Trakkar (Continent)

Named for the ancient, long-dead empire of the same name, Trakkar was the first continent to develop intelligent humans (but not sentient life - see Naldor). Made up mostly of deserts, Trakkar is a land of ancient ruins and the treasures within. There are few Nations on Trakkar, and those that exist are generally weaker or smaller than those of Waters or Naldor.

Terrain
The majority of Trakkar is desert, dominating the south-western part of the continent. This desert is hemmed in by the Spine mountains, which separate the desert from vast, dry savannah-like plains. The far south-west of Trakkar, once a prosperous peninsuala was sunk by the Arrival of Argus.

The Dragonspine Mountains
Deep within the desert, to the south of Marabar, lies a small mountain range. in 818 AT, these mountains were revealed to be the spines of an Archdragon. See Rise of Lac.

Marabar
Perhaps the best known nation of Trakkar, the city-state of Marabar claims no land but its own. However, its position over the oases of Trakkar in the centre of the Trakkar Desert has made it the premier trade city of the continent, if not the world.

Argus
Almost as well known as Marabar, the fantastical city of Argus sits as an island off the western coast. It returned to Marynyl in 820. Though its return flooded and destroyed the kingdom of Quelanther, none have dared raise a sword against teh technologically- and magically - advanced nation.
