Jrustela (1e)
 |
These are the isles of sorcerers and hierophants¸ the seat of the great learning and wisdom that gave birth to the Empire of the God Learners. Here¸ the sorcerers discovered the secret of the God Learners and so transformed this world and the next. The old mainland of Seshnegi may be the commercial and military heart of the sea-spanning empire¸ but Jrustela is the empire's soul. No man can call himself accomplished in magic until he has studied in the towers of Jrustela¸ no man can call himself holy unless he has knelt and studied the 'Abiding Book' that proclaims all faiths are one under Malkion and no man has truly seen wonders until he has walked the cobbled streets of Eradinthanos in the pale light of dawn. Then again¸ no man has braved danger until he has dived for treasures in sunken Svalwal¸ and no man has crossed the thieves of windy Hathinelthor and lived. Travel now to the wondrous isle of Jrustela and seize your future!
The birthplace of the Middle Sea Empire¸ Jrustela is home to immense cities¸ powerful trading guilds¸ fearsome sorcerers and the birthplace of the dominant religion in the west.
