Redstone Funerarchy

The Redstone Funerarchy, a solemn and sacred kingdom steeped in remembrance and craftsmanship, stands as one of the most untouched and reverent lands in all of Lucis. Its vast red and white cliffs, jagged and treacherous, have made the region difficult to access, which preserved it for generations—shielded from conquest, expansion, or exploitation. Over the centuries, the many kingdoms and cultures of Lucis came to view Redstone as a land of final rest, choosing it as the place where the weapons of fallen warriors, heroes, and loved ones would be buried—not only as tribute, but as a means of laying their spirits to peace.

This long-standing tradition birthed the Funerarchy, a unique government founded on the protection, documentation, and sacred upkeep of these buried relics. The Funerarchs, who govern the land with quiet dignity, are not political figures, but instead keepers of memory—charged with preventing desecration by treasure hunters or bandits who seek to rob the dead of their legacy. As this duty grew in stature, settlements formed around key burial sites, inhabited by guardians, spiritualists, and scholars of arms.

Over time, Redstone evolved into a center of blacksmithing wisdom and innovation, becoming the official heart of weapon craft in Lucis. Massive academies were founded across the cliffs, where young blacksmiths study not by forging alone, but by pilgrimage—accompanying their mentors to resting places to observe ancient weapons in the exact state they were left, gaining insight into design, technique, and even the aetheric imprints of their wielders. The tools of the past are never touched, only respected and studied from afar, as any disturbance is seen as a disruption of peace.

Today, Redstone serves a dual purpose: a national graveyard and a global classroom. It is a kingdom of stillness, echoing with the memory of battle and sacrifice—where the clang of new steel is not for war, but for understanding.
