In the far south, beyond the reach of Ticonderos’ tallest, most treacherous mountains, lies the mysterious and scorching heat of the Kingdom of the Alo Pagtria.

Ticonderos is dominated by a range of perilous mountains that carve their way out of the northern tundras and stretch all the way into the southern desert, their huge, unforgiving crags reaching their claws near to every coastline on the continent. As such, precious little area is left for forests, plains, savannahs, or other more …

The Dragonscarred of Ticonderos, Pt. 2 – Kingspeace, the Tattered Heart of a Crumbling Continent
