Murgland
Murgland is a very fertile land with most of the countryside being made up of long beautiful continuous plains. Located in the western section of Murgland is The Tree of life, a Tree whose waters are rumored to have great healing capabilities, surrounded by a treacherous river and jungle it is nearly impossible to get to. Located on the Mideast section of the eastern continent, Murgland is bordered completely by the sea on its eastern border. It is substantially a human-inhabited land with a few other races sprinkled in. Murgland is mostly a farming and village populated land governed by The Mur Ministry
Border Relations
Murgland is Bordered by the countries of Obu, Naria, and Laolisa. Murgland and Laolisa are big trading partners and thus share a healthy and friendly relationship through commerce and mutual trust. However, Murgland and Naria have very little trust between the two, raiding parties from Naria have been attacking the Murgland city of Sesen and its nearby villages, although the Chief of Naria insists that the raiders are acting independently from Naria. Murgland and Obu have an undeveloped, but stable relationship. They only share one trade route due to the treacherous landscape separating them, thus causing their trade relationship and trust to be quite insignificant.Cities
