Notes

Terrain

The continent where Rafsgal is located is called Dakita. It consists mostly of plains and forest. To the deep south of the continent is Gargantuan Swamp, the homeland of the gargantints. Located deep in the swamp is the portal to the Plane of Death. The swamp is one of the most impossible to cross and so far only four people or so have succeed in reaching the portal.

To the north west of the swamp is the Corrupted Plains. These plains were once endless miles full of splendid rich beauty until the God Gondoaler came down and made the portal in the swamp. His presence corrupted the plains hence their name. Today it is a barren rocky area where fire breathing lizards and steam elementals wander. Lava erupts in some places and it rains burning sulfur. Most people except for the wandering adventurer, stay away from here. There have been reports of people whimpering in the night, the people who were caught in the destruction in the plane and burned slowly and painfully. There have even been reports of skeletons and zombies spawning here in the night.

Following the edge of the Corrupted Plains is the Longfall Mountain Ridge. A treacherous territory of jagged peaks and crevices. Rock men dwell here along with strange cats that can blend themselves into the rock. A road, Longpike Pass, has been established through the peaks and it is guarded by several stations. Merchants and travelers pass quickly through the mountains, staying at night by the guard camps and during the day traveling. Ones who don't make it to stations by the time the sun sets, are most likely not going to be seen again. Ones who survive are usually beaten close to death, in a shock of complete terror, or gone mad.

In the far north of the Corrupted Plains, just within the Rechardo Plains, is the city of the Misty Faeries. It's a place where trade of magical potions and strange items of power can be purchased. Many people take Longpike Pass to get here which is the only reason why the road is kept open.

Beyond the mountains is the Rechardo Plains. The Rechardo Plains are great expanses of long waving golden grass and water holes. Farmers and other families have built homes here and roads are relatively plentiful. There are not many dangers in this area and travelers can travel easily with barely a worry.

To the west of the Rechardo Plains, in the center of the continent is, is Kastor's Forest. Kastor's Forest is the home of Rafsgal, the city of half breeds and mutts. Rafsgal is a great shining city made of marble and stone. It's like a Freeport meets Felwithe. To the near west of Rafsgal is the Whitestone River. The river got its name from the white stones located along the bank and on the bottom of the river. Across the river is the druid and wizard ports.

Beyond the forest is the plains again. In the far Southwest corner is the portal to the Plane of Misery. Raids and other jaunting are made here often since the Plane is rather easy and easy to get to.

In the Northwest corner of Dakita is a great beach called the Sand's of Time. A great city of Vah'Shir and some other species dwelled here but was destroyed by unknown causes. The species living along the Vah'Shir is still unknown and no records have been found. The area is rumored to be haunted and strange creatures live beneath the sand. Despite this it is a common place to find groups hunting together for experience or loot. Still a few groups have disappeared within the sand, never to be seen again.

Off to the west of the Sands of Time are Cat's Paw Island. These islands are the home of a small community of fisher men and Vah'Shir. The Vah'Shir are said to be the ones who fled from the city in the Sands of Time but the cats have no memory of living in such a city. The islands are indeed shaped like a cats paw. The main island is the foot and then three islands branch around it, making the three islands toes.

People

Several people mentioned in the story are people from the past. (Stories I will work on later lol..)

Chauntra Wolfrider: A female half elf ranger who has been named one of the Hero's of Rafsgal. She gave birth to the very first mutt and was married to the great dwarven warrior Kastor. She defeated Mayon Mistmoore with Rechardo Cavaier and became his best friend. She also stopped Gondoaler from destroying Norrath by sacrificeing herself along with Rechardo. She returned to Norrath years later, corrupted and insane from the tortures she has endured while in Gondoaler's home, the Plane of Death. Her daughter was able to save her by placing her soul into a unicorns body. This worked until Chauntra started hearing the voice of Rechardo in her head. She was saved yet again by her daughter going into the Plane of Light and seeing her father, Kastor. Afterwards, Chauntra disappeared from Norrath and the fact of her being a unicorn faded into myth. The rest is mostly provided in the story. Kalladar Sworddancer and a friend of his discovered the unicorn and decided to bring it to Rafsgal. Along the way, the unicorn morphed into a female half elf. She knew nothing of her past and Kalladar named her Laykisou. The King of Rafsgal, being a friend of Kal a bit, allowed her to stay in his palace. The rest will be said in the story.

Kastor Orcryst: Husband to Chauntra Wolfrider and great dwarven warrior. He was killed by Mayon Mistmoore while Chauntra was pregnant and his death is basically the basis for the rest of the stories.

Chantora Wolfleader: Daughter of Chauntra Wolfrider and Kastor Orcryst. She was raised by Aazzamzenla and Trallor along with their daughter, Aaz. She is the very first mutt, one of the few people to ever go to the Plane of Death, and the main founder of Rafsgal. She was married to Ision and had two daughters, Chandara and Chaniel.
