Alagula Riesa is a small crook of shadow near the great realm of Diaga.

Over a dozen established trade routes come together in this shadow and funnel into two shadowtrails that lead down into Diaga. One a dryland road and one a canal. The city of Alaga rests on the confluence of the trails and survives on consolidating shipping an transport into the the forms they will take into Diaga.

The region is mostly flat with prairies suitable for farming and herding. few rivers the region is dotted with many small lakes, pinds and water tracks.

History

The region was first found by Prince Eric when he was helping lay down shadowtrails in the early years of the Kingdom of Amber. He sought a place that had ample water, flat spaces, and a sturdy bucolic people. Once he found it he, Osric, and a very young Corwin started using the centralized hamlet of Alaga as a starting pint for many trails that eventually solidifoed in to 12 main and 30 minor trails thick with shadowtugs

Coming of the Road and the Exclusion of Alagula

Alagula Riesa and Diaga Raks were similar regions, both playing vital roles of consolidating shipping into Diaga. But once the Jeweled road was created the great road collected trails that led through Diaga Raks and bypassed Diaga, instead connecting to the the entrance to Arden and the kingdom of Amber itself. Alauula Riesa was not so fortunate and suffered the fate of small towns cut off from regular trade by not being near a new interstate highway.

Many of the trails that once fed into Alaga found they connected to the Jeweled road earlier in their travels so that now the only trade coming down them is aimed at Diaga itself and no longer other inner realms of the Golden Circle. As such it is on its way to becoming a ghost-town.

Population

The shadow has approximately a million residents, most involved in homestead farming or in the shipping trades. A sturdy people, the Alagu who enter the military often become involved in logistics and supply. Many quartermasters across the military of Amber are Alagu.
