Coravane (Coradel Region)
Falnorian Junior League Play Location – Season 11 (2023-2024)
Coradel is a coastal region facing the northeastern shore of Falnorian. The coast is guarded by high cliffs and rocky beaches; further inland, the region turns into rolling hills and temperate forests. The weather in Coradel stays steady year-round: snow and heat are both rare here. Fog, however, is a constant companion throughout the year; it comes and goes during most seasons, and during the winter is occasionally broken by large sea-storms that come sweeping inland. The region in general is wet; although there is only one major river, the hills and woods are filled with small creeks, streams, and marshland at all times of year. These are often lined with mazes of brambles, ferns, and other undergrowth that provide cover to both foraging creatures and people alike.
This region has only recently become known as Coradel. Not long ago, it was a collection of several smaller regions dotted through wide swaths of wilderness that had no reason to contact one another. Several threats – first a colony of changelings, and then conquest by the neighboring region of Old Syenon – forced these smaller regions to band together for survival. These days they forage together, farm together, and fight together as needed. The main central force that binds everyone together is the army – which functions less like a traditional army and more like bands of fighters and scouts. Because it is highly mobile and one of the few central structures in the region, the army also handles services such as mail, healing and resurrection, road-and-bridge building, and other services. There is also a civil leader who works with the army but does not answer to it; each city in Coradel has a turn at nominating someone to be this leader, who then serves a term of fifteen years. There have been three leaders so far, with a fourth currently in term.
Although they have now banded together, the people of Coradel still share many of the same traits that were important to them before the joining. Nature is highly valued in this region: most people have at least some skill in navigating and foraging natural areas, and wilderness is seen as something beautiful and fascinating – and something to be cautious of, as these wild spaces are often filled with fey and other dangerous magical beings. The people of Coradel are also independent and individualist, and agency and personal expression are among the most important things to hold onto – especially in the face of Old Syenon. They also tend to be very practical and hard-working; instead of last names, many people are known by what work they do and as such change last names several times throughout their lives.
Coravane: Coravane is a town-turned-fort on the front lines of the war with Old Syenon. It is situated in a hilly region with many small creeks and access to gathering and hunting grounds nearby. The town itself is surrounded by a large wooden palisade; its towers and portions of the wall itself are in the process of being replaced with stone. A large barracks is built near the walls, and the center of town harbors several other large buildings and warehouses used for central services such as mail, trade, and general healing. Most people in Coravane live in small houses built together within larger buildings, and shop in markets built much the same way. Each of these large buildings takes on its own identity and personality over time, making miniature neighborhoods and leading to spirited contests and friendly competition between each building.
