its the name given to me by a curse. although human in appearance, my soul is as cold as the distant north. I take only this shape to try and fit in with those whom dwell this world, but often find i am still an outsider. My past is but a distant thought, as my memory of it is very vague. the things i do remember, is that of a lovely young women. sitting at my bed side, she seems to be crying as she sings me a song of a beautiful summers day. I do not know if this women is my wife, sister or mother, all i know is that i felt safe, but soon that safety turned to ice and i found myself as an adult in the distant north, by myself and lost in mind not knowing who i was and where i came from, but soon i saw a figure, my vision was blurred, so i was and still am unsure what i saw, but i heard a females voice say the name Ozthokk. soon my vision became clear and i came to find that my flesh was as blue as the ice that surrounded me and i was not cold. for long after that day, i wondered this world trying to find who i once was. I may never know.<br /> written by Ozthokk<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Frubillie==<br /> I, Frubillie am the second generation of miners. When I was young I would watch my father work the mines. He loved the mines. All the miners seemed to love their job. You could see it in their faces. It was a great life for me and them. As I got older my father and some of the other miners would teach me how to mine. I only visited the city a few times as a child. It was a very rare occassion for me to visit the city. When I was about 5 or 6 years old I decided that I would never live in such a place. Don't get me wrong it was a nice place just not a place for me. I learned many skills from the miners yet I yearned to learn as many skills as I could from all over the world. I dreamed of traveling. I knew one day I would settle in just like my parents had but till then I needed to spread my wings. One of the times we did visit the city my father had bought me some nice fine armor and a great sword. These where not of course the best there was but it was the best for me at the time. While in the city buying these things we also met a man named Luka who taught me the skill of Brawling.As it seems that you may not always have a sword or bow you will always have a fist. Closed to my home town was this lady ( miriam) Who I had heard was a great teacher of speed. This was to be my first stop on my exploration. I found (Miriam) deep in the snake caves. It seems if you don't know these caves well you will never make it out alive. Lucky for me I managed to find my way. It was slow moveing with all these mountain snakes all around. I did finally meet this (Miriam) and after doing a few things,like running to find the indian man on the otherside of the mountain, I was taught the skill of speed. <br /> written by Frubillie.<br /> <br /> ==Straelyn==<br /> My name is Straelyn, and I was raised in a tribe of nomads in the snake desert. I remember my mother's Snake Tongue stew. She had a knack for taking the worst of things and somehow make them great. My father always said, that the only honor left was to be found in the deserts and far off hills. He felt that the city was full of deceivers who had lost their ways.<br /> I used to sneak off sometimes on my own, out of curiosity. I would explore, and watch people. I remember one time seeing a green slime devour some poor soul, lost and tired, who had strayed too far from town. I watched in horror, but wasn't strong enough yet to be of any help. I knew there was nothing I could do, but I think a part of me died with him. I felt shamed.<br /> With the great quake, my family and I became separated. I trained on my own as best I could. I remembered what my father said about city people, but if it weren't for them, I would've perished. For that, the people of Tulimshar will always hold a place in my heart. The green slimes and snakes seemed so much worst after the quake, though..<br /> Some while later, I came across a tribe of warriors around Nivalis, not unlike my own. They initiated me as a member of their tribe and taught me how to be a Rager. My father used to always tell me, &quot;head of the dragon, son, remember&quot;, when we were out hunting snakes. As I learned to focus my rage, I began to understand what he meant. How does one fight dragons?