Teek

Thumbnail map for the City of Teek

Teek is a walled city that is larger than a mere village or town. A powerful river (called the Bessh) comes down from the north and passes through Teek coming out on the East toward lake Diamond-Shine and eventually Hedgeport at the Great Sea.

There are four roads out of Teek.

  1. The narrow road to Goodfaith on the North and after a short way a bridge crosses the river Bessh.
  2. Road to Bansu Castle on the South. This is the most heavily traveled road out of Teek.
  3. Road to Hedgeport on the East.
  4. Road to Ryia on the West.
