Thygamus Province

4) Thygamus Province lies directly north of Tre'Volos, and contains the first part of the major caravan route North to the Suda Kingdoms.

The Taek Shire, a Mnoken village, is here. Caravans will go through Taek Shire on their way to the Suda Kingdoms. Many Green Mnoken, and several other tribes come here to trade with each other and the traveling caravans.

Lake Iso is supposedly the home of this world's Loch Ness Monster. Although very rare, it is possible that you might get a glimpse of the famous creature, but most visitors just fish and swim.

Brotbuckle is a city of Giants. The Giants of various types spend so much time fighting each other, that they rarely leave this area. There is a sign on the crude road that leads to the city of the Giants warning visitors not to proceed.

Although Zirkus lies directly across the old caravan route to the Suda Kingdoms, no caravan will enter it, preferring to travel the long way around. No one knows why. There is a rumor of a Lich Lord who lives in the dungeons of Zirkus.

Stae is the home of many hot springs, used for healing spas. Many infirm people, especially people with joint damage, will travel here to soak in the healing waters. Many people have recovered from arthritis and other joint diseases using these waters.

Marmon Mist Lake is the home of the Three Fates, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. Note: Clotho weaves the threads of life, Atropos cuts the threads of life, and Lachesis measures the threads of life. It is a long trail to the homes of the Fates, well off of the main caravan routes. In addition, the lake road is very close to the Wytch Woods. Only determined people will even attempt the trip.

The Wytch Woods, a home for female practitioners of the dark arts, prevents any hope of a direct caravan route between Tre'Volos and Suda. Note the difference in spelling of “Wytch” here. These Wytches specialize in curses and foul rituals. There is a rumor that they trade victims to a nearby tribe of cannibals.
