Known World

The Known World is the geographic area that the Homeless Heathens are familiar with the existence of. Though we know that more world exists, it's all unknown world, and therefore not part of the known world.

What we know of the world consists of a continent, bordered by water on three sides, and a nigh-impassable mountain range, the Spine Mountains, on the eastern fourth side. To the northwest of the continent is a large, historically pirate-controlled island called Gildart. South of that is the ruins of the kingdom now referred to as Ruined Sea. Further south is the Isle of Dragons.

Toward the middle of the continent is the small community of Old Town. On its outskirts lie a goblin cave, and a few days north, a dragon temple. North of that is Farmdale.

In the northeast corner of the continent is the city-state of Thrownin, a chaotic good city which prizes freedom above all else. It has very active guilds of thieves and assassins. Its geography places it at the mouth of the Orcish Pass, the only known path through the mountains to the east and the unknown world. To the west of Thrownin lies Slaver's Bay, a lawful evil city-state diametrically opposed to Thrownin on the issue of slavery. Hostilities tend to ensue frequently, given that Orcish and Tiefling slavers tend to bring their "merchandise" straight through Thrownin on their way from the Orcish Pass. Ten days' ride south of Thrownin is the Mirkwood Swamp.

The southern end of the continent is a temperate zone, known for its beautiful expanses of foliage and wilderness. Two city-states lie down there, one lawful good, the other neutral good.

We would like more unknown world to become known world. We are adventurers.
