The Thunderlands

The Thunderlands are a small cluster of islands south of Sahan, made up of 5 major islands. Inhabited by a bird like race, known as The Andite.

Elimis
Elimis is the largest island of The Thunderlands. It was once the centre of all of The Thunderlands culture and population, but with the rise of Nomagos, so has come the fall of Elimis.

It is, for the most part, now made up of simple highland farmland and peach farms in the south of the island.

Nolm
Nolm is one of the few important locations left on Elimis. When an Andite comes of age they will travel to Sharnestra alone to meet with The Chisceidon. This journey begins in Nolm where they will have to build their boat and sail to the temple.

Wrocan
Wrocan is the centre for trade in the south of The Thunderlands, known for its peach farms that surround it.

The Gates of Saldun
The Gates of Saldun lie in the mountains of Elimis. They are a duo of giant statues that lead into a grotto like cave that was said to once be the home of a Chisceidon.

Nomagos
Nomagos is the capital island of The Thunderlands.

Formerly part of Elimis, a great flood separated Nomagos. Exalted, the Andites believed Nomagos to be a city blessed by The Five.

Over time the population flocked to Nomagos, making it the hub of all society in The Thunderlands.

In Andite culture it is common place to treat geographical height as a form of status and this comes from the formation of the island of Nomagos. The people are often referred to as Highland or Lowland. It is seen as bad luck to be somewhere below sea level.

Ederfen
Ederfen is the centre of schools, libraries and knowledge within Andite Culture.

Carcaso
Carcaso is the school that houses most of the ancient texts from the beginnings of Andite culture. Many will travel to Carcaso to study the history and culture of their land.

Nsis
Nsis is home to The Andite Armada - the army of its people known as The West Protectors

Azurest
The outpost where those who wish to join The West Protectors must go to train. It is here that the Andite Armada is built.

Sharnestra
Sharnestra is the holy island, none set foot there accept for The Chisceidon and it’s Protectors, until an Andite comes of age and they must make the pilgrimage to the temple of the Chisceidon to meet with it.
