Kingdom of Vyss

Am-Vansa

Surviving on the Murkwhisper River that runs through the center of the ancient city, Am-Vansa thrives in the K`Lori Wastes. One of the cities that was destroyed during the War of Eternals, Am-Vansa was rebuilt in much the same fashion the other major former Moon Elf cities were by the Shadow Elves when they re-emerged. Rebuilt brick by brick, the city of Am-Vansa stands as it once did when she was originally constructed, before the Battle of Fort K`Lori reduced the surrounding land to ruin.

Like neighboring Ta-Ithimar, Am-Vansa continually deals with attacks from the Xar-Kah. However, the attacks are usually only on caravans and supply routes going to and from the city. Since the Xar-Kah cannot see through the illusion that protects the city and continually misdirects them away from it, they are left to prey upon the caravans that know the secret ways into Am-Vansa. This has been largely successful as a tactic, though if they haven't overwhelmed the caravan before they've gotten close to the city the chances of meeting an armed contingent of illusion-cloaked Shadow Elf Mage-Knights is painfully likely.

The city itself is an oasis of sorts, under a strange blue-tinted sorcerous dome that exists over the the city. The dark blue tincture protects the Shadow Elves from the harsh light, while allowing all manner of fauna and flora to flourish within the boundaries of the city. Often a way-point for those wishing to travel the K`Lori Wastes and to Mira's Hope, Am-Vansa enjoys a great deal of commerce from various races making their way across Shalzaar.
