< The Reach >
“And Yet, We Stand.”
In Character Information
Nestled amidst the rugged northern peaks of Arathi, the Duchy of Lion’s Reach exudes an aura of grandeur, defying the unforgiving icy expanse that surrounds it. Rooted deep in the history of Arathor, this land has been home to generations of inhabitants who proudly trace their lineage back to the first human tribes that braved the Highlands. From the stalwart warrior to the sharp-eyed ranger, the scholarly mage to the wandering druid, the Duchy of Lion’s Reach seeks those who wish to see the North prosper, those with the strength to survive the harshness of our world alongside kinsmen in arms, and those who wish to serve a purpose greater than themselves.
In more recent times, Lion’s Reach has turned its gaze outward, fostering connections with the world beyond their fortress walls at the behest of their noble Lord and Lady. They have found new purpose in the exchange of their valuable resources: timber, weapons, and trade tools. However, the untamed wilderness still carries a fearsome reputation, warning travelers to steer clear of its rocky paths, where savagery and hostility persist toward outsiders. While the culture of Lion’s Reach remains steeped in ancient traditions of brutality, conquest, and strength, those who prove themselves as steadfast allies to the Reachmen will discover a level of loyalty and dedication unmatched in defending their honor.
