Jasua's Apples
The land of Jasua is a small one compared to many in the Golden Circle but it is rich and diverse. It grows many things and exports them as well. But it is the apples for which its famous.
Geography
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 ore lost to the shadowwaters every years.
The northern area of the main landmass is a vast region over 5000 miles long that is cool winters and warm summers. These areas are filled with apple trees of a wide variety. It also has many cultivated ground vegetables like asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli,carrots and many types of tubers. The natives adore artichokes and grow them in vast quantities.
History
Jusua was discovered by Prince Eric of Amber in his youth. On one of his first trips to lay down travel trails into Amber he found Jasua. He claimed he was thinking of apples but was specifically looking for a shadow with a large amount of produce to feed the growing Amber populace.
His youth and imprecision led to finding a shadow that was not a full realm or unverse but a farming shadow with a lot missing to make it a viable nation to develop into a Golden Circle kingdom, no matter how he tried.
