The World of COA

Asanha

Asanha is the world the Valkory call home — one world, one capital, and two regions divided.

In Development

A desert realm cut through by rivers of emerald, where medieval mortal kingdoms and vampire society hold an uneasy, watchful coexistence. The Church's influence runs deep in the mortal lands, making discretion a matter of survival for the undead — but Asanha's near-eternal twilight gives the Valkory's shadow-bound powers room to breathe.

Capital City

Altheria

Altheria is the capital of Asanha and the seat of the Valkory — the one place in the world that belongs to neither region alone.

Its skyline rises in towering, beautifully sculpted spires carved from a signature brownish-orange matte stone, worked by generations of Valkory craftsmanship into everything from buildings to sculptures to the city's fences. Markets and homes spread out at street level — the more influential a Valkory, the higher their place in the city — while the Council Chambers sit apart from it all, set high on a dim, fire-lit peak where petitioners stand below the assembled elders.

Two Regions, One World

Asanha splits into two named halves — one bound to endless twilight, the other losing ground to it.

The Desert Side

Veshara

Red sand, dark, and locked in perpetual twilight — fully vampire-safe. This is home ground for Clan Valkory, and where Altheria itself sits, built atop the prison of the bound demon Vesh'kal. Veshara takes his name.

The Green Side

Luminara

Lush, sun-filled, and life-sustaining — home to other vampire clans and to mortal populations. It's also the land that's dying: Veshara's red sands have been creeping into it ever since an event known as the Sundering.

The Zone Map

Veshara's red sand to the west, Luminara's green to the east, split by a political border that doesn't line up with where the sand's actually winning — Altheria off in the west, three rivers feeding a lake in Luminara before it reaches the coast.

Illustrated map of Asanha: Veshara's red desert and mountains to the west, with Altheria's city, and Luminara's green forests to the east, with a lake at its center. A dashed political border runs between them, with roads, rivers, and settlements marked throughout, plus a legend, compass, and scale.
