Ausrune is the mystic who owns Phaedra. He doesn't exactly style himself as a leader, but more values the input of all in his land. He makes joint decisions with his herd, giving all an opportunity to have input. Ideally, he would like to live alone, but since he has gathered a herd to himself he tries his best to do well by them.
L109 is the home of Ausrune, his land Phaedra. He had hoped for a small and quiet land, but due to his alliances and its coastal border Phaedra is swiftly becoming an area of trade.
Along the coast to the north lays the docks, a central place of trade. It is a seasonal market, growing and shrinking with the flow of trade, and very few permanent structures. During the Summer and Winter months it is most lively, with an almost faire like atmosphere.
The docks have a fluidity to them. In busier months, floating temporary docks are added, as well as temporary housing. Normally in the form of tents with swaths of beautiful and vibrant fabrics, they are the trademark of a lively market. While Summer and Winter are the busy seasons, there is always trade coming in or out of Phaedra's docks. Autumn and Spring bring different yet no less important goods to the region.
Past the docks lays a great rainforest, fed by rains coming from the ocean and a great river that winds through. Few have braved permanent settlement within the rainforest. This is where Ausrune and his herd normally reside in the Spring, Summer and Autumn.
Great trees, lively animals, and old ruins make up the rainforest. Remnants of a time forgotten are found in half sunken temples, old buildings, and even the ruins of a castle within. Nature has reclaimed these places, melding with the old stonework. It is a place for the adventurous at heart, for it is rumored great treasures still lay within these ruins.
South of the rainforest is the desert. It is a barren land, where water is few and far between. While there are some wells, they are saltwater, and sandstorms make it very tough to combat the dehydration. There is next to no food, so crossing this expanse is not recommended without a guide.
The desert is vast, and dangerous. Without shade, without reliable water, and without food, finding oneself lost is a very bad idea. One oasis breaks up the endless desert, but without a guide finding it is near impossible. Have caution when entering the deserts of Phaedra, for you might not make it out in one piece.
Ausrune set out to get land to make Anevay proud. A Desert Mystic, it had been a task he wished to complete, to own a parcel of land in her domain. Little did he know, he would grow to have a family and end up being a major trade destination for the Alliance.
Keahi is Aursune's unofficial apprentice. Ausrune never wanted an apprentice, but in reality Keahi just didn't let him say no. She clings to power, and right now, Ausrune is the strongest power she knows.
Fire used to serve the Deities, and eventually found a home for herself in Phaedra once her service was done. She is a playful mare, with a sweet disposition. She often spends her time at The Docks, chatting up traders and others who come to visit.
Wind is the calm to Fire's energy. The mares had been friends long before their service to the Deities had ended, and Wind eventually found Fire again. Once she saw the life Fire had made for herself in Phaedra, Wind opted to stay as well.
Bhaltair is a merchant at the Docks, one of the few permenent shops. He specializes in exploration gear as well as rations for surviving the treks through rainforest and desert.
Belenus is stuck up, arrogant, and a guard. He constantly pushes authority, and was essentially shipped off to the desert because no one else wanted to deal with his attitude. Ausrune keeps him in line, however.
Alcinder is a jungle maniac, always running off in search of some new plant or animal. He loves to spend his time trekking through the wilderness and has a near impeccible sense of direction. Ancient jungle ruins are his favorite thing.
Corentin is a traveling doctor who studied in Torre. He normally stays near the Docks, waiting for those who may need his assistance. In his spare time he runs a small apothecary selling healing items and potions.
Antica and Balruhn run the main general store and shipping warehouses at the Docks. Between the two of them they keep order of all things shipped to or from. Antica deals with most of the social aspect, running the storefront.
Balruhn runs the general store and shipping warehouses with Antica at the Docks. Balruhn deals with most of the logistics, making sure product is making it to where it needs to go.
Cantrelle is a delicate lady and a songstress. She came to Phaedra a few years back and ended up never leaving. She enjoys the fair like attitude of the Docks, but spends a lot of time traveling with the herd and entertaining everyone with stories.
