Geography
Locust Spire Prefecture is a landlocked administrative division of the southeastern Blessed Isle. It is bordered to the southwest by High Tower Prefecture and Lake Frothtide, fed by the Roaring Waters River descending from the slopes of the Isle’s central mountains.
Economy
The economy of Locust Spire Prefecture is concentrated on rice farming, its landscape coated in a patchwork of rice paddies (around a low central plateau). Locust Spire is also a major producer of alcoholic beverages derived from rice.
Politics
Prefect: Peleps Shaiqing
Locust Spire Prefecture is currently dominated by House Peleps.
Layout
Roaring Waters River: A fast and rocky river, forming Locust Spire Prefecture’s southwest border.
Lake Frothtide: A large freshwater lake, whose shores are dotted with country estates built by the Dynasts of House Peleps. The lake is known for its strong currents, which seem to follow the moon much as the tides of the oceans, and is often dotted with the sails of pleasure boats and racers.
Old Hilltop: Town on a small plateau in central Locust Spire Prefecture, with soils ill-suited for rice. The town is home to a horsebreeding enterprise known for producing hardy mounts of great endurance, and which hosts an annual marathon horse race for riders from across the Realm. In recent years, the plateau has also seen development of several small fruit orchards.
Locust Spire: Prefectural capital, on the shores of Lake Frothtide.
