Cities and Locations of Note

The City and Castle of Eideann

This is the Capitol of Caledonia. The Castle Eideann sits atop a unique geographical feature, a large basalt plug of rock thrusting upwards some several stories. It's walls are thick and high, due to the law that states that any king that rules over Eideann must fortify it in some way, even in times of peace. Around it sits the sprawling city of Eideann.

The City of Strelling

Sitting at the narrowest point in the river Troshachs, the city of Strelling is by far the second most important city in Caledonia, featuring the Bridge of Strelling. A massive stone bridge spans the 100m crossing, being one of the best river crossings for many dozens of leagues around.

The Wall of Hadrian

This is a more recent feature, started at the beginning of Hectors rule, and is just now completed. It spans almost three hundred leagues across the southern boarder, sporting forty forts, built to garrison up to five hundred men each. The wall itself is fifty feet high, and thirty feet thick. The spacing of the forts is such that it would only take several hours walk from one to another along it's length.

Mineral Wealth

Iron and Coal, and from that Steel are their man products, however there are also large deposits of lead and copper which have inclusions of zinc. There are also smaller deposits of Silver and Gold, that while not supplying any great quantity are famed for their Purity.

Royal Family

King Dall the Unwell

The Iron King of Caledonia, ruled like a man with Iron in his soul. A Harsh man to rule Harsh people of a Harsh land, and under his rule the lands were stable and safe. That was until his hunting party stumbled across the lair of a Quthangbaet. The Monster savaged into the Kings party slaying many, and striking down the king himself with it's venomous bite. Any lesser man would have been killed outright by the poison, but the king would only slip into a dark sleep, never to awaken.

Prince Regent Hector

Son of Daal the Unwell, a more progressive ruler for a more dangerous time. Using family wealth from the royal coffers he has boosted the land economy as best he could, and fortified the boarders it shares with the southern lands that are now locked in war.

Princess Cellen

(Second Born, and Third in line to the throne)
(WIP)

Prince Willard

(Third Born, Second in Line)
Only a boy of 5, he was born shortly after his Father fell to the Quthangbaets venom. Sadly his mother died during Childbirth, being raised by his sister...
