The only inhabitants of Necropolis are [[undead]], due to the deadly [[shroud]] of [[negative energy]] permeating the domain. The [[darklord]] of Necropolis is a [[Negative Energy Elemental | negative energy elemental]] that has proclaimed itself [[Death]].

}}

'''Falkovnia''' is ruled by [[Vlad Drakov]], a mad tyrant (and former [[Krynnian]] mercenary) with a love of impaling as an [[execution]] method (an obvious reference to the Wallachian voivode, sometimes known as "Vlad the Impaler", although Drakov also shows echoes of Hitler and Stalin).

Falkovnia produces much of the [[Core| Core's]] grain and wheat, which Drakov uses to fund his war machine. As absolute ruler of Falkovnia, everything is his property, including the population, which are branded with the mark of a hawk on their foreheads shortly after birth (perhaps a reference to Italian fascism symbols).

Drakov has attempted to invade [[Darkon]], the vast domain to the north, no less than four times since Falkovnia was formed, and every time his [[army]] reached the border, an [[army]] of [[undead]] creatures rose again to stop them. Every man in Drakov's [[army]] who fell rose to fight for Darkon. Four domains around Falkovnia ([[Borca]], [[Richemulot]], [[Dementlieu]], and [[Mordent]]) have signed a [[Treaty of the Four Towers|mutual defense treaty]] in the event that Drakov invades any of them, although he believes that they are not worth invading, being run by women and fops.

====Hills====

====Canyons====

The [[Shadow Rift]], the mother of all canyons

====Forests<ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer V, p47">[[Ravenloft Gazetteer V]], p47.</ref>====

The forests of Tepest are ancient. The trees are hardwoods, principally oak, beech and hazelnut, with the occasional spruce or pine. Inexplicably, the trees tend to grow strong, healthy, bent and warped all at once, often with gnarled branches that are so twisted as to recall withered hands. They grow so thickly over head as to condemn the forest floor to perpetual gloom.

*The ''[[Brujamonte]]'' ("[[Hag's Wood]]") or [[Blackwood]] stands south of Viktal, between the [[Vaughn Dnar River]] and the [[Blackmist River]]. Both the [[Vistani]] and the [[goblins]] are said to avoid it, to say nothing of the [[Tepestani]]. It is home to the dread treant [[Blackroot]].

*The [[Goblinwood]]

*The [[Tanglewood]]

*The [[Wormwood]] stands south of the [[South Dnar River]] in southeastern Tepest and reaches across the frontier into [[Nova Vaasa]] where it gradually thins and ultimately gives way to the ''[[Elendighedmark]]'' ("Plain of Misery"). It harbours goblins, Hala's witches, [[Vaasi]] bandits (near its eastern fringes), and the three hag sisters (at is heart) who are the [[Darklords]] of Tepest.<ref name="Ravenloft Gazetteer V, p47,166">[[Ravenloft Gazetteer V]], p47,166.</ref>

*The [[Wretchwood]]

*The [[Wytchwood]]

====Lakes====

The [[Kronov]] which never freezes

===Communication===

====Rivers====

=====Dnar River System=====
The ''Sydligdnar'' ("South Dnar River") is navigable, although not without difficulty in both directions owing to its current, with small ships between the [[Nocturnal Sea]] and the docks at [[Kantora]]. With the right winds, the ''Sydligdnar'' can be sailed. Otherwise it must be rowed. The Vaughn Dnar and the Dnar are too deep to be forded as they merge to form the ''Sydligdnar''. Bridges consistent with small ships pose a manifest engineering problem, but none are mentioned, so ferry service for river crossings would make sense. A ferry service is known to exist between the docks of Kantora and the port of Guldstrand Beach on the sea at the foot of Egertus.

The Vaughn Dnar River is navigable, although surely with progressively smaller craft as one climbs past the Borchava River and the Trished River on the way to Liara. The Vaughn Dnar is not navigable in [[Tepest]] as its waters plunge through shallow but sinuous and boulder strewn gorges.

The [[East Timori Road]] remains on the south shore of the Vaughn Dnar from Kantora until just after the [[Trished River]], inviting the hypothesis that at that point either the Vaughn Dnar becomes fordable or has a [[bridge]] thrown across it that doesn't greatly harm river traffic. To reach that point, the East Timori Road crosses the [[Borchava River]], suggesting that the Borchava is either more fordable than the Vaughn Dnar or that a bridge thrown across the Borchava would do less harm to river traffic than one thrown over the Vaughn Dnar. In [[Liara]] there is at least one bridge over the Vaughn Dnar. There are [[Stone Bridges (Tepest) | four ancient stone bridges]] built over the river between the [[Tepestani Frontier | Tepestani frontier]] and [[Lake Kronov]].

*The [[Trished River]]
*The [[Little Borchava River]]
*The [[Borchava River]] has as its tributary the [[Little Borchava River]]
*The [[Vaughn Dnar River]] has as its tributary the [[Trished River]] and [[Borchava River]]
*The [[Dnar River]]
*The ''[[Sydligdnar]]'' ("[[South Dnar River]]") has as its tributaries the [[Vaughn Dnar River]] and the [[Dnar River]]

====Roads====

*The [[East Timori Road]] runs from [[Egertus]], through [[Kantora]] and [[Liara]], and into [[Tepest]] where it is cut short by the [[Shadow Rift]].

Note: Efforts, subject to continual sabatoge, are underway to cut a road through [[Tepest]] and [[Keening]] to the [[Strigos Road]] in Darkon.

====Past====
*The [[Great Upheaval]] in 740 BC sparked an inquisition against the [[fey]] who were its "cause" and in particular where "responsible" for the disappearance of [[G'Henna]] and [[Markovia]]. This is actually closer to the truth than it appears, for [[Gwydion the Sorcerer-Fiend]] literally dragged the kingdom of ''[[Niurin Scaa]]'' and the [[Arak]] with it to its current position, displacing the lands of [[G'Henna]] and [[Markovia]] in the process.

====Present====
*Repeated attacks by an unidentified party (or parties) on Vaasi efforts to cut a road through [[Tepest]] into [[Keening]] and on to the [[Strigos Road]] in [[Darkon]]. There is discussion among the Nova Vaasans of the need to civilize the Tepestani.
