Ravenfall, The Dwarven Mountains
The Dwarves of Skarback
Eastface castle and the lands of ravenfall province were once a nation alone and intolerant of arcana but after the catyclysm 20 years ago and the drying of the tides they were conqured by dawnfire and taken into a single nation.
​
The homeland of dwarves boasts a lordly and long liniage in the skkarback family who ruled the land for hundreds of years.
​
wITH THE ADVENT OF THERE VASSELIZATION THE CULTURE HAS BECOME VERY RECLUSIVE IN EASTFACE AND BEGAN CREATING POWERFUL AND SOUGHTAFTER WAR AUTOMOTA. A SECRET THEY ZELOUSLY GUARD.
Midlake
The snowy alpine mountains of ravensfall dominate the skyline all across the territory but it is no more pronounced the the halfling valley own of Midlake. NESTLED BETWEEN TWO MOUNTAINS AND A SHEER CLIFF THE TOWN IS NEARLY INACCESSIBLE BY ANYTHING BUT AIR.
​
THE TOWN IS QUIET AND HUMBLE AND PERHAPS THE ONLY KNOWN HALFLING SETTLEMENT IN ALL THE PLAIN. IT IS MOSTLY 4-5 FOOT STORIED BRICK HOUSES BUILT FOR THE SMALL FOLK WITH DARK PINE ROOFS RISING UP TO TALL POINTS BROKEN UP BAY LARGE GRASSY FIELDS. the FAR NORTHERN SECTION IS MADE UP OF NEARLY TALKFOLK SIZED MANORS.
​
a LARGE LAKE IS SET IN THE SOUTHERN MOST POINT OF THE TOWN. A LARGE BRIDGE called Ol'kad bridge CROSSES OVER THE LAKE WITH A TALL ARC THAT REACHES NEEDLESSLY HIGH. THE BRIDGE IS OLDER THAN THE WHOLE TOWN BUT HAS NOW BECOME A MAKESHIFT DOCKING AREA FOR THE INFREQUENT AIRSHIPS THAT LAND HERE BEFORE PASSING OVER THE MOUNTAINS.
Highwind
The lands of crudilex were once ruled by monsters. the age of beasts during the second god's birth there was few more bestial and powerful than the dragon. Today the dragons savage the plains and roost in high mountains but here in highwind halfway up the heart of crudilex they are gathered and raised from eggs.
Deep in the blackmist glades, a
palacade
the orc armies who originally called ravenfall home have warred with the eastface dwarves for over 100 years. Driven to the southmost extreme the army of orc felled an entire forest and constructed a hundred mile long wall battlement that acted now as there last stand. Spears and bones fill the wall from either extreme. It's armies striking out at the dwarven camp and suffering endless hailing from it's trebuche.
​
the BATTLE HAS BEEN IN A STATE OF STALEMATE FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.
the Dry sea
Before the day of dawn this cresent shaped land at the southmost point of ravensfall was a coastline with shifting tidal rises and falls.
​
today it is a vast salt and sand desert with sporadic tidepool like oasis. The dry sea is home to nearly completely land dwelling culture of merfolk who live in the ruins of what was once vast underwater cities.
​
The entire desert is well below sea level, and at the northmost point a cave that

tHE SOUTH MOST POINT ON THE MAP OF CRUDILEX HAS MANY NOTABLE FEATURES BUT NONE MORE MYSTERIOUS AND ANCIENT THAN WHAT BRAZEN CALL SIMPLY THE "pillars"
​
these MASSIVE STRUCTURES ARE CONSTRUCTED OF SANDSTONE IN BLOCKS SO MASSIVE MANY BELIEVE THEY WERE BUILT BY BEINGS FROM BEYOND CRUDILEX'S PLANAR CIRCLE. tHE MYSTERY OF THERE EXISTENCE IS DEEPENED BY THE FACT THAT BEFORE THE OCEANS DRAINED ON THE DAY OF DAWN NEARLY ALL THE PILLARS WERE SUBMERGED ALMOST COMPLETELY.