<br /> <br /> ==Axzell Bettlehorn==<br /> My name Axzell, you may know, but my past and who i once was, you don't, until now. I held this sad tale locked deep with in my thoughts for many years, but now the time has come for me to tell you. i was born 128 years ago, that is human years by the way. Dwarven years, i am in my 30's. Anyways, I wasn't born to a wealthy family, but a family of skilled Miners and Smithies, who lived in a distant land, that is now lost in time, do to wars and natural disasters. Now one of these, so called natural disasters, that my people knew was caused by that of a vengeful god angered by our kings greed, destroyed our lands greatly and forced all who survived, to leave the homelands and spread out across the world. Eventually, my family was able to settle down and became humble farmers, raising live stock and growing crops. We were very successful at it and were able to recapture the lives we once had, until, my mother died.............Now, this is the darkest part of my life, a part that i am sorry to say, i can not tell. The memories of it are too painful and it brings out the darkness of my heart........................anyways, i was able to move past those terrible events of my mothers death by leaving home and traveling the world. Eventually i was able to find a place to call home and find a peaceful life. Now, you may be curious, as to where the other Dwarves have gone to and why i in no way look like one my self. Well my friends, that is just a non Dwarven perspective. my people have adapted to fit in very well to the surrounding world. That we now seem as just shorter stocky humans and although there are few of us, we are still here. Well, that's my past in a nut shell for ya. As for my future, who knows, I'm still young, anything cam happen.<br /> <br /> ==Avenn==<br /> My name is Avenn, when i was 10 years old my village was attacked by bandits, slavers or whatever they was. My familly was killed, villagers slaughtered, noone left besides me and my friend Bob. We left all behind wearing scars in soul and we set out into the world. Life wasnt nice and easy as we thought, we need clothes , food, place to sleep, so we started work in every village we visit. Bob tryed once settle in one of them, but without luck.When i almost lost hope for better life, we met squad of mercenaries (i was 12 years old), i remember that day very well, that day changed everything. We joined them, we start learning, we start fighting , we start become predators... our character changed too, our jobs as mercenaries is a story for another day ,but thruth i dont remember my age Bob is dead , mercenaries are slaughtered, and i am mage... circle of fate ? no... way to become powerful. Someday i tell the rest.<br /> <br /> ==Lord Vlad==<br /> <br /> My nobility title is of course legitimate, I will slay anyone that dares doubt about it, I'm the son of an old crazy man, claiming he is the king of a little-no-man land of Kaisei, living alone in an empty manor. Maybe it's past now, I haven't seen him for years, he is probably dead. But as I said, this title seems legitimate, the old man often said that I was the last of a long dynasty who ever lived there. I'm the lord ruling an unknown land, without proofs and nobody asking for them.<br /> I was raised by a women, she was probably my mother, nobody ever told me, and when she died, I just left what I thought was my home. I travelled, I had to fight with my bare hands and I finally reached Nivalis. From there I joined the crew of an East Tempurian Company boat and learned to trade what I had to gain more and more money. I spent years like this. I was too smart, I got too rich maybe, someone in the boat stole everything I had and, as he was trying to kill me, threw me into the sea.<br /> Then I woke up with nothing in the Tulimshar surbubs and became an archer, and then I tried to be a mage, to be able to save people form the death I was so close of.</div>

The central lands and western lands south of the mountains have rich soil which settlers have broken up and grow all sorts of fruits and vegetables. Some ambitious farmers have climbed the side of the mountain to plant grapes there for making wine.

The settlers trade the crops that they grow for wood for their houses and for salt and spices that the ETC grow to the east side of Gasaron. The ETC then takes those crops and trades them for goods not in the region like sugar that has to be grown in Keshlam and rice that is grown in the Ancean Isles.

They are on very good terms with the Ancean navy even coming to their aid in the past when an iceberg tore into one of their ships and sank it.

Which they then traded to the ALC (Argean Lumber Company) for more wood to take to Nivalis since their shipment was late they only got half the pay but it was twice the worth to be on the good side of the Ancean Navy which when needed will use one or two of their ships down there at the East Tempurian company docks to carry large loads to places that need it.<br /> <br /> ==Argean Lumber Company==<br /> This lumber company is all about conservation for every tree they cut down they plant two fast growing trees in their place they have about 6 nature mages working with them at all times as to not interrupt habitats of birds and squirrels. Each tree that can be cut is marked by the nature mages and two more trees take its place the nature mages keep everything well watered and fertilized so that the forest never gets any smaller it is just preserved and provides an endless source of material to build with. The nature mages have captured some mouboos to work with the lumber company. The mouboos are treated very well and get many treats for the work that they do dragging large logs and working the treadmill for the saw. Having no ships of their own they rely on the Ancean navy and the East tempurian company to do the shipping.

