Geography

County of Berless

Barlles.jpg

The County of Berless is where roleplay in our game will be focusing. This county belongs to the royal House of Larouss and is also where the Royal Court of Lusitaine is located. As you can see on the map, it's mostly plains, separated by a mountain range and forest from other provinces of the Kingdom. There are a few wide rivers and some forests within the county itself as well.

The larger house icons mark larger villages ruled by simple Lords and Ladies. The list of appable families can be found here. Other families may be opened if the game grows large enough.

Small house icons mark tiny villages. The roads on the map are not marked, but each village is reachable by a road. Only the largest rivers are marked on the map. The smaller ones may be found around villages too, as tiny ponds.

The seat of House Larouss is Luisante Palais. It's the main seat of the Kingdom and Luisante is considered the Capital.

The World

Ethnic equivalent in the table below is used to help you get an idea of how the language of a specific state may sound. We won't be using these languages for scenes, we will be writing in English, but Ambassadors and some NPCs have names, which may help you to recognize from which country they are from. We may someday decide we will allow visitors from foreign countries to be played as PCs and then you will need to know the ethnic equivalent in order to pick a name and description fitting the ethnicity of your character, but that is all. We are not trying to represent historic events, traditions, religion, or any other cultural aspect of one of these countries. So, do not expect historical or cultural accuracy.

Characters from these kingdoms are restricted to be staff NPCs at this point, acting ambassadors at the Royal Court of Luisante. These spots may be opened for application at a later time.
