Skirrik was one of the kingdoms in the middle of Isen's main continent. It was conquered by Arkvale in 1572 AC.
The Skirrinese people are known for their fishing expertise, their love of seafood, and spicy dishes.
It is also the leading supplier of blood weed, a popular recreational drug used throughout Isen.
Lakeside (Skirrik's Capital)[]
Lakeside is a large, sprawling city on the western coast of the Omega Lake.
It has a bustling port and fishing industry.
The Omega Lake[]
The Omega Lake is the largest inland body of water in all of Isen. It borders the kingdoms of Skirrik, Farryane, and Brus, with most of its shoreline in Skirrik.
The lake provides much of the food for all three bordering kingdoms, and allows for goods to be shipped effectively between them.
There are frequent sightings of large creatures coming up from the depths of the lake, but there have been no fatal or even harmful incidents on record.
The Omega Lake has even spawned a religion of its own, with many worshipping a "Lakefather", an unseen being who is allegedly responsible for all the prosperity the lake brings. Some thing the Lakefather is a representation of Leahmin, the god of community.
Wistal[]
Wistal is a medium sized town known to be fairly quiet and settled. A good family place.
Wistal is also home to the prestigious adventuring school known as The Wistal School for Wannabe Adventurers. Families move closer to get their children into this school to get a great start, whether they end up being adventurers or not, the education is highly prized. There are also scholarships awarded to children all over Isen. Who is sending these invitations and how they select the children is a mystery and is speculated on often.
Nearby is an extensive system of caves called the Wistal Caverns.
The outskirts of the town is the location of the perpetually spooky old home Schwartzkonig Manor, where the Lady Elanor Schwartzkonig and her beautiful young daughter Ellayuuka perished in strange circumstances.
