Grieum


 * Griuem- **

Here you would __type__ a quick overview of your region--a sort of summary of the important points about it.

Griuem does not really have a religion. The people have become isolated from the rest of the world and do not believe there could be a higher power controlling them. This is fairly important because my region will probably react hostile towards any cults/religions that come together in Griuem.


 * Geography **

Here you would describe the physical features of your region--the __type__ of landscape, notable landmarks, rivers, mountains--whatever is important. These things will of course impact how your residents live in this part of the world, so consider carefully how landscape affects __life__.

My region is fairly flat but is covered by forests. There are also some section of the region that have a few hills. There are several rivers running through the island. The biggest and most major one of them all coming down from Shadow Mountain. The Harland river runs down Shadow Mountain and goes right down the middle of Griuem. Shadow Mountain is over 40,000 feet tall and to climb to the top is to be considered a huge feat. The waters around the island are breeding grounds for dozens of different species of fish and several species of sea monsters/creatures. There are 4 main cities. The Capital city, Ebova which is in the middle of the region. It is the central trading hub because of its position in relation to the other 3 cities. The second city would be Mercitya, Mercitya is a lumber town that does trading primarily with wood related things including contruction, lumber, and furniture. It's located in the North West of Grieum. The third city is Anernya and it's economy is based off fishing because it's the one on the peninsula. It has a slightly higher population than Ebova because of the rich fishing economy. The fourth city is Lyrasa. Lyrasa's economy is based on travel because most magic users meet and trade knowledge in Lyrasa. The city is also known for its plentiful roads, clean living, and low crime because of all the magic users that live there.


 * History **

Describe the history of this region. How did things get to "now" in our world's timeline. I'm guessing this will change as we make connections across regions, but a detailed history can lead to awesome stories--search for lost artifacts, ancient rivalries rekindled, disgraced noble houses seeking the throne. Think of Tolkien here and the importance of world history is clear.

The history of Grieum is marked with relative peace. My region has scarcely been in economic ruin because of fishing and lumber industries. Grieum was in complete Anarchy near the time of separation from the other regions because it had no government. A brave soul named Pinarious Thorp rose up and quelled the chaos. He then set up an elective monarchy. He's considered to be the hero of Grieum and is still remembered to the current day.


 * __Government__ **

This might be different depending on your ideas, but here is where you discuss how citizens of your region are ruled. Different parts of your region might be governed differently, of course.

Grieum is an Elective Monarchy. It is ruled by a king who is elected by popular/electoral vote who serves for life. Since the people voted him in the people can vote him out. If the king is deemed unworthy or unable to rule properly there can be a vote to remove him from power. There are also governors appointed by the king who oversee the city they are assigned to. They can serve as long as the king wants them to server and will have to retire when the king dies unless the next king wants them to stay in that position.


 * Inhabitants **

I was going to say "people" or "citizens", but your region might not have either. Describe who or what lives in your region, and their way of __life__. Are they farmers? Hunters? Do they rely on trade with another region? What are their homes like? What kind of dangers or monsters might live in the region?

A majority of Grieum's population are humans. There are occasional immigrants from other regions who live there. There is your normal sort of monsters and animals living within the vast woods of Grieum. There is a special forest monster. It blends with the trees, bushes, or even the ground because it uses a special type of camouflage to hide its appearance and its scent. It has deadly sharp razor claws capable of killing most animals in one blow and easily crippling a normal human.
