Lands near Lycos

Devilmen swim the waters to the west of Lycos. These creatures have been a source of
trouble for centuries. The Kedane and West navies have hunted/battled them in recent
years. There are no known lands to the west. An elvish ship has come from the west
on occasion. The last time the ship showed up was 996.

The northern isle (of the Lycos chain) is home to numerous humanoid tribes. These
tribes are mostly orcs and goblins, but have been led by Gnolls in the past. Other
humanoid creatures, such as Ogres and Hill giants, are also known to be present.

The southern isle (of the Lycos chain) is home to goblins. Goblins overran the towns
several centuries ago and have not moved out since. Kedane has made several
attempts to defeat them, but these attempts have not worked out.

Past the northern isle lies the small island of Els and the town of Elsburg. This
town is home to many unsavory characters. The town is fiercely independent and denies
docking to all recognized navies. The town is a source of Allenwood which is used
to make strong furniture.

Uncivilized peoples live to the northeast. These people live in tribes. The known
tribes are John's People, Realm of Ice and Cold Reach. The Realm of Ice tribe is
known for conducting raids for slaves and treasure. The Cold Reach tribe hunts
whales and trades whale oil and ivory.

To the east lies the island chain of Hydyr. Several of cities in this island chain
trade with West. Those cities are Hydyr (mineral ore), Morgantown (mineral ore),
Red Sea City (food and wine), Pegolin (mineral ore) and Baku (exotic wood). These
cities are all city states similar to West. The Hydyr island chain is larger than the
Lycos chain. The Dwarven mines of Matakar and Katakar can be found on two of the
islands. The waters are not always safe as pirates are known to ply the waters.

Farther to the east, the Mithril isle is home to the Dwarven mine of Dabbor. This mine
is known for working a vein of mithril. Adamantite is also rumored to exist in the
mine but the Dwarves deny this rumor. The cities of Glasson and Chirile are the large
human settlements on the island. They trade with West providing mineral ore and
wood products for food and manufactured goods.

The Isle of Wizards lies to the east of Hydyr. Not much is known about this island or
even if it is a single island. The large land mass of Contopia lies farther to the
east. It is home to many strange beasts and fantastical kingdoms. You have never met
anyone from this area although many sailors claim to have witnessed many sites. The
more grog, the more sites.
