Bluestar Peninsula
The Bluestar Peninsula is the southernmost region of the Sovranty of Lozar. With a subtropical climate it experiences high humidity and is frequented by monsoons and seasonal flooding. The coastline is dotted with mangrove swamp, white-sand beaches, and safe harbors. Dense rainforest covers much of the interior, except for the cultivated lands around Bluestar Lake.
Some of my favorite people come from Bluestar! The gatormen are tough as driftwood, the kappa fight like fiends, and the frogfolk? They'll drink anyone under the table! The humans and halflings down there are tough as old boots. They have to be, some of the old-fashioned scalyfolk still believe in the Primacy of Scales!
The Bluestar Peninsula at the southern end of Lozar is bounded by the Talinian Ocean to the west and the Vitran Sea to the east. The overland cross-current regulates temperatures, making the region cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
The land is mostly flat and low-lying, with no mountains and only a few low hills. The terrain is covered by swamps, subtropical forests, and has one significant inland body of water, Bluestar Lake.
It's an environment that few can tolerate for long, the heat, humidity and swarms of biting insects repel all but the hardiest. Mortals from the cold north find it miserable, the Scalykind home.
People of Bluestar
The Bluestar Peninsula is governed by the Bluestar Alliance, a confederation of reptilian and amphibious peoples along with other mortals who've adapted to the region. Refugees from the Dragon Empire have settled here amongst those of similar ancestry.
Some of the peoples that live here include:
Gatormen - Lizardfolk who claim the peninsula as their ancestral homeland.
Kappa - Long-lived turtlefolk with a reputation for wisdom and prowess in battle.
Yuan-ti - Snakekin who claim to have reformed their tyrannical ways.
Grippli & Bullywugs - Frog and toad men obsessed with pageantry and etiquette.
Dula-dulas - Axolotl-folk with an unusual life cycle.
Dragonborn - Refugees from the Dragon Empire who bring ancient ways to the outer world.
Kobolds - Wherever you find dragonborn, kobolds follow.
Elves - If there are trees, there are elves. Look closely.
Humans - They've settled where most others wouldn't.
Halflings - Wherever you find humans, halflings follow.
I am old, even for a tree. I told my spouse that when we married, but she insisted we honeymoon somewhere warm. So I pulled up my roots and we went south. I must admit... my sap does flow easier in the sunshine.
It is Florida! Well done This was such a fun read as part being a "Bluestar" resident lol, I can confirm this is accurate.
I really want to add to it, to really capture the flavor! But I'll have to come back when I get closer to my Diamond goal!
