Alabaster Sierras

In the northeastern reaches of the continent, where the waters of the Lucidian Ocean break between the rocky shores of Tal’Dorei, a lush treeline fills the valleys between the chalk-white bluffs of the Alabaster Sierras. This gelid northern territory has for decades been beyond the reach of the Tal’Dorei Council, and fallen under the rule of the Chamber of  Whitestone. However, over twenty years ago, thousands of Emonian refugees fled to Whitestone  to ride out the devastation of the Chroma Conclave. These refugees included the bereaved family of the Last Sovereign. Since those dark days, the Chamber of Whitestone has enjoyed a close relationship with the Tal’Dorei Council. Lady Vex’ahlia de Rolo, a member of the Chamber of Whitestone, also sits on the Tal’Dorei Council itself, further strengthening the bonds of unity between this once-isolated land and the rest of the realm.

Beyond Whitestone, the region’s vibrant-yet-gothic urban center, the Alabaster Sierras are framed by dangerously windy shoreside cliffs and dry, desolate mountains swarming with harpies, cold-adapted wyverns, and other hungry monstrosities. Beneath the peaks, the valley opens into the thickly wooded pine forest known as the Parchwood.  This dense, temperate rainforest is beautiful and lush, but many shadowed threats loom in the dark of the wood.

The northern center of the valley marks a single clearing, where the humble city of Whitestone stands as the source of rule and law in this land. The people here have been hardened through strife and exalted through freedom, enough to know honor and appre- ciate loyalty like few other civilizations do.
