Egorial

One of the three founding islands of the Empire, Egorial provided the raw wood and skilled labor to create the Empire’s first ships. A lush island, a group of druids and rangers known as the Ancient order of the Palm, rule over the island. The island has a good mix of races including humans, elves both high & wood varieties, A small community of hill dwarves, and tinker gnomes and some forest gnomes. very small numbers of the other races can occasionally be found here, but rarely were they born on Egorial. The hill dwarves and tinker gnomes toil away in the ship building communities of Rhene and Rhayada. They are master crafters of the metal parts, tools and equipment ships need. Unlike most of the older islands within the Empire that have forests, Egorial is one of the few to still be heavily timbered. It is said that the druids guard an ancient secret that makes the trees grow 20 times faster than anywhere else in the world. There are a couple of smaller trade ports on the island, but by far the shipyards at Rhene and Rhayada are the largest.

A small island off the northwest coast of the main island is considered part of Egorial’s land. This island called Argoerth, is a special preserve of animals from around the Empire. Select members of the Order of the Palm reside here to care for the animals and occasionally allow visits of dignitaries or select young members of the order who might benefit from first hand knowledge of the animals of the Empire.
