Enthalstam

Enthalstam is a Taschen continent located in the northern hemisphere and is home to major centers of politics, commerce, and more.

Geography
Enthalstam is a continent of many biomes, including tundra, mountains, forest, grasslands, and rocky shores.

Geldheim
→ Main article: Geldheim

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.

Nidavell

Nidavell is a Gnomish city-state in the An-Ard mountain range in the southwest of the continent, right on the shoreline. Similar to Geldheim, it is built inside the mountains. It is home to the Council of Tinkers and the Hreidmar Academy.

Seaport
→ Main article: Seaport

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.

Belgrave
→ Main article: Belgrave

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

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

Environment
The continent is cooler to the north (as it approaches the Kalten Tundra), but warmer and temperate in the south. The seas are calm on the Eidelic Coast, but quite rough all along the eastern coastline.

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.
