Called a kingdom by its leaders but considered a joke (or a scourge) by its neighbors, the borders of | Called a kingdom by its leaders but considered a joke (or a scourge) by its neighbors, the borders of Co'rys have only recently been defined. Previous to the coup of Francis Vehlor the swampy basin between the former Queen of [[Mistone]]'s realm and the mountains of the dwarves was a no-man's-land; those portions that were useful were controlled by Queen [[Allurial]] (such as [[Fort Vehl]] and Dapplegreen) and the rest were ignored. Not good for farming, haunted by [[unliving]] and either covered in thick tangled forest or sticky muck, the land now called Co'rys found only one use. It was the perfect place for lawbreakers and ne'er-do-wells to hide. | ||
Rather than waste resources and time flushing out every petty thief and brigand, the areas around the Dapplegreen outskirts and the Gloom Woods were left to be time and time again. No kingdom, city or clan wanting to get mired in guerilla warfare. Even during [[Queen Allurial]]'s time only the direct route from Dapplegreen to South Port (now called Fort Vehl) was patrolled. Sometimes called Faht Veeahl due to the [[slow]], drawling regional dialect, the docks are still a welcome sight to anyone coming from the long routes of [[Alindor]] or [[Dregar]], and very welcome to those who have had to sail around the Ulgrid's southern tip. The town, now the capital, was supposed to be under Allurial's protection but the remote location made for a great deal of nefarious traffic which has only increased in recent years. Some say that Fort Vehl is every bit as bad as [[Hurm]], with more illegitimate ships docking than legitimate ones, but many more say it has always been so, and no one really cared. | Rather than waste resources and time flushing out every petty thief and brigand, the areas around the Dapplegreen outskirts and the Gloom Woods were left to be time and time again.
