Laruna
Laruna is a land of many peoples, each carving their own path through the ages. Though the rise of Legacy is a hallmark of the land, it is far from its only defining trait. Places of power remain from ages past and many of Laruna’s landmarks possess rich histories of their own. Perhaps most prominent in the current age are the marked territories of the many kingdoms and nations that call Laruna home. These groups, as well as their conflicts and growth have as much of an impact on the land as the land has on them. In truth, many of these civilizations have existed since a time before Legacy even arrived in Laruna. Their size, strength and influence is an integral part of Laruna, and to know them, and their people, is to know Laruna.
Common cartography indicates major settlements, borders and roads, but plenty of inconsistencies or omissions are to be expected on all but the most expensive maps. With many large kingdoms or nations in open conflict, many things are often subject to change. A traveler could cross large swaths of land to find that their destination is no longer in the hands of the same ruler. Similarly, a settlement could be eradicated by war or Kreesh, leaving many with outdated information assuming it still exists. For ruling bodies, clergy, or tax collectors, current and accurate knowledge of the land is paramount for proper administration. As for travelers, understanding where current borders lie, what the customs of a local people are, or which roads pass through dangerous territory could literally be a matter of life and death. Laruna is a vast land and the means of traveling it are many. Steeds such as horse and great bird are used for most travel needs, specifically those remaining within a single region.
