Na Kram - City of Dust

Na Kram is the capitol city of the Barony that shares its name.  It is one of two Baronies within the region of the Sildur Reaches.  Far to the Northeast of Na Kram is the Barony of Botts.  To the far west of Na Kram lies the Greywater River, and beyond that Huygen, the City of Lights, is connected to Na Kram via the Na Kram-Huygen Road.

The barony is ruled over by the Quar Nev family, and currently the oldest living (age 73) Male of the family, Farris Quar Nev, is the Baron.  His eldest daughter (age 54) Brinna Quar Nev is due to succeed him.

The City of Dust is so named due to the curious grey dust that populates the region.  The lands to the north of the City are populated by the remains of forest of great Cloudwood forests, and in the region vicious windstorms are common.  They will fill the area with massive swirling clouds of the curious grey dust, and for days (sometimes longer) following such a storm, the whole of the local area, including the City, is covered by layers of the grey dust.  During this time, packs of a strange type of hunting spider (giant, of course) emerge from their burrows in the dead roots beneath the Cloudwood stumps, and they ravage the area.



The Dungeons of Borleos are here.  These are legendary dungeons maintained by the Baron for the purpose of housing foul criminals...

Hol Kram, the Cathedral of Starry Wisdom, is here.  This is the main Cathedral dedicated to the service of Saint Gianna the Oracle.

Two independent trade towns exist close to Na Kram - to the west is Jinette, and to the east is Haaksen.

To the north of Na Kram is the region of the Mongrelbeast Herds and the remains of the Elkmen.
