Editing Nation of Zell (section)

== Western Bospora ==
The savannah of Western Bospora is harsh. Towards the south, in the shadow of the Mount Feather and the Cliffs of Zephrin, lies a scorching heat. The land gets little water in the winter months before being subject to a deluge in the summer. North, towards become, the arctic winds blow and create a pseudo-desert at times on the plains. Additionally the inhabitants must contend with the Dorcha Wastes to the far North and the monsters that wander out of them.

==== Beacon ====
Sometimes called the shining or illustrious city, Beacon is the gate that holds back the forces of the Dorcha Wastes. Despite being a vassal state of Zell, Beacon still views itself as completely independent. The city itself is nearly the size of Clover. Built on the side of a small mountain, Beacon is tiered alongside the sloping landscape. As a person walks higher into the city they would see the growth of Beacon through its architecture. Towards the base the houses are built out of brick or limestone, while higher up they become stone, then wood, and finally straw near the top. Beacon embraces its history. The citizens are adverse to tearing down the old in favor of the new. However, the highest levels of Beacon have been remade. The Palace, made of stone and marble, sits at the highest point. Other modern buildings built using glass, steel, and rare ores also exist. Beacon is run by a royal family who has been in power since the fall of Clover. Its current king is Kaspar Grayfall as of 701 AR. The patron [[Material gods|god]] of Beacon is Thaxnear.

==== Laurel ====
Beneath the Cliffs of Zephrin lies Laurel. The city itself is built into the ground. Half of the city is above the land and half is below. Above laurel trees cover the city. Their evergreen leaves sway in the breeze. Below the city lies the neighborhoods of Laurel. As darkness takes the sky, the city seems to retreat underground. In the underground lies the ancient bastion of Murus. Built by the genasi, Murus is the secret weapon of Laurel. As of 701 AR, the impenetrable bastion has enough rations to last the entire city seven years within its walls.
