Morra

The Island Morra is filled with many different terrains. Fertile valleys, towering forests, swamplands, a wild sea and ever-changing desert. The seas around Morra are known to be horrific, hurricanes can build rapidly from the stillest waters, and what lies beyond is a great mystery. The island's watery heart is the Sea of Iveen, which can be even more treacherous than the oceans surrounding Morra. The longest river is the Annwyn River, which can be found in Sorlamir, and flows from the Iron Shoulder Mountains and fills the Sea of Iveen. The most dominate mountain range is the Iron Shoulder Mountains; the island's highest peak at 10,000 feet.

 

Morra is blessed with moderate summers and winters. There is plenty of rain, far too much in the west which creates bog land, with almost no rain in the northeast, where the hottest temperatures are recorded.

 

The Morran wilderness is home to numerous barbarian nations. They support themselves by hunting and gathering, and generally migrate with the herds as they move with the seasons.

 

There are three declared kingdoms on the continent of Morra and all of them are based around a feudal government. They are the Kingdom of Rein, the Meltarran Kingdom and the Kingdom of Sorlamir. Rein was the first of the three to be founded and is the most populated. The Kingdom of Rein encompasses the southern end of Morra and is bordered on its west side by a vast swamp and bogland known as the Murkwood.

 

Over the mesas of the Iron Shoulder Mountains to the northeast of the Kingdom of Rein is the Meltarran Kingdom, the largest of the three, but also the most unsettled. The Meltarran Kingdom encompasses a vast region of plains and low-lying hills that are thick with the oldest forest of Morra, which the Meltarran people refer to simply as the Great Meltarran Forest. The Meltarran Kingdom is bordered on its eastern end by the ocean, and its western end by the Sea of Iveen. To the north, the plains give way to the sandy dunes of the Dekonik Desert.

 

Across the Sea of Iveen, bordering the northern edge of the Kingdom of Rein, is the youngest of the three kingdoms, the Kingdom of Sorlamir. The Kingdom of Sor'lamir is forested with a mix of aspen and evergreens that spread over the hilly and rugged terrain. The kingdom itself is surrounded on three sides by the Iron Shoulder Mountains and the land within is kept fertile by the swiftly flowing Annwyn River that makes its way down from the shoulder to the Sea of Iveen.
