Abaka sits just across The River and southwest of the realm capital, Alebad. Large silt deposits and a warm climate combine to make Abaka a fruited paradise. In the southern parts of the region, where the weather tends to be more tropical, citrus fruits abound from numerous groves. Scuppernong grape vineyards line the northern sections, among other familiar varieties. A small trade route has developed between Vir el Mari heights and Abaka to transport pine resin downstream for one of the more popular wine selections. Added during fermentation, the resin gives this Abakan wine its unique, sweet flavor. An excellent complement to fish or salty meals, much of the wine is shipped northward along the Portion-Alebad-Alowca trade route.1
On the coastal swamps that line the river delta, plenty of quiet peasant communities have grown up rather isolated from society, despite their close porximity to the great city of Alebad just across the river. These close-knit people with a fierce independent streak have fueled and furthered Abaka's reputation as a somewhat dangerous region. All manner of odd legends and rumors have been attributed to "The backwoods Abakan savages" by the more genteel Alebaidan city-dwellers.
