City Location: Located in the far north east of the vast region of Salvar, the city of Kylan rightly deserves the title "Port City of the Frozen North." But the title is misleading, as the city itself is located in the center of a vast natural bowl bay, protected on all sides from the harsh elements of Northern Salvar. The region only experiences a rather mild winter, with only three foot snow fall at the harshest of times. Temperature ranges from the low -20s to the high 30s. Its summer lasts from Late June to Early September with temperature ranges from the low 60s to the high 80s. The cities location grants a short spring and an even shorter autumn, but because of its mountainous location, it does not have to worry much over the growing seasons.

This bowl bay also allows the city to harbor vast fleets, be their either military in nature, or exploratory. The city also acts as a major hub for transporting goods, people and information to and from the newly founded colonies in the distant Blasted Lands.





Well, there it is. I would like to apply for the Kylan Mines region; the other two are open and up for grabs to any who want them. The city is an independent venture, run and controlled by the King and his appointed Minister (NPC's in other words). I hope this covers most, if not all, of it. Any questions, qualms or anything like that, just post as such.
