History
Geography
The Ancient walls of the imperial city of Vasroderno
Vasroderno can be split into several different geographic regions. In the south east lies the warm coast of the Sea of Buroz in which lies a coastal plain traversed by wide rivers and further inland gives way to rolling hills covered in dense forests, woodlands, and scrub as well as valleys and wide rivers. This rises to form the Dromorian mountain range which runs from the north east to the centre of the country like a spine sheltering the vast Urodia plain in the centre of the country. The centre of the country contains dense forest and a variety of warm dry forests and the lush plains of the Uro river and its tributaries. Further west the largest and highest mountain range the Aradascal mountains stretch in a bowl towards the Ovardic Ocean with large wide slopes and peaks where the highest peak in the country Mount Orilia (6,002m) and beautiful varied and spectacular scenery to the south of this lies a semi arid steppe which stretches towards the empire’s south western border. Species native to Vasroderno include Bison, Wolves, Elk and Golden eagles being amongst the most numerous examples of Vasrodernic fauna.
