Only a small part of Andolina has been explored, mostly because of the Yon Mountains cutting off the little piece of land the people appeared in, from the rest of Andolina. In the land that they know, they people have founded three colonies, and have begun to settle in, however, the colonies are on the verge of war over who will lead them.
Below you can find useful information about each colony and the land surrounding it, including types of animals and plants found in the area, and what jobs the people living there have. I have also made a rough map, that you should see below.

Cervor Cervor is the oldest of the colonies, and the most orderly. The colony has formed a council of five who make and enforce the laws, and Cervor wants this council to be the new leaders of the colonies, however, the other colonies don't agree.
[/color][/ul] The Cervor colony sits right along the coast, high on a cliff overlooking the Simplir Sea. The colony has claimed all the land along the coast stretching from the east end of Yon to the west end. However, the small stretch of land is mostly made up of sand and rocks, and the only spot with even a remote amount of grass is where the colony is located. So, most of the people of the colony spend almost all their time on the sea, fishing. [/color] [li] Cervor White Fish A sweet tasting white fish that is very common [/li][li] Red Crab Red Crab are fairly rare, and are considered a delicacy [/li][li] Clams Various clams can be found in Cervor, and many people search for them simply to get the precious pearls out of them, they do taste good though, and are eaten as well [/li][li] Sea Birds White and grey birds that fly over the sea hunting for fish. They are considered inedible, but are a good way to tell where the fish are, as they will all flock to good fishing places[/li][/ul] [/color] [li] Seaweed Seaweed is harvested directly from the sea, and when it washes up on shore and is used in cooking [/li][/ul] [/color][/ul] Cervor has the best form of leadership of the three colonies, a council of five. These five individuals have made laws, and do their best to enforce them. [/color][/ul] The people of Cervor are mostly fishermen, who fish in small wooden boats along the coast. They are able to catch a variety of fish using nets and traps. The most common fish they catch is a pure white fish dubbed the Cervor White Fish. Although fishing is the mane trade in Cervor, some people are known to collect clams in search of pearls, and are very successful.

Everyone goes to the market to trade their goods on Solosday.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

Onsay Onsay was the second colony founded, and although it is not nearly as orderly as Cervor, it has elected an individual in charge of keeping things fair for all members of the colony. This person acts like a sort of sheriff, but the people of Onsay want a ruler, and they want their current Sheriff to be that leader, and to lead all three of the colonies.
[/color][/ul] The colony of Onsay is on the outskirts of a vast field of rich soil. There is not a tree or rock anywhere in the land! It does make thing very windy, but allows the people to farm very easily. [/color] [li] Rabbits Many rabbits hop through the fields munching on produce, so the people of Onsay have taken to killing and eating them to try and prevent them from ruining their crops, it doesn't help much, but makes a good meal. [/li][li] Horses Horses roam free in Onsay, both talking and non-talking. The ones that can't talk are caught and trained to ride, and work the fields. This makes both travel and work much easier for the people. As for the talking horses, some gifted people are able to befriend them, and the talking horses will live in the colony and let them ride them. [/li][li] Birds Crows, Owls, and Swallows are common in Onsay, they can also be very annoying, as they will still crops. [/li][li] Mice Mice are also seen often, mostly at night when they sneak in to eat the crops.[/li][/ul] [/color] [li] Wheat Wheat is one of the main things grown in Onsay, as it can be used to feed the horses, and make flour for baking. [/li][li] Corn Corn is also a popular thing to grow, but it needs to be protected from the crows. [/li][li] Potatoes Ah, potatoes, a staple food item, especially in Onsay. Even if all the other crops are terrible, you can usually count on having potatoes to harvest. [/li][li] Barley Used for making Ale and for feeding the horses. [/li][/ul] [/color][/ul] Onsay's only form of leader is a Sheriff who tries to keep things in order. It has worked out fairly well for them though, and they want their Sheriff to lead them to war. [/color][/ul] Wheat, Corn and Potatoes are of course the most common items used for trading in Onsay. As well as horses, who are caught, trained and either kept or traded for things that are needed. Baked goods made from flour and corn are very popular as well. [/color] [li] Farmer [/li][li] Horse Wrangler [/li][li] Miller [/li][li] Baker[/li][/ul] Everyone goes to the market to trade their goods on Solosday.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

