The geography of Jasua is difficult to detail. First off its a shadow astride several different other realms. It is incomplete in nature. It is landmass in the midst of an ocean that itself borders onto shadow. The oceans are dark and thick and as they go out from the shore they fade off into unknown shadows. Sailors of Jasua learn how to hug the shoreline yet some are lost to the shadowwaters every year. | The geography of Jasua is difficult to detail.

He made many attempts to convince someone to develop into a royal line but the degree of arrogance needed was not there. Pride in their produce was the closest they came. | |
In time the concept of mass production did hook into the mentality of many families and they began growing orchards larger then for their personal use. | In time the concept of mass production did hook into the mentality of many families and they began growing orchards larger then for their personal use. | ||
