The canyons of the Semperia Plateau are filled with countless riches. They are ours and anyone thinking otherwise is free to come take the fight to us.

Geography

  Semperia Plateau is a secluded plateau in Terios which is surrounded by mountain ranges at all sides. Because of its elevation and the high mountains at its sides it is rather difficult to reach. The best way to enter the region is by travelling along the river into the various canyons.   This natural protection has helped the Semperians who inhabit the region to retain their independece for most of its history.  

Landmarks

 

River Gate

  The River Gate can be found near the end of the canyon and proved to be a perfect location to put up defences. A large gate was constructed at the canyon side forcing any invading force to try to take a much more difficult road. In addition to the gate the edge of the region is filled with watchtowers at regular intervals.  

Semperia

  The city of Semperia is built within the canyons walls in the upper part of the region. The living areas and common areas of the city are found near the canyon walls while the mines and industries can be found much deeper underground.   As both canyon walls are used for the settlement several bridges have been constructed conncecting the two sides. This has been done on several different heights creating a real web of bridges.  

 

Resources and economy

 

Mining

  The Dwarves and Daski Elves of the Semperia region are known for their mining practices. Many of the canyon walls and nearby mountains are filled with various resources which made them quite rich.   Most of their income used to common from gold and gems but other resources such as iron and copper are mined as well. One of the most lucrative resources is however the mining of Tremor Falls.
 

Glow Crystal

  Glow Crystals make life underground much easier and are found in great amounts in the region. These crystals are able to create light in even the darkest of places and are commonly found in many underground settlements as a substitute for the sun.

I love the idea of the river gate so much. I feel as though it would feel rather epic to pass under it.

Well written with a lot of history. I wouldn't mind seeing the flora and fauna of this place more.
