Welcome to the Kingdom of Estendril
[fieldbox="Introduction, goldenrod, dotted, 5, Helvetica"]
Whispers of a new thieves guild have made their way through the city of Aedrel. Some of the nobles prized possessions have gone missing with no trace. As the guards and victims search for answers, the citizens have begun to wonder who the next target will be. [/fieldbox]

The Kingdom of Estendril
Estendril, a relatively expansive kingdom on the western coast of the largest continent. It is a primarily human population, however most races are welcome.
Religion is a large part of life for Estendril, with the official religion being the monotheistic worship of Yvera, the Goddess of All. There are many religions throughout the world and these are tolerated but not really accepted.
Aedrel, the capital city
Aedrel is located on a large natural harbor, making it the largest port in Estendril. It's the seat of power for the ruling family, the Ilebris. King Lucius Ilebris is currently seated on the throne.
The city is split into different districts surrounding a central point.
The Merchant District located just inland (south) from the port and is home to a wide variety of goods ranging from basic necessities like salt and foodstuffs to the finest wines and lace.
The Crafter District is located next (east) to the Merchant District. Here you can find a craftsman in every known trade, and perhaps even ones just recently mastered.
Royal Road runs through all the districts but both begins and ends in the Courtyard of Kings which leads to the royal residence's main front gate.
Small temples dot the different districts for ease of access to residents and travelers alike, though the main temple is located in the middle of all the districts. This is so that Yvera is at the center of all Her children's lives.
The Voldari Ridge
The Voldari Ridge is the second largest mountain range on the continent. It's also the richest source of ores and gems in Estendril, which is one of the kingdom's highest grossing exports.
Due to the numerous mines, the area is infamous for the bandit gangs that hang around hoping for easy wealth.
The Wild Plains
East of the Voldari Ridge, the plains offer a great deal of space for both farming and ranching. Towns are starting to grow into cities as more people move in from the capital, the ridge and desert.
Rains occur year round, often with little notice as they tend to be brief showers.
Rumors and tales of the great beasts of old still circulate in the region. To grant peace and protection to the growing populace, the Iron Guard was established by the King and stationed throughout the Wild Plains.
The Ashen Desert
The Ashen Desert, often called the Fields of Silence, is so named because of the war which waged there millennia ago.
The lands once were rich fertile savanna much like the regions surrounding it but the area became so entrenched in gore, everything died. Eventually the rain stopped coming and the sun scorched the decaying land.
Not many lived here for several generations until more recent times. The desert has been receding in the past generation as the plains receive more rain. Many believe the Wild Plains will overtake the desert given more time.
Voldari Plains
In the west the lies the Voldari Plains, named for the mountains they run into, that meets the ocean with both beaches and sudden cliffs.
Those living on this side of the ridge mainly trade along the coast as the mountain passes are dangerous.

[fieldbox="Rylah Zokar, #6d1919, solid, 5, Helvetica"]♀ | Appears to be in her late 20s
Kayal (often called Fetchling)
At first glance Rylah's ivory white skin and deep violet-crimson hair distinguishes her from the rest of those in the tavern. The second glance reveals the light blue-green glow emitting from behind her darkened glasses. She is usually found sitting in the corner of a tavern, watching the patrons, as she sips on a hot tea. Once she stands to leave, her shorter stature becomes apparent, while the bulk of her thick clothing cloaks the lithe figure beneath. Though she almost always travels alone, there are times when she will join others. Those she joins tend to think she's callous and a touch condescending, when she actually talks to them. Rylan is best described as cold, sharp and distant with those she doesn't know.
Rylah's unusual appearance certainly sets her apart, and even those who are familiar with the Kayal view her as rare as most Kayal have yellow to yellow-green eyes. She does her best to avoid drawing unwanted attention via her hood, darkened glasses and traveling alone as much as possible. She's very guarded about her past and usually completely ignores that any inquiry had been made. She seems to be hiding from something in the Shadow Plane.

[fieldbox="Aerilyn Laeroth Tanithil, #19436d, solid, 5, Helvetica"]Addie | ♀ | A lady never tells
Star-touched (sometimes referred to as Empyrean)
Aerilyn is taller than average with a curvaceous build. Her long silver hair accentuates long frame and grants her a sort of otherworldly regalness along with her striking grey eyes. She has the snow white complexion of her kin making her seem somewhat frail to the humans around her.
To those who know her, Addie tends to be somewhat shallow and so absorbed in to what she's doing or needs that she doesn't seem to even notice anyone else. Even to those who aren't aquatinted with the Lady, it's not much of a stretch to see she's been a little more than spoiled. Though many are quick to forgive her on account of her family connections and her beauty. [More to come later]
Aerilyn Laeroth Tanithil is the second daughter of Lord Beiryndor Tanithil and Lady Amara, Duke and Dutchess of Voldari. Being born to such high station has afforded her with a very luxurious lifestyle, and being born second grants her freedom from the necessities of marriage. Addie has the uncommon opportunity to live comfortably on her family's money and do as she pleases to simply enjoy life. Many in the capital city have become accustomed to her pet-projects and seemingly random donations to shops she likes. Though she isn't afraid to "protect her interests"; in other words, those who cross her or upset her have been known to be thrown in debtors prison or socially disgraced.
