Bravia — The Home Nation
Bravia is where The Signet is set, and it has the character of a place that has been through things. Cold, frequently overcast, prone to hard winters and long memories — it is a nation of old titles, entrenched hierarchies, and the particular stubbornness of a people shaped by difficult weather and difficult history. Its institutions are ancient. Its capacity for injustice, as the Wentworth family knows intimately, is well established.
It is also capable of correction. That tension — between a system that grinds people down and a system that can, when pressed, acknowledge its own wrongs — is part of what makes Bravia interesting to write in. The Dragonspire Mountains mark its eastern border, separating it from Thyl and providing the backdrop for Philip’s campaign. Stormrest, the northern capital, sits in their shadow. It is a fortress city that has been guarding mountain passes for centuries, and it looks it.
