Crayton, Arensa
This game takes place in Arensa, a nation known for its natural resources, from its ample forests to its impressive mineral wealth. Much of the continent's gold and silver came from Arensan mines, and their farms produce citrus fruits and rice crops that are shipped far and wide. The nation's wealth and resources enabled it to prosper, and in the current era, it has shifted to exporting culture more than resources. Arensa features a vigorous, if competitive, art community, and the nation's books and movies are in high demand.
Arensa benefits from a warm climate that is tempered by frequent rains and cool ocean breezes. The northern parts of the nation have a low sea level and are dominated by marshes and forested swamps, but the land dries out and becomes more habitable the further south one travels.
The town of Crayton is an oceanside resort town that is well known as a popular location for a variety of monster battle tournaments.
Common Monsters
The northern swamps of Arensa are home to Rhyzo and Chasma. Treconda are not native to the nation, but their numbers are on the rise following their introduction to the area (most likely by careless Wranglers). Further south, in the grasslands, lurk Zephid and Staguar, the latter with lighter-colored coats than their Amorian cousins.
Nappen are also common in Arensa, despite the nation not having much in the way of mountains. Most of these monsters were brought to Arensa centuries ago for their wool and milk, and their descendants still roam the plains today. Nappen make for popular pets in Arensa and are frequently employed as protectors for children.
Game Premise
The characters have arrived for "The Oceanside Rumble," a beginner-level tournament sponsored by the Amateur Monster Battler's Association, or AMBA, as they're usually called. The matches between Wranglers and their monsters will be broadcast on television, making this a great tournament for up-and-coming Wranglers to get some public exposure.
Even without the tournament, the town of Crayton is a beautiful oceanside tourist destination that draws hundreds of people from all over the continent every year, making it a great place for a relaxing vacation.
Game Length
I am estimating that the game will cover six days of in-game time, with each game day taking place over three real life days. This means that we're most likely going to finish up in about three weeks.
