	\|Southwest of Venira, through the mountains, lies an idyllic region known as the Principalities. Occupied by a fiercely independent people, it has resisted any sort of consolidation, resulting in a land of numerous small city-states and colonies, all in contention over the agricultural bounty of the area. Once a subject of the Kingdom of Venira, as the threat from the chimaera grew, the people of the region rebelled, and Venira chose to shun the Principalities, leaving them to their own devices.		\|Southwest of Venira, through the mountains, lies an idyllic region known as the Principalities.

	Because of the fractitious nature of the area, governments rarely last longer than fifty years before splitting or merging as need be; as such, the settlements of the region tend to be remade on a regular basis. Alliances and squabbles between settlements are complex and difficult to keep track of, but this doesn't prevent outside forces from attempting to influence decision-making for their own benefit.

	===== ~~Coastal Town Merbord~~ =====		===== Glimweald =====
	~~The best known and most stable settlement~~ in the ~~region, currently dating forty years~~ of ~~establishment.

Unlike the farmland to the south, they focus mainly on foraging and plants that grow better in the woodland.

			An Imperial airship is rumoured to have gone down to the east of here.

			===== Stillmarsh =====
			The storms in this region have pushed a great deal of salt water inland; this is formed a swampy stretch of woodland that the locals have named Stillmarsh. Moving off the beaten path is difficult for most people, but the hovercraft can manage it more easily.

	~~Southwest of Venira, through the mountains, lies an idyllic region known as the Principalities.

Once a subject of the Kingdom of Venira, as~~ the ~~threat from the chimaera grew, the people~~ of ~~the region rebelled, and Venira chose to shun the Principalities, leaving them to their own devices~~.		Rumour has it that there's a ruin in the waters of Stillmarsh.

	~~Because~~ of the ~~fractitious nature~~ of the ~~area, governments rarely last longer than fifty years before splitting or merging as need be; as such~~, the ~~settlements~~ of the region tend to be remade on a regular basis. Alliances and squabbles between settlements are complex and difficult to keep track of, but this doesn't prevent outside forces from attempting to influence decision-making for their own benefit.		===== Farrough =====
			The most southern of the three major port cities of the northern Principalities, Farrough recently relocated after several seasons of terrible storms forced the old city under the surface of the sea.

	The ~~best known and most stable settlement in~~ the ~~region is~~ the ~~coastal town of Merbord, currently dating forty years of establishment. Though primarily home to fishermen and boat-people, rumours persist that Merbord is~~ a ~~nest of pirates which terrorize both the Queendoms~~ to ~~the north and the western coast of the Kingdom of Venira~~, ~~seemingly unfazed by~~ the ~~Ceaseless Storm~~. ~~Those who live here are a rough and harsh people, to whom only strength and coin matter~~.		===== Farrough Ruins =====
			The sunken remains of the previous city of Farrough; the city was largely abandoned in a hurry when it began to sink, so some treasures may remain here. Traversing the underwater city will require some ingenuity...

	===== The Ceaseless Storm =====		===== The Ceaseless Storm =====
	The sea to the west of the Comb is endlessly agitated due to a confluence of factors. Most people who venture out into the ocean stay to the south, crossing the inland sea between the Kingdom of Venira and the Principalities, or to the north, through the frigid waters leading to the Queendoms. This suffices to protect sailors most of the time, but on occasion, the storms grow intense, and enormous tidal waves form which crash upon the shores of the lands bordering the storm; the most severe of these have been known to wipe smaller settlements off the map, swallowing them up in the sea. Fears persist of a monster wave washing inland into Venira.		The sea to the west of the Comb is endlessly agitated due to a confluence of factors.