We were very successful at it and were able to recapture the lives we once had, until, my mother died.............Now, this is the darkest part of my life, a part that i am sorry to say, i can not tell. The memories of it are too painful and it brings out the darkness of my heart........................anyways, i was able to move past those terrible events of my mothers death by leaving home and traveling the world. Eventually i was able to find a place to call home and find a peaceful life. Now, you may be curious, as to where the other Dwarves have gone to and why i in no way look like one my self. Well my friends, that is just a non Dwarven perspective. my people have adapted to fit in very well to the surrounding world. That we now seem as just shorter stocky humans and although there are few of us, we are still here. Well, that's my past in a nut shell for ya. As for my future, who knows, I'm still young, anything cam happen.<br /> <br /> ==Avenn==<br /> My name is Avenn, when i was 10 years old my village was attacked by bandits, slavers or whatever they was. My familly was killed, villagers slaughtered, noone left besides me and my friend Bob. We left all behind wearing scars in soul and we set out into the world. Life wasnt nice and easy as we thought, we need clothes , food, place to sleep, so we started work in every village we visit. Bob tryed once settle in one of them, but without luck.When i almost lost hope for better life, we met squad of mercenaries (i was 12 years old), i remember that day very well, that day changed everything. We joined them, we start learning, we start fighting , we start become predators... our character changed too, our jobs as mercenaries is a story for another day ,but thruth i dont remember my age Bob is dead , mercenaries are slaughtered, and i am mage... circle of fate ? no... way to become powerful. Someday i tell the rest.</div>

<p>Cinderweb: /* History */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Category_worldconcept}}<br /> [[Category:Geography]]<br /> {{Status_construction}}<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Ancea.jpg<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> ==History== <br /> During the oppressive reign of [[the Keshlam dynasty]], a defensive initiative was formed by the merging forces of [[the Tritan empire]] and the existing sum of trade organizations, who were all threatened in some fashion. A mock fleet of merchants, ferry-captains &amp; pirates became the inception of the now mighty [[Ancean navy]]. Following to a sudden victory over Keshlam's invading forces, Ancea was formally founded, subsequently claiming the right to absolute administration over the entire ocean.<br /> <br /> *to its citizens, the term Ancea generally refers to the ocean as a whole. The rest of the world however, might not agree with that notion, instead considering Ancea to be a large group of islands which stretches from Kaizei's southern basin, all the way down to the northern coast of Gasaro.<br /> <br /> During the cataclysm waves washed many pearls and fish up onto the islands so they took time to clean up. Pearls and fish make up most of their exports.<br /> <br /> ==Present Government==<br /> Each island gets a single dignitary to go and live on Galas and decide laws and govern the fishing rights of each island. Ties to each vote are broken by the Captain of Naval Forces, Niles Bruen. The small islands like this because Niles grew up on one of the smaller islands and know their hardships, and the big islands like him because he usually lets them do what they want with their land. Ever since tonori sent out their cry for help Niles keeps a flotilla of four medium ships each to guard the ports of Tulimshar, Nivalis, and Hurnscald from pirates and water monsters like giant squid and ocean snakes that can grow up to 100 ft long. The Naval Captain is decided by the troops as the best and brightest mind . Noone fights for the title because it is alot of work. Each island has it's own form of government to enforce the rules made up by the council. Some have kings and queens and some of the smaller islands have mayors.<br /> <br /> ==Chief Exports==<br /> Their chief export is pearls to the Blue sage and to Tulimshar. Otherwise they export fish to Hurnscald and other regions. The rice that the larger islands grow is saved in silos that are on each island to keep it dry and safe for use that way they have a stockpile if anything should happen.once the silos are full in the fall they export the rest to food vendors across the region.</div>

