Various Information

What is the relationship like between the different countries?
Arwen is a place of high technology and academics, so most countries are connected by their desire to gain knowledge or that Arwen want to research varios places and people in that country.

Eldaria is the oldest of the countries in Daphgar. Most countries started with that people migrated from Eldaria or that they weren't accepted into it. Eldaria is also the most monster-hostile country which is why tension between the other countries are high.

Nekar was founded by many mosters that were rejected from Eldaria. Nekar has over the years become famous for their merchants and good. If you wish to aquire something rare you call for a merchant from Nekar.

Thessalia is a land of myths, magic and history that have not been fully explored yet. Most connections with the other countries is Arwen and other countries that wish to explore and research the magic that has yet to be revealed.

Quorin is a large country with a lot of dry- and wastelands made by mostly monster races. The economy is rather bad with their income being mostly made up by moutain excavations and guns-for-hire.

Who rules them/makes the desicions?
Arwen The prince makes his decisions based on how the people of the republic feels, mostly based on nationwide votings

Eldaria The king makes decisions based on what he thinks is right. Coming from a long linage of kings that have ruled Eldaria for a long time. Being a conservative old king, some of his decisions can be questioned.

Nekar There are not a lot of ruling powers except from the larger families and gangs in the bigger cities.

Thessalia Leaders of the cities meet on a regular basis to descuss the diffrent difficulties they are facing. With that they decide on the rulings.

Quorin Same as in Nekar except that powers from Udorah (the underworld) also intertwines sometimes...

What locations are most corrupted?
Quorin or Eldaria.

Eldarias king has since long been controlled by dark forces from underneath Daphgar.

In Quorin gangs, crime syndicates and larger families has since long controlled most of the countries.

What is the scale of this map?
5 000 000 km².

Are the countries composed of many different races or just one?
Quorin, Nekar and Thessalia has a wide variety of different humanoid and monster races. Eldaria has mostly humans and other humanoid races such as, halflings, dwarfs and elfs. Arwen has mostly elfs and other woodland races.

Why is the city of Creley located there? What brought the development of that city?
The Jameson Family was the first to invest in the mines located in the northern region of Nekar. Creley was first made to be a mining town but as merchants began immigrating to the town. Discovery of minerals, gemstones and magic crystals quickly spread and many merchans began setting up shops and attracting more adventurers and other merchants that resulted in that the city grew.

Creley. What do they eat? how does it get access to water?
Almost all of the food and drinks in Creley are imported from other parts of Daphgar. With the exception of some local monsters that are hunted down and eaten.

Creley. Where are the trade routes, and subsequently the roads?
Because of that Creley is a rather new city (only about 100 years old), there are no clear routes while traveling by foot. However most merchants have scouts or rangers with them that help directing the merchants to their destination.

What are those blue islands near Qourin?
People who have traveled there has yet to return which gives it a good hook for the players to grab.

Udorah (The Under-World) has their entrance to Daphgar from there. Many monster who escaped Udorah but couldn't swim or fly have inhabited the islands there.

Due to the monsters that could escape and flew or swam to the mainland Nekar and Quorin has alot of wasteland. This is also why the two countries are called The Deadlands.

How do you handle the gunslinger class? Aka weapons, cannons, explosives, etc.
Callas, being an old military-state out in the desert with many "guns-for-hire" type assassins and such alikes makes it a great setting for cowboys. People who use guns, cannons and explosives are mostly "cowboys" or pirates in my setting.

But they are definitely around. Not rare at all, just maybe not as common as a bow due to the pricing of them.
