Geography

(See "Forest home of Hoary Belinda" post, 11/20/09, for more details.)

Continent of Yrth

Dradah Delmah, It-lal, the Crying Woods, and Floating City are all located in the southeast corner of the Yrth (northern) continent.

Dradah Delmah

Dradah Delmah is the former home of House Bralfah, a tribe of Surface Drow. It is located in the Blackheart Woods, part of the Monster Preserve on the Second Plateau in New Elenna.

It-lal

It-lal is the Surface Drow "first home". It sits on the peak of a mountain, near the westernmost edge of a range of mountains. The exact location of It'lal on the Yrth continent is a bit unclear, but it likely lies east of the Cruesa Sea and northeast of the New Elennian Peninsula.

Crying Woods

The Crying Woods is a sentient magical forest that lies west of It'lal at the base of a mountain range. Via the main trade road from It'lal, it's about a days journey to the edge of the Crying Woods. Between the eastern edge of the Woods and Floating City are a number of Reptilian tribes, remnants of the Reptilian Empire of the Second Age (called "the Al Mathir"). These tribes have been subjugated for many centuries by a large family of Green Dragons (the Green), who enforce order and bleed the tribes of food and valuables with the assistance of the awakened animals of the Woods. In the distant past, there were swamps to the north, but whether this is still true is unknown. Also in the Crying Woods are the Elvenguard -- a community of elves who seem to have avoided the tyranny of the Green. Periodically a member of the Elvenguard is chosen to merge with the Crying Woods, thereafter acting as a controlling/moderating force on the Woods. However, the last "Entwining" was interrupted by Dark Druids, and the Crimson Shield hero Florin sacrificed himself instead.

Floating City

Floating City (The Float) lies west of It'lal, floating on a very large lake within the Crying Woods. It is roughly a five day hike to the lake from It'lal, plus several more hours (at least) by boat. The Float used to reside on Turtle Lake in the New Elennian Peninsula until it was mysteriously transported to its new location several years ago. Confusingly, the new lake is still sometimes referred to as "Turtle Lake", but it's proper name is Crying Lake. The lake is near the Cruesa Sea, probably 350 to 400 miles northeast of the New Elennian Peninsula as the crow flies. The lake's waters are known to harbor some very dangerous creatures, including Kraken. At least one ships captain (Tender Farfoot) has apparently found a navigable river from Crying Lake to either the Creusa Sea or the Lotophagi Ocean. The Float is home to The Crimson Shields of Hope adventuring group.

History

House Bralfah: The Surface Drow

House Bralfah is a drow family with deep roots and average standing. While pretty much intact from when the drow’s underground city was destroyed, even house Bralfah, who remained neutral during the power struggles was fairly significantly damaged. Prior to the fall of the city, Bralfah was a fairly insignificant house. Now that the mighty have fallen, House Bralfah has become the pre-eminent house, if not the only remaining one, of the drow.

Surface Drow

This group of Drow has fought their way upward away from their subterranean cousins and into the light. They have broken with tradition and been blessed by Alemi. These Drow have broken with the Matriarchal traditions and now worship any god they wish.