<p>Cinderweb: </p> <hr /> <div>==Family histories==<br /> <br /> ==Ozthokk==<br /> Ozthokk is not my name given to me at birth, but its the name given to me by a curse. although human in appearance, my soul is as cold as the distant north. I take only this shape to try and fit in with those whom dwell this world, but often find i am still an outsider. My past is but a distant thought, as my memory of it is very vague. the things i do remember, is that of a lovely young women. sitting at my bed side, she seems to be crying as she sings me a song of a beautiful summers day. I do not know if this women is my wife, sister or mother, all i know is that i felt safe, but soon that safety turned to ice and i found myself as an adult in the distant north, by myself and lost in mind not knowing who i was and where i came from, but soon i saw a figure, my vision was blurred, so i was and still am unsure what i saw, but i heard a females voice say the name Ozthokk. soon my vision became clear and i came to find that my flesh was as blue as the ice that surrounded me and i was not cold. for long after that day, i wondered this world trying to find who i once was. I may never know.<br /> written by Ozthokk<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Frubillie==<br /> I, Frubillie am the second generation of miners. When I was young I would watch my father work the mines. He loved the mines. All the miners seemed to love their job. You could see it in their faces. It was a great life for me and them. As I got older my father and some of the other miners would teach me how to mine. I only visited the city a few times as a child. It was a very rare occassion for me to visit the city. When I was about 5 or 6 years old I decided that I would never live in such a place. Don't get me wrong it was a nice place just not a place for me. I learned many skills from the miners yet I yearned to learn as many skills as I could from all over the world. I dreamed of traveling. I knew one day I would settle in just like my parents had but till then I needed to spread my wings. One of the times we did visit the city my father had bought me some nice fine armor and a great sword. These where not of course the best there was but it was the best for me at the time. While in the city buying these things we also met a man named Luka who taught me the skill of Brawling.As it seems that you may not always have a sword or bow you will always have a fist. Closed to my home town was this lady ( miriam) Who I had heard was a great teacher of speed. This was to be my first stop on my exploration. I found (Miriam) deep in the snake caves. It seems if you don't know these caves well you will never make it out alive. Lucky for me I managed to find my way. It was slow moveing with all these mountain snakes all around. I did finally meet this (Miriam) and after doing a few things,like running to find the indian man on the otherside of the mountain, I was taught the skill of speed. <br /> written by Frubillie.<br /> <br /> ==Straelyn==<br /> My name is Straelyn, and I was raised in a tribe of nomads in the snake desert. I remember my mother's Snake Tongue stew. She had a knack for taking the worst of things and somehow make them great. My father always said, that the only honor left was to be found in the deserts and far off hills. He felt that the city was full of deceivers who had lost their ways.<br /> I used to sneak off sometimes on my own, out of curiosity. I would explore, and watch people. I remember one time seeing a green slime devour some poor soul, lost and tired, who had strayed too far from town. I watched in horror, but wasn't strong enough yet to be of any help. I knew there was nothing I could do, but I think a part of me died with him. I felt shamed.<br /> With the great quake, my family and I became separated. I trained on my own as best I could. I remembered what my father said about city people, but if it weren't for them, I would've perished. For that, the people of Tulimshar will always hold a place in my heart. The green slimes and snakes seemed so much worst after the quake, though..<br /> Some while later, I came across a tribe of warriors around Nivalis, not unlike my own. They initiated me as a member of their tribe and taught me how to be a Rager. My father used to always tell me, &quot;head of the dragon, son, remember&quot;, when we were out hunting snakes. As I learned to focus my rage, I began to understand what he meant. How does one fight dragons?<br /> <br /> ==Axzell Bettlehorn==<br /> My name Axzell, you may know, but my past and who i once was, you don't, until now. I held this sad tale locked deep with in my thoughts for many years, but now the time has come for me to tell you. i was born 128 years ago, that is human years by the way. Dwarven years, i am in my 30's. Anyways, I wasn't born to a wealthy family, but a family of skilled Miners and Smithies, who lived in a distant land, that is now lost in time, do to wars and natural disasters. Now one of these, so called natural disasters, that my people knew was caused by that of a vengeful god angered by our kings greed, destroyed our lands greatly and forced all who survived, to leave the homelands and spread out across the world. Eventually, my family was able to settle down and became humble farmers, raising live stock and growing crops. We were very successful at it and were able to recapture the lives we once had, until, my mother died.............Now, this is the darkest part of my life, a part that i am sorry to say, i can not tell.

