Charted City Veridian Shore
Veridia flourishes upon the fertile Veridian Shore as Aethelgard's first permanent city, born from an extraordinary collaboration among mortal peoples and the higher tiers. Human and Orc labour, Dwarven stonecraft, Elven natural harmony, knowledge from the Hydrael, Serpentkin and Aerie Folk, and Chronicler wards shape a prosperous civilisation of pristine waterways, fertile plains and shared learning. Beneath that prosperity, the Verdant Accord has hardened civic life into an increasingly strict hierarchy of magical tiers, casting a shadow over the city's celebrated ideal of harmony.
