Pinnacelia is an island nation located in the Pinnacelian archipelago, created by an Arcane Gate accident in the north. It is a loosely organized federation of city.
History
The Pinnacelian are an accident - a once in a million year accident - according to some Silnarian scholars. Early in the Silnarian Empire’s infancy, the Silnarian Empire attempted to establish a northern trade route, by planting an Arcane Gate in the north. However, the ritual went horribly wrong, and opened a connection in the Arcane Seas far northern than it should be. Worse - the ritual literally crashed - or created (no one knows for sure) a massive landmass in the middle of nowhere, caused a tsunami, created land, and opened a gateway to the south. The gate however, remained intact. But the SIlnarians remained convinced the new islands were cursed - and no one was eager to colonize them.
So much magical energy was drained by this particular event that the Silnarian called it The Pinnacelian Impact, and the accident - according to Silnarian scholars, prevented any accident of this scale from occuring in the entire world for at least a millennium.
Shortly after the islands were created, curious Tretons and Uzhi from the Arcane Seas came to check out this new connection - and found virgin, tropical, warm land (They later discovered it was sitting in a frigid ocean) unlike any they have seen in the Arcane Seas. They colonized and immigrated to the islands in large numbers, establishing the biggest land-based polity ruled by Arcanics that the civilized world knows of.
Pinnacelia later became known as a tropical paradise, a well-known vacation spot, and later on, a haven of pirates, smugglers and criminals, with its strategic location contributing to its prosperity.
It is also the place where one can find the most exiles from the civilized world of Ramul Ta.
In fact, rumors have it that one of the most prominent pirate warlords on the island resembles a certain ex-monarch from South Silnaria.
Government
The Pinnacelian consists of a bunch of autonomous city state united by a common defense pact against foreign aggression and a non aggression pact between them, with the city of Keni being the most prominent of them all.
Important NPCs
The Queen - ??? Years old Uzhi, Arena Owner
A powerful anonymous benefactor in Keni who runs one of the most prominent arena. From what people have seen - she's a Uzhi
White Devil of Keni - ??? Years Old Lathian?, Pirate Warlord
A powerful pirate warlord with at least fifty ships under his command and four thousand men - who is said to resemble a certain ex-monarch from South Silnaria, and has been active for at least 70 years. The warlord knows the in and out of Silnarian tactics and has evaded all attempts by Clan Teoneist to destroy his presence. His flagship is a stripped down carrack with an overloaded crew, known for its speed - and addition of oars for propulsion.
Events
- Metal Shortage: Pinnacelia is full of sources of organic materials, luxury seafood, wood and all kinds of abundance - all except one - minerals. What little deposits on the island are largely exhausted, leaving the federation very dependent on imported or stolen metal for its economy.
