The Sorrowed Expanse

Codex Solvaria: The Sorrowed Expanse

Region Type: Wasteland – Southern-Central Solvar
Renown: Bleak, contested, and blood-soaked

“The Sorrowed Expanse is where the world gave up — and where the last fools still believe it can be reclaimed.”

Once the borderland breadbasket between The Verdant Reach, Solkara, and The Ashen Plains, the Sorrowed Expanse has since withered into a graveyard of ambition. Its riverbeds are dry. Its trees are twisted husks. Its skies, too wide and too empty, offer no shade and no grace.

Here, the soil remembers flame, and the wind mourns what might have been.

In the wake of the empire’s fall, New Veyron—under the command of Ish-Elara of the Severed Path and her war-born scions—has made this wasteland their stronghold. Fortresses, siege-foundries, and ritual war-camps rise from shattered stone and scorched ground, trying to plant a new empire in cursed earth.

But for every banner raised, a rebellion blooms.

From the crags, ravines, and storm-split mesas, outlaws, heretics, and freedom-born exiles strike back. The Expanse hides many things: buried shrines, sealed weapons, and memories the gods themselves refuse to acknowledge.

And some say even the land stirs, angry to be ruled again.

In Play:

Ideal for characters forged in desperation, defiance, or the ashes of failed empires
Especially suited for fighters, champions, warpriests, sorcerers, inventors, witches, or rebel rogues
May begin with:
A war-sigil carved into old bone, worn down by heat and time
A half-finished oath, spoken beside a forgotten river
A mark of exile, branded by New Veyron or blessed by the land itself
