The northeastern continent of Iotigut is a diverse and complex land, shaped by its geography, cultures, and longstanding conflicts. It is divided into nine distinct territories, each home to unique societies and characteristics. The Scaleborn Empire dominates the continent both in size and mystique, spanning four kingdoms (Scaleborn, Naggroon, Valome Expanse, and Euryalborn League) nestled within an imposing mountain range. Enclosed by powerful magical wards that deter outsiders, the Empire thrives in isolation, fostering a self-sufficient civilization teeming with reptilian life, including ancient, prehistoric creatures. Its inaccessibility has left it largely untouched by foreign diplomacy, with only the Graydeep Kingdom of the dwarves successfully penetrating its defenses, though this has not led to formal relations.
Outside the Empire, the Republic of Bedrock and the Ironrock Federation represent the ingenuity and industriousness of dwarves and gnomes, respectively. The Republic, with its coastal cities and trade routes to the south and east, contends with the ever-present threat of piracy emanating from the lawless Pirate Cities of Cutlass Cove and Daggerfell, mixed havens for seafarers, smugglers, and brigands. Meanwhile, the Ironrock Federation, being landlocked, sustains its economy through trade with Bedrock, creating a dependable but limited commercial relationship.
Beneath the surface, the Vam-Zasu-Tee Collective, composed of three drow communities, operates in secrecy and aggression. This subterranean realm frequently raids surface settlements, driven by a hunger for slaves, wealth, and knowledge. Their centuries-long enmity with the dwarven Graydeep Kingdom has fueled an enduring war marked by mutual hatred and unrelenting conflict.
