The South
The main kingdom in the South is Carmagelian, which is ruled by the High King/Queen . The three other kingdoms (Angora, Mysallis, Rhydenen) also have kings or queens, though they all must answer to the High King. The large marketplace town of Cayline also lies along the main road, with several settlements.
Carmagelian
Carmagelian, also know as the city of sunset, is the capitol city of the South. It is ruled by Aryka Bloodhart, the current high king. Carmagelian is a walled city built against a mountain range, with the palace above the city along the edge of a deep gorge. The palace, and several other buildings nearby are built on a system of freshwater hot springs.
The city gets its name from the sunset colored stones and crystals used to build the inner city's streets, the walls, the barracks and the palace. This stone is mined from the adjacent mountains, and is the city's main source of income/trade along with agriculture from farms in and outside the city. Hunting is also an important part of Carmagelian, as the nearby plains have many prey species.
Hunting is something regarded with much honor in Carmagelian, it is often used as a right of passage for adolescents. Good hunters are often regarded as highly as great warriors. It is considered an honorable death if one dies on a hunt.
