Isle of Khan

A wild and singular place in the world of Palmyra. Over the millenia, the entirety of the three continents — Dru, Vaer, and Panala — have been explored, documented, and settled.

Khan was a whole new frontier for the people of the known world when it was “discovered” by the Palmyra Trade Company, only 43 short years ago, before the onset of the War of the World.

It is a land of gorgeous red rock desert, lush wetlands, and vibrant scrublands and savannahs. Its ecosystems are an amalgam of those found on earth in a number of continents, but largely inspired by Australia’s outback and the Mohave Desert in the southwest of the United States.

Over the last four decades, the Royal Vega States and the P.T.C. have worked with the ruling locals to carve out their own colonies and holdings. The Ophidian Kingdoms, which most of the rest of the Isle belong to, are mostly kept free of the peoples of the mainland.

Game aspects are a part of the FateCore game system. They are invoked in-game for various effects. The aspects that are always in play on Khan are:

—The Old West is an Unforgiving Time

—The Untamed Wilds of Khan

—A Strange Feeling in the Air

The beating heart of the settler’s efforts. The town of the Uncanny Valley is civilized enough, though they do tend to like things a little rough.

The sprawling wetlands that stem from the slow seep from the Rhile river as it runs south to the sea. It is a lush but dangerous terrain, filled with water-bound predators and strange, poisonous plants.

And never too far off are the denizens of the Ophidian Gator tribes, the hulking reptilian citizens of Khan.

The game aspects that are always in play on the Rhile Wetlands are:

The Uncanny foothills surround the valley on most sides, though their largest concentration is found directly north. With miles of foothills leading up to jutting, massive Uncanny Mountains, these hills are filled to the brim with resources begging to be plucked from the earth by those brave enough to face the dangers that the hills pose.

And surrounding the hills like the mists themselves are the legends that have spun out about the so-called "haunted mountains". A place where monsters dwell. Where people disappear. Where folks see things that ain't rightly there. And where the rainbow storms seem to stream from the most commonly.

Probably just normal mountains though.

The aspects that are always in play on the Uncanny Mountains Are:

-Lush but harsh mountains

-The weather is unpredictible

-Animeon seem to like it here

-Strange formations, and a stranger feeling