<p>Cinderweb: </p> <hr /> <div>==Family histories==<br /> <br /> Ozthokk<br /> Ozthokk is not my name given to me at birth, but its the name given to me by a curse. although human in appearance, my soul is as cold as the distant north. I take only this shape to try and fit in with those whom dwell this world, but often find i am still an outsider. My past is but a distant thought, as my memory of it is very vague. the things i do remember, is that of a lovely young women. sitting at my bed side, she seems to be crying as she sings me a song of a beautiful summers day. I do not know if this women is my wife, sister or mother, all i know is that i felt safe, but soon that safety turned to ice and i found myself as an adult in the distant north, by myself and lost in mind not knowing who i was and where i came from, but soon i saw a figure, my vision was blurred, so i was and still am unsure what i saw, but i heard a females voice say the name Ozthokk. soon my vision became clear and i came to find that my flesh was as blue as the ice that surrounded me and i was not cold. for long after that day, i wondered this world trying to find who i once was. I may never know.<br /> written by Ozthokk<br /> <br /> <br /> Frubillie<br /> I, Frubillie am the second generation of miners. When I was young I would watch my father work the mines. He loved the mines. All the miners seemed to love their job. You could see it in their faces. It was a great life for me and them. As I got older my father and some of the other miners would teach me how to mine. I only visited the city a few times as a child. It was a very rare occassion for me to visit the city. When I was about 5 or 6 years old I decided that I would never live in such a place. Don't get me wrong it was a nice place just not a place for me. I learned many skills from the miners yet I yearned to learn as many skills as I could from all over the world. I dreamed of traveling. I knew one day I would settle in ( ) just like my parents had but till then I needed to spread my wings. One of the times we did visit the city my father had bought me some nice fine armor and a great sword. These where not of course the best there was but it was the best for me at the time. While in the city buying these things we also met a man named Luka who taught me the skill of Brawling.As it seems that you may not always have a sword or bow you will always have a fist. Closed to my home town was this lady ( miram) Who I had heard was a great teacher of speed. This was to be my first stop on my exploration. I found (Miram) deep in the snake caves. It seems if you don't know these caves well you will never make it out alive. Lucky for me I managed to find my way. It was slow moveing with all these mountain snakes all around. I did finally meet this (Mariam) and after doing a few things,like running to find the indian man on the otherside of the mountain, I was taught the skill of speed. <br /> written by Frubillie.</div>

<p>Cinderweb: /* Infos */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Location<br /> | Name = Hurnscald <br /> | Filename = 009-1.tmx<br /> | Continent = Argaes<br /> | }}<br /> <br /> ==Infos==<br /> <br /> Hurnscald is a calm city which is located near the woodland area. This city is the main center of many quests in game. All players gather into this town to talk, to get their storage or bank, etc...<br /> it's main export is lumber which Jack the lumberjack supplies readily and iron ore which the mines are full of.The manaseed is here in the area as well as several teachers of magical arts like Sagatha, Orum, Waric, the talking swords, Audsbel and several others. potions are readily available here to those who have the patience to forage all the leaves needed as well as Selim the dyer.<br /> <br /> ==Development History==<br /> After releasing the first woodland map it became apparent that the woodland area needed at least one settlement when it was supposed to expand. Most of the existing indoor and outdoor tiles were made for Tulimshar and were either desert-themed or low quality. Thus the development of two new village tilesets, an indoor and an outdoor tileset, was started under the working title &quot;Woodland Village&quot;. <br /> <br /> The tilesets were created almost single-handedly by [[User:Crush|Crush]] between autumn 2005 and winter 2006. Crush also did the mapping and the initial NPC scripting of the town. Because of his dedication to this sub-project for over a year, the town was named after him. ''Hurnscald'' is an anagram of ''Crush Land''.<br /> <br /> After the to-be-expected initial rush on the new area, the town became rather unpopular with the community, which rather preferred to meet in [[Tulimshar]]. This changed when the [[Hurnscald Mine]] and later the [[Graveyard]] were added in Hurnscalds vicinity. These two difficult but rewarding level areas attracted a lot of high-level players and turned it into the center of the community.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Area]]</div>

