Narada

Narada is the main island that comprises the bulk of the landmass of the realm of Napori.

Geography and Climate
Narada is mostly tallgrass plains and moorlands that sport such wildlife as lions, deer, wolves, goblinfolk and gnolls. To the northwest lies the Anorian Forest, an expanse of trees that are home to elves and the wildlife that their innate magic has altered to wondrous results. At the southeastern end of Narada lies Marshwood, a lrge fen home to halflings and lizardfolk alike that maintain a tenuous peace.

Farthest east are the mountains known as the Evalades, originally settled by elves but relinquished to the dwarves by the Treaty of Napori. Within those mountains is the East Vale, in which the human city of Arnis was raised and remains to this day. In the center of Narada are the Hilgroves, another elven forest that has been corrupted by the presence of fouler folk. On the eastern border of the Hillgroves lie the High Hills, in which the ruins of Ithil are overrun with plant and animal life both beautiful and deadly. The High Hills hug the western shores of the Sea of Napori, a large inland freshwater body near which also lies the city of Molise.

Narada's climate creates mild winters, hot summers and relatively short periods of autumn and spring in between. The turbulent waters below its cliffs are often overshadowed with variable weather that never settles into a consistent trend for long, although the coastal settlements tend to enjoy even more consistent temperatures due to the insulating qualities of the surrounding ocean.

City-States
Narada contains the following city-states:
 * Nasseri, the capital of Napori.
 * Novara, a great center of agriculture.
 * Molise, the hub of the slave trade on the archipelago.
 * Arnis, sheltered by the Evalades.

History
Narada's history is basically synonymous with that of the realm of Napori as a whole, largely because Narada is likely the most politically influential of the isles. The majority of the battles of the Great Naporian War were fought on it plains and within its cities, and most of the archipelago's most famous historical figures were born in Narada as well. Even the violent transition from feudalism to oligarchy was spearheaded from Narada.
