Overview
The region of Rekrar is a captivating land nestled amidst majestic forests and rugged terrain. Its enchanting beauty lies in its resemblance to the untamed wilderness of the Scottish Highlands, with sprawling forests, rolling hills, and serene lochs that glisten under the sunlight. The air is crisp and carries the scent of pine, mingling with the earthy fragrance of damp soil and wildflowers.
The forests of Rekrar are rich and teeming with life. Towering ancient trees stretch their branches toward the heavens, casting dappled shadows upon the forest floor. Moss-covered rocks and babbling brooks add to the ethereal atmosphere, creating a sense of tranquillity and harmony within nature's embrace.
Within these mystical woodlands, an array of creatures call this place home. Playful squirrels dart through the branches, while deer graze in peaceful clearings. The haunting calls of owls echo through the night, accompanied by the rustling of unseen creatures in the undergrowth. It is a place where goblins and trolls coexist alongside humans, adding an element of wonder and danger to the forest's allure.
Rekrar and its surrounding forests are not just a picturesque backdrop but a living, breathing entity that influences the lives of its inhabitants. The locals have learned to navigate its depths, forging a symbiotic relationship with the land. They harvest food from the bountiful trees, hunt the forest's creatures for sustenance, and even draw upon the magical energy that permeates the air.
Amidst this natural beauty, the city of Rekrar stands as a bastion of civilization, its stone walls contrasting with the wildness of the surrounding wilderness. The city itself boasts a vibrant atmosphere, with bustling markets, grand architecture, and a sense of history echoing through its streets. It serves as a hub of activity, drawing pilgrims who seek solace and guidance from the ancient temple within the forest.
Rekrar and its forests are a place of both wonder and peril, where tales of magic, adventure, and hidden mysteries intertwine with the beauty of nature. It is a realm where heroes are born, destinies are forged, and the forces of light and darkness dance upon the stage of life.
To the south is Talidar, a region known for the arts and poetry in particular. Every schoolchild across the continent can resite a verse of Taldrith poetry if prompted with a ruler. While the Taldrith princes fight their flamboyant wars where shedding blood is a cause of dishonour, their cousins to the north play a much more bloodthirsty game.
