Askaldos

Askaldos is the continent on which Creed of the Rebels takes place. It has several different regions, which are easily distinguished by their cultures and inhabitants.

Arghazad
The Northernmost region is Arghazad. It is extremely mountainous. Most of the inhabitants live inside or in close proximity to the Dragon's Maw, a ring of steep mountains encircling a forest of evergreens. The Dwarves are the primary inhabitants of Arghazad. Their massive cities may be found in many of the mountains throughout the land.

Westron
Westron is a small region just southwest of Arghazad. It is barren, with a chilly temperature resembling that of its northern neighbor. Most of its residents are of the Human race, but many Dwarves, Orcs, and Giants can be found there as well.

Barghol
From the air, Barghol appears to just be a lush forest, but once on land, it turns out to be a world of nightmares. Many monsters roam forested Barghol, killing each other and feasting on their victims. Only the strongest survive Barghol. . .if they're lucky.

Nokul
Known for its ports, Nokul is the heart of trade on Askaldos. It constantly sends ships to Kourikos, Ishdamesh, and the island of Damace. The handiwork of skilled Dwarven metalsmiths and jewelers pours in through Westron. Occasionally, rich spices from Kyonai find their way to Nokul. Humans, Halflings, Gnomes, and other races all get along together in their attempt to prosper more than their rivals.

Kourikos
The region of Kourikos lies in the center of Askaldos. Many of the great philosophers and scholars originated from Kourikos. It is also home to the infamous Marian Empire. Many great discoveries were made in the central region. Many great people hailed from Kourikos. It is considered the most civilizes part of Askaldos.

Kyonai
The land of katanas, Kshatriyas, and Bushido, Kyonai is known for its exotic spices and exotic culture. While not as scientific as Kourikos or as prosperous as Nokul, Kyonai has its own significance. The Sapphire Guard, an army of Paladins, is based in Kyonai. Civil war is a fact of life in the region, unfortunately, seeing as many warlords seek power.

Ishdamesh
Ishdamesh is a nation made up of nomads, sheiks, and priests. It consists mainly of desert with oases spread out few and far between. Humans, Half-Orcs, and Lizardfolk all call Ishdamesh home. It is one of the most mysterious parts of Askaldos.

Damace
The island of Damace is home to many Elves. It is quite green in appearance because of the large amount of plant life found there. Pixies, Nymphs, and Sprites all roam around freely. It is a stronghold against the Marian Empire because the large number of non-humans found on the island.