<p>Cinderweb: /* the forest &amp; the jungle */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Category_worldconcept}}<br /> [[Category:Geography]]<br /> {{Status_construction}}<br /> <br /> == Civilization &amp; Environment ==<br /> Argaes has the most diverse environment in the world. With the exception of arctic snow and ice, the landscape presents a sample of each of the world's terrain-types, making it an ideal place for a young adventurer to get started. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Worldmap highlight argaes.jpg|thumb|Argaes, the central continent]]<br /> [[Image:Argaes actual.png|thumb|Argaes, Actual game maps, scale 1/32]]<br /> [[Image:Tux argaes.jpg|thumb|Argaes, the central continent with map numbers]]<br /> [[Image:Area_argaes.jpg]]<br /> <br /> see also: [[:Image:mapargaes.png|thumb|left|Argaes Game Map]]<br /> === the surrounding sea ===<br /> The currents swirling around the continent are too strong for a small vessel to navigate, requiring instead for larger ships to make any journey to or from another land.<br /> <br /> <br /> === the rocky northern coast ===<br /> '''concepts:''' [[bottomless caves]], the cliffs and the waterfall..<br /> <br /> [[Image:Northcliffs.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Cliffs and a few small plateaus separate the valley below from the coast. Various summits can be reached without climbing the rock-face, only by entering the caverns within the cliffs, but beware; the caves can be very dangerous. Going up leads you with moderate ease to the summits, but going down leads to unknown depths. Since the caves were discovered, people have been trying to reach the bottom, but lower levels continue to be found.<br /> <br /> <br /> === the valley ===<br /> '''concepts:''' farms &amp; ranches, [[rural village]], [[Trade City]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Valley.jpg]]<br /> <br /> From the cliffs, a waterfall feeds a river that runs south, where it eventually meets a lake. Along the lake and bisected by the river lies the economic hub of the continent; Trade City.<br /> <br /> A highway leaves Trade City its east and west gates. Following the road out of town in an easterly direction takes you through farmland and gradually in to hotter climate. Traveling instead to the west, you would quickly find the edge of the great forest.<br /> <br /> <br /> === the savanna &amp; the desert ===<br /> '''concepts:''' [[beach resort]], [[fishing village]], [[Sonbral]]<br /> <br /> This dry area has very little ground water and only a few small aquifers and springs, but if you look in the right places, you can find fresh cacti which can be tapped for water. There are many old farm houses, barns and outbuildings scattered throughout the dust; many nearly or completely buried by mountains of silt and debris. Much of the landscape is still littered with the remnants of the forest that once thrived here.<br /> <br /> The people of Sonbral claim ownership over the entire basin, though their city sits along the southern rim. The warriors of Sonbral use the desert for training, but other citizens also had their reasons for exploring this less than hospitable region. Shaman hunt for sacred herbs, while hunters hunt for dinner.<br /> <br /> <br /> === the forest &amp; the jungle ===<br /> '''concepts:''' [[Canopy]], [[logging camps]], [[woodland village]], [[Zartam]]<br /> <br /> The general area is separated by a river that flows west from the lake to the ocean. The woodlands on the northern side of the river are forest class, consisting of #REDIRECT [[https://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Hurnscald]]<br /> Hurnscald, while the southern side's woodlands are jungle. Aside from this river, there are at least 4 other significantly sized rivers and quite a few streams, spread out across the region. Two mountains lie entirely within the jungle perimeter; the southernmost of the two is the world's largest known deposit of fool's gold.. though there are tales of sizable amounts of REAL gold being found, as well.<br /> <br /> There are generally two modes of travel through the woodland regions, the many paths and roads, or the bridge network. The roads get you there, but the bridges are a bit more direct, making them a bit quicker. The bridges began in the town of Canopy, who's local government still maintains responsibility over them. To gain access to the bridge network, you must go to Canopy and obtain a pass.<br /> <br /> Zartam is the senior power in the area. The entire jungle is sometimes referred to simply as &quot;Zartam&quot; because of its diligent control over the general area.<br /> <br /> Ever since the graveyard was cursed the jungle people have made it known that any loggers or outsiders causing harm to plant and animal life will be hunted down and eaten as the jungle people remain somewhat cannabalistic. The people of Hurnscald tend to stay away.