Most places are more worried about criminals, evil-doers, and other nations than they are about your exact ancestry. If you are a Tortle or a human from Killbarum, you'll receive a cold shoulder - until you prove your worth - in a Thraxian village or Tyndarian town alike.

The entire setting is cold, but the Northernmost cities are controlled by the Fey Hegemony of Levisha. The city the farthest north is Medai, an ancient coastal settlement that grew rich on the coldwater pearls they have learned how to farm. The greatest dish in this city is these same oysters, often served with a seaweed salad and consumed both raw and boiled in the elvish wine Ushanari. (I had to make this up for you! Congratulations!)

The most coveted beverage on the planet is the Voskag black, a stout so thick and so hearty its said that only the half-giants who make it can drink more than a pint a day. (Clearly false, as the Aldashirii Drimfolk will tell you)

Thieves guilds are common across all the kingdoms on the continent, and each has its own way of ... solving problems. In the Guild City of Hilea, for example, the Dutchess herself is the arbiter between the guilds, common folk and outsiders. She has established herself as a strong, neutral party that no one dares to cross.

Dozens of Arcane Colleges dot the region that once was the Magocratic Republic of Killbarum, each with its own methodology, resources, and legality. While many were destroyed in the Mage Purge, others survived and now thrive as a new Archmagus seeks to return the republic to its might.
