Gemer is a tropical mountain nation stretching across hundreds of miles of steep ridges, wet valleys, jungle foothills, and crystal caverns. Its scattered settlements cling to terraces and caravan roads, while mines descend into ruins older than recorded history. Gem wealth supports grand markets and dangerous rivalries, but most people live by farming, guiding, quarrying, or carrying goods through terrain where storms, monsters, and magic can change a road overnight.
