Fire remembers. Ice forgives nothing.
The map ends at the ice. Nothing charted goes further.
Verdant Hollow
the last green valley, source of the Verdigris line
Cindermoor
the ash-grey capital, seat of the throne
The Frostmere
a frozen inland sea, home to the Frostopal line
The Veilwall
a continent-spanning ice barrier at the realm's northern edge, beyond which nothing charted returns
Maren Duskbind
THE OLD CAPITALThe first to seal an egg in stone, founder of the Reign.
Corwin Ashvane
THE GREEN VALLEYBroke the seal on Verdigris to save Verdant Hollow from famine.
Isolde Frostmere
THE FROZEN SEAWalked the ice a hundred leagues to bring back the Frostopal egg.
Tomas Grael
NONEThe last knight to return from beyond the Veilwall — he came back changed.
Ryn Obsidian

The throne does not ask who is worthy. It asks who is willing.
