Sarkova, known to many as the Land of Clouds, is a predominantly human nation just east of the Weissic Empire. Sarkova is home to some of the oldest human civilizations on Ettor, and is one of the most respected nations on the global stage. Tempered by centuries of war, famine, and other hardships, Sarkova is home to a strong willed and proud people. Sarkova is known for its strange, alien geography. Most of the nation resides in a deep basin, shrouded from sunlight by the thick clouds that loom eternally overhead. Jutting out from this basin are colossal white cliffs and plateaus that peak just above the clouds, upon which many cities have been built, nestled within the forests of crimson trees and mosses that cling to the white stone. In its infancy, Sarkova was first settled by humans migrating from what is now the Weissic Empire. The swamps and bogs that comprise the basin of Sarkova are extremely hostile and home to countless dangers, from deadly predators to carnivorous plants. For centuries, the old civilization of Sarkova was in constant danger from the hostile environment it was built upon. As time went on however, they built higher and higher, cities built upon cities built upon an enormous foundation of stone, until one day their civilization breached the clouds, and the dangers of the basic were no longer a threat. Today, most of Sarkovan civilization is built atop the towering, cathedral-like cities nestled within a sea of cloud.
