Gale

Ruler:
Empress Spiwynn is the current ruler of Gale. Her royal majesty is known to saunter into any room wearing fine velvet clothes and an overly jeweled crown. She has a child-like thirst for knowledge and innovation, and loves to push people's buttons for the pure fun of it. She tends to care more about self preservation than enforcing law and order in her realm.



Geography:
The continent of Gale isn't the most inviting of places. Known for its unbearable heat, and lack of protection from the elements, the Fiery Desert covers most of the land. The Illustrious Market is known as the largest trading center in the world, and Spiwynn University is home to the most curious minds alive.



History:
Most histories of Gale are virtually erased when the latest ruler takes position (usually thanks to a coup). Cities and landmarks change names, and old records are purged. Before Empress Spiwynn ruled Lord Alcar, and Supreme Pyron before him. So, even the title of the ruler changes at whim.

Gale is always known for breeding thieves and other unsavory characters. Anyone looking for a hard life of solitude is attracted to the terrain, including a couple well-known monasteries. There is also plenty of wealth to go around, thanks to the various criminal organizations, and merchants alike that run the Illustrious Market.
