The Shriveline

This district is home of the Ascendancy within The Fairelands, where religious figures and zealous Ascendants have established their homes to live alongside the Church. The Shriveline features elevated bridges crossing over bustling streets, connecting houses of worship, cemeteries, parks, and charitable institutions. The residential homes in this district are primarily owned and rented out by the Ascendancy, providing a massive source of taxless revenue for the Church.

Though most buildings here are older and display Gothic architectural design, many of the interiors of the Ascendancy's most prestigious churches are renovated with an Art Nouveau sensibility. Some members of the church are working to bring the church into the new century, but the Cardinal of The Fairelands is a staunch advocate of tradition.

Points of Interest

Church of the Holy Mother: The famous tower cathedral within the city that attracts visitors, both religious and secular. During the time of Oldfaire, the people of The Fairelands held particular regard for Empress Iomene. In an effort to convert those within the region that still practiced alchemy, the Ascendancy highlighted the importance of their mother goddess.

Shriveline Catacombs: This network of catacombs snakes through the upper layers of Oldfaire ruins, forming a maze of hideaways that Pyre uses for many of their secret rituals. Filled with graves, smuggling caches, and illicit meeting places, the catacombs are as haunted by occultists as they are by the spirits of the undead.

Sacred Ascension Cemetery: This cemetery is filled with new burials and graves so old there are no longer markers to denote them. There was an influx of internments during the war, requiring groundskeepers to dig up and dispose of a vast number of unattributed corpses. The wooden fences aroudn this burial ground are covered in straight pins, hat pins, and needles.
