based on Shadow World ™ by Terry Amthor and I.C.E.
An in general unfriendly Isle, large mountains take up most of the living room of the Isle, and where there are no mountains jungle and swamps take over, it has lots of rumors that it serves as hiding place for pirates, bandits, evil magicians and a great curse., something that is partly true but not as bad as the rumors say.
The climate is very warm and moist, in the fall the great rains come for almost a month. the large jungles and swamps are filled with poisonous animal life, especially snakes. it is also one of the largest inhabitants on Jaiman for the dragon-like Shaskan.
HISTORY
Most of the history on Plasidar is quite resent, the city of Gūl is not more then 350 years old (young in Jaiman standards), build upon ruins of what was.
500 years ago a terrible plague swept over Plasidar, killed every living man, women and child, almost insane survivors whispered something about "Kadæn".
CAPITAL
Gūl, a city with almost 12.000 inhabitants, about half is Erlini and Shuluri, the rest is mostly humans of different nationalities. The city is located on a older city that was destroyed 500 years ago. The enormous harbor is the second largest in Jaiman, only passed by the harbor of Lethys. It is placed in a large Bay and very easily defended. The city is quite dirty even though the streets are paved, it is because of the enormous amount of travel in and out of it, several dozen of ships dock here every day, and the city is awake around the clock.
GOVERNMENT
The Duke of Plasidar (Plasidar was a duchy of U-Lyshak once and the title has survived since then), a Loari Trade Prince, Vandalan Ohvir, rules the city and most of the Isle.
Sidar has it's own king, Sidalion Maveh, one of three brothers that got into a war when their father (former ruler) died. One of his brothers fled to Jaiman and has built up a impressive pirate fleet, he is known as the White Swan aka. Jerel.
SYMBOL
Plasidar's symbol is a golden ship with white upper half and royal blue bottom.
OTHER CITIES
Sidar
A City with almost 7.000 inh. ruled by an elite of Dyari, only Dyari and their Erlini slaves live inside the city. The city is located deep inside a steep fjord, high on a cliff with only the harbor and defenses at the bottom, like a black jewel in the mountains. Down in the harbor there are a large number of human slaves, there as a workforce, getting goods up to the city from the ships. Sidar is a masterpiece in architecture, a little gloomy place but filled with high towers and spires, all streets are paved and clean. at night the city is lightened by thousands of gaslights in the corners, no slum areas anywhere, not even the slave quarters can be considered to be of low standard.
Nidar
A town with 1000 inh. Lives on fishing and woodworking. is located in the east side of the bay.
Aldurin
A village with 600 inh. living by hunting and fishing, lays on the south side of Plasidar.
ARMY
Neither Plasidar or Sidar has any army to speak about, they are located so that the only forces they need are Navy. Those ground units they have are marines, capable of fighting on both sea and land.
FLEET
Plasidar has a very impressive fleet, only comparable to that of the White Swan and Rhakhaan Imperial Navy.
