The Seven Villages

From RHJunior Comics Wiki

The Seven Villages, or Antillia, is the land surrounded by the Mistwall. The Rac Cona Daimh retreated to this land to escape persecution from other races, notably Humans from the Universalist Church. Sanctuary City is the largest and more-or-less most central Racconan city. The others can communicate with Sanctuary and each other via the Light Towers in each village (as explained here). There is very little contact with the world outside the barriers of the Mistwall and the Dire Swamp, however.

The climate is generally favorable and even year-round. Weathermages control the weather in Antillia to a degree, but from time to time, they have to let some storms through, for balance or because one is too big to disperse entirely.

There is a major political controversy in the Seven Villages regarding expansion and/or re-opening contact with the rest of the world.

Though the economy in Antillia is largely agriculture, there is some specialization in the villages. Freedom Shore is the land's fishing capital, being well situated on the edge of Smoke Lake. Hearthtown specializes in smithing and metallurgy. Ridgedale and Hellafight are well known for their fighting troops. Haven and Sanctuary City both have sizable industries in textiles and craftsmanship. Freeman Downs is know for its fruit, especially melons. Sanctuary City is the heart of progress in arts, sciences, politics, education, and commerce.
