Notes on the Grazelands

Posted on March 11, 2023

The dominant cult in the Grazelands is Ernalda, with some 9250 initiates out of a total adult population of around 26,000. The Ernalda cult dominates the Grazelands like no place outside of…

The Mountain Wind

Posted on March 10, 2023

Orlanth is sometimes called the Mountain Wind, and I can assure you that when you are in the high mountains with the wind blowing, you can sense the divine. People often focus…

Peloria Climate

Posted on November 28, 2022

Peloria has a continental climate for the most part. Most of it is quite dry, with warm summers and cold winters. Without humans, most of Peloria would be grasslands and ripurian wetlands,…

The Guardian Hills

Posted on November 28, 2022

Swenstown, like most of Eastern Sartar, is in the rain shadow of the Quivin and Storm Mountains (and of course the Rockwoods as well). No gentle summer rains there – on average…

Cinsina Flats

Posted on November 26, 2022

Was driving through Sartar this afternoon. We were east of Jonestown in the Cinsina Flats. I have always pictured Sartar as a bit greener and more forested as well. it is early…

Saird and Lunar Tarsh

Posted on November 23, 2022

Thinking about Saird and Lunar Tarsh, there are far worse models than the Snake River Plain of Idaho. Grasslands, alluvial plains mixed with rolling hills, surrounded by a semibowl on snowy mountains.

Good Place

Posted on November 22, 2022

We zipped through the Good Place with the mountains of Dragon Pass in the distance. This is among the most fertile areas of Prax and you can see why it is fought…

Upland Marsh

Posted on November 22, 2022

We made a quick trek to the outskirts of the frozen Upland Marsh. We avoided the Blackthorn trees and were in daylight so no signs of vampires or ghouls. Pretty sure there…

Quivin Mountains

Posted on November 22, 2022

Spend a long day driving around Dragon Pass yesterday with the family. Here’s a great view of the Quivin Mountains from near Gold Lamb Hill. You can even see the valley of…

The Guardian Hills, near Swenstown or Toena

Posted on October 1, 2022

A few glimpses of a valley in the Guardian Hills, near Swenstown or Toena. Now Prax gets about 18 inches of rain and 21 inches of snow a year, with almost all…

The Plaines of Prax

Posted on September 24, 2022

Spent today out in the Plaines of Prax, checking out the short-grasses and the scrub (mainly manzanita and sumac). The grasslands appeared the Grey Age after Oakfed burnt the remaining forests. Didn’t…

Road vs. River in Sartar

Posted on June 10, 2022

One of the reasons that far more traffic is carried by Sartar’s Roads than by river is the steep slope of the Creek-Stream River. The Creek-Stream drops some 350 meters in about…

Eastern Sartar Photo Inspiration

Posted on April 19, 2021

For people trying to imagine the landscape of Sartar, here are some good pictures of eastern Sartar: Now western Sartar gets more rain and has more trees – this is in the…

Eastern Slopes of Sartar

Posted on April 7, 2021

If you want a good feel for the eastern slopes of Sartar, I took pictures today. You can even see Prax in some of these shots! Remember the base elevation of Clearwine…

Sartar map update

Posted on November 27, 2020

The Master Map is nearly done. All hail the mighty Matt Ryan for his tireless work on this (he’s put in many hundreds of hours of work on this). This clip represents about 8%…

Sartar Geography

Posted on October 22, 2020

Did you know that Boldhome is even higher up in the mountains than Wintertop Fort? Or that thanks to the proximity of Sky Fall Lake, Alone actually gets more snow than Alda-Chur?…

Quivin Mountains photo reference

Posted on August 7, 2020

A few glimpses of the Quivin mountains aka Bohinj in Slovenia. I am pretty sure I can see Hereva Mountain here! Most of the pictures were taken at 1700 meters and the…

A good visual feel for Prax

Posted on October 19, 2019

If you want a good feel for Prax, you need go no further than the Great Basin in the US. Prax really is the US Great Basin and Southwest (with elements of…