Deystem Deystem is the newest colony, made up of a jumble of people who somehow make their living in the woods. They have no real leader, but don't want to be taken over by any of the other colonies, so they are busily searching for someone to lead them and fight off the other colonies.
[/color][/ul] Deystem colony is located in a large forest of Stem Trees, tall, thin trees with thin oval leaves. The forest is full of all sorts of plants, and has many freshwater springs running through it as well. It is a very beautiful place, that is good for hunting. [/color] [li] Deer The Deer of Deystem are all a lovely white color, and a sight to see. [/li][li] Unicorns Two herds of Unicorns make their home in Deystem, however, they are very elusive and few have ever been seen. It is said that if you can catch a Unicorn it will grant you one wish. [/li][li] Rabbits Many rabbits live in the forest. [/li][li] Sing Song Bird A bird with a voice that sounds eerily similar to a human's. Their songs are mesmerizing, and can make the weak minded fall asleep instantly - not a good thing to do in the forest of Deystem. [/li][li] Wolves, Coyotes and Bears All things you do not want to meet unarmed, be careful![/li][/ul] [/color] [li] Stem Trees Tall, thin trees with thin oval leaves and a greyish white bark. They make up most of the trees in the forest, and their deep green leaves are said to have healing powers. [/li][li] Dey Trees Large trees, in width and height, that grow here and there throughout the forest. [/li][li] Mushrooms All types of fungi can be found in the forest, many with magic, or healing properties. [/li][li] Herbs To many types of herbs to list grow in the forest, many useful in medicine and potions. [/li][li] Flowers Roses, lilies, violets, pansies, all types of flowers can be found in the forest. [/li][/ul] [/color][/ul] Deystem currently has no real form of leadership [/color][/ul] In Deystem most people are hunters, lumberjacks, or make medicines and potions. Some people collect edible plants as well, while others use the wood from the lumberjacks for building and making weapons. [/color] [li] Hunter [/li][li] Lumberjack [/li][li] Alchemist [/li][li] Pharmacist [/li][li] Scavenger [/li][li] Carpenter [/li][li] Weapon Maker (Mainly bows and arrows made of wood)[/li][/ul] Everyone goes to the market to trade their goods on Solosday.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

Yon There is no colony in the mountains of Yon, but some people live and work there, in the mines. With war on everyone's mind, and the colonies are busily trying to secure and protect mines in the mountains so they can harvest metal to make the weapons they will soon need.
[/color][/ul] Yon is what the large mountain range surrounding the three colonies is referred to. The mountains are all very tall, steep, and full of secret caves rumored to have magical treasures inside. No one know's however, as no one has ever found any treasure. They have found rich deposits of Iron, Bronze and Coal, and all the colonies have started mining operations in the mountains. [/color] [li] Eagles This magnificent bird makes it's home in the mountains, but can be seen hunting in Onsay and Deystem quite commonly.[/li][/ul] [/color][/ul] There are no plants in Yon. [/color][/ul] Cervor has set up a mine in the mountains where they mine for Coal and Iron, both very valuable to the colony. A group of people from Cervor live in the mountains and work in the mines, or use the Iron to craft weapons. [/color][/ul] Onsay also mines Coal and Iron in the mountains. They have some people who live and work there, in the mines or making weapons. They almost have their own little village, but are of course loyal to Onsay and the Sheriff. [/color][/ul] Like the other two colonies, Deystem has a mining operation in the mountains, however the mine Bronze and Iron. They have a settlement of people there who work in the mines or make weapons. [/color] [li] Miner [/li][li] Weapons Maker[/li][/ul] The people of Yon travel to their home colony every Solosday to attend the market and sell their goods.[/blockquote][/blockquote]
