Kredes is a continent of extremes, with vast stretches of arid deserts, sweeping steppes, and dense rainforests. In the north, the Bulgan Empire reigns supreme, a fierce nation of skilled horsemen and warriors. The northern half is a harsh and cold expanse of plains and steppes, where sudden sandstorms and fierce winds can quickly overwhelm travelers. The Bulgan Empire rules with both fear and respect, commanding the loyalty of its subjects through its military might and the admiration of its people.
Central Kredes is dominated by a vast and hot desert, where few settlements exist, and most inhabitants are nomads who trade goods and knowledge with one another. Along the western coast, lies Ratakia, the central continent's only major city and a hub of trade and commerce. Ratakia is ruled by the Sol Hariq, a powerful and influential matriarchal aristocracy, composed of united noble houses who value knowledge, wisdom, and trade above all else.
The deep desert of Kredes is rumored to be the home of a hidden city ruled by a powerful clan of vampires. Few have ever returned from the depths of the desert to speak of their encounters, and most believe their existence to be nothing more than myth and legend.
The southernmost regions of Kredes are covered in dense rainforests and jungles, home to various tribes and clans who have adapted to the lush and humid environment. However, the region is also fraught with danger, as numerous deadly creatures call it their home and pose a threat to anyone who ventures too far into the wilderness.
