—Geography & Influence:
Wedged between the Zeyrani Empire and the Southern Sea, the Duchy of Thorn is a dense, mist-laced realm of rainforests, deciduous woodlands, and rugged coastline.
Shielded by water on three sides (east, west, and south), it enjoys natural defenses but remains culturally and commercially linked to the western continents through maritime trade.
Foreign faiths whisper through its ports—Razran zealots, Enthoz moon-priests, even whispers of the Mythligh druids—making Thorn a crossroads of gods and gold.
Its true power, however, lies beneath the earth: vast deposits of "black iron", "ghost ore", and "emberstone" make Thorn the forge of the continent.
