The High Walled Kingdom of Estelan Esperan

Where the stars dance and sing

The Kingdom of Dancing Stars, A ivory bastion that can be clearly seen from the neighboring states. Estelan Esperan is at the center of Baile a large and bustling continent. It resides within the deep mountainous passes of the Sky Spine and is the only Lenai run kingdom for miles. Its beautiful towering walls of white stone battered and weathered clearly show it has the ability to stand against any threat. The legends even tell those first Dwarves who rose from the snow witnessed Svenna's tears crash against the stone sides of the Sky Spine and from the impact the earth was moved and churned and the large spire of rock that was left in this wake looked like the walls of a great and powerful kingdom and as such the Dwarves settled within and began to build their steadfast home.|- Michelangelo Gouci, The Wayfinder's Guide to Baile.

"Estrelan Esperan, ai I know the way but unless you in a hurry to fill your lungs with black smoke or ya' pockets with darkened earth then I suggest ye take the scenic route. Trust me ain't a damned thing bright and fortunate about the ol' Kingdom of Dancing Stars and it be best you learn it now fore' ya end up a slave shoveling coal into one o' them big Irons."
