Dremota
The City Upon a Hill
"Anoited by Heaven, Crowned by Purpose"
Nestled along the Lucent Ocean, Dremota rises with stately grace—its cathedral spires and marbled academies bearing the weight of history and destiny. Known as the spiritual and political capital of Astralyn, it is home to the Holy See, which governs global faith, and the revered Grand Order of Vena, a prestigious military academy. Streets bustle with both horse-drawn carriages and clattering mechanical vehicles, a symbol of its balanced embrace of old and new. The half-elf President Thaniel Gravos oversees the city with a composed yet forward-thinking hand. Its architecture is reminiscent of gothic English cathedrals with delicate French detailing—stone sanctuaries under sapphire skies.
Savroach - (Sav-roach)
The Frozen Bastion
"Stone Does Not Bend"
Far to the north, buried beneath snow and silence, lies Savroach, the oldest known city of mankind. It is a place untouched by time, proud and unyielding in its ancient traditions. Massive stone fortresses carved into glaciers and soaring minarets forged from frost and iron mark its skyline. Governed by the imposing King Vothel Gheskahn, a dragonborn ruler of divine lineage, Savroach is a guardian of sacred knowledge and worldly stability. Its people shun modern technology, relying on hand-hewn methods and sacred rites to guide their way. Eastern European and Western Asian aesthetics lend the city an austere grandeur befitting its solemn mission.
Levering - (Lev-air-ring)
The Engine of the West
"The Engine Does Not Sleep"
Bordering the Pools of the Fallen and flanked by rugged woodlands, Levering is a city of gears, grit, and glory. Its skyline is pierced by brass towers and puffing chimneys, and its roads are patrolled by clanking automatons of impressive complexity. The people of Levering wear soot like a badge of honor and view their work as a sacred bond with the world itself. Led by the charismatic halfling Chancellor Arorin Proudlance, the city often stands in direct opposition to Dremota’s religious and political influence. Levering’s Nordic-Baltic architecture favors function over form, with heavy timber frames, slate rooftops, and deep-rooted forges that echo with life.
Catricus - (Ca-tree-sus)
The Heart of the World
"The Spirit Flows Where Gold Cannot"
Beneath the golden sun of the southern deserts lies Catricus, a radiant jewel of commerce and culture. Built from sun-bleached sandstone and adorned with jeweled mosaics, its bustling markets, domed sanctuaries, and verdant oases make it a vital artery in Astralyn’s lifeblood. Led by the elegant and wise tabaxi duo, Imperator Ramiir Vartan and Imperatrix Zarifa Vartan, Catricus maintains neutrality in global politics while subtly guiding them through diplomacy and trade. Middle Eastern and South Asian design flourishes in its minarets, spice-laden alleys, and soaring prayer towers. Trade, faith, and prosperity bloom in equal measure.
Zedanel - (Zeh-da-nel)
The Glimmering Ascendancy
"Dreams Burn Brighter"
Perched in radiant isolation in the northeastern reaches, Zedanel gleams like a beacon of the future. Neon signs and towering glass spires dominate its skyline, lit by arcane-powered technology and humming with modern life. Here, culture bends to innovation, and tradition is repurposed in pursuit of progress. Governed by the Scyllian Assembly, a diverse and enigmatic council of six, Zedanel advises Dremota but never commands it—offering wisdom, not dominion. With East Asian-inspired design—lantern-lit alleys, pagodas twisted into sleek towers—Zedanel walks a fine line between utopia and a path beyond return.
The Order of the Vena are the elite fighting force of Dremota, and operate to achieve the goals of it's people and defend all they hold dear.
