Yabeshet

Yabeshet is the largest Taschen continent, located in the southern hemisphere. It is home to many great and ancient cities and landmarks.

Geography
Yabeshet is a continent that consists mostly of desert or mountains, with a few oases of note and tundra along its most southern points.

The largest continent on Tasche, this great landmass is home to the garden city of Vaesghaar, the solemn hilled city of Tzeda (and its protective Vanguard), the twin cities of Sh'chaiym and Tofet, the Green Dragon enclave of Vaatika, and the storied port city of Sapan.

The Dwarven Kingdom of Geldheim is the largest and most notable city in all of Enthalstam. Built during the Age of Gods as the divine seat of Hrodus, it was carved directly into the inside of the great Rubinberge mountain range in the northeast of the continent.

Seaport is a port town set in a cove on the Eidelic Coast, the western coast of Enthalstam, where the largest river in the north meets the sea. In many ways, it is the center of commerce for all of the northern hemisphere. The city is run by a Trade Union and elected Trade Prince, who oversee the city's four wards and maintain peace amongst them.

The new city of Belgrave is the seat of power for the Beltrent Enclave, a young and quickly growing republic on Enthalstam led by the enigmatic and charming Edvard Beltrent. It is built in the natural fortress of the Basal mountain range in the continent's southeast.

Other Notable Locations

 * Vaatika: A Dragonborn enclave on the rocky cliffs to the northwest.
 * Bangari: An almost utopian druidic settlement along the shores of the great lake of Rukato.
 * Suleimat: The large, dark forest located south and east of Geldheim and the Rubinberges.

Environment
The continent is quite warm except in its most southern reaches. The seas are calm on all sides.

Politics
There is an ongoing and ancient animosity between Geldheim and Nidavell, predating both the Council of Tinkers and the current ruling triumvirate in Geldheim by many centuries. However, fearful of the growing influence of the Beltrent Enclave, they have begun secret talks should the need for an alliance arise.

The Beltrent Enclave continues to grow its borders and influence as the appeal of democracy and republicanism -- as well as of Edvard Beltren -- grow across the continent.
