Grasslands - Razza
Razza is situated to the northeast of the continent of Primordia. Despite its size, Razza does not attract many adventurers, and thus has a reputation for being a sleepy town. The city is lightly defended, and its guards often fall victim to evil people who kill for sport. Still, if you are ever in need of a stiff drink, spending a few hours (and a few coins!) in one of Razza's pubs will do the trick.
Razza City is bordered on the west by a small prairie, on the south by the ocean, and on the north by forest. To the east of Razza lies more prairie, however it is a completely vacant of things of interest. Due to the area's climate, pleasant green grasses cover the prairie around Razza, hence the region is known as the Grasslands. A few castles lie secreted in the woods north and northwest of Razza, as well as several small huts and buildings. A path leads north through the forest for a while, but it is advised not to wander too far north, as the path becomes very maze-like.
The prairie west of Razza contains a small, nameless village, where you might meet some interesting locals. The prairie itself is blooming with herbs of all sorts that the careful observer may spot, and wild animals are frequently seen roaming about, munching on the sweet grasses.
A wide, paved road leads from Razza west to the prairie village,
then south along the coast towards the great city of Padorn. The road
is long, but is a very scenic trip. For those too weary to walk, a
coach makes the trip several times daily.
Visible at the northern edge of the plains are the most stunning
mountains ever seen: their distant, hazy peaks perennially snow capped and pointing menacingly at the sky. Recently, texts have been discovered that mention the mountains, referring to them as the 'Chandric Dentae' (pronounced: SHAND-rick DEN-tay) mountains. These words come from an ancient language, meaning 'Shark Teeth'. Early prospects indicate that the mountains are volcanic and teeming with savage creatures.
On another note, plans are being discussed for attracting more people to Razza City itself. If enough money can be collected, it is possible that a towering gothic cathedral will be built. There is also talk of expanding the harbour to accomodate a greater number of boats, hopefully improving trade.
