Introduction:
The mountains of Aera are often as cold as the people who live there. Originally a refuge for those seeking solace from the chaos of society, the inhabitants of this land are so reserved that they might have been forgotten to the rest of the land well that is if not for the valuable minerals and metals which they beneath their feet. Their strength lies in solitude, leading many outsiders to be left lost to the cryptic passages and caves of mountain that Aerains call home. This secrecy is also the reason that the arboreal kingdom of Latt passes their experimental technology to their allies in Aera, so that inventions can be developed and tested in secrecy. Though there is of course always a drawback: their rocky region are almost completely unable to grow food, forcing them to rely on other kingdoms for much of their sustenance. The ld is known for its natural lakes in drawing many people, but when snow and cold weather come for a third of the year, they freeze over as the mountains cover with snow, the people of Aera seal themselves away, in the cold once again.
Cities:
Divu
Pulvi
The northern-most city of Aera, located in a nestle of mountains and flanked by woods to the east. The Hawktree family has ruled over Pulvi since it's inception by their ancestor, Tadriel. Within the main keep courtyard stands one of the tallest trees of Epo, the Hawkwood, and in it's branches fly thousands of hawks. In Pulvi, it is considered taboo to kill any of these hawks and is punishable by jail time. The current ruler is Silas Hawktree, the eldest child of the previous ruler Merek who was taken by an unknown illness two years ago. He is one of the youngest Hawktree lords, only 20 years of age. Pulvi has many mines and there are plenty of merchants there to sell their wares.
