Ventiera: A Traveler's Guide
Ventiera is a prosperous country with the two main cities being Sugavus and Tuul. Together, they provide a location for travelers and natives alike to come together and share stories, rest, and prepare for journeys elsewhere.
Valtameri
A small port town where ships full of cargo and eager explorers often dock. Legends passed down in this old town speak of a sunken temple deep beneath the waves where an ancient guardian rests. No such thing has been found as of late. Valtameri is the gateway to Ventiera, and it certainly shows with extravagant inn facilities such as the ones they proudly possess. Just outside of Valtameri lies the Champion's Crypt, an undeciphered temple discovered years ago. People say they've heard whispers as they approach the temple-some theorize it to be a vengeful spirit, or simply a children's prank.
Sorias
A small village located in the jungle, Sorias is often considered the gateway to Mount Luxia, the symbol of the continent. A rest stop for those daring enough to challenge the great mountain, those who reside in Sorias are often excellent healers, and they ensure a welcome and restful stay before the grueling challenge ahead for brave explorers. The populace is made up of a strange yet relatively friendly race called Lepids. Gentle yet passionate, albeit a slight bit cold to strangers, these moth-people are a welcome sight to see nonetheless after a long trip to Sorias.
Sugavus
The capital of Ventiera, Sugavus is a bustling city with many sights, located in a deep valley. The city has friendly locals willing to aid the common traveler, and this includes the royal family, often seen out in public with their citizens. Facilities include a smithy, general store and vault, for any adventurer seeking glory in this land. The airship docks provide a way to Tuul, the city in the sky, and Sugavus' partner settlement. The fountain that lies in the center of the sprawling valley is a monument of the two cities' friendship, and some rumors state it even allows those trusted by the High Mage to travel to Tuul instantly. Sugavus is a city highly recommended for visiting, for both the common traveler and daring adventurer alike.
Tuul
A city of great technological advancement, Tuul floats high up in the sky, above the ground. The populace here is made up of mostly mages and scholars. To reach Tuul, one must travel by airship from Sugavus. The Tuulians have lent the Sugavians much of their knowledge, and the great sword statue that lies within Tuul is a symbol of their partnership. The grand library holds many books on many subjects, and is the prime location to study any number of subjects.
Luxia
A great mountain with a peak reaching higher than even the floating city of Tuul, Luxia is a terribly tough challenge that many an explorer has died to while trying to reach the top. Some tell legends of a great blade enshrined at the top, though no one has made the trip successfully except for the royalty of Sugavus. A ritual is performed for the crowning of every new ruler at the top of the mountain, and none are allowed to share what they have seen upon the peak. Be it a fool's trap or an adventurer's glory, Luxia is nonetheless an important part of Ventiera's history.
The sky, if anything, will always be full of colour. The deep blue of day, the orange and purple blend of twilight, the night sky, an obsidian blanket with diamond holes. Even stormy skies, while grey, possess a colour.
We could learn a thing or two from the sky.
