Lykara
Lykara, once a wild frontier, now stands as one of the harshest provinces of the empire. Dominated by the dramatic course of the Bloodrift River, which tears violently through the rocky landscape, Lykara remains a challenging place to live. The river and its tributaries carve deep ravines, making agriculture nearly impossible in most areas, while the soil lacks the nutrients needed for extensive farming. The political seat of Lykara is Raventor, a sprawling fortress city built directly into the cliffs overlooking the Bloodrift River. Raventor serves as both a military stronghold and an administrative hub, with its layered terraces housing garrisons, merchants, and a determined populace. The city's infrastructure relies heavily on the river, using a complex network of lifts and aqueducts to sustain life in the inhospitable terrain. The settlement of Viera, located in the southern reaches high within the mountains, serves as a testament to the resilience of Lykara’s people. Isolated from the rest of the empire by its inhospitable terrain, Viera maintains traditions that diverge significantly from those of mainstream Tatharian culture, with whispers of supernatural entities influencing the Bloodrift’s origins.
