This blog is dedicated to the fictional world of Sallestreii. This world is mine. You will not find it in books, videogames or real-life. it is all in my head, or on this blog. (I made this blog and this world so I have something to write about. Please correct me if you see any mistakes in texts or grammar.) personal blog: Mesozoic-punk.tumblr.com

The lands of Sallestreii: Lofander.

Lofander.

In the southwest of Sallestreii is the land of Lofander, home to the humans. Lofander is filled with lush rainforests and dangerous creatures. Most of Lofander has not been explored yet, either because the jungle just got too thick, or the creatures killed off all intruders to their forests.

           Due to the thick jungles, most inhabitants stick to the coastline. This has made the humans excellent sailors and pirates. Most cities on the shoreline are named after the countless gemstones that have been brought to Lofander by sailors and explorers.

           The search for adventure is in the human blood. They aren’t scared to get their hands dirty to reach their goals, as they have shown countless times throughout history. Even though most humans are involved in shady business, they have brought civilization to Lofander. Before the towns on the coasts started, the humans lived in tribes, fighting for survival and control.

 Topography.

·         Port Diamond - Lofander’s capitol. The small islands off the coast of Port Diamond are filled with gems and riches, this made Port Diamond rich very quick. The richest of seafarers life here.

·         Port Sapphire – Port Sapphire is most commonly used as a docking port for sailors who need to restock. The town is old and most building are covered in plants and woodrot. Some of the biggest brothels of Sallestreii can be found here.

·         Port Emerald – This port is used to for import and export with the other Lands, mainly with Muridae. Port Emerald is next to Port Diamond the richest coastal town.

·         Port Ruby – This port is most popular with pirates. The many taverns along the boardwalks are always filled with the most wanted criminals and pirates. It might not look like it, but Port Ruby is incredibly rich.

·         Hunt – Hunt gets its name from the many hunting grounds in it’s area. Big game comes from all over the jungle to drink from Bonebreak Lake, making them easy target for the many hunting groups. Hunt is a big city, but that’s only because of the distance between de buildings.

·         Bonebreak – Bonebreak used to be a checkpoint for the Lofander Army, these days it’s a small settlement. It is still used to train some of Lofander’s finest footsoldiers.

The lands of Sallestreii: Parandeh.

Parandeh.

In the north-east of Sallestreii lies the land of Parandeh, it is inhabited by the Avisan. The Avisan are a race of birdlike humanoids. They all walk upright and have claws on their wings that are used like human hands, this however, does not limit their ability to fly. When talking to other Avisan, they make sounds that other races normally hear from birds. When the Avisan talk to other races however, the do not open their mouths. They have a magical ability to make their voice heard in the minds of the beings around them. There are 6 types of Avisan to be found in Parandeh:

·         Simorkh –  This birdlike humanoid bears a resemblance to the Bearded Vultures that can be found in the Parandish mountain ranges. However, the Simorkh walks upright and can grow up to 2,50 meters tall. In all of Sallestreii there is only one family of the type Simorkh, the Royal family of Parandeh. Be it male or female, only one Simorkh child will hatch from its egg every generation. They will be raised to follow up to their father or mother and when their time comes to rule over Parandeh, the old king or queen will turn to ash. Simorkh have (unlike the other types of Avisan) the ability to mate with all other Avisan (Except for the Terrorri). The average lifespan of a Simorkh is 120 years.

·         Taloni – This type of Avisan either shares it’s looks with the Golden Eagle that can be found in the forests of Parandeh and Traan or with the Bald Eagle that can be found all along the coastlines of Sallestreii. It is stronger than most other Avisan, for that reason they are most commonly used in the Parandish Army. They are also excellent hunters. Avisan Taloni can become 2 meters tall and they have an average lifespan of 120 years.

·         Sobh – This Avisan can resembles either the barn owl or the Long-eared owl which are both found in the forests of Parandeh and Traan. Most Sobh are Scholars, Philosophers, Doctors, writers or scientists. They are also used in the army for battle tactics and stealth operations. The Sobh can also become 2 meters tall, their average lifespan however, is 140 years.

·         Meshki – The Meshki look like common crows. They have a bad reputation and are heavily discriminated by the “higher” Avisan. Most Taloni and Sobh see the Meshki as nothing more than filthy thieves and beggars. Meshki are rather short for Avisan, they usually grow somewhere between 1,60 and 1,80 meters tall. They have an average lifespan of 90 years.

·         Sefeed – The Sefeed share a resemblance with the common seagull. They share the Meshki’s reputation of being thieves and beggars. The Sefeed usually grow 2 meters tall and they have an average lifespan of 110 years.

·         Terrorri – These flightless Avisan are seen as savages. They share their looks with the Terror-birds that can be found in the land of Lofander. The Terrori commonly live in nomadic tribes. They are excellent hunters and warriors as they trust on sheer power. This type of Avisan can’t be reasoned with. Not even the other Avisan can understand these terrifying creatures. The Terrori can grow almost 3 meters tall and have an average lifespan of 60 years.

Geology.

Kühderakht is Parandeh’s capitol. Kühderakht is nothing other cities however, for it is a mountain. On the side of the mountain there are openings to the giant cave system inside. These caves form the houses to the upper class Avisan.

On top of the mountain is a giant hollowed out pine tree which serves as the Royal Palace. Or as the Avisan say; The Royal Nest. Here, the Simorkh sits on its throne, guarding over their kingdom.

           Around the foot of the mountain runs the river “Aval.” On the other side of this river are small villages inhabited by the Meshki and Sefeed.

To the east of Kühderakht is a mountain range, no Avisan lives here, not even the Terrorri. Most Avisan find the mountains too cold.

Apart from a village here and there, the rest of Parandeh is filled with Taiga forests. The Terrorri live primarily in the south, they do however live on the Island of “Taleyah.” This island is mostly inhabited by the Meshki, Sefeed and Taloni. The Taloni live on Taleyah for the hunt, for Taleyah is filled with creatures that are native to Taleyah.
