hundred years of existence. One of the notable features of this place is the large black stones forming a near impassable ring around this city’s border, making travel to its iron gates accessible by only a single road. Built along high cliffs, a series of pulleys and ropes allow the workers to haul large shipments from the tangled web of maze-like docks hundreds of feet below. The city of Brova remains free from the rule of the vindari, as Brova has begrudgingly offered the advancing nation a yearly tax to satisfy its expansive urges. Brova is governed by a court of aristocratic nobles who hold loyalty to their city and are not beyond making pacts with others, such as the savage bhriota, in order to keep it free from any but their own. Year after year, its population grows, and with each trade season thousands come from the surrounding town and cities to sell their goods. Brova has several open air markets, and its streets are always filled with exotic vendors from the other realms.

There are many prejudices that have been associated with the romni since times of old, and some with good reason. The tales of innumerable atrocities that were committed by the Witches of Ravca held sway with all of Sileasia. Demon worship, dark pacts, and other rumors soon began to spread about in the vindari society soon after the nation established its rule. As a means to provide an example to other cities and towns which would refute their proclamation of rule, the vindari declared that the use of magic by the romni evil, and any among them found in possession of such power would be

labeled as a witch. As they were considered a direct threat to the true church and the newly established order, this resulted in many romni being taken into custody and tortured to great extents. It was only after the vindari hung no less than thirty of the proposed witches in a single month did the other people of this city submit to their enemies.

Novce is a small village made up of a few farmers and herdsman. Most of the city is a ghost town and littered with the ruins of buildings long abandoned. Travelers to this region are often only interested in seeing the Black Spire, the last standing tower of a desolate keep.

Several miles deep into the forest, the trees taper into a swamp. A thin layer of brackish water lies over a deep sea of muck, choked with reeds and fallen trees. The swamp is nearly impassable, anything heavier than a branch sinks into the water never to be seen again. The Black Spire stands in the center of the bog surrounded by a deep pool of dark water. Its dark coloring comes from a fungus that clings to every stone. The ruins of a keep poke up from the marsh throughout the area. These broken fragments are so numerous that they make a passable walkway for those who can jump the gaps between them.

On the western coast of Sileasia, on a rocky cliff, stands a white-washed brick abode consisting of a tower and a two-storied main building. Once used as a lighthouse, it now houses Dr. Lichlyter, his students, and his subjects, patients of the Pava Asylum.

The asylum is the heart of Pava and fuels most of its industry. Dr. Lichlyter also maintains a small academy where students from all of Vathak come to learn his views on vindari medicine and surgical techniques. Shopkeepers and fishermen cater to the growing student body, as rumors of expanding the school are met with high expectations

Lands

Most of Sileasia is relatively flat until one reaches its eastern border, where the land becomes rolling hills which stretch to the base of the Gray Peak mountains. Its interior is broken by the Odra River, a swiftly moving waterway running from its northern seacoast and into the foothills of the southeastern peaks. Sileasia is a resource-rich and populous region. A great many mines can be found throughout the mountainous regions. These large scale vindari operations have yielded a vast sum of wealth throughout the years of their operations. With the vindari’s use of blasting charges, the stripped land has produced: coal, silver, lead, gold, iron ore, limestone, marble, and basalt stone. There is also a thriving agricultural sector within its interior lands, which produces cereals (wheat, rye, barley, oats, and corn), potatoes, and other needed food crops to support the increasing number of people settling in this region.

Forest of Alder

To the southwest, a large rise of rocky hills gives way to the ancient Forest of Alder. This abandoned landscape was once filled with small hamlets that bordered along the forests edge. Long before the lands were filled with cities, the Forest of Alder stretched hundreds of miles in each direction. Once
