Ophir

Overview

Natural borders such as the Tybor River to the north and great mountains to the south serve as bulwark against likely routes of invasion. Ophir’s opulent capital oversees the banks of the Tybor River, one of the most magnificent in the world. Impressive castles and walls where the kingdom’s borders are otherwise exposed augment such geographic features of Ophir. Yet the true bounty of Ophir’s location is not defensive but monetary — Ophir is rich beyond all measure in gold, silver, and in the produce of its diamond mines.
