The Sloakwood Nations

To the southwest is the Sloakwood Nations. This land of waterfalls is so dense with rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes, that very little dry land exists, except for the colossal volcano Mount Ortugant. This hasn’t prevented a wide breadth of people coming to live in these lands of plenty. There are thousands of sea-fields scattered throughout–acres of shallow, clear water lakes where fish and edible plants grow plenty. The people of the Sloakwood Nations are diverse, but their shared wealth rivals even Korril, as the rivers and falls regularly provide gold deposits for panning. The Sloakwood nations became part of the Empire nearly three hundred years ago after a strange bloom of algae caused a deadly food shortage, and with their abundance of gold and with a treaty signed, joined under the Empire. This region sees a blend of languages similar to the Nation of Bells, but many speak Darvlanger, or "water-walker" to honor their ancestors.
