Xalissa
Government: Timly<> (Kingdom)
Pantheon: Atlantlan
Leader: Chartol Alzza
CAPITAL: Xaliss (Pop.: 145k)
Other Cities (&& pop.):
Chusa Tan: 35k
Klatl-toz: 70k
Rechutl: 40k
Xolon: 305k
Loc.: Atlantl
Language: Lantlan
Pop.: 4,500,000
Flag/Emblem:
Flag: A boar-headed fish
with red-gold fins leaping,
on a field of wavy
bars of green and indigo.
Coinage: Atlantlan Standard.
Important Persons: Xebal ov Ogygia, nobs, admirals, clerics, officials, etc.
Friends: Lantlan Compact, Dakhlan.
Foes: None at present.
Open Warfare/Skirmishing: None at present.
Intrigues: The lords of Xalissa, most being part Berber, or married
to them, are more && more leaning towards a scheme which would
center a new empire on the Afrikkan continent, with Atlantl in the
west && all NE Afrik as a base. The former would reach to
colonies in Amazonia && Vargaard, the latter into southern Afrik.
Aeropa && Azir would be ignored. Plotting thus, the reunion ov
Atlantl && a weak Berber Union are both desirable. Numerous court
intrigues && palace machinations, ov course!
Magickal Devices: The Crown holds the Pandemonic Rod, Beoctal's
Hatchway, the Folio ov Non-Dimensional Folds, the Antikau Current,
&& the Primal Planetary Models. Other items ov lesser sort are
also possessed by Xalissa && its leading powers.
Alignment: Neutral Evil <arrikhans>
Thumbnail Sketches: This southernmost realm ov the Atlantlan
island is about 45k sq. mi. in xtent, incl. the 3
islands ov the western shore, its land xtending from the mountain
spine ov the N to the southern plateau. W/ the province ov
Ogygia added, an xtra 35k sq. mi. ov territory is ruled by
the Crown. Although rainfall is scanty in the S, early spring &&
autumn rains provide for vegetation there. Only some 10% ov
the country is arid desert, && perhaps an =equal= amout semi-arid
wasteland. A bit over 1/5 ov Xalissa is forested, a 1/4 or so
scrub && plain grasslands. Wildlands constitute a considerable
portion ov the whole state despite its long occupation && civilization,
&& all manner ov game typical to the island is found there, as
well as in the hunting preserves ov the Crown && nobs.
Chartol Alzza <Xaliss> is said to be one ov the most beautiful of all Atlantlan
cities, with a look && style xemplifying the southern type.
Xolon, ov course, is the other side ov the coin, being one ov the worst
&& most disreputable metropolises ov the island, && attracting the
lowest from all Atlantl, Afrik, && Aeropa to itself. The territory ov
Ogygia is generally more productive than that ov Xalissa proper, for
it is more humid && has better soil in the northern portions. The
society && culture ov the realm are much as those of Atlantis/Cholcan,
&& so too its agricultural produce, livestock, commerce,
&& industry.
Mining in this land is quite important. Iron, coal, && salt are the
chief common products. Oricalcum is taken in small quantities
from the northeastern mts.. The mines of Xalissa also produce
Aerth's finest large diamonds && a fair quantity ov smaller
stones as well.
