Muertevera

Muertevera is a kingdom unlike any other in Moria, a land steeped in reverence for death and the mysteries it holds. While most of the world curses the god Moria for creating its unforgiving deserts and searing heat, Muertevera alone embraces him, venerating death as the one certainty binding all life. Here, death is not feared but celebrated; festivals of remembrance and acceptance fill the calendar year-round, the streets alive with music, painted masks, shadow-lit lanterns, and dances meant to honor both ancestors and the god himself. To live in Muertevera is to walk daily in the presence of mortality, yet to greet it not with despair, but with joy and color. This philosophy has made the kingdom both infamous and admired—viewed as macabre by its critics, yet enviably free from the fear of the inevitable.
  Though its land shares the same sweltering heat and arid climate as much of Moria, Muertevera is blessed with winding rivers and crystalline oases, where cool waters shimmer like jewels amidst the sand. These sanctuaries provide relief from the burning sun and shape the rhythm of daily life, with bathing and resting in the waters a cherished communal pastime. Yet beneath its serene waters and celebratory spirit lies a power that unsettles outsiders: the Green Mage. Masters of shadow manipulation, these mages control shadows cast by the sweltering sun. To its detractors, the kingdom is dangerous—heretical in its worship of Moria and its embrace of shadows—but to its people, Muertevera is thriving, its culture a fusion of reverence, resilience, and an unshakable acceptance of what all others deny.
