-The Island of Ageron is actually fairly new, created by earth mages via the recently rediscovered Mountain spell and spread out over time. It is located in the southern hemisphere almost 3 months travel by boat to the SSW of Lojem. The island itself has a population of over 200,000, but attempted to remain uncharted for as long as it could, due to the power and terror of stories told about adventurers on the outside islands. Having remained rather peaceful, the island(s) actually ceased to exist for about 30 years. Reasons for this are unknown, but it has returned, causing nothing more than a small tidal wave upon re arrival. Signs point to a massive psionic malfunction in the city of Uzumi playing with time magics. The island itself consists of several large landpoints and cities, which are described below.

-=== Cities of Ageron ===
+The Island of Ageron is actually fairly new, created by earth mages via the recently rediscovered Mountain spell and spread out over time. It is located in the southern hemisphere almost 3 months travel by boat to the SSW of Lojem. It is about a 5 month journey to the northeast, past Lojem, to reach the Rhine. It takes about 4 months to the northwest to reach Kratal. The island itself has a population of over 200,000, but attempted to remain uncharted for as long as it could, due to the power and terror of stories told about adventurers on the outside islands.

+===== Cities of Ageron =====
 **[[Vesuna]]** The capital city of Ageron. Its population is nearing 123,000 people, the majority of which are humans, lizards, and elves. The current reigning king's name is Nicol Bowarn, and has been reigning since his ascension to the throne at age 35. He is a proficient mage and alchemist and would rather spend his time tinkering away than deliberating politics. Rumor has it he has found the elixir for immortality, but this is not backed up by any basis. The rest of the city survives well on farming, minor mage work, and trade with Firehammer Hold for iron and other like goods. While this is the capital, unless necessary the majority of the power is delegated to the mayors of each other town, and they take a more passive stance on most political issues. It has been seen though, that if the system needs a fix, Nicol will not hesitate to help the people.
-**[[Uzumi]], City of the Psions**: Pop: 2,300. This city is as it sounds, however, it is almost more fortified than the capital itself. Those in the city itself are extremely prejudiced towards non-psions, which is determined at the gates of the city. Completely reliant on food crops from Vesuna, this city's small population spends its time almost purely in research of psionics, psionic artifacts, medicine, and just being racist against orcs. To this day, not many people know why this is, and it has just been passed down from generation to generation. Orcs have been known to disappear at night.... while this hasnt happened to non-psions, they still extremely dislike them and consider them inferior mentally. This city has no temples, and chooses to rely on its own means and strength to heal anyone who is sick. (I'll take this city, unless someone else really wants it -Preston)

-**[[Markduk]], City of Privateers**: Pop: 5000, but rising. As a result of the formerly pirate crews banding together, the way this city behaves has changed immensely. The government is now a form of tribunal, where the four pirate captains meet and discuss issues. A mayor has been appointed as the head of this group, but if you ask most anyone around town they will tell you that the real one in power prefers to stay out sight. The city now hires out its crews and ships as mercenary protection for the various merchant ships that traverse the oceans of jaern, which is proving to be quite profitable. This isn't to say that the city has become a law abiding dream. There are still plenty of opportunities to find shady activities going on, and rumor has it that if someone needed something stolen, this would be the place to come. ((Before running a game from here, it would be great if you added it to the calendar on the page, just to avoid any overlaps. -Bradley))

-**[[Firehammer Hold]]**: Pop: 13,750. This dungeon keep is stocked almost exclusively by dwarves. Comprised mostly of miners, blacksmiths, and artificers, this city gets the majority of its food from Vesuna's farmers in exchange for trading metal materials and gemstones. The city, while not the most open to visitors due to its remote location enterance, is very hospitable to those who choose to visit and assist them in their needs.((I have plans for this-Nathan R.))

-**[[Northface]]** Pop: 32,000. A fairly large city located at the north end of Ageron. Located on and in a cliffside, it is continuously windy, which has led to windmills and primitive forms of electricity and lighting being used for power. This city is host to a large university. It is also currently being plagued by an incurable disease.

