Perched upon jagged sea cliffs, Capefang stands as Shadowstar’s most feared coastal stronghold, where destruction is power and storms are sacred. Founded by devoted followers of Talos, the Storm Lord, Capefang was raised not to resist the fury of the sea but to exalt it—a city that thrives amid chaos, raiding, and thunder. It does not seek peace or order, only dominance through terror, standing as a living storm upon Shadowstar’s shores.

Set along a guarded stretch of coastline where watchtowers rise above quiet waters, Greenshore stands as Forestlake’s gateway to the sea. Founded in vigilance after the Cataclysm, it is not a city of indulgence, but a watchful port where discipline, foresight, and duty guide every patrol and pier. Where others project power or revel in chaos, Greenshore endures—ever alert, ensuring the elves of Shadowstar are never caught unprepared again.

Rising from the storm-lashed coast as iron and timber bound together by faith, Hatchet stands as the youngest—yet most ferocious—of the Three Castles Confederation. Founded not by kings or councils but by followers of Tempus, the Lord of Battles, Hatchet was forged as a declaration: a fortress-city built for war. Where others debate, Hatchet sharpens its blades, preparing not for peace, but for what comes after it fails.

Shadowgate, the ancient stronghold of the dwarves carved deep into Mount Shadowstar, is the epitome of dwarven resilience and craftsmanship. Its mountain forges—scarred yet unbroken since the Cataclysm—burn bright; its warriors remain vigilant, and its halls still echo with the unyielding determination of their ancestors.

Hidden within the emerald canopy of Linae’taure, Forestlake endures as the heart of elvendom — a city of living wood, moonlit sanctuaries, and ancient grace. Reborn from the ashes of the Cataclysm, it remains a bastion of magic, art, and quiet vigilance beneath Queen Laurelin’s eternal watch.
