The Geography
I. The Lay of the Land
Every region across the world presents its own unique tapestry of environmental challenges, historical ruins, and rugged landmarks. Navigating through the wilds requires a keen eye and deep respect for the terrain. From untamed mountain passes to forgotten lowlands, the physical landscape can be just as unpredictable and challenging to traverse as the cutthroat political negotiations that divide rival factions.
II. Regional Hardship & Terrain
The physical makeup of Kemet is defined by its stark geographic contrast. Expanses of fertile river valleys quickly give way to arid deserts or overgrown wilderness where civilization has not yet taken root. Traveling through the world demands practical survival skills and experienced navigators who know how to read weather patterns, manage resources, and guide a party safely through unforgiving country.
III. Frontiers & Landmarks
Beyond the roads and dirt paths lie old, decaying landmarks left behind by bygone eras. Shattered fortresses, ancient stone markers, and overgrown outposts sit silent over the landscape. While you may occasionally encounter erratic wild magic pockets, the vast majority of your journey will be defined by conventional wilderness survival. The Cartographers Guild works tirelessly to chart these landmark chains, offering a baseline reference for any company brave enough to venture forth into the unknown.
Crossing the spaces between safe havens is no simple task. Supplies, navigation, fatigue management, and defensive positioning all play a role in whether a venture succeeds or is lost to the elements. Familiarity with basic survival techniques is crucial before embarking across the world.