+**[[Gratac]]**: Rumor has it that even none of the Grand Masters know what this city is.
-**[[Toth]], City of Necromancers**: Pop 15,000. While by no means is everyone here a necromancer, this place has been the thorn in the side of the kingdom. Located on the island of Koth, the city is ruled by a handful of powerful families who are constantly scheming to attack and weaken each other, meaning that the city never focuses its attention on expanding outwards.
+**Granale**: A small shipping village located across the river from Gratac on the southern bay of Ageron. The village handles much of the goods that come from inland to be delivered to Gaea and Koth or other ports where land delivery would be too hazardous.
-**[[Gratac]]**: Rumor has it that even none of the Grand Masters (GMs) know what this city is.
+**[[Shinto]]**
+**[[Fadencrest]]**: Population approx. 750. Located in a mountain valley southwest of Firehammer, originally a closed door religious convent of the followers of Emizzair (called Em for short) that is now a small trading town. The town boasts the Exotic business league, a moderately productive renovated iron mine, and a T'orite barracks as well as the original temple to Em. While all major faiths deny that Em exists and no proof of his presence is apparent, the followers still worship avidly. The region around Fadenwood is known for its meteor showers and the strange metallic ore that lands there.
-===Other Notable Locations ===
+==== Other Notable Locations of Ageron ====
 **Divide River**: This river connects from both sides of the ocean, and twice a day with the tides switches flow direction. Beyond it, there is one massive desert, named Kroan.
@@ Line 32: / Line 35: @@
 **[[Kroan]]**: A massive desert inhabited by six tribes. The only permanent city within it is [[Tephis]]. Temperatures can reach upwards of 120* F here.
-**[[Koth]] (Island)** This island is fairly thin, meaning exploration has been quick. It's swampy, wet, and corrupted by a strange, dark magic, making it highly inhospitable for most life forms. The one city is [[Toth]], which is described above.

+**[[Southern Forest of Ageron]]**: The forest ends near Firehammer Hold, and goes west to the largest river of the continent.
-**[[Gaea]] (Western Island)**: as of yet, this island is very unexplored. Rumors talk of a species stronger than those seen before. There where preiously only 2 towns, Darnation (this one is responsible for all the island politics) and Weto, which is mainly just a small town of farmers, hunters, and gatherers. Rather recently, with help of adventuers and mages, a city was literally teleported to the north end of the island, and a small city of animals was discovered to the west. (running games here for now - Dan)
+  * **[[Qiryah Amir]]**: Population 8,000. An ancient city within the [[Southern Forest of Ageron]]. It has only recently revealed itself to the world.
-**[[Mar]]** City is fairly straightforward. They are still setting up and exploring Gaea, but have a nice city with a port going. City was previously named Darnation, but was renamed Mar after a coup that installed new leadership. (- Dan)
+**[[Vasvoir]] (Aquatic City)**: Population 13700. This city, comprised primarily of lizards, is located on the bottom of the Basal Sea near the southeastern shore of Ageron.  The city of Vasvoir is completely submerged except for a dock in the middle of the water that houses an elevator to the city. While friendly and open to outsiders, a large majority of the city is inhospitable to non-waterbreathing creatures. However, the city proper is in a sealed dome to allow commerce and interactions with outsiders. Since this city had no land to grow crops, it relies on other mainland cities for produce, trading its abundance of deep ocean fish and corals.
-**[[Weto]]** Weto is currently a town that is comprised of farmers, miners, and hunter gatherers.
+===== Locations Near Ageron =====
-**[[Unity]]** Previously a city that was located on a different plain altogether, the city itself was transported to Ageron after the time hop event had ended and Ageron was already back. The city is a haven for species that don't feel welcome in normal life, and refugees from adventurer-infested/destroyed plains.
+**[[Koth]] (Island)**: This island is fairly thin, meaning exploration has been quick. It's swampy, wet, and corrupted by a strange, dark magic, making it highly inhospitable for most life forms. The one city is [[Toth]], which is described below.

+  * **[[Fulgoro]], Town of Fireflies**: Population 4,500. Located in the swamps at the south end of Toth, this town is built on a system of stilts keeping the buildings safe above the water. The economy subsists mostly on fishing and trading. Due to the high population of monsters on Koth, the city's citizens rely on adventurers, mercenaries, and monster hunters to defend the town from those who would attack it, and all three groups are generally welcomed within the town out of respect for their services.
