Wyrfall

Wyrfall is a multitiered city located within the Kingdom of Iscobal.

Background[ | ]

Residing along its namesake, the Wyr River, Wyrfall spans a series of waterfalls that mark where the river flows through the Aeres Canyon. Iscobalians revere the Wyr as the home of divine water spirits, with Wyrfall serving as the central focal point of this creed. Pilgrims gather from all over the to supposedly have ailments healed and futures read, as they believe the spirits of the Wyr flow backward in time and thus bring with them useful knowledge and life-giving energies. Aeon priests, however, deplore the superstitious beliefs of Wyrfall and give the place a wide berth, much to the content of its denizens.

Amid the rocky outcroppings great waterfalls of the city's landscape lies the Temple of the Unseen, run by priestess and seer, Jallacor. The temple has provided a home for many self-proclaimed oracles and prophets, much like Jallacor herself. Known for being very tall but also very beautiful. Whether or not she can actually speak with the spirits of the Wyr river or even predict the future remains a mystery, but there's no denying that she commands a myriad of other supernatural powers.
