== Brastroma ==
Many consider Brastorma the edge of civilization. It is where the roads end. At its cliffs, there is no further a person could travel. Its people are strong, independent, and without fear. The city is not reachable in winter. Snow piles too high on the roads for non-magical means of transport. Supplies only come four times a year, twice in the summer and once in the autumn and spring. These are times of joy in Brastroma, especially for the children. Because of its isolation, Brastroma moves slowly. People count time in decades not minutes. Building projects happen over the course of generations, not months. This can lead many youths to flee Brastroma as quickly as possible. However, they always find their way back. Some call it the Brastroma Curse. Despite trying to get away, the edge of the world has hooks in your soul.

===== [[Vorov|Vorov’s]] Ascension =====
Brastroma has a special religious significance since this is where [[Vorov]] ascended to divinity. Many members of the Oric Divisky make a pilgrimage to Brastroma at least once in their lives. A group of monks have created a monastery in Brastroma to preserve the history of [[Vorov]]’s rise. They are known as the Order of Ascension. Much of the history of the event is preserved in their written and oral histories.

==== The Gila Viska ====
The Gila Viska is the site of [[Vorov]]’s ascension and the burial ground of heroes. Great leaders throughout pre-Kovorovian and Kovorovian history are buried in these ever-waking fields. At night, the ghosts of the heroes walk and dance. Most never talk to travelers. Even when some try to, the language could be forgotten. Yet, the ghosts seem happy. Hundreds of years ago, a cleric attempted to free their souls from Gila Viska but the ghosts resisted. There is much that is not understood about the field of heroes, but one thing for certain is that those who lie there wish to stay. Apparently, for all of time and beyond. Well, this is actually not true. 

One day a year, during the autumnal equinox, at sundown, the ghosts of all the great heroes leave Gila Viska. They soar away to an unknown place. People have tried to follow before but report the spirits simply vanish. The next morning at sunrise they return. Most appear badly beaten or injured, but the mood is jolly. It is unknown what happens this night. The ghosts of Gila Viska never discuss it. Even magic cannot compel them to (the one time it was tried. The necromancer promptly had their testicles chopped off, was tortured for 73 years, and then was feed to an angry hydra).

Members of the Oric Divisky in the past century have also noted that Vorov is never seen on the night of the equinox as well. Due to him having died in the Gila Viska, they wondered if he knew. [[Vorov]] would not speak of it. When the members of the Order of Ascension were asked the question, they killed the member of the Oric Divisky who asked and left.

==== Ice Harbor ====
Brastroma has a harbor, technically. It is filled with ice most of the year. Only for a few short weeks in the summer can ships fully access the harbor. In winter, despite the best efforts of the local Boyar, the harbor is always covered in ice.

==== Vampire Problems ====
In the winter, Brastroma pulled under the curtain of the polar night. Like all of northern Kovorov, they suffer from vampire attacks during these times. Beforehand, the town likes to hire mercenaries to slay the monsters but there are still always losses. Vampires usually never step foot inside the town limits. They keep to stalking the roads and picking off those who get lost in the night.
