Locations
The Land
This story takes place on one continent. The name of is The Land, a name the people gave the continent over time. It may have had a more complicated name at some point in the distant past, but these days, people just say things like, “I’ve travelled all across The Land.”
The North
The North has long, harsh winters and short, cold summers. It is landlocked and is covered in pine tree forests and some mountains and hills.
It’s the most populated area of the continent thanks to the vampires who love the lack of sun. It’s the most progressive and advanced area.
Veritas
One of the biggest cities across The Land, located in the far North. Many vampires made their home here, safer in the cold darkness. It became known as a safe haven for vampires, and later for other marginalized groups, too. The progressive attitudes of the people always stuck around.
It’s the most technologically advanced place in the area.
Enath
A town far in the North, located nearby one of the biggest cities on the continent. It attracts families and young parents due to its proximity and railroad connection to the city while still being a town.
The South
The South has long, dry and warm summers, and warm, rainy winters. It is surrounded by beaches and warm seas. The landscape consists of forests and plains. The people are a bit old fashioned.
Corburn
A small town located at the Southern coast. There’s a prevalent pack of werewolves who have claim over the surrounding forest, but don’t do anything with it.
The population has slowly been leaving due to the dangers the werewolves bring to it.
The Village
A small, nameless village in the South well hidden by the surrounding forest. It attracts older people looking to hide away for their retirement, or younger people wanting to hide for other reasons.
The East
The East has cold winters and warm summers. It shares its mountain range with the North. It’s covered in forests, which are filled with faerie gateways. It is the least populated because of this, people want to stay away from faeries.
The people are the most old fashioned out of the whole continent. The influence of the faeries seeps into the regular population.
The West
The West has both mild summers and winters. Like the South, it has a coast, but it’s cold and rocky. It’s the windiest place on the continent and is entirely covered by grassy plains.
The type of people vary. The further north, the more progressive the people tend to be. The further south, the more old fashioned. It can be a gamble for what kind of town you’ll end up in.
The Realm of the Fae
A separate world where most faeries live. It is entered through faerie gateways in the Eastern forests. It is where all magic originates from, good and bad.
The Realm of the Dead
A thin layer on top of the human realm. It’s where wandering souls, or ghosts, reside. Everything is the same, except the ghosts wander through the world like they don’t exist.
They can watch their relatives live their lives from the sidelines, but can’t interact with them. If they do manage to do something like touch someone, the living person will most likely brush it off as something else. It’s incredibly frustrating.
