Thumbnail Sketches: The islands ov this realm are beautiful, semi-tropical
ones, where the climate is favourable xcept during the stormy
season, && food from the sea && the lush vegetation is easily
obtained. Del Gades is a surprisingly cosmopolitan city, for such is
unexpected in such an easy, near-paradisiacal setting.
As typical ov Atlantlan realms, Alzorax is a place where slavery is
more common than serfdom, although Iberian influence is gradually
changing this
condition. The
people are
mostly ov
Atlantlan stock,
although a minority
ov some
25% Iberian
&& Iberian-Atlantlan
admixture now
lives on the islands
ov the
duchy. The
small aristocratic
class is
haughty and
very tyrannical.
Pirates both operate
from the
Alzores &&
trouble the
shipping ov the
duke. No standing
army is
maintained,
and the fleet is
small but supposedly
ov high
caliber.
The reefs ov this island produce precious coral ov all colors.
Fruits, wine, and native handicrafts are exported.
