Ravenguard Kingdom

Ravenguard is a matriarchal kingdom of drow located in the northern part of the continent, comprised of The Nest and various other drow cities. It's not necessarily a safe place to travel through or live in.

Its ill-advised to travel through Ravenguard's territories without a knowledgeable guide or escort. Vegetation is scarce if not poisonous and its wildlife hostile. Traveling underground without a competent escort comes with a high risk of getting lost, caved in, or falling prey to the creatures that call the subterranean area their home.

Geography
Although Ravenguard boasts a large territory, much of its land is inhospitable. It sits in the middle of a mountain range and a sea, with an active volcano located at the westward side. These mountains are rugged and bitterly cold, but rich in raw, natural resources, which is a stark contrast to the bleak flatlands that make up much of its territory. Sources of clean water is found here but water tends to become contaminated by acidic rain the lower in elevation it travels.

A large majority of the territory is filled with barren lands, cold weather, and overall bleak atmosphere. Ravenguard rarely sees direct sunlight as gloomy clouds or thunderstorms are always overhead. Most of the landscape lacks any vegetation or notable landmarks, making settlements on the surface scarce.

Enormous subterranean caverns and tunnel systems lie beneath the earth's surface and this is where the majority of its population has taken shelter.

Weather
The weather is notoriously gloomy and bleak in Ravenguard. Perpetual clouds constantly block sunlight. Thunderstorms and acidic rain are very common. The land has longer winters and falls with shorter springs and summers. In the winter time, daylight hours are scarce. It's not unheard of for Ravenguard to have no daylight at all for days in the winter. To say Ravenguard's weather is relatively cool year-round isn't inaccurate and it's downright cold or frigid in the areas that are tundras or experiencing winter.

Inhabitants
Ravenguard's inhabitants are a dangerous lot, from monsters to drow that have learned to adapt in a cut-throat environment. Most of them are driven by self-preservation and are chaotic neutral in nature.

History
Ravenguard is a civilization of drow that broke off from those that live deeper underground, deciding to push closer to the surface under the leadership of Andromeda Torrret. Some of their settlements still live beneath the surface and others have taken occupancy above ground.
