It is comprised of high, steep mountains covered with thick vegetation and an abundance of wildlife. The ocean often teams with fish throughout the year in the deep ocean but fishing can be a dangerous occupation with the rocky shores and many cliffs. Within the mountainous interior all the way to the coastline, tunnels and cave systems twist and turn. Many are natural features of long dried up underground rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the thick jungles plants and animals of many varieties can be found. Minerals are sometimes mined from the ground and fishing is a very steady trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was untouched by habitation for centuries until\u00a0Galanese, after signing the treaty with\u00a0Chadavar\u00a0and establishing the colony of\u00a0Ishedore, discovered it in 790 CE. Alsha was established as an outpost for the growing power of\u00a0Galanese\u00a0and flourished for many decades due to the bountiful resources. But it never held strong ties to the western power, being all the way across the continent. When\u00a0Galanese\u00a0collapsed in 1047 CE, Alsha declared itself an independent city, wanting nothing to do with either the disorganized nations of\u00a0Mienkola\u00a0or the\u00a0Cinan Islands\u00a0to the north or fellow former colony\u00a0Ishedore\u00a0to the south.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, it has been an independent city, growing wealthy off the sea trade and island resources. This history though is far from complete. Most beyond the island do not know this, but ancient ruins abound the mountains and the underground caverns. Such ruins have mostly laid, unexplored and untouched. The locals tell tales of lost treasure and ancient dangers that lurk within the systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alsha is both an island and a city (Alsha City)&nbsp;that operates autonomously from established nations.
