Eamon Gazetteer

Evenhold
a bustling, cosmopolitan city; a major port since it is the only natural harbor along the mountainous coast; a center for many religious, racial, and ethnic groups; a trading hub that offers a wide selection of commodities; the coinage is a holder in gold, silver and copper denominations
Grunewalde
a small duchy midst the Jarlschlager Range; pronounced as grune'-vall-deh; the coinage is the walder in gold, silver, and copper; the only town takes its name from that of the duchy; the duchy is the hereditary domain of the de Lupus family; a mining center that extracts precious metals and gems
Malphigian Sea
the sea to the west and south of Evenhold; the closer islands include Melosia, Cormorant Island, Burning Rock, Esparea Cay, Serpent Isle, and Leanda Atoll; an area of trading, smuggling, and piracy; hazards include reefs, sea monsters, and fierce storms
Desert of Terza
an expansive waste with little or no water for miles; thought to be the abode of Terza (see Pantheon); rumored to be the site of the pyramid of Anharos; crossing the desert without a good guide is not recommended; tribes of desert nomads called Rifs eke out a meager existence through trade, herding, and preying on others
Jarlschlager Range
the mountains that divide the western half of the continent from the spice lands of the east; they rise to extreme heights with only one known pass through to the east; the Great East Road connects east and west via this pass; surrounds the duchy of Grunewalde; rich in mineral ore and gem deposits, the most famous being the lost Gruner Mine
Cynwood
the forest east of Evenhold; popular for hunting; provides all types of forest products; bisected by the Great East Road; unsafe for travel alone; caravans often can be found to travel with along the road for greater safety; common site of secret religious rites

This map details the major areas of the adventures. Evenhold is the site of the Main Hall. There are 6 island groups in the Malphigian Sea in the vicinity of Evenhold. The Great East Road leaves Evenhold on its way to the spice lands of the East. A fork of this road leads to Grunewalde. A pass through the broken lands leads to the Desert of Terza. More of Eamon will be mapped as new adventures are added to the series.
