Cultural geography
The Olarian Peninsula has long been inhabited, evidenced by the presence of deep mining shafts under Isvik, and a landscape dotted by ancient ruins as well as a desolated village. The most prominent of these features is the Garden of Eden, an ancient, sanctuary that has provided centuries of travellers and adventures with food and safety.
Most of the current inhabitants however are descendant from waves of migration to Prospit, and currently the peninsula is home to the towns of Archivia, Isvik, Port-au-Nixe, Zusammenflussberg and a handful of farms, camps and outposts.
