SignificanceA land of renewal and prosperity where rivers carve the destiny of nations.


Delmora is a realm where mighty rivers shape the land, carving their paths through fertile plains and ancient valleys. Unlike more stagnant lands, Delmora is a place of constant renewal, where the rivers dictate the rhythm of life. Floods nourish the soil, trade follows the currents, and civilizations rise and fall along the ever-changing banks.

To live in Delmora is to embrace the river’s will—to adapt, to move, and to understand that prosperity belongs to those who flow with the current, not against it.

Geography

Delmora is a land where rivers dominate the landscape, creating a vast network of waterways, fertile floodplains, and interconnected settlements. The heart of the realm is defined by two great river systems, fed by mountain ranges to the west and north. These rivers do not simply shape the land; they dictate the movement of people, trade, and culture.

Major Geographic Features

- The Twin Rivers – Two massive rivers, one flowing from the Anvil Range (west) and the other from the Northern Highlands, meet at the heart of Delmora, forming the lifeblood of its civilization. - The Anvil Range (Western Border) – Towering peaks that channel meltwater into Delmora’s great rivers, ensuring year-round fertility. - The Northern Highlands – A rugged, forested region where the second great river begins, less tamed than the lands below. - The Southern Spur – A mountainous borderland that isolates Delmora from the harsher lands beyond, making the region more self-sustaining. - The Great Lake of the East – A vast inland body of water with a distinct maritime culture, acting as both a trade hub and a cultural divide between Delmora’s river-folk and lake-dwellers.

Climate

Delmora’s climate is gentle yet dynamic, shaped by the rise and fall of its rivers. Seasons are marked not by temperature shifts alone, but by the flow of water, determining planting cycles, trade routes, and even conflicts.

- Spring Floods – The rivers swell with meltwater from the mountains, enriching the soil but also reshaping farmland and settlements. - The Dry Season (Late Summer–Autumn) – Water levels drop, exposing new lands for farming and opening long-forgotten ruins. - Mists of the Great Lake (Winter) – Dense fogs roll across the eastern lake, leading to strange tales and vanishings.
