Welcome to the official home of The Assassin Priestess.
I had worked a forge for seven hundred and thirty-two years when a nightmare entered my workshop.

The High District occupies a gentle rise overlooking the Shad’li crossing. At its center stands Valentien’s Fortress, originally built to defend the river and now serving as the royal palace of Valmark. Its commanding position and proximity to the crown have made the district the preferred home of the city’s nobility.
The Embersteps District stands upon a low rise near Valmark’s southern wall. Once known simply as the slums, much of the district was destroyed by a devastating fire several decades ago. It was rebuilt in brick and stone, though its narrow streets still twist unpredictably between crowded homes, workshops, and small neighborhood markets.
The Northern District is known for its workshops, warehouses, and small merchant houses. Although it sees fewer travelers than Valmark’s western and southern roads, much of the city’s timber, ore, stone, and other raw materials enter through its gates from the northern forests and mines of the Northern Mountains.
