Djarska Landsby
Kvasir leans back away from his stone table and conceals his old, battle-scarred and ink-stained hands into the folds of his robe. Welcome to my study, feel free to have a look around. Yes, it used to be my strategy room long ago as you can see the many trophies of the hunt and surveys of the wild game upon my lands. See that painting over to your left? That is a drawing of all of the lands of my estate. I made that in my youth after a long survey. It stretches for many leagues. No no, I no longer hunt, but leave that to my grandchildren to do. I now am a writer, counselor and grower of long beards. What land is this called? Well, Djarska Landsby in Cloudsbreak of course! It is a very small shard of the broken up world of Cloudsbreak. Cloudsbreak is the entire world we all live in separated by the borders of impenatrable mist. This "mist" is thought to be made of pure chaos. There are many other lands just like this on the other sides of the mists. We cannot travel or communicate through the mists here in the physical world you know, but in the dreamstate we can meet and speak with each other easily. The dream city and lands of Underlight is a mecca for us to exchange our cultures.
Oh, you want to know more about Djarska Landsby? Well, then let me show you and tell you about it. Come here to my map table and look at the map. Here, in the northeast is my estate. It is heavily wooded as the vast majority of Djarska is. There are may ponds and natural springs. This is why game such as deer and and fowl are pleantiful. Yes, there are bears and boar as well. They are the coveted of game to hunt. Most hunters use the bow and the spear to hunt with. Look beside my table there on the wall at my favorite weapons. That old spear with the broken tip was given to me by my father many years ago. I broke to tip when taking down a great old stag. Over there above the doorway you can see his 14 razor sharp points.
Looking back at the map, here down in the middle by this lake, is Djarska Landsby. In my native tongue landsby means village. This town is the main point of all activity in our lands. It is here where the landowners such as myself meet on a weekly basis and trade goods and stories. We squabble on who has more land and who takes care of the people living on their land the most. But we mostly boast of who is best at hunting or the nature of the mists and what it was like before the great split.
Since I'm an old man, I can't boast on my own hunting any longer. I have to wait for my grandchildren to come of age. Their father was killed by a bear that had contact with the mists and went into a rage. But, what I do boast about is the dreamcity of Underlight and of other peoples I meet there. Our culture here in Djarska Landsby is similiar and at the same time different from the other shards of Cloudsbreak. We are a competitive people and value skill at arms, but not if it is above honor. Truthfullness and respect are inherant in our culture.
