Description

The region of Lastfell is centered in the middle of both geographical and cultural versatility of the northern part of Beluaterra. The town is known amongst the people of this great continent as the "Crossroads of the North", a name which speaks for itself. From the west it is surronded by Qual and the Jedinchel Mountains, where the spring of the Great Northern River can be found, mountains that many who were there describe as "travelling hell". From the north it is protected by the lush forests of Wailing Wood and historical city of Unger. On the east, when a man looks real hard, the Bay of Souls can be seen while the Great Northern River slips quietly into it. And from the south, the Great Northern River itself cuts off Lastfell from the neighbouring region of Bil Havil.

Lastfell is a critical region in Melhed. It is the only point within many hundreds of miles where people can cross the Great Northern River from the northern half of Melhed to the southern. The only connection between Lastfell and Bil Havil, northern and southern part of the world actually, if we look north of the Jedinchel Mountains, is a bridge built in the days of old. The bridge and its accompanying ferry are both constructed of heavy timbers, almost the size of full trees. Together they are known as the "Fell Crossing". This characteristic gives a great strategic and military opportunities to anyone who controls Lastfell, so it is not odd that many times in history the region was, nicely said, a "matter to discuss". The region also represents important fortified crossroad region. It is a gathering point for armies where they can get some light repairs and protect the only bridge across the Great Northern River.

History

The history of Lastfell is very rich and significant, although the exact details are lost to the rivers of time. In the Age of Mystery it supposedly belonged to Helonon, a barbaric realm that Argos, hero of ancient Melhed, destroyed. In the Age of Blood it was the property of the democracy of Ar Agyr, based in Unger and was a major defense point of that nation against the Defensive Alliance. During the Age of Reason, it came under Melhed control and was vital in defense against the inhumans of the second invasion. Having destroyed Ar Agyr, the inhumans had free reign over the north on the other side of the river. The walls of Lastfell, built by Bimbo Neuropa, and the reason he gained the Medal for Construction, allowed Melhed's small forces to fend off the hoards. The rulership of Bimbo Neuropa lasted for extremly long time, which makes him the most honoured and loved amongst the people of Lastfell, and is mostly because of him that Lastfell stands proud today. The people have, in his honour, constructed a large monument made of silver in the center of the townsquare. The heir and succesor of Bimbo is a fierce warrior Asterion Arakiss. He is mostly deserved for writing and collecting the scripts, scrolls and handwritings of Lastfell and putting it all in books that were later published. In that manner the region became alive in urban legends and more familiar in the educated world.
