Secrets & Clues

1. the Children of Dread have picked Thaeden for a multitude of reasons. one being its strong magical signature, another being that the SK has too close an eye on magical things.
2. the mountains are home to bandits, Bulettesand other dangerous creatures

Thaeden

Sealed off from the rest of the continent by a massive mountain range and the Wastes, Thaeden has had a mostly steady rule. Sure, there are uprisings and naysayers under every rule, but the people here are of a sturdy nature. They are proud of their heritage and willing to fight to keep the creatures from the Wastes and the reaching hand from Kator at bay.

• strong magical area
• has isolated itself a lot from the rest of the continent - especially in the last 100 years, since the Sorcerer King started his aggressive expansion
• has pretty tight borders & doesn't easily let people in
• old forests, deep waters
• its not actually known to the 'outside world' whether Thaeden still has a king (despite its name). some say a queen is currently reigning, some say its a council of elders, and others that its the spirits of nature itself

Methods of getting into Thaeden:

• 'official' mountainpass. Strongly guarded, only very few people are let through
• over/through the mountains - more dangerous, less patrol (not none though - on the thaeden side of things there are often gryffin mounted patrols)
• ocean route - difficult to find a ship, especially at the moment. Port entry is greatly restricted and the seas have grown much more dangerous over recent months. would have to be dropped of elsewhere not directly at shore/port
