Streyr

Streyr is an Eldorian continent in the 4th Edition Campaign.

It is located in the southwest of the realm, and is strongly divided into two large islands, connected by only a manmade bridge. Streyr is the least prosperous of the habitated part of Eldor. In the South it is populated almost exclusively by Tiefling, apart from the in the city of Portknock. The North is inhabited by Half and Full-blooded Orcs, Shifters and Githzerai in equal parts, apart from in L&aacute;ster.

To the North it is bordered by the largest continent, Goldar.

History
Streyr has long been at war with the cities Armalog and Sellocest in Goldar, which has reduced L&aacute;ster to an ungoverned ruin. In times of strenuous peace, a wealthy trade route may open up in the stretch of calm water between Goldar and L&aacute;ster, restoring both sides to adequate comfort. Currently the fighting has ceased due to a lack of resources, but the trade has yet to reopen.

Portknock has long been in The Southern Allegiance with Goldar's cities of Lethennor and Linesse.

The bridge that connects Streyrs two islands, Southbend, is so massive it is unknown how it was ever built. All living memory of the construction has long since passed, and the recording of history has ne'er been one of Eldor's great strengths. The wooden bridge, which is wrought with living tree roots, once went by a different name: Southroad (the base of the bridge is laid with gravel), however the current and wind between the islands has, over time, warped the bridge into a large curve.

For some inexplicable reason, the sound of heavily splashing water, much greater than the gentle slopping of the calm sea, has been reported heard by travellers ever since the bridge has curved south.

Geography and Social Significance
Streyr has the pleasure to host the most perilous forest in all of Eldor: Verl&oacute;ren. L&aacute;ster is nestled deep within Verl&oacute;ren on three sides, which makes it hard to reach over ground.

The southern island of Streyr is home to a sizeable range of tall mountains, where the Tiefling population mine for all manners of precious metals and minerals. This ensures Portknock is a wealthy port, and has been for an age.

Streyr has a temperate climate.

Numerous vessels carry a portion of the precious material down the gushing river (whose name is not noted on the map) to a smattering of small towns along the riverside. The mouth of the river opens into a delta which would be ideal for a booming economic settlement, but remains unsettled.

The wealth and alliance of southern Streyr makes it considerably more influential than the northern island.
