Its northern mountains are so rich with metal ore that their rocks glisten with the daylight. Fortuna is also celebrated for its agricultural bounty, particularly its meat and dairy products, harvested from its fertile fields. The skyline is dotted by floating islands created by powerful leylines that have lifted the peaks of hills and mountains across the land. Fortuna is landlocked, and borders [[Summerport]], [[Valiant]], and is separated of [[Saint Bart]] through the [[Sunset Range]]. Life in Fortuna has a strong aspect of pastoral simplicity, with most people raising cattle and crops to feed the cities and the mining camps. Everyone knows at least one farmer, one rancher, and one miner among their friends and family. The colony has a rich culinary tradition, famous for fatty cheeses and strong alcohol. However, despite the abundance of wealth and resources, life for the common folk of Fortuna is not easy: Dangerous creatures roaming the countryside, native people defending their territory, trickster fey in the woods, sightings of strange lights in the sky, and all sorts of fiends and spirits haunting the night are just among the many threats that await just outside the comforts of civilization. # History At the onset of the colony, the [[Aurorans]] attempted to exploit the natural riches by working with the [[Aturi]]. However, many of the Aturi declined any cooperation, some fought for their land, and those who did negotiate with the settlers soon realized their increasing interest in their mines. With the start of the [[Reign of Terror]], the [[Donataries]] and their armies subdued the Aturi, taking over their mines and forcing them to work along other enslaved people. Sacred Aturi places were stripped of treasures and ore to be carted off to [[Summerport]] to later be transported to [[Aurora]]. Some of the sacred Aturi mines also served as seals that kept dangerous creatures in the World Below from invading, and with the seals now broken, who knows what sort of monstrosities might’ve come out? What the locals will say is that most of the mines were taken from the dwarves by novice prospecting companies, which were eventually absorbed by the [[Golden Horizon Trading Company]] during the [[Reign of Terror]]. With the fall of the [[Eternal Emperor]] and the appointment of a new [[Grand Duke]], the lands and assets of the [[Golden Horizon Trading Company]] were confiscated and given to the [[Fortunan Mining Consortium]], and as a gesture of peace, [[Grand Duke Geraldo Marino de Fortuna]] started to return sacred mines back to the now liberated [[Aturi]]. Some of the sacred mines are still in the hands of the [[Fortunan Mining Consortium]], and many others lay forgotten and unclaimed by the [[Aturi]], taken as lairs by various creatures or serving as passage to the horrors of the world below. # Locations in Fortuna ## Settlements ### Major Settlements * [[Places/Settlements/Saint Jernod|Saint Jernod]] * [[Places/Settlements/Lake Hope|Lake Hope]] *
