Greetings travelers.\u00a0 Welcome to the final map we have for a majorly populated continent in the world of Tellest (for now…).\u00a0 We are going to be looking at a continent called Algea today, which ha some interesting distinctions.\u00a0 Most notably, this continent has the real-world kingdom that has inspired the mythology behind Golernus, or the kingdom of the gods.\u00a0 In a lot of ways, there’s a basis of reality to the thought process, but it isn’t quite the paradise that people think is waiting for them after death.\u00a0 But more on that in a bit.<\/p>\n
Algea has four kingdoms, and we’ll start with the green one in the center, as that’s the one that we know of the most.\u00a0 Golernus is the kingdom that the gods are known for, as it is the place that Mathias, the king of the gods, called home when he first appeared on Tellest.\u00a0 Mathias was the first god that the dwarves of Algea discovered, and as such, he became a bit of a revered figure.\u00a0 He climbed the cliffs that eventually led to his kingdom, and was responsible for the renaming of some of his most fervent supporters, the Godhand Dwarves.\u00a0 Next, we have Floruna, in violet, which we haven’t explored very much at all, but this area has a link to the distant past in a lot of ways, as there are magical places therein which are populated by what appear to be dinosaurs\u2014though they might be more closely related to dragons in the Tellest mythos.\u00a0 Then, in the bluish color, we have Caimbra, which is where the few elves of the continent live.\u00a0 Finally, in yellow, we have Atreya.\u00a0 Because it is the biggest kingdom we see here, it’s the one I know just a bit more about than the others. We have a gnomish city in the northern portion of the kingdom, which we’ll talk about again soon.<\/p>\n
