Renatus Holy Lands
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Renatus Holy Lands, otherwise known as the Holy Lands sits on the north-western side of the largest island in the Renatus Holy Lands, straddling the strait that was the main access to the Sea to the Heartlands and to the open ocean beyond. To the North West was the Kingdom of Salvus, until its eventual vassalisation in the First Holy Orenian Empire. To the West was the Kingdom of Renatus & its Ancient Capital City of Arethor, until Godfrey I consolidated the Kingdoms on his borders into the First Empire
Crestfall itself sat on the shoreline of what was a prodominantly hilly and forested island, with its main exports having been from mines on the island & from the lumber collected from the neighbouring woodlands. Crestfall imported some food from the west, but most of the population lived off of cattle reared on the lands, fish from the sea and ocean, or from root vegetables. The Northern side of the Isle was where the settlement of Ceru sat, considered a de facto district of the wider Port City when the two polities merged. To the south was an inhospitable area known as the Sea-Bound Desert, a strange wonder of the world of Asulon, best described as a Sand-sea, filled with quicksand that stretched the Crestfall Isle to the South and the snow-covered lands of the Hanseti. Due to the nature of this southern area of the island, it could not be settled by Humans, nor could it be traversed through by ships, making the northern strait the only way in or out.
