In the Spiral there are worlds more than you can imagine! Several are known:
Skull Island:
A Pirate's Oasis!
The isles of Skull Island offer much to entice merchants and
colonists: exotic fruits, spices, and timber draw high prices in markets across
the Spiral, offering a fortune to any captain brave and resourceful enough to
ship or smuggle them out. In the deepest jungles, crumbling ruins stand as
remnants of a forgotten past. These ruins are the most dangerous places in
Skull Island, but also the most tempting - the crumbling temples are adorned
with solid gold!
Monquista:
Home of the Monquistador Monkeys
Long an inconsequential, isolated backwater in the outer rim
of the Spiral, Monquista recently became one of the preeminent powers in the
Spiral, almost overnight, thanks to the massive infusion of gold and wealth its
inhabitants pried from the ancient ruins in their colony of Skull Island.
Monquista is home to a race of diminutive Monkeys, the Monquistans, who make up
for their slight statures with massive egos and harsh tempers.
Valencia:
Something is Brewing in Valencia
Arguably the greatest imperial power of the Spiral, Valencia
is home to the Unicorns, a vibrant people with an ancient, rich culture. Many
of the great discoveries that led to sky-ships and the age of sail were made
here - Valencia stands to this day as a center of arts and learning, where
scholars and masters from all over the Spiral gather to push the boundaries of
knowledge and talent. Marco Pollo, Cowpernicus, Da Finchi - the greatest minds
and artists the Spiral has ever known did their greatest work in Valencia, and
the entire Spiral is richer for their labors.
Cool Ranch:
The Wild Frontier
If there is a bright center to the Spiral, Cool Ranch is the
realm it is farthest from. A stark, beautiful realm of rocky islands and
seemingly endless skies, Cool Ranch is a land of desert, cactus, and
tumbleweeds, a wild realm where civilization can be as fragile as a cool
breeze.The proud Bison tribes and the nefarious Toads are the original natives
of Cool Ranch - all of the frontier's other inhabitants came here from
someplace else. The proud Stallions, distant cousins to the Unicorns of
Valencia, came to Cool Ranch long ago and built missions and villages throughout
the skyways, but their heyday is long over, and now only Santo Pollo remains.
The most recent arrivals are the Chickens, Cranes, and other Fowl who came to
Cool Ranch from parts unknown - they rarely talk about their homeland,
describing it only as "Back East."
MooShu:
A Great Power of the Spiral
This ancient, mysterious realm is both one of the most
storied kingdoms in the Spiral; and one of the most beautiful- a land of scenic
mountains, bamboo forests, and serene skies. The citizens of MooShu are famed
as skilled artisans, honorable warriors, and great philosophers, and even
though MooShu has no colonies or empire, she is still rightly considered one of
the Great Powers of the Spiral.
Marleybone:
A Growing Empire
One of the great naval powers of the Spiral, Marleybone is a
thriving center of industry and innovation. The center of a mercantile empire,
Marleybone has colonies in Skull Island, Darkmoor, Krokotopia, and Zafaria, and
their trading companies sail the entire Spiral. Marleybone enjoys strong
treaties with MooShu, and has established full colonial rule over the exotic
realm of Rajah. Their economic supremacy is second only to the great Merchant
Families of Valencia, though they would never admit it.
Aquila:
Home of the Eagles
Few travelers have visited the realm of Aquila, but those
that have found a bright, beautiful paradise of gleaming skies and mountainous
isles, where mighty heroes and terrible beasts abound. Aquila is a land out of
legend, of proud city states united under the rule of an Emperor, home of the
mighty Eagles.
