The Lands of Aesca

The Lands of Aesca

• The Jade Sea. The Sapphire Sea during the Dark Wind rushed through the waters with a loud storm caused it to turn into solid jade. Every living thing that was within the Jade Sea was turned into different fossils, perfectly preserved with many having different surfaces like fish made from opal for example. One can see waves as the sea froze and changed.
• The Amber Forest. The beautiful forests turned into solid amber when the Dark Wind blew through the trees, making wood an exceptionally rare and valuable commodity. The elves felt the hurt caused by the forests changing into solid golden translucent amber instead of being living things, and the spirits lost there impacted them greatly.
• The Sapphire Sea
• The Maw. It's said that in the middle of the Jade Sea is a vortex that plunges to the very depths of the ocean floor. Rumors? Or could there be something there? No one has come back from there as the abominations roam across the Jade Sea looking for food.

The March is set up similarly to a constitutional monarchy, where the elven Queen Aelfwynn acts as a non-party head of state however she is assisted by the two major Courts who make up her Privy Council in their respective seasons. This allows for the people of the March to have a continuity of the head of state who maintains history and tradition, and as Queen Aelfwynn is not a party to either of her Courts, it creates a sense of balance and allows those with different viewpoints to have the ability to climb the ladder of power.
