The grass has singed into nothing but ash. The trees themselves are twisted with the fierce winds that the vortex spawned, their trunks crystallized in painful glass. The ground itself singes with a subtle smolder as in the sky, darkened clouds hover and orbit the dreadful churning portal in the air. The Maelstrom rages as its reach expands, roars tear through the air as the beat of wings match with the ever-furious beating of their frightened hearts.
It is called The Crossroads is because it is near a main road of transport and trade. The Crossroads is in a large, green and open field, incredibly abundant with rich greens and dozens of picturesque pieces of scenery. Rivers cut and cascade throughout the land, and a large ferry waits across the ford: yet another means of arriving there. To the opposite side of the landscape are large cliffs, some break into caves, surrounded by a small forest where wildlife is numerous. The actually building itself is a massive villa, or an estate rather, run by the eccentric family that owns the property. Their manor is welcome to all, for slight monetary compensation in exchange for the wonderful services that consist of luxurious suites, a room converted into a tavern, and an adjacent ballroom near the lavish foyer and across the way from the outside garden masterpiece. Claiming to have something for everyone, the manor will respect all who enter. Start a fight? Sure, why not. Maybe stay up late with the shady folk and take part in some high-stakes gambling, or join in the races that take place outside after dusk. Just try not to get thrown out, or get killed. It can ruin the festivities when there’s blood all over the wall.
A large mahogany board is posted in the town square and several parchments have been nailed to the wooded sign; each of these paper leaflets depicts Wanted signs, job openings, and etc. This is an OOC board.
A decently sized city where all may mingle with each other. Here there is a vast selection of bars, shops, medicines, and is overall a great place to meet friends, or enemies.
Loaii Mokoua is a massive island in the south seas of Era. All the other islands in that part of the world were formed volcanically, but there is no indication it was. The coasts are several hundred feet high, absolutely sheer and white as marble. It’s as though it was cut out from some other part of the world and set there. The closest land is several hundred nautical miles away, and the sea directly around the coast drops off with the same immediacy as the rock faces on the coast. The land is dominated by rolling hills and dramatic cliffs. Huge forests, providing a never-ending bounty of food and wood cover the southernmost fringes, while a dense jungle lies to the east. Dotting the land are ruins of a former age; and at night, the silhouettes of monstrous creatures stalk the plains.
