General description<\/strong><\/p>\n Entymology<\/strong><\/p>\n The country of Gandarst was one of the origin countries of the humans of Tellest.\u00a0 Many of the humans there were forced to become nomadic barbarians.\u00a0 The strongest clan of those barbarians was called the Gan.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Geography and Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n Gandarst is bordered on its east by a long, nearly unbroken mountain range.\u00a0 There is a passage from Gandarst to Blacklehn, but travel to Raleigh and Daltain are substantially more difficult because of the mountains.\u00a0 On all of other compass directions, Gandarst is surrounded by ocean.\u00a0 Gandarst is one of two countries on Draconis that do not share borders with any other country, due to mountain ranges separating them.<\/p>\n Gandarst is generally a cold to mild climate country.\u00a0 On its east side, a desert shifts abruptly into tundra.\u00a0 As the tundra reaches into the center of the country, it turns into a barren wasteland.\u00a0 Gandarst\u2019s west side is dense forest.\u00a0 The northern parts of the country are cooler than the south.\u00a0 Rivers run through all of the terrain except for the desert and the tundra.\u00a0 Within the wasteland, the rivers run underground, or at the bottom of a huge expanse of canyon, leaving the area above dry and infertile.<\/p>\n Gandarst\u2019s ecology is sparse, and fighting between animals for food is common.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Races<\/strong><\/p>\n Humans, dwarves, orcs, minotaurs, rhinotaurs make up the most populous races of Gandarst.\u00a0 The humans can be found within any terrain, while the other races are generally broken up by individual topography.<\/p>\n The dwarves can be found wherever there are mountains to be mined.\u00a0 As such, it is thought that the dwarves outnumber any race within the country, though no action has been made to confirm that thought.<\/p>\n The orcs settled in the desert, and even have some tundra outposts.\u00a0 Because of the desert\u2019s proximity to many of the mountains of Gandarst, the orcs have found themselves in close diplomatic ties with the dwarves.<\/p>\n The minotaurs and rhinotaurs both fight over the wasteland.\u00a0 Various portions of the wasteland have been enhanced, either by magic or some other means, to produce greenery for shade and sustenance.\u00a0 The minotaurs are believed to have pioneered those brief lush spots within the barren land, but the rhinotaurs are constantly trying to muscle their way in.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
