Nephalia
Nephalia is the coastal province of Innistrad. Dwellers interested in trade are attracted by a number of small-to-medium port towns, most situated at the mouth of a river that leads further inland.
Description
Nephalia's sloughs, sea mists, and mysteries cloak its commerce and crimes; it is populated mainly by humans, geists and vampires, all of whom seek business, secrets, or solitude. The province's silver sand beaches, punctuated with rocky promontories and sea caves, afford easiest access to its fog-shrouded ocean.
Merchant caravans fill the trade routes between the cities of Nephalia, and unscrupulous alchemists and necromancers traffic with sinister items in the underground body market of Nephalia. Many coastal cities of Nephalia are subject to Nebelgast, the salty mist that rises and falls with the tide, leading hordes of geists from countless shipwrecks.
In Nephalia, skaab stitchers and deadcallers can be found in remote areas where they practice their dark arts without much interference from the suspicious citizens or avacyn authorities. Both must remain secret because its trade is feared by the human population. However, Stromkirk vampires and merchants of Nephalia only see the potential profit, so its arcene charms and its sinister services are tolerated while they are only a rumor.