<br /> <br /> === the two rivers &amp; the swamp ===<br /> This strip of land separates two formidable rivers. Somehow, the river on the west runs south, while the river on the east runs north. This circular flow has contributed a great deal to successful exploitation of the river, for shipping and travel. In the south, the two rivers meet the sea; this is the only safe access to and from the continent, by sea. This is what makes Trade City's location so vital; boats can come up the eastern river, dock at Trade City's harbor to unload/load cargo and make an easy exit down the western river, back out to sea. The two rivers are also used for local travel. An individual can go it alone with a boat of their own, or for an easier time, one can book passage on a ferry. <br /> <br /> Back to the swamp.. though it's mostly trees and mucky water, a few caves can be found. The area used to be a blend of savanna and woodlands, but an alchemist's experiment turned the area in to a swamp. The experiment employed the use of magical spores, which were supposed to grow in to mushroom houses. Instead, the spores (which were probably handled improperly) grew in to fungus creatures, which quickly multiplied. Shortly after this blunder, the swamp began to form and the fungus creatures quickly overtook the strip. Zartam's council of elders banished the alchemist, who then promptly disappeared. They also ordered that a group be sent to the swamp, to contain the problem. Those people managed to learn to live in the swamp and continue their effort in pest control; the first generation of children could be being born there now.<br /> <br /> <br /> === the island off of the northeast coast ===<br /> This tropical island is full of ferocious beasts. Only a few people live here and only they could tell you exactly why. A tribe inhabiting this place probably have some special spells or abilities to teach. We could place a small volcano here, if we really wanted to get cliched with the whole &quot;tribal islanders&quot; theme.<br /> <br /> === the southern mountainrange ===<br /> Crossing the mountains is a challenge, but the road that passes through them is said to be a thief checkpoint. Rivers running between the mountains can be navigated by a small raft or boat, but this also carries its own set of risks. There are mining projects currently active in the area, leaving abandoned tunnels behind them.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> === the landmass is revealed ===<br /> When the Gods escaped from the Crystals, the flow of elemental energy was altered. In addition to releasing vast amounts of previously unavailable energy, the environment was severely distorted. Northwest of Tonori, a storm raged for over a decade, causing extreme turbulence in the sea below. This seemingly normal turbulence then changed in to an enormous whirlpool. All travel through the area was interrupted.<br /> <br /> The storm eventually relented and the sea calmed. Much to the world's surprise, the whirlpool that had disrupted travel for so long, seemed to give birth to an entirely new landmass. What started with a few explorers quickly expanded in to groups. A few small settlements, forts and colonies came and went and before long, people began to stay and raise families. <br /> <br /> <br /> === farming ruins the east ===<br /> At first, the eastern half of the continent was a bounty of wild flora, allowing people to perform a passive form of agriculture; gathering. There were a few controlled crops, but they were small and uncommon. Most of the resources gathered from the area were of a wild variety. When the wild fruits, vegetables and herbs failed to output, people became impatient. When it started to seriously impact the area's food supply, people began to clear the land for farming. Much to the protest of woodland folk, most of the eastern forest was destroyed to make way for farms. <br /> <br /> Though farming went well for a while, the hot winds from Tonori proved to be too harsh for the eastern edge of the continent. Without its previous blanket of woodlands to protect it, the area degraded to a dusty, desert waste and the farming days were over. Many of the people moved west, some attempted to leave the continent entirely. Some were content to stay on damaged ground, preferring the lifestyle for its rugged appeal. <br /> <br /> <br /> === modern-day boundaries begin to form ===<br /> After the end of a small war to the southeast, a number of dislocated warriors sought refuge with a small group nomads, who were trying to survive in the new desert. The disorganized nomads realized that they warriors had much wisdom to offer them and insisted on receiving their guidance. Some of the warriors stayed and became integrated in to the nomad's group. Soon after, the group founded the town of Sonbral.<br /> <br /> After taking in many refugees from the farming disaster, Zartam became more recognizable as a city. Though its boundaries tend to fluctuate the most, it is the oldest, active settlement known on Argaes.<br /> <br /> Trade between Sonbral and Zartam was non-existent for a while, but eventually a trading post was established midway between both regions. Over time, this trading post attracted its own community. The community built a village and over a bit more time, the village became Trade City. <br /> <br /> Today, Trade City's people have developed a new but powerful government called the Republic of Argaes, which seeks to control the continent's economy.</div>
