Welcome to Uclandia: A Land of Living Legends
Some lands are tamed. Uclandia is not one of them.
It is a continent of wonder and mystery, where magic is not merely a learned art but a force that hums beneath the soil and pulses through ancient roots. It is a place of shifting borders, forgotten oaths, and whispered destinies.
Born from the hands of divine Goddesses and twisted by the meddling of temperamental Gods, Uclandia’s history is one of turmoil and enchantment, where every province is a kingdom unto itself, every ruler a piece on an ever-moving chessboard. In this land, power is never stable.
From the wild mountain peaks to the emerald coasts, from dense jungle canopies to storm-tossed harbors, Uclandia calls to those who crave adventure. And in its cities, villages, and forests, stories are waiting to be told.
The Heart of the Empire: Vahaava Ri
At the center of Uclandia, perched on the western shore of the Carwall Basin, lies Vahaava Ri—the largest city in the land and the seat of the Emperor. It is a city of ambition and intrigue, where merchants weave spells into their wares and nobles weave lies into their alliances. The grand halls of power echo with whispers, and though the Emperor reigns (for now!), it is often the unseen hands that truly shape the fate of the continent.
The Northern Wilds: Banern Province
Harsh, rocky, and often overlooked by the Empire, Banern Province stands defiant in the far north. Its cliffs and jagged peaks are pummeled by fierce winds, and its people no strangers to hardship. The province is home to Mount Buiac, a legendary peak shrouded in myth and mystery. At its base lies Wintershire, a community hardened by the elements but rich in stories that most would dismiss as mere folklore—until they come true.
The Sunlit Shores: Uisgern Province
On the eastern coast, where sea breezes carry the scent of salt and adventure, lies Uisgern Province (pronounced whis-gern). Its capital, Eras, is a city of light and movement, where fisherfolk, net-makers, boat-builders, artists, and instrument-makers call home. Life here is good—though the winters bring fierce storms that test even the hardiest sailors.
Uisgern is known for its trade in fish, dried seaweed, pearls, and unique vegetables such as the versatile Praituber. But perhaps its most prized export is Vanasoom, a delicate, fragrant plant used to craft a tea unlike any other—one that is said to carry a trace of the sea’s own magic.
It is also home to the College of Kinderven, where scholars study the mysteries of the world, from sea charts to ancient texts filled with forgotten wisdom.
The Lush South: Glasgern Province
Venture south and the landscape transforms. Glasgern Province, the southernmost province of Uclandia, is a realm of warmth and life. Its capital, Fasach, lies at the edge of an emerald wilderness, where trees stretch high and the air is thick with the scent of blooming flowers and rain-dampened earth.
Here, nature thrives in abundance, and the province’s riches are tied to the land itself. Glasgern exports rare and exotic woods, alchemy ingredients, and botanical treasures—including Tomba bark, lichens, tree flowers, and the famed seoda mead, an elixir rumored to hold both intoxicating and restorative properties.
The Divided Land: Luingern Province
On Uclandia’s western flank lies Luingern Province (Loo-in-gern), a land divided. The Chonaic Ridge, a stretch of low mountains, cuts through its heart, creating two distinct regions: the lush, fertile coast and the rugged, unforgiving interior.
Its capital, Fort Fairadell, rises above the bustling harbor, a city built on trade, grit, and resilience. The province is known for its exports of herbs, vegetables, copper, and a metal found nowhere else in Uclandia. This metal, unique to Luingern, is said to bear a different pattern depending on the smith who forged it—and to never dull.
It is whispered that the mountains hold even greater secrets. Beyond the mined copper and hidden forges, something ancient lingers, watching.
Why Visit Uclandia?
Because here, every shadow holds a secret, and every road leads to a tale untold.
Because in Uclandia, the forests breathe, the seas remember, and the mountains keep their own counsel.
There are those who read about the world from the safety of their studies, and then there are those who carve their stories into the land itself. Vibris Ceza is one of the latter.
An explorer of great renown, Vibris has walked the breadth of Uclandia, from the cliffs of Banern Province to the steaming jungles of Glasgern. He has mapped the Chonaic Ridge, deciphered half-forgotten inscriptions in the ruins beyond Wintershire, and once spent a full cycle of the moon aboard a merchant ship in Eras, trading knowledge for passage to an island that should not exist.
But even the most seasoned wanderer knows that some doors, once opened, do not close so easily. And Vibris Ceza has seen things that were meant to stay hidden.
He has returned with stories. He has returned with warnings.
And soon, he will return to tell you all about them.
But now, I turn the question to you.
If you could step into a land like Uclandia, where would you go first—the bustling capital, the storm-swept coast, the deep forests, or the forgotten mountains? What kind of story would you want to be part of?

Hmmm, I think Uisgern draws me the most, but it all sounds amazing. What a fascinating portrait of a land you’ve presented!
