County of Thelyon

The County of Thelyon covers a large area of the Northern half of Shay-Elliri. It borders in places with the Talanese Empire, as well as the Province of Shay, the Duchy of Irien, and the Duchy of Arlosa.

The lands are full of rolling hills and mountainous terrain. In better years, this was prime sheep country.

Geography
The County of Thelyon is predominantly comprised of once-lush fields and mountainous terrain. Many valuable mines are located here, supplying the kingdom with metals and gems.

Citadel of Karasch
This Citadel, crafted centuries ago, stands as a remnant of a time long past.

Caves of Kalos
A mining community built inside of a massive cave system. According to legend, a priest of Morraine led the citizenry of Kalos into the mountains to flee from Goblin. After three days of flight, they came upon the caves and somehow lost the goblins. Giving praise to Morraine, they settled here and turned it into a thriving community.

At some point, Dalanthar was brought here by a follower of Morraine and lost to a Gelatinous Cube that lurked in the tunnels.

Velarda
The capital of the County of Thelyon. The Count Artemis Thelya has his seat of power here.

Ruins of Old Velarda
Once protected by the dragon Velardakothran, Old Velarda was destroyed approximately 400 years ago when he went mad and hungry for power. According to legend, he razed the city to the ground and ruled over ash and destruction for 20 years until a group of brave adventurers traveled to his lair. Although they were successful, they were never seen again as the ruins collapsed during the battle.

Now, a slum city has been built over the ruins, beyond the walls of Velarda. The poor do their best to ignore the ruins and stay away because things sometimes come creeping out from the darkness. Because those slain by Velardakothran were never buried, it is assumed by all that the ruins are teeming with the dishonored dead.

Arzeck's father once explored a small portion of the ruins before being driven away by the creatures within, although he managed to take a few pieces of artwork, as well as the Momento Magicka that Arzeck uses today.
