Asmalur

Asmalur is the third largest continent in the world of Arkadell. It consists of nine areas: Arched, Burundian Plains/Burundia, the Reid, Torrelox, Windir, Ruudenfall, Ehtrial, the Drothak'nar Mountains and the Silver Mountains. Its lands are welcoming to a variety of different races.

Asmalur's history is divided up into three different periods. The First Age, the Second Age, and the Third Age (current time).

Geographical Areas
(add an updated physical map or something)

Arched
The area east of the mountains separating the Western Kingdom (Burundian Kingdom) from the Kazian Kingdom. It stretches from the city of Kaza to the sea and encompasses the plains between the mountains that separate it from the Reid and D'Arok.

Burundian Plains/Burundia
The land (on either side of the river) that stretches from the plains south of Sibatrona to the port town of Mistwatch. The land is bordered to the west by the Dwarven Empire, beginning in the Ruudenfall Mountains, and bordered to the east by the Kazian Kingdom.

The Reid
The swamp area south of the Arched region. Possibly the most unexplored region in Asmalur and the most dangerous, as many foul creatures have been known to lurk there. The only civilization The Reid held was the port of Stagnum, which has since been abandoned.

Torrelox
Torrelox is a blanket term applied to the Southern Desert regions that lay on the southwestern tip of Asmalur. The Ruudenfall Mountains wrap around the edges of the desert to create a wall against any rain which might make its way towards Torrelox. There are two distinct physical regions of the desert, the first being what is known as the Rift. A large and soft valley between the base of the mountains and the Mid-Desert Ridge, the Rift serves to draw a distinct border between the Ruudenfall Mountains and Torrelox. The other distinguishing trait is known as the Western lowlands, a massive area of slowly descending hills which shrink in size as they near the sea to the west. Once a very active part of the land, interest in the region has taken a steep decline since the death of Karrath's sultan.

Infamously known to be a safe haven for bandit factions and tribals, Torrelox is a largely lawless stretch of land that is plagued with inhuman heat and almost uninhabitable sections. Despite these conditions, there have been 3 major cities that have not only survived, but thrived upon this climate (only to fall to chaos after a few years); Thorgen, Al-Menahkid, and Karrath.

Windir
The area to the North of Burundia, the Ruudenfall Mountains, and the Drothak'nar Mountains. Little life exists in these frozen lands of the north other than the city of Skaelot.

Ruundenfall Mountains
The mountain range on the western side of the continent, it serves as sanctuary to the Dwarven Empire. Stretches all the way from Torrelox to Windir, with The Hold sitting on its western edge.

Ehtrial
The area between Burundia and the mountains to the north, location of the towns of Diligat, Regato, and Mirysk, making up the DRM Union. The nearest largest cities are Calidyrr and Kaza. The towns of Ehtrial are each situated in areas that lend them to different types of resource gathering. Diligat is on fertile land near to the river making it a prime area for farming, Regato is located within a dense forest making it suited for gathering lumber and Mirysk is located in a corner of the mountains. This and the fact it is built up and into them makes its mines rich with ores. The lord of Ehtrial is Kurt Ambrose, albeit he calls himself less of a lord and more of boss type figure. Kurt united the three towns to form a trade union of sorts named the DRM Union. Using the money Kurt gains from selling Diligat, Regato and Mirysk's produce, he plans to rejuvenate them from sleepy unloved towns into bustling centers of commerce.

Ehtrial is very close to the Silver Mountains, and known to all, the Skyrender Clan of D'Arok inhabits, additionally, the militant religious Windir empire lies deep in the north, mostly keeping to themselves. Due to the close proximity to D'Arok, the Ehtrial region, aswell as Port Ionalei and Sibatrona have the constant fear and paranoia of Orcish raids. The Orcs however, have been known to accept a 'sacrifice' of an Elf to bring a ceasefire towards the Ehtrial region.

The area has long since been abandoned due to plague, population decrease, and lack of care.

The Silver Mountains/Silver Peaks
The mountains that run to the North and South of the city of Kaza. At the northern end of the Silver Mountains the Drothak'nar Mountains begin.

Drothak'nar Mountains
The mountains that run from the north of the Silver Mountains out to the east up to the coastline of Asmalur. the Orcish city of D'Arok is nestled within these mountains.
