Horn's Light

Nestled on the southern horn beyond the Hesan mountains, the city-state of @Virelli, Horn’s Light is a city-state—isolated by towering mountains, yet open to the sea. Though not formally part of @Veloria, @Horn's Light has long had a cultural alliance with Veloria.

@Horn’s Light's architecture blends coral stone and sea-glass mosaics, with winding canals and cliffside terraces that overlook the deep. Its temple to Stella Maris is modest but radiant, often built into the rock itself, with altars that face the tide. Its festivals honor both the goddess and the horn’s ancestral spirits. The city is governed by a Council of Tides, a rotating body of merchants who answer to no crown but maintain positive relationship with @Anselm XI, Potentate of Veloria.

Recent Concerns

With the @Hesan Empire recently taking @Alendria , an ancient country between Veloria and Horn's Light There is talk in the @Chamber of Stella Maris about the implications for Horn's Light's sovereignty. Veloria has historically seen Hesan's navy as small and weak, yet Hesan occupied Alendria is now a choke point if Veloria is ever called to protect Horn's Light.
