Wilik

The capital town of Wilik on Rakee, within the Pelago Islands. To the North is a fruit orchard just before a wide stone bridge without sides, that lead to the Cyora Mountains. Thru a mountain pass is the village of Lyora.

The town has forests surrounding the other three sides. Each has a long trail heading to another settlement.

The town is suffering from having to export more food to Volat Island to feed some of the armies. Prices have increased on most goods.

In between the two gates facing west to the bridge is a deep ditch known as the Ditch of Quadrillion Depth. It has slopes surrounding it.


In the centre of The Green. A grass area used for Market Stalls, ball games and celebrations.

An environment where it is not safe to disagree with the majority. It has no interest in growth or change. The people want to keep the control.
Most of the local people are not open to strangers. The vibe in Wilik is mainly of money is more important and respect is not easily earned.
