Roustachia

“Roustachia: Forged in Stone, Unbroken in Spirit.”

In the vast expanse of the known world, Roustachia—“The Red Country”—stands as a testament to unyielding strength and raw, untamed beauty. Governed by the indomitable Overlady Serinne Baldursbra, Roustachia’s kratic and stratocratic society is as formidable as its landscape. The capital, Kellholm, rises from stone cliffs, its architecture hewn directly from the mountains, embodying the resilience and ingenuity of its people.

Rugged mountains, sharp rocks, and glacier-dotted lakes dominate the land, with cities embedded deep within the stone for both protection and majesty. Roustachia’s populace is divided into hundreds of fiercely competitive clans, their constant rivalry forging a nation of warriors and tacticians—but also sowing seeds of internal discord. Here, strength is not just a virtue but a necessity, cultivated through the crucible of competition and the relentless demands of the land itself. Under the iron will of Overlady Serinne Baldursbra, Roustachia stands undefeated, its spirit unbroken, its might legendary.
