Peel Fantasy

The region of Alta sits at the Southern end of the World. It is a fertile region of forests, hills and grassland, occupied by many petty and not-so-petty republics, kingdoms and theocracies.

To the North, the great X River marks the commonly agreed boundary of Alta. Beyond it the land parches into desert. To the West the hills sprout rocks and grow taller until they form the fearsome Y Range of mountains. To the South is a scattering of mountainous islands. To the East is the wall of the Z peninsula, and then ocean.

Totems

Alta's culture and politics have been greatly shaped by the presence of 6 gigantic semi-abstract statues, each hundreds of feet tall and utterly indestructible. These are the totems, variously thought god or idol or ancient golem. By taking the mark of a totem, paying its price, and following its laws, humans can access their power through the appropriate forms.
