Thirshalon: The Ancient Scourge

A book that Oren stole from the Fallowfield Library right before leaving for Thirshalon. It is very old and has a lot of information on Thirshalon, although some of it appears to be outdated.

Biomes
Oren flips through the book and identifies a chapter on biomes. He sees towering mountains and never ending forests. He sees massive white lands that he doesn't recognize as being a thing, and a diagram that looks somewhat similar to the place you are in now, captioned with the word "swampland."

Swampland
"The swampland of Thirshalon is situated on a chain of islands that fill the widest sections of the Wandering Beck. Travelers are advised not to find themselves caught in the swampland at night, as most of the predators that live in the region are nocturnal, and there is no safe place to set up camp."

Skyglyph
No page in the book shows an inverted skyglyph; in fact; all the pages show the skyglyph as you have always seen it.

Map
The book labels this map as "Thirshalon." You notice it references the "Wandering Beck" that was listed in the earlier entry, and you see a series of swampland islands in the middle of it.

Wellspring
"The Five Wellsprings are a legend spoken of by the ancient peoples of Thirshalon. They were purported to be created by the Maker as a means by which to regulate the flow of aether through the world. They have never been discovered, but the devout believe them to be somewhere in the world, signs of the Maker's blessings unto our people."

Foothills
"The foothills are the most northerly of all biomes in Thirshalon. They are uninhabited, as their altitude leads to unforgiving temperature and weather conditions. The treeline ends south of the foothills; everything north is barren, rocky, and dead."

Ariglodo
"Ariglodo is the northernmost city in Thirshalon. It provides much of the wood needed for the other cities though its proximity to both the Foothills and the Wandering Beck. It is the coldest city owing to its proximity to the mountains."
