Velgrave

a
atealdmwithadream

A mist-shrouded land where cobbled streets hum with steam engines and arcane energy alike, Velgrave is a beacon of unity between species and forces—magic and machine, dragon and dwarf, elf and human. Its rolling green hills, jagged mountains, and glimmering rivers make it a land of both ancient power and modern innovation. While progress churns in its cities, the countryside still clings to old secrets and forgotten spells.
