Bhrindle Vale
Welcome to the enigmatic realm of Bhrindle Vale, a land steeped in cursed history and ruled by the enigmatic and influential Courts of the Vale. This nation emerged from the fragments of a once-divided region, seizing the opportunity to forge its destiny after the demise of the Fallen King and the weakening of the formidable Empire of Falstain. From its inception, Bhrindle Vale has been tainted by an ancient tragedy, forever altering the landscape and the fate of its people.
The ominous mountain range that encircles the country bears the remnants of a slain deity, whose blood seeped into the very earth, corrupting and staining the lands for eternity. The northern location, coupled with the mountainous terrain, brings frequent fogs and haunting mists that shroud the harbors, upper forests, and peaks in an eerie veil.
The Bhrindle Vale is often referred to as the "Cursed Lands" due to the nightmarish horrors and monstrous entities that inhabit its foreboding geography. The Courts of the Vale, comprising 60 members, hold sway over the nation's governance. Thirty lesser seats, 25 Barony seats, and five elder seats form the high council, each wielding significant voting power. The elder seats, in particular, hold immense influence, with the weight of ten other seats combined.
Despite its dark reputation, Bhrindle Vale boasts a rich history that traces back to the time of the Falstainian Empire, spanning countless centuries. The country has a unique array of knights and brotherhoods, whose legacy extends far into the annals of time.
One of Bhrindle Vale's most intriguing and perilous aspects is its possession of the Gate Stone, a rare and ancient artifact that acts as a gateway to the Blood Realms, also known as the Domains of Dread among arcane practitioners. This relic has drawn seekers of dark power and those seeking forbidden knowledge, contributing to the country's reputation as a haven for cults, witches, hags, and various other enigmatic and often misunderstood beings.
In a bold display of tolerance and acceptance, Bhrindle Vale upholds a centuries-old law protecting an individual's right to choose their religion, no matter how malevolent the deity they venerate. This has led to a diverse population, with all manner of creatures, races, and even undead dwelling side by side. However, as is common with any land riddled with political intrigue and supernatural entanglements, tensions and issues persist among its inhabitants.
The dark history of Bhrindle Vale took a catastrophic turn three decades ago during the Enoch of Oblivion. A malevolent Fate-Born only known as Azalon or Z, champion of Tharizdun, the Chained Oblivion, sowed chaos by creating six cults within the country. These cults sought to unleash untold havoc, aiming to free Tharizdun from the Realm of Forgotten Stories, where the other gods had imprisoned the malevolent being eons ago. However, in a remarkable twist of fate, the chosen champion met their defeat, and two mortal adventurers, who rose to divine status, thwarted the cataclysmic plan. This momentous event marked the dawning of the Age of the Fate-Born, leaving an indelible mark on the nation's course.
Within the cursed and enigmatic confines of Bhrindle Vale, dark secrets intertwine with ancient prophecies, and the echoes of long-forgotten deities continue to shape the destinies of its inhabitants. It is a realm where shadows conceal both peril and promise, and where every step into the unknown brings the potential for either damnation or salvation. As the Age of the Fate-Born unfolds, the future of Bhrindle Vale remains entwined with the threads of destiny, waiting to be unraveled by the bold and the curious who dare to venture into its mystic heart.
