WORLD OF THE WOUND
Water enters Graufeld by a hundred channels. Near their meeting place rises Grauwall, a city whose bells reach beyond its walls. Between the river streets and the wet country outside, daily survival depends on stone, boats, work and sound.
Waterways cross the western marshes, and Grauwall measures its days by bells. Here streets, canals and tolls are as important to daily life as the towers above the city. The region has its own dark urban ecology.
Water enters Graufeld by a hundred channels. Near their meeting place rises Grauwall, a city whose bells reach beyond its walls. Between the river streets and the wet country outside, daily survival depends on stone, boats, work and sound.
Grauwall is a city of negotiated obligations: fees, crossings, bell duties and the keeping of names. Local memory is held not only by rulers but by bell founders, masons, scribes and neighbours who insist that a lane must not be forgotten. The city is important to the published first novel without revealing what happens inside it.
Reedbeds and grey waterways divide the marches. Grauwall rises from quays, bridges, bell towers and crowded stone houses. Its lower streets share walls with water; beyond them lie low ground, winter stores and roads that must be kept open in wet weather.
The city belongs as much to its craftspeople as to its courts. Bell founders, tanners, boatmen and grain merchants share crowded streets with keepers of records and the people whose names rarely reach a register. The adjacent realm of Valmark meets Graufeld at the old river crossings.
Wet woods, black ivy, reed marshes and canal habitats define the ecology. Bell bats and blind canal fish are noted in the world-building field guide. The ARPG bestiary goes further into dangerous creatures of the lower city, which are labelled as concepts rather than facts about the first novel.
Geography and history follow the approved novel and MYRHA compendium. Game-world concept material remains explicitly marked in linked entries.
