" I'VE FELT SNOW FRESH FROM THE HEAVENS, AMONGST THE MOUNTAIN AIR "
THE BALANCE
Home to incredible peaks and deep valleys, The Balance has two embodiments serving as its regents
A core essence...
Order
...and its counterbalance.
Chaos
Built into the side of a mountain, the fortress of Falterstone belongs to the embodiment of chaos.
Over 250,000 years old, Valmore is the longest standing structure in The Balance.
The bones of Orterra’s last dragon, Aterosk, now rests atop the mountains of The Balance. His death at the hands of an alliance of six great heroes is commemorated each year on Atrilarium Day.
The longstanding bells of The Balance are also known as Doom’s Chorus.
The beloved game, Dragons and Riddles, is said to have first been played in Cliffsbreak.
At one time, Tetricore was the tallest tower in existence, a place of independence and freedom for those who no longer wanted to live within the existing hierarchy of Orterra. Its destruction was such a critical moment, that record keepers now measure history as Before and Post Tetricore.
Looming above The Balance atop a platform of raised stone, Highdenhome castle is the abode of the embodiment of order.
The prison for Orterra's great and terrible.
Once a shared mining site used by residents of The Bliss and The Balance, Craven’s Mountain is now an abandoned monument to greed and horror.
Over five hundred years ago, a shining star fell to Orterra. Throughout the centuries since, its endlessly burning embers have produced countless settlements, prophecies and religions.
