Title: Rebirth Separation

Author: jerno Milik

From the single city of Montor came sects of people. This division was aready well in progress before the city was to meet its doom. Even through the city was doomed some stayed. They moved down the mountianside and camped in tents and wagons waiting until the eruptions would stop so that they might return. To the west of the mountains had been breached with a road. A keep was built as a halfway point and as a fortress to keep out what ever lay beyond. The northwest section of this world is a huge forest that melds into jungle as it heads south. In the center of this area is Terort Skitas, The Temple of Knowledge.

Much of the information we have about Ilshenar is from books and scrolls found here. It appears this place was being built long before the city would fall. It resembles what Montor must have looked like before the city it met its doom. As people fled Montor some came here. They called themselves the Anskitas.

This loosely translates into the Awakening Knowledge. It was a place for study and refelction, Judging by the description of the mostly empty bookshelves one would guess this great library might have rivaled our own Lycaeum. More people then just Anskitas came west. The remaining people were not suited for days of study and contemplation.

Another scroll describes these people as "...Stoic and Strong. Seeking the Balance of All Things."

They headed south. In the south they found a race of Lizard Men that were less than friendly. The southwetern landscape watches jungle fade into swamp. At the most southern point is the home of the Lizard Men that would plague these people on a regular basis.

This may explain why the city was built. Looking more like a fortress, and rivaling Trinsic as walled cities goes, it is a sight to behold. They called it Mistas. To the west of the city are two towers that mark the entrance ways to what appears to be a huge underground keep. All the information we have would indicate that these were just and honorable people. Other people left Montor and headed south. We have yet to be able to explain some of the things found here. There is a city that sits on the water in southeast section of the world. These people are still a bit of an enigma. They do not use the secondary language at all.

They call their city Lakeshire, while the Anskitas refer to it as Mireg, Translating to Water-Home. The people in Mistas refer to the people there as "Lacking Will". All in all this area it is still very confusing. Mayhap as we find more information we can sort it all out. All around this area it would seem strange magicks are at work. In the center of the lake here is a citadel.

No one has yet entered to investigate but a passage found in a book in Terort Skitas describes those that have build it. "Est ven lem vas mani" Translates: "The ones seeking higher life".

One can only imagine what that might mean. To the north of Lakeshire is another oddity. A samll village built into huge trees and inhabited by what some have called Pixies. I find it hard to believe in such foolishness.

The southern expanse also holds mystery. There you find large cairn stones that seem to mark boundaries. One party reported seeing strange figures in the woods here. To the west of town is a ruined forge. It looks as if it was used to forge iron mined from the cave nearby.

Finally the last note on this area would be a large fortess built into the side of the mountian.

The Anskitas refers to it as "Death within the home of she that takes life". I fear for those that are the first to explore this place with it's skulls and bones piled high outside of its entrance.
