Kingdom: Iron Pidgeon

Legends proclaim that the kingdom was founded by a group of five master artisians who loved nature as much as they loved metal. With their creations they planted a gigantic forest and claimed it as their own, and the other kingdoms accepted that because conquering the kingdom would be impossible (burning destroying trees is seen as an act of pure evil).

Once the seeds grew into trees, exiled or oppressed humans, elves and gnomes from all over the continent were welcomed by the founders. They found refuge and founded their own villages. Some grew into towns and three even grew into cities of more than 2000 inhabitants. Most villages contain less than a hundred people, most towns less than a thousand.

Most villages were founded near special structures such as the fountain of Baldu, the keep of Walda (which changes the color of its walls based on the day of the fortnight) and the mine of Hilip (which automatically creates rails for mine carts).

For centuries since it was founded, all was well in the kingdom. But the times have changed, and some villages report strange occurances. In Godfre for example, two children disappeared for 6 days before they returned with their genders switched. Some blame fey, some blame witches. And why did the Crystal Road detoriate so quickly all of a sudden? Not one of the many inhabitants knows, yet...
