Velmara

The Nation That Choreographs Power

Aelcarith Castle – The Stone That Commands

Set upon the eastern cliffs of Glimmer Bay, Aelcarith is Velmara’s ancestral seat—part fortress, part sanctum. Its architecture leans toward the sea like a vigilance unending. No gardens soften its walls. No banners flutter in the wind. This is a place where power stands still, and law is etched, not spoken
