Cormalia
The source of "Light" and theocratic center of Faith in the Embercradle
At the Southern edge of the valley lies the intricate web of Cormalia, a coalition of religions working in tandem to ensure their shared survival. This society prides itself on the balance of power—a conclave of representatives from each region strives to reach harmony through diplomacy and trade, utilizing the volcanic resources to fuel their economies. Innovation and collaboration are their hallmarks, with lush markets filled with exotic trades brimming with both commodities and knowledge. While they face external threats, the internal rivalries keep their politics vibrant and unpredictable.

Each church maintains their own standing force. Each of these forces contributes to an independent interfaith City Guard Led by Captain Verrix that maintains safety in the streets and protects the city from outside threats.
