Maliak

"Just beyond the ruins lay the Rheign camp of Clan Arrow. The Rheign were warriors and worshippers of the Moon Rih Reign, who is the oldest. She travels furthest from Gaeven each year to chase chaos away but when she returns shines her moon bright on her followers so that even though the sun does not shine these months, light still shines from the sky. They lived throughout the nations, though mostly in Maliak, and did not adhere to the borders created in the river wars as they fought and won on both sides. They are regarded more as a culture and way of life than a nation by the rest of Gaeven. While the majority of them have migrated to Maliak, some still prefer the warm grasslands of southwest Pahlin and the wetlands of Southern Alras to the cold forests and mountains of Maliak and chose to remain.

Maliak while frigid in temperature was warm in the community. Unlike the remainder of Gaeven, the Rheign clans were one and the same, fighting alongside each other and against each other as any other family does. Rheign are said to be born with a little magic in their blood, giving them gifts of strength and speed. The Nyght Clan in particular, who fight in darkness with their dark vision and with daggers made of iron, are said to be the quickest of them all. Three years ago they welcomed their newest member, Mairghread Nyght, and were anxiously awaiting for the arrival of her silver-handled dagger so that she could begin training. 

Silver from the mountains also flows from the mountain under the Temple under the valleys of the Raven Range to the snow-topped cliffs of Maliak, where the silence was pierced by the sound of the magical waters flowing out of the caves and into the sea below. 

In the remorseless water of deep blue lies what is left of the ancient city swallowed by the Rain god Myrah after the Nott Clan claimed the city during a war with the Sparrow and Nyght clans for control over the powerful lands of the north. Emberhelm had once been flowing with life, but now various personal belongings, crates, and chests leave remnants of a people long gone. Tavernhalls filled to the brim with ale and skeletons of the Fallen Nygthts Daggars in hand, ready to defend their home. Sorrow still fills the city, as does the deadly silence speak volumes to the grandiose celebrations emberhelm saw on her last night. 

However, according to the Sparrows which made their new home along the cliffs after the war, Emberhelm still glows with life. Ghosts of her glory days keeping up the forges and delivering special tokens to those the Rih deem worthy. In Losthall, the home of the Sparrows, Magic comes from the spring in the silver forest. A lake filled with the precious silver taken from the flooded city and rained upon the sparrow land in thanks for their help. Its aura’s pulses in godly energy that radiates into the fields making it some of the most fertile lands in the 5 nations. Some time ago the warlock Mordrid had traveled to Losthall and gifted Arabella Sparrow with gifts similar to his, her house would become the healers of their community, able to connect with ancient magic of the Rih unlike any other. Her great-great granddaughter Annabella was about to move with her husband and eldest two daughters to the town of Emrast where they could aid in the fight against the Order of Man. They left their next oldest child Adelphia in losthall to take care of her sisters and brother." - Morganthra: Asknott
