"Truth Needs No Witness."
Hidden deep in ancient forests, House Thornevale is a reclusive and enigmatic presence in the realm. Once part of the Blackmore dominion, they quietly severed ties centuries ago and have since walked their own path — one rooted in harmony with the land and silence before the divine. While others preach dogma, Thornevale listens to the wind in the trees and the dreams of the earth.
Their capital, Crata, is a city of stone and roots, wrapped around a mysterious meteoroid that fell long ago. No foreigners may enter. Even among allies, Thornevale remains distant — mistrustful of outsiders, religious crusades, and the noisy ambitions of men.
Though they appear humble, many believe they guard a powerful secret.
