Territory worth defending
Capture points and convoy routes put the war in the world. Your next encounter can begin on the road to an objective.
The Veilmarch
The light must be paid for.
Once a quiet pilgrim crossing, the Veilmarch is now a borderland of wet stone, reed-choked water and roads raised above the fen. Candlemere keeps its wards burning. The Manse stands broken on the far rise, with new predators in its surviving halls. Beneath the roads, culverts meet old crypts. Every route offers a different kind of danger.
Then the Redmere Seep opened: a new wellspring of veyr that made a forgotten crossing worth a war. The same blood that feeds a vampire can fuel a human ward or pass through a Duskborn transfuser. Carried home, it buys power. Lost on the road, it strengthens an enemy. As day gives way to dusk, the price of every journey changes.
Vampires
The Sanguine Courts
Vampires preserve the manners of an older age in coats ruined at the hem. They wait for the dark, when hunger can become an advantage.
Humans
The Order of the Last Dawn
Humans hold the line with repaired armor, prepared ground and light that must be fueled. Keeping a town alive is work, and the work never ends.
Duskborn
The Duskborn
Brokers, carriers and transfusers, the Duskborn move between enemies who distrust them yet need them. They make a living carrying what neither side can afford to lose.
