Lorvanis

Lorvanis lies to the southeast of Blackspire and is a land steeped in mystery and shadows. Unlike the other nations, Lorvanis embraces the darker aspects of Blackspire’s history, with many of its cities built upon and within ancient ruins. It is ruled by a shadowy aristocracy known as the Ebon Court, whose motives are as enigmatic as the eldritch whispers that drift through their land.

Society:
Lorvanis is home to scholars, mystics, and occultists drawn to its rich history and eerie beauty. Many Lorvanian towns hold strange festivals and rituals that honor ancient powers, though whether these are for protection or appeasement is unclear. The Ebon Court’s governance is seen as both benevolent and terrifying, as they claim to protect the nation from Shadow Isle’s influence but are suspected of harboring eldritch knowledge themselves.

Key Locations:

• Ebonreach: The capital city, built into a massive, jagged canyon that glows faintly with eldritch energy.
• The Archive of Whispers: A vast library rumored to contain forbidden texts and knowledge of the Old Gods.
• The Veilspire: A mysterious black tower said to house an artifact of immense power, guarded by the Ebon Court.
