Location

Cygnisen borders Braevick to the southeast, the Emerald Sea to the north, and the Navarrian provinces of Morraine and Elsum across the Tage Mountains to the west. The province is marked by the dense Cygnis Forest, known for its poisonous flowers, and its position along Poromiel’s northern frontier.

Culture

Though incorporated into the kingdom centuries ago, it retains a strong sense of independent identity, with many inhabitants identifying as Cygni first rather than Poromish.

Relevance
