Full Record

Crow's Throne is the political and symbolic heart of the Dreaming Empire. The city is built atop a massive, flattened mountain whose sheer cliffs rise like the sides of a colossal tree stump — locals call it the Crownroot. At its summit lies a city of blackstone towers, golden domes, and shadowed palaces, all arranged in wide spirals around the Autumn Throne, also called The Throne of Fallen Suns. This is not a city of law or order. It is a city of dreams. Gladiator games, public festivals, market parades, and endless theater are funded by the crown. The nobility sponsor poets, illusionists, and pleasure dens. Dreamleaf is openly traded, and masked galas are held weekly.

Cartographic Notes

All diplomatic recognition and noble titles must be issued from Crows Throne. The Golden Seal of the Empire is stored beneath the throne and applied to all high mandates. The city is protected by the Throneguard and defended by Dream Mages whose illusion sorcery makes direct assault nearly impossible.
