The Plane of Fallen Fortresses: local information

The Ark floats above a grassy plain dotted with the remains of fallen fortresses, old and new, large and small, in all sorts of materials and styles. A river and a village lie about 6 miles to the east, a distant mountain range perhaps 150 miles to the northwest.

Nix

The name of the village on the river. It is one of many such villages that feed a larger city-state about 50 miles downstream.

Churrash

The local name of the river.

Gaerrix

The name of the human-dominated city-state down the Churrash. Famous for its Temple of the Sun, a stepped pyramid on a cliff. (Dedicated to Pelor.)

Other city-states in the region to the east, northeast, and south of the Ark's location. Legend has it that each was founded by the survivors of a fallen fortress.

Local name of the mountains to the northwest. Tribes of centaurs roam the foothills and the edge of the plains. Tribes of troglodytes live in the mountains.

Minaxis-Nochti

The great city in Lake Nochti, far to the south (about 400 miles). It rules a semi-aggressive empire.
