Cruth-Atharraich

Cruth-Atharraich is a country famous for its overseas trade and wealth. It is a kingdom ruled by a king filled with greed, power and racism towards the Fae. It used to be ruled by a Therian king who had a bastard son named Rowan, but he was soon killed by his human wife (sister to the king of Munderra). She became queen and remarried to a cruel human king, who ruled the Fae with an iron fist.

It is a peninsula connected only to Munderra through a narrow strip of land that disappears at high tide. The deep waters on either side of the strip of land are known to be dark and deep waters, where people tend to disappear at the hands of merfolk or seamonsters. Giant sequoia trees inhabit the east part of the peninsula, which is isolated by a spine of mountains, and the Therians who seek shelter outside of the kingdom have made homes in the giants. Humans have crossed the mountains to invade the land of the free Therians, but none of them have ever returned -- or at least, so the rumors claim. Because it is so close to the equator, the peninsula itself can reach temperatures of 110 degrees in the summer months and falls short to 50 in the Winter. Thanks to rainfall and the giant sequoia tree’s; life has been able to flourish, green grasses, moss, a zoo of exotic and common animals on the eastern coast, but in other parts it is more barren.

The rest of the peninsula is divided into three sectors, the first being the most wealthiest which is where the Humans live, the second is where the Therians live being separated by a giant border, lastly the third is where theMerfolk live. The kingdom is separated entirely by the sectors. Merfolk men work in allowing ships to export and import. Grabbing seafood off the ocean floor, catching fish and other meats and bringing foreigners to various countries. Merfolk men aren’t paid in coin but in protection and food for their families. Tunnels and sculptures, gardens and native sea animals are abundant in their underwater home. Therians and Humans are often envious of the freedom these Fae possess.
