Enter through the details

Lysara is revealed through roads, work, institutions and the choices people make inside them.

Walk the river capital, from its western road to the heights above the Saren.

Study the region, city, bridges and old systems through approved maps and exact visual guides.

Meet the Rillford circle through work, relationships and beginning-of-series backstory.

Explore an institution built around training, records, treatment and risk.

Begin with pattern, knowledge, control and cost—not a catalogue of spells.

See how travellers, freight, animals and carried weapons pass the Western Gate.

The lands around Lysara

The Saren ties villages, roads and the capital together. Drenwood shadows the southwest. The White Mountains rise beyond the eastern route.

In the world

At the Western Gate, arrival is a sequence of lanes, questions, declared weapons, waiting animals and freight that must keep moving.
