Planar Information
Rhakotis lies along a long shallow river valley. Gnyoll, the river in the valley, freezes over each winter. On the eastern bank the independent state of Caer Wyrmshold can be found; it's boundaries marked by a large majestic wall hewn out of pure white marble. The state of Rhakotis spreads around around Caer Wyrmshold, with the capital entirely surrounding it. Boats can be found sailing up and down the river when weather permits moving supplies from small surrounding villages to the capital or sailing by Caer Wyrmshold's majestic walls delivering supplies from one end of the capital to another. Many smaller towns and villages can be found in the surrounding territory. Outposts mark the boundary of Rhakotis.
The climate is cold and wet. In winter snow can be found on the streets and in summer rain is commonplace.
Rhakotis contains one of the Grand Portals. It is heavily guarded.
