The Maps of Myrist

The southern most expanse of the Karana territory is located just north of the Rathe mountain range, beyond Lake Rathetear. In comparison to the rest of the plains near Qeynos, the southern regions are filled with a relative sense of calm.

Many natural creatures roam the southern plains, including lions, elephants, and wolves. Ancient, wise beings called Treants make their home in the far southern delta, near the chasm. Treants are sentient trees that are viewed as sacred by the followers of The Rainkeeper.

The aviaks of Antonica, a race of birdmen, also call this place home. Their culture is primitive but noble, and they are natural enemies of ogres. Their large aviary-like village resides to the southeast, near the mountain pass to Lake Rathetear. They live high in the air on natural or constructed pilings. Crude ramps, fences, and bridges are strewn about the village. The birdmen seldom come down to the valley floor, except in small hunting parties, or to chase their attackers.

The intelligent half-man, half-equestrian centaurs have founded a small village in the northern terrain. Centaurs follow a system of matriarchal polygamy, where females and males live separately. Once a year, will they meet, but then only on the female's terms. Centaur males live in a circular compound of stable-like structures while females live in a secret location. At the centaur encampment, adventurers of all races, religions, and professions may purchase fine goods of sturdy centaur craftsmanship.
