Overview:
Ravenspire is a cold and windswept kingdom built upon the open frost hardened plains of northern Arnum. With no mountains to shield it, the land is left at the mercy of the winter's wrath: howling blizzards, sudden icequakes, and hailstorms that can tear through stone. The flat horizon offers no refuge, so the people of Ravenspire have become the refuge themselves: disciplined, relentless, and forged by the storm. The kingdom is fiercely militarized, its cities designed like fortified camps, with high walls, iron gates, and garrison towers standing guard over a land that never yields warmth.

Major Districts:

  • The Iron Barracks: An immense militarized zone at the center of the capital, filled with sparring arenas, siege equipment, and towering forges. The rhythmic clang of metal echoes day and night as soldiers and smiths shape Ravenspire’s survival.
  • Frosthold Keep: The royal seat of Ravenspire, a brutalist stronghold surrounded by layers of defensive earthworks and siege ditches. Built for endurance rather than beauty, its walls are thick with enchantments to resist the worst weather.
  • The Veiled Quarters: A quiet district of narrow alleys and modest homes, outwardly unremarkable but secretly the base of operations for the Ashen Sigil, a clandestine organization of spies and infiltrators.

Notable Features:

  • The Warding Spires: Dozens of blackened pylons scattered across the plains, believed to deflect some of the magical chaos of the storms. Though partially effective, they are crude imitations of the enchantments used by Blackreach.
  • Stormbreak Trenches: Deep stone reinforced trenches cut into the plains, used to move troops and supplies safely during whiteouts and hostile weather.
  • The Ashen Sigil: Ravenspire’s hidden dagger, this secret association of spies and saboteurs works from the shadows, tirelessly attempting to uncover the arcane secrets that allow the neighboring kingdom of Blackreach to defy nature’s fury.

Ravenspire survives where others would flee, but its pride is stained by envy. As their neighbors bask in comfort beneath enchanted skies, the warriors of Ravenspire steel themselves for the storm and for the day they seize what was denied to them.
