The Northern most portion of the empire. The Warden of the North, Beatrix Warshadow has worked hard to allow the northern gate of Rho Aias to earn the title of the Bloody Gate. Chief Justice Kayneth Stilvaletti has done much to give Warshadow immense authority in Velners capital of Belvadier. Velner enjoys a close kinship with the Kaiser, and has enjoyed their protection for many years.

She is fond of allowing her critics to come to Velner, known for the saying “The Bloody Gate always needs a fresh coat of paint.”
