Guavira (city)

Introduction Text
Guavira is the capital city of the nascent country known as Bridlane. One hundred and sixty-five years ago, three sisters, Aliva, Beatar, and Toredin Brid, set forth from the Eastern continent of Jameel and landed in the Bay of Lobot. In the centuries since, they have grown Guavira from a small hamlet into a bustling center. Depending on whom you talk to, you may hear that the sorceress queens lead with a wise and loving hand, others that they are tyrants.

Regardless, under the Brids’ rule, Guavira has flourished. Now that Bridlane is established, adventurers and historians use it as a resting place between Jameel and the ancient civilizations of Mahida, the western continent. While Mahida is slowly being repopulated, it seems as if the land is reluctant to make itself hospitable again. Nomads and air sailors report that only Bridlane is thriving, while other areas of Mahida are rocky deserts or frozen tundras, or have beautiful purple grasses that enchant and kill. Only the bravest venture out, or the most foolhardy.

You might be one of the queens’ many clerks, a thief in the shadows, or a member of one of the artistic and financial guilds. You may be an air sailor, curious to find out why Mahida prevents ships from sailing over it. You may be a historian, eager to find details of the old civilizations. Or you may be an adventurer, ready to sharpen your skills before heading out.

Guavira awaits. What will you do?
