The Isar Kingdom

The Isar Kingdom is located west of Idear and north of Acir. Its capital is Pyk.

Geography and cities
The Isar Kingdom stretches from Tavor in the south all the way to Crownnorth in the north.

It is largely dominated by two mountain ranges, the Ail-Hertha and the Northam Heights. South of the Ail-Hertha is the second largest lake of Arcanium, Lake Aluhne.

The southernmost city of the kingdom is Tavor, built on the delta of the Daltos river. The city mainly trades with Crossing's Jaw in Acir and the other cities on the west coast of Isar.

Almost straight east of Tavor, across the water is the city of Norbury. Together with Isev, they control most of the traffic that comes and goes from the Inner Sea to the Endless Sea.

A bit further north are the Raetten Peaks, a rather small mountain range that engulfs the city of Shipton and where the Falm and the Rodel find their sources. There are several passages through these mountains that allow for fast travel between Shipton and Holden.

The Falm and Rodel eventually end up in Lake Aluhne, around which the cities of Holden, Vorstad and Lugstad are built. These cities all benefit from the resources being brought in from the many rivers that end up in Lake Aluhne, the biggest of them being the river Luhne. Many rivers who find their source in the Ail-Hertha end up in the Luhne, making it the largest river in the realm.

East of Lugstad is Isar's capital Pyk. Nearly all resources gained from Isar's southern part end up in Pyk, making it one of the greatest trade centers of the world.

To the northwest are the cities of Airdale and Penrith who control all travel west from the Ail-Hertha. On the east side of the mountains, that travel is controlled by Woodrow and Ulester.

In the middle of the mountains, the city of Highwyrm can be found, built near the source of the river Wyrm. It is an ancient city that was once the capital of a long forgotten kingdom. Its isolated location and the height it was built on, make the city very high to reach for those who do not know the passages leading there. It is also the home to the Second Swords, a warrior's guild founded by Arthus Harwell.

In between the Ail-Hertha and the Northam Heights lays Sallon's Gap, bordered by the Myrkwood and the Forest of Salar. Going from west to east, the cities of Nordem, Folgann, Vorna, Mothblade and Carthand can be found as well as many rivers.

The Northam Heights are surrounded by the cities of Erast, Crownnorth, Shaba, Keralis and Kor. Shaba is one of only three cities allowed to trade with the northern tribes, the other two being Sandos and Setha.

Political
Similar to Acir, Isar is ruled by a single king and his council. The current king is Beran Silkas.

Isar however is not divided into provinces. Instead, each major city has his own region which the council of the city is responsible for. These councils are made up of people elected by the city's citizens every five years. The city council only answers to the king's council or the king's respresentative of he or she should visit the city.
