World I

The world the story is set in is very much like the one we live in. The only real difference is that cities and forests are often intermingled, which doesn't always work out for the humanoid and animalia species involved as each is infringing on the others' habitat. There are some places where coexistence is possible; those are the main townships and cities that the story takes place.

• Krish'ne Torel (kuh-reesh-nay tore-el): A small city/town by the Egyrian Sea. Krish'ne Torel is reknown for its fishing industry, as well as being one of the few cities in the region that can boast to having ties with the Elder Dragon gods. Unfortunately, the wealth of the city has flagged in recent years with the passing of their beloved Linara Kre'nilia, the last living descendant of the Great Ocean Dragoness Nili.
  
  
• Egyrian Sea (eh-jeer-ee-ahn): One of the most beautiful bodies of water in the world. It is nearly the size of the Great Ocean, and is the home to many species of fish and aquatic dragons. Many city/towns make their livelihood from the Egyrian as the creatures from its waters are said to be one of the richest delicacies in the entire region, if not the world.
  
  
• Everwyld: A city in the middle of a great forest, Everwyld is one of those rare hybrids where humanoid and animalistic species live in peace and prosperity. One would think that the city would falter as they prohibit any damage to the trees surrounding them; however, the vast majority of Everwyld are elves and Dreizen, which makes coexistence simple as both races have an affinity to nature. The minority human citizens are those who prefer nature to industry, thus the city functions well on all levels. Travelers are welcome, but those with intent to harm are punished severely.
  
  
• Izul'ze Dreva (ee-zhul-zay dray-vuh): The largest mountain range in the world. Izul'ze Dreva consists of several peaks and valleys, some as deadly as they are beautiful. One does not venture into the realm unless he has a learned guide or is himself from the region.

More on the peaks and valleys of Izul'ze Dreva will be mentioned in a later post. For the most part, these three regions are the central locale for the entire story; two of the main characters are from Everwyld while at least one is originally from the Izul'ze Dreva range.
