The continent of Skylathar contains three large countries.
To the north-east lies Drakenheim, the Tyranny of the Great Wyrm Vorthar the Worldeater.
To the south-east lies Jotunland, the Dominion of Giants, which is also home of the Stone Fist Confederacy, the confederation of the 5 dwarven jarldoms.
And to the West lies the Province of Lunessence where Daisygate is found.
Drakenheim and Jotunland is in a state of never-ending state of war ranging back to the time of myth and legend. The war allows Daisygate to thrive in peace.
The three countries are separated by three rivers that spring from a central mighty lake called The Grail of Equinor.
The three rivers are combined known as The Chains of Equinor. The three rivers are:
- Everstream separating Drakenheim from Jotunland.
- Titan’s Vein dividing Jotunland from the Province of Lunessence.
- Wyrmflow running between Drakenheim and Lunessence.
Province of Lunessence

Daisygate
Daisygate lies on the south-eastern shore of Lunessence out towards Dawnsea.
It is protected by Skyshard Peaks to the north and the dangerous Wildshade Forest to the west making it well protected on all sides.
While Wildshade Forest is dangerous to enter, the natural residue from the forest (such as fallen leaves etc) makes the plains between the forest and the city, fertile. They are know as the Fields of Flourish and provide more than enough harvest for the city and the visiting ships.
The harbour of Daisygate was naturally formed thousands of years ago by a meteor impact that formed Skyshard Peaks and created the round, protective shape around the harbour known as Starfall Bay.
