Kharndam Guide: Twelvelands

Twelvelands

The bowl-shaped depression of the area creates a large freshwater lake at the heart of the Twelvelands, [...]

Lluranal
Formerly the breadbasket of Kharndam and the heart of its populations, Lluranal has fallen on harder times the past few centuries. While still a relatively peaceful agrarian society, Lluranal has long been the westernmost province of the Imperam and a much-taxed provider for less-fecund areas of the empire. For more than 30 years, it has [...]
