====== Osnines ======

Osnines is a vast and topographically diverse continent, serving as the primary geographical setting for the majority of documented [[:skyss:chars:heroes|Heroic]] deeds and international commerce monitored by the [[:skyss:places:bot|Board of Trade]]. Spanning over two thousand miles from the arctic north to the humid equatorial regions, the continent is characterised by a patchwork of sovereign states, republics, and ancient druidic groves. It is the only landmass known to manifest the magical [[:skyss:chars:dragonmarks|dragonmarks]] and is the site of the [[:skyss:places:great_west_road|Great West Road]], the world's pre-eminent trade artery.

===== Geography and Climate =====

The continent exhibits extreme climatic variation. The northernmost reaches, particularly [[:skyss:places:heimdal|Heimdal]], are dominated by sub-arctic conditions, including regions that remain dark for two entire moons during the winter cycle. Moving south, the landscape transitions through the deciduous round-leaved forests of [[:skyss:places:grunwald|Grunwald]] and the fertile plains of [[:skyss:places:berenicia|Berenicia]] and [[:skyss:places:zushonia|Zushonia]]. 

The central interior is defined by the [[:skyss:places:affaraon|Old Forest of Affaraon]] and the [[:skyss:places:dipthorn_range|Dipthorn Mountains]], which provide a critical barrier between the western coastal kingdoms and the eastern steppes. The southern peninsulae, housing [[:skyss:places:salicia|Salicia]] and [[:skyss:places:cottalem|Cottalem]], enjoy a warm, humid climate that supports an extensive metal industry and hardwood timber cultivation.

===== Nations and Settlements =====

The administrative landscape of Osnines is divided into several major powers and numerous smaller polities, often linked by the [[:skyss:places:bot|Board of Trade]] and a shared history of [[:skyss:chars:heroes|Heroic]] intervention.

===== Infrastructure and Economy =====

The economy of Osnines is supported by two massive roads that facilitate the flow of high-value commodities.

==== The Great West Road ====
The continent's primary land-based artery, the [[:skyss:places:great_west_road|Great West Road]] strikes west from the [[:skyss:places:zushonia|Zushonian]] hub of [[:skyss:places:crucivia|Crucivia]], passing through [[:skyss:places:aintzira|Aintzira]] in Salicia, before terminating at [[:skyss:places:dacidade|Dacidade]] in Cottalem. This route is vital for the movement of copper from the [[:skyss:places:cobre_mountains|Cobre Mountains]] to the western coast.

==== The Great East Road ====
Serving as the primary connection between the central polities and the eastern steppes, the [[:skyss:places:great_east_road|Great East Road]] passes through [[:skyss:places:affaraon|Affaraon]] and the city of [[:skyss:places:anerly|Anerly]]. It facilitates the flow of exotic alchemical products and fine druidic crafts from the interior to the coastal markets.

===== Relationships =====

==== People ====
  * [[:skyss:chars:mukul|Mukul]]: The legendary cartographer responsible for mapping the majority of the continent's interior.
