- Patron

Far from the patrol zones of the Keepers of Galluvinchia lies Lorda Gorda, the proudest city in the East. Inhabited mainly by hard-working felinfolk, it shuns the blessings of the gods and prays instead to the Light.
The city is illuminated at night by pink crystals mined deep underground. These crystals are the cornerstone of Lorda Gorda's culture, powering their streets, propelling their ships, and holding something far more personal inside them.

The Pink Crystals¶
At age eighteen, every citizen jumps into the Fountain of Renewal, a ritual that, upon their death, will bind their lingering soul-energy to the pink crystals mined from deep below. The crystals glow with this energy before the souls continue to the Renewal.
Shipwrighting¶
The shipwrights of Lorda Gorda are legendary. Living surrounded by treacherous waves and sea monsters, their technology has evolved to levels that leave mainland harbormasters speechless.
The Library of Eternal Enlightenment¶
Close to the castle of the Maneless King lies a library housing hundreds of texts, some over 500 years old and written in unknown languages, with a notable section dedicated to medical research.
