History[]
Government[]
The government of Gardneria is the Mage Council, which is led by the High Mage. The Mage Council meets at the Council Hall in Valgard. The military of Gardneria is the Mage Guard, which is led by the High Commander.
Geography[]
Gardneria is a heavily forested country. There is lots of open space, known as the wilds, between towns and villages. The rural areas are wilderness and forests interspersed with farmland. Closer to Valgard, the land becomes increasingly dotted with small towns.
The Fae Islands[]
The Fae Islands were made part of Gardneria's territory after the Realm War. They are a work colony for the Urisk. The Urisk on the island are paid barely enough to survive and are laboring in conditions akin to out-and-out slavery. They have no freedom of movement, no means of leaving the Islands for a better life as they are heavily guarded, and children are forced to labor as well. There are only two ways Urisk can leave the Islands. One is by paying a steep price to pirates who will smuggle them out but often deliver them to a worse master. The other way is by becoming indentured servants to the Gardnerians, which is also little more than glorified slavery with the threat of deportment always hanging over them.[1] The Fae Islands have vast stretches of factories and farms. The southern part of the Voltic Sea, between the easternmost edge of the Fae Islands and mainland Gardneria, is well-known for its kraken-infested waters.
The Pyrran Isles[]
The Pyrran Isles is a storm-lashed military prison and war camp where the Gardnerians sent their enemies at the end of the Realm War.
