The Grand Duchy of Storm Haven is a sovereign mountain nation carved into the jagged spine of the world. Wreathed in mist and legend, it clings to the high cliffs and shadowed valleys of the Blackspire Range—a land where the sun rarely pierces the clouds and silence carries secrets older than stone. Though modest in size, Storm Haven is a formidable power whose influence reaches far beyond its borders, guided by the creed etched into every blade and whispered in every oath: We strike in shadows. Founded centuries ago by exiles and warlords, the Grand Duchy rose not through open conquest but through precision, cunning, and the mastery of unseen warfare. Its people are resilient, shaped by hardship, and trained from youth to move like phantoms through the mountains they call home. The capital, Eclipse, stands cloaked beneath the eternal twilight of the peaks—a city of towering obsidian spires, hidden passages, and ancient power. The nation is ruled by the enigmatic Grand Duke Don Veryano, a statesman as calculating as he is charismatic. Under his reign, Storm Haven thrives in the realm of secrets. The Storm Court governs with cold efficiency, and the duchy’s elite shadow companies are legends—masters of espionage, infiltration, and silent, surgical warfare. Storm Haven is a realm forged in silence and sharpened in darkness—a place where danger walks softly and loyalty is measured not in words, but in the shadows where blades gleam and disappear.
