Souvrael
Work in progress: this page describes the Souvrael setting we are building toward, and current game content differs in places.
Souvrael is the great desert domain of Blackmar. Its walls rise from the Segovia Desert, its beaches touch the Gearnat Sea, and its roads vanish into dunes, oases, pyramids, snake temples, and older empires buried under sand.
Where Ashad is mechanical, Souvrael is mythic. It is a land of sultans, caravans, veils, scimitars, date palms, gold mines, ancient curses, and temple doors that open only when the desert accepts the question.
The city of Souvrael is a walled desert hub of markets, banks, temples, opium dens, docks, and trade. The Segovia Desert surrounds it with vast dunes, stone trails, salt wind, heat shimmer, and routes that only patient travelers learn to trust.
The Gearnat Sea is Souvrael's harbor route into the wider world. Water sellers, camel yards, bazaars, desert guides, and noble houses turn the domain into a place where survival and commerce are never far apart.
