Clans with HQ's in Rynvale

Rynvale is the official home of the Torchlight Rebels, a semi-secret society which temporarily becomes active during times of great crisis. Although many members formally heed the banner of another clan, they still serve the call of the Rebels when they are needed. Rynvale was chosen as their HQ so as to strengthen one of the founding ideals that Rynvale is a free-state society, where all are welcome and treated as equals among a peaceful society.

Rynvale is also currently defended by the milita forces of The Fold, who have established a military presence on the island in the form of a Garrison outpost situated on the plateaus overlooking the city proper. The clan also has a presence within the newly constituted Royal Fleet that guards the shore line and Harbor of the island.

Geographic Areas in Rynvale

Dragonlands

In the north-eastern section of Rynvale Island lies a large plateau. On top of this plateau, amidst the rolling hills, occasional chasms, and patches of heavy forest is the largest concentration of Dragons in the known world.

Fog Forest

Fog Forest lies on the western side of Rynvale Island. Perpetually shrouded in the mists and fog that give it it's name, it is also home to a variety of dangerous beasts and critters. And for those who brave the trail through it, on the far side of it lies the Ogre city of Gamorg. It is debatable whether or not the trip is worth the danger for most people.

Gamorg

Located on the island of Rynvale, north of the Fog Forest lies the ogre village of Gamorg. The warchief of this place is Gruz, a hallowed and feared warrior. The mines run constantly here, with the captured from campaigns, mainly goblins, forced to do the labor. This tribal city is currently part of the lands of the Empire of Archmosia.

Port Rynvale

The face of Rynvale Island, the port city which takes the same name is, for the most part, a haven of civility and nobility from the primal surroundings of the Fog Forest and the Dragonlands that flank it to the north and west. Built upon the flat lowlands of the southern coastline, the hardy soil was well suited as a foundation upon which the lavish homes and buildings of the High Elves could be constructed. Not only this, but it allowed for excavation to create an intricate network of sewer tunnels beneath in later years of its existence. The western edge of the area of Port Rynvale is a stark contrast to the peaceful waters of the harbor. Waves constantly crash and mold the coastal cliffs and stones to form a forest of coves and caves. Rumors have it that many men and women of ill repute inhabit these natural dwellings.

Mining is available at the Goblin Slave Mine in Gamorg.

Political Information About Rynvale

Rynvale was established as and continues to be run as a free state. It is a democratic monarchy,ruled by the elected King and Queen of the High Elves, who remain the race of most dominant influence on the island. The role of the King and Queen however, is largely titular and social, the responsibility of governing being delegated primarily to the formal governing body in Rynvale.This is headed by the Governor, who is usually appointed directly by the sitting Royals. Lord Donovan was the first governor of Rynvale and after him, his son. Shen, the last remaining Priest of Xalious and newly ordained Knight of Faith, was the next appointed to the office. During his recent absence, Talisia temporarily took over as acting-governor while Shen was away until he could return.

The Empire of Archmosia, led by Vuryal annexed the city by force, dispelling all of the high elves that resisted and placed the city under the watch of the Resurrected and its allies. With no sitting royals, Talisia became the leader of the Rynvalian government in exile, retaining that office until her marriage to the Archmage Rheven. She passed on the responsibilities of leadership at that time, to the High Elf paladin warrior Arien, who took over the duty of leading the rebel resistance to reclaim the isle.

After months of resistance and multiple failed attempts at pushing back the Imperial forces, allied rebels under the command of the island's unofficial Lt. Governor Arien, stormed the city of Port Rynvale, managing to push back the Imperial presence to the borders of the northernmost city of Gamorg.The High Elf royals have been restored to their thrones and Arien newly appointed as Governor of the liberated city.
