Thran

The Shrouded Lands
Thran is an oft-forgotten land on the north west coast of Acheamen. Bordering both Achaemen and the Winter Court, few travel to or from there. Those who venture there and return describe the place as remnsicent of Khaz Vedran, but always mention the pervading feeling that something is off. Priests of Armela who go off to map the region come back always with a different map, leaving many to believe the land is under some strange curse.

The Truth
Thran is actually domain of the Fey, ruled by Anorrin, grandson of the Winter Queen. His father and the region's namesake, Thraniel, attempted a coup against his mother in 187/0. He gathered the various despairing tribes of the region and rallied them as a suplementary force of his warhost. After his defeat in 191/0, he was banished to these lands in exile. Little did he know his mother had cursed him to slowly and painfully die by the following summer.

Of Fey Lord ancestry, Anorrin has done what he can to maintain Thran as a Feyland. Guarded by numerous bewitching wards, it enjoys relatively calm weather, albeit still observing the extreme seasons of Castores. It is inhabited primarily by Dwarves, Kyn, and Elves and represents a curious mixing pot of their cultures. They are a very insular society, not fond of outsiders.

Despite their exile, their proximity to the descendant of a Fey Lord has allowed them to keep their 'Court' status, however some do lose their powers, known as the 'Wilting'. Anorrin however, to maintain his realm, has secretly resorted to Vampirism.
