Jatua: Locales of the Continent of Jatua The western continent of Jatua is known for its mysterious forests and isolated inhabitants. It is connected to Gignes by a desert strip of land known as the Dune Bridge.

Large Locales
This is a list of the large locales of the continent of Jatua that span beyond any single listed region.

Dune Bridge
The Dune Bridge is the desert region that connects the continents of Jatua and Gignes. While the lands here are barren, it's geographical location make this isthmus prime real estate for any group strong enough to defend the chokehold. As such, generations of warrior clans and militaristic empires alike have held the Dune Bridge for a time. In the time of AB 1355, a group of hill dwarves have made the Bridge their home. These dwarves are commonly known as the Blackstone Clan.

Forever Forest of Bhan Ardu
Known most commonly as the "Forever Forest", these dense brush of northern evergreens spans for thousands of miles and covers the vast majority of the continent. There are several smaller woods within the Forever Forest that are home to specific groups of people. Some say that this forest is haunted, filled with dark necromancers who cast vile rituals. Others say the forest is enchanted and touched by fey creatures from a different plane. Either way, nobody truly knows what goes on in these woods.

Holtum
This small town rests roughly twenty miles north of Forever's Edge and is flanked by several small farms. Led by a man named Garthick, the town holds only fifty people, mostly farmers, women and children, and a handful of skilled warriors. The town consists of a few houses, a smithy, granary, an inn and the great central hall where Garthick and his aides reside. Recently (AB 1355, June) the town and surrounding farmlands have been repeatedly raided by groups of goblins. Many farmers have died trying to defend their families and Holtum itself has barely fought off a number of attacks.

Boulder Ridge
These massive rocks thrust out of the earth a hundred feet into the air, higher than the tops of the trees. From this height, one can see for miles in all directions. It has become a natural lookout point for anyone brave enough to climb its heights.

Cluda Hills
These hills jut up in various ridges and are relatively cleared of the pines of the Forever Forest. In some areas, the hills are very apparent, and one can easily walk to the top of the large ridges. In others, cliffs rise from the soft ground upwards of fifty feet.

Little River
The Little River snakes its way eastward through the southern edge of Bhan Ardu and meets its end at the eastern shores that divide Jatua and Gignes. During the fall and winter months, it lessens and freezes over. During the spring and summer months, the river swells swallows several feet of its shores.

Burnt Tree
This marks the spot where a group of adventurers rested the night along the Conifer Road. Magmus is to blame for the fallen tree, and now it stands only as a charred reminder of when the Red Mage set up camp for the night (AB 1355, June 4). One might assume that there will be several more burnt trees before Magmus is done.

Forest Goblin Hideout


Hidden on the northeast corner of the Cluda Hills, this dark and labyrinthine cave serves as what seems to be the main force of goblins who have been raiding Holtum and its nearby farmlands. Its entrance leads from a small meadow of bluebells.

Conifer Road
This dirt path winds and stretches over twenty miles through the Forever Forest to connect the towns of Forever's Edge and Holtum. Bending around ridges, creeks, and woods, the path is ten feet at its widest and a few feet wide in many areas.
