Introduction to Another World

Before I start talking about individual countries, I thought it might be useful to know a little about the world itself.

It's a fantastic place called Montell. Here, have a map.

(Please note that the map is not finalized and subject to change in the future; however, this is a pretty good idea of what the finalized map will look like.)

Montell has a rather strange climate. The overall temperature of the planet is cool and rain does not fall very often. Cloud cover is dense and gravity is low enough for large chunks of rock to float on it. Some nations have learned how to extract water from the clouds and live that way; others are at the mercy of infrequent rainfall.

The overall climate of the world is "cool and dry." There are deserts and tundras but you'd be hard-pressed to find a rainforest. Temperate forests are common.

The political and cultural structure of the world is quite difficult to explain in one post. Tomorrow, we'll start our explanations with the continent in the upper-lefthand corner: Estoria.
