Ordhal

The city-state of Ordhal is a small magocratic city-state located beyond Yssa's Valley, at the foot of the Cordreils mountain chain. It is renowned for its skillful magic wielders, along with the arcane complex called the Pale Spire.

Background
Most of Ordhal's territory is comprised of two biomes: an arid desert to the south and snowy mountains to the north. It is home to many magi, and was originally founded by a group of magi who left their respective homelands due to mistrust, bias, and persecution and sought to establish a sanctuary where magi could feel safe and aether could be studied without political or civic interference.

Ordhalla City
Ordhalla is a city full of towering white spires built on a sheer-cliffed plateau. In a city of intellectual pursuits, the Pale Spire is one of the foremost centers for aetheric research, and offers a school to train young magi.

Government
Ordhalla is governed by a Rule of Three — powerful archmagi who oversee the city along with the Ordhallan High Coucil.
