Editing In the Shadow of Elsport (section)

=Other Regions=

==The Scatterstar Archipelago==

Immediately to the west of Elsport is the Scatterstar Archipelago, a vibrant set of countless small islands full of life.  There the Sea Folk thrive and often work with Humans to build communities.  There are also pirate coves and shadow cults hunting for relics from the Old Kingdom.  Elsport serves as the "anchor" for the archipelago to the mainland, a gateway to the rest of Aldis.

==The Steep Coast==
The Steep Coast is the thin strip of lowlands that stretches west of Elsport between the Western Ocean and the Faerie Highlands.  It is a sparsely populated region of simple fishing villages and ranchers.  If "Going to Garnet" among Elsporters means one is going to seek one's fortune, "Going along the Steep" means they are going into a realm of profound banality.

==The Feypeak Highlands==
Called the Crying Highlands during the Shadow Wars, this mountainous area shoots up quickly from the coast around Elsport, and then gives way more gradually as one heads northeast into the Central Valleys.  It was once dominated by the Sorcerer King Coombwail, but much of the unpopulated land was given to the Faerie Lord of the Peakers as part of his assistance in toopling Coombwail and reclaiming what is now Elsport.  It was once known for extensive mining under Coombwail, but that is not allowed in the Faerie lands.  The humans who live in the small communities in the highlands have developed intricate customs for working with and appeasing the Fey.

One significant feature of the Feypeaks is Mooncut Pass, the best route through the mountains from Elsport to the Central Valleys beyond.  It is controlled by Aldis.

==Garnet==
Garnet is a large, prosperous city at the Mouth of the Rose River.  It is the gateway from the sea to Aldis and the Central Valleys.
