SETTING STUFF
THIS STUFF, YOU REALLY DON"T HAVE TO READ IF YOU AREN'T INTO SETTING DETAILS:
Sefonia has 7 provinces, each with a city of the same name:
--Vierna. The capitol city, in the center of the country.
----Who's in charge: The queen, who is officially the head of the church of Celadel, goddess of justice.
----Why's it strong: Lots of powerful paladins and clerics of Celedel. (It's also the richest of all the cities.)
----Physical features: farmland and woods
--Trevisi, the second-strongest province after Vierna. Second richest city, too.
----Who's in charge: the city council of merchants, led by Baron Trevisi himself.
----Who's REALLY in charge: The head of the thieves' guild.
----Why's it strong: lots of spies, assassins, thieves, rogues, bards, etc.
----Physical features: farmland and ranches (goats, sheep, cattle, chickens, other)
--Sternza, the third-strongest province
----Who's in charge: Duke Sternza himself.
----Why's it strong: lots and lots of fighters, mercenaries, cavaliers, archers, etc.
----Physical features: woods and forests and farms and the coast
--Hazrith, the fourth-strongest province.
----Who's in charge: Baroness Hazrith, the most powerful mage in the country.
----Why's it strong: magic and mages.
----Physical features: Mountains
--Zelgud, the fifth-strongest province.
----Who's in charge: Duke Zelgud, a cleric of the sun god
----Why's it strong: Lots of powerful paladins and clerics of Anthan, the sun god.
----Physical features: plains and farms and dry desert
--Fenmark, the sixth-strongest province
----Who's in charge: Duchess Fenmark
----Why's it strong: Combat engineers. Kobolds are a small percentage of population
----Physical features: Hills and valleys and rivers and streams... with excellent bridges, dams, aqueducts, roads, walls...
--Vertoht, the weakest province
----Who's in charge: Baron Fenmark
----Why's it strong: Because its clerics and paladins are dedicated to Daigath, the goddess of death, and no one wants to mess with them
----Physical features: Wetlands and marshlands... lakes and rivers... collectives of farms here and there
--Pendrell, the lost province:
----Who's in charge: No one. Duke Pendrell tried to take over Hazrith and Hazrith turned Pendrell into a huge swamp. It's now called Pendrell Swamp, or, more often, the Dismal Swamp. Lizardmen and Snakemen inhabit it mostly now (although humans and other people do still live there)...
