Gummie Land
We shall start with the Highland Forest, a little misleading. The highland is
more for the northern elevation than to say it is at a high altitudes. This
forest is part of the Great Forest of the north where the Blue Gummie Bears
live. However, the Highland Forest lies in Green Gummie territory. The north
and west side of the territory is mostly cliffs meeting the water. The south is
gentle rolling lands with beaches on Vanco bay. The Green Gummie territory
is rules by Queen Martha Zoie from the village of Lauraindale at the end of
the Kings Road. The Green Gummies are mostly known for ship building The
ship yards are on the south side of Grimondale. The queen has a small royal
fleet, however, most of the ships on the water are for fishing.
At the border of the Green Gummie Territories and the Blue Realm, high in
the hills is Tempa. It was the original meeting place when the gummies were
new to the land. This is where all the leaders of the gummies gathered to
negotiate where they would live.
Just east of Tempa is the Blue Realm. The land of the Blue Gummie Bears.
They tend to keep in the norther forest. The Blue Realm is ruled by King and
Queen Hipstan. There is only one common village, Alyahten, in the Blue
Realm. Although, the Blue Gummies live throughout the norther forest. The
Blue Gummies are know for their wood craft skills. They build most of the
wagon and carriages in the lands.
The Red Gummie Bear Lands spread from the Northern Sea, into the north
eastern parts of the Great Forest. Down to the base of Mount Akbar and to
the Northern Mountains to the east. There are also two main villages in The
Red Lands, Chara to the west and Perna to the east at the base of the
Northern Mountains. The Red Royal family is in name only. They have lost
most all their influence to the Trades Guild. The Red Gummie Bears are
known for their Metal Craft and Blacksmithing.
East, over the Norther Mountains, lies the Yellow Gummie Bear Land. It is
occupied mostly with small villages and the gummies live simple lives here.
There in no formal government in the yellow lands. They rule by elected
council, when necessary, or when representation is needed with another
gummie clan.
Just west of Mount Akbar is the Gumdrop Kingdom. In the early days, the
gumdrops were very social. They helped create the great gathering of the
gummie council at Tempa. They were the major influence in building The
Kings Road as well as establishing Gumdrop Castle as the main trading post
for all the lands. They protected and maintained The Kings Road for
generations. However, as of late, the gumdrops have locked their doors to
outsiders. Rare to be seen at all. Once what was the largest trading post in
the land, now is beginning to look like an abandoned dark castle. Traveler on
The Kings Road now swing wide and hopefully out of view of the castle, not
wanting to disturb the occupants.
To the south-west of Gumdrop Castle, west of The Deep and in between
two rivers lies the Fields of Orange. This is the Orange Gummie Bears Lands.
The Orange Gummies have one main village, Collumdale, that they gather at
for trading, news, and entertainment. Otherwise, most live in small rural
farms or ranches.
To the west of Collumdale are the plains, the northern pasture are mostly
ranch lands that turn wild as you get closer to the sea. To the south, this is
all under the rule of the worms.
Then, there is “The Deep”, a huge inland lake just to the east. Fed by
mountain runoff, two rivers breakout of the lake. To the north, The Metineve
River. The Northern branch reaches all the way to the sea. Its southern
branch feeds the fields that the Orange Gummie Bears tend over. The
second river to breakout of the lake is Holden Falls, Holden River. The falls
attracts travelers, the road up the side has been worn in, wide enough for
two wagons to pass. This is the part of The Kings Road that leads through
the mountains to the Purple Gummies lands. The Holden River also forks
into two branches. The northern branch feed the fields just as the south
Metineve does. The southern branch does flow to the sea in the rainy
seasons, but more accurately feeds in to the marshes that separate the
gummie lands from something in the south.
Through the pass is where the Purple Gummie Bears live. They have no
villages being a nomadic people. They move north and south depending on
the season, sometimes to a new location, sometimes to an old. The tribes,
although they can be quite spread out all answer to the chief. Disputes are
settle by a circle of elders. Much of the rope on the Green Queens fleet
originated with the Purples. They are also know to be excellent horse
trainers.
And then the last, or shall we say the lost, the pink gummie bear tribe and
their white queen.
