Ardenvale

Ardenvale is the white-aligned court of the Realm on the plane of Eldraine.

Description

According to legend, the first human chiefdom had arisen on spur of stone at the site of Castle Ardenvale. With a crude fortification the band had defied their elven overlords to lay claim to a scrap of solid ground for themselves. The court exemplifies the virtue of Loyalty, and is home to the Circle of Loyalty. A knight must step into the circle, which is created of a brilliant white flame, to prove their loyalty; if they are found lacking they will be reduced to ash. Ardenvale's symbol is circle-bound flame.

In the castle, magic may only be wielded while training or if the castle is under attack from the Wilds.

Ardenvale is currently ruled by the High King Algenus Kenrith and his Queen, Linden Kenrith.
