Atlas Keléstia
This issue of Atlas Keléstia details square DX (Tâvu)
on the Ivínia (IVAE) regional map, as shown in the map
above. Credits: Cartography by N. Robin Crossby, Ken
Snellings, and Robert B. Schmunk. Location notes and
data by Robert B. Schmunk and Jeremy Baker.
Notes: In the data columns, ‘Holder’ indicates the
clan or other group claiming a settlement or area, ‘HH’
stands for households and ‘LQ’ is the average land
quality. Listed acreages are split between land claimed
and land in use (farmland, pasturage, urban area, etc.).
Notations of the form ‘Ivae M9’ refer to other Atlas
Keléstia map issues in the Ivínia region (in this example,
map square M9); in this issue, this may be shortened to
just ‘[M9]’. Similarly, the notation ‘Shkn G1’ would refer
to square G1 in the Shôrkýnè region, and ‘Harn N5’ to
square N5 in the Hârn region.

Blæsby Úhnen from Aálden Fishing hamlet (10 HH) much buffeted by
Satellite Village Ivae DX the prevailing winds off the Sea of Iváe.
Úlrin Thran Lands, Tâvu Tánalaâr Clan Úhnen abhor the site, but as thralls
to clan Aálden they are bound to remain.
Iváe Hav Hârn L1-L2, M1-M6, N1-N8; The Sea of Iváe is the great body of wa-
Sea Ivae A7-AX, B7-BX, C7-CX, D7-DX, ter bounded by Hârn to the southwest,
E7-EX, F8-FX, G8-GX+; Shôrkýnè to the southeast, Hârbáal to the
Shkn A1-AX, B1-BX, C1-CX, D1- east, and Ivínia to the northeast. Its open

Between Ivínia, Hârbáal, Hârn and via the Sea of Ítikîr.

Rénskylby Aáldensen from Aálden Large village (38 HH) used by clan
Satellite Village Ivae DX Aáldensen, an offshoot of Tâvu’s ruling
Úlrin Thran Lands, Tâvu Tánalaâr clan, as their home base. If anything,
Aáldensen have a more blood-thirsty
reputation than do clan Aálden. Válhakâr
Húlarèn alrí Aáldensen is old and has
seven able sons and nephews contending
to succeed him.
Slægthem Øy Ivae DX 1.6 sq The second largest of the Tâvu Islands is
Island Tâvu Øyen, Iváe Hav leagues almost uninhabited except for seabirds
that nest in the stony heath. The isle’s
name commemorates a duel which oc-
curred here two centuries ago, but many
believe it references the ‘bloody hammer’
of the shoals along its eastern shore.
Tâvu Ivae DX Elev 208 The highest point on Tâvu Island is the
Peak Tâvu Øy, Tâvu Tánalaâr ft site of a wooden watch tower 10 feet tall.
From there, a keen-eyed sentinel might
spot a ship more than nine leagues away.
Tâvu Aálden 7.4 sq Ivínia’s smallest kingdom is little more
Tánalaâr (Kingdom) Ivae DX leagues than an oversize thran and a few outlying
Tâvu Øyen, Iváe Hav villages, but it has an outsized reputation
as a home to pirates and raiders. It has
been ruled by clan Aálden since they over-
ran Tâvu Island in tr638 and constructed
a stronghold at Úlrin. Now approaching
age 50, the wealthy King Ódrin alrí Aálden
still leads the occasional raid. (Population
of 1,200.)
Tâvu Øy Ivae DX 5.5 sq Chief island of the small Tâvu chain and
Island Tâvu Øyen, Iváe Hav leagues site of the ‘pirate kingdom’ of the same
name. In a good year, the island’s farmers
and fishermen can produce just enough
to feed the populace, but the isle’s procliv-
ity to storms and other inclement weather
makes such years the exception.
Tâvu Øyen Ivae DX Remote grouping of eight small islands in
Islands Iváe Hav the Sea of Iváe. The isles lie 75 leagues
west of Cape Lýgon [GX], the closest point
on the great Ivínian island of Iváe; 100
leagues northwest of Minâbe Island [Shkn
F3] in Hârbáal; and about 160 northeast
of Kéron Island [Harn N5] off Hârn. Ivínian
seafarers, expecially from the region’s
west, use the islands as a waypoint and
raiders often assemble here.

Tévishus Sôrken from Aálden Fishing village (15 HH) in a sheltered bay
Satellite Village Ivae DX on Tâvu’s southwestern coast. Thrall clan
Úlrin Thran Lands, Tâvu Tánalaâr Sôrken have lived here for over two score
years; a few aged members can recall
their origins far to the south on Hélegat
[Shkn F7].
Úlrin Aálden 22,100 240 The stronghold of clan Aálden is home to
Thran Ivae DX (12,850) 0.91 about three quarters of the folk of the re-
Tánalaâr of Tâvu mote island kingdom of Tâvu. King Ódrin
and his council of captains maintain order
with an iron fist lest friction among its
raiding clans, and between raiding clans
and ‘natives’, lead to conflict.
