Starlit Glaves
The Starlit Glaves is a rugged mountain region known for its jagged peaks that pierce the sky like sharpened blades, their snow-capped tips glittering under the night’s stars—hence the name. Nestled among the high altitudes are ancient plateaus and narrow valleys where hardy folk eke out a living, their villages clinging to the steep slopes.
This region is famed for its clear, unpolluted night skies, making it a revered place for starwatchers, astronomers, and mystics who believe the stars hold divine secrets. Many ancient observatories and temples dedicated to Celestial deities can be found here, their spires reaching upward as if to touch the heavens.
The Starlit Glaves are also home to fierce mountain clans known for their warrior traditions and expert craftsmanship, especially in forging blades and armor imbued with star-metal—a rare ore said to be blessed by the cosmos itself. These weapons are coveted far beyond the mountains for their unmatched sharpness and mystical properties.
Despite its harsh terrain, the region thrives on trade routes that pass through mountain passes connecting fertile lowlands and distant realms. Travelers often speak of breathtaking vistas and eerie, star-lit nights where the constellations seem to shift and dance.
However, the Glaves also hold darker mysteries — deep caves rumored to house ancient evils, and restless spirits said to wander the peaks under the starlight. Many adventurers seek fortune or knowledge here, but few return unchanged.
