Bounties of AshwheatDuring the Day of Ashen Skies the Havoral Mountain erupted and spewed ash across the modern-day Borders and consequently covered what is known as Ashfield in ash. Shortly after this event a strange phenomena occurred in the surrounding area, where crops would grow at an increased rate - most notably the wheat. This "Ashwheat" soon became infamous not only for its grey-ish colour and distinctly bitter taste, but its filling nature that is heavy on the stomach.

House of the Pale RavenThe Roilsardi House of síl Vivin originated from knights in the Aldresian Crusade that eventually rose as monarchs of Corvuria. In 1340, seeking influence within the Empire of Anbennar, King Davan I plotted to see his second son Valeran to marry and bring nearby Asheniande into the Corvurian domain. This backfired spectacularly, with the cadet House of síl Vivin-Asheniande maintaining its allegiance to Anbennar and with it the lands of Ravenhill and surrounds from Corvuria, sparking The War of the Pale Raven which Corvuria lost.\n\nAdopting the Pale Raven (the opposite of the Corvurian black) as their sigil, the síl Vivins of Asheniande has grown in power considerably since then, combining the harsh mentality of their elder house with the graces required to navigate the intrigues of Anbennarian politics.

The CrestlessAn invisible army for hire, it is rumoured that the Crestless and the Asheniander Army were one and the same. Of course this would mean that Asheniande is pushing and supporting agendas that it should not, and would unwittingly drag itself into wars it had no right being in, but then again, the Crestless are just independent mercenaries acting of their own volition, right?

Ravenhill Dice RollsBuilt upon an old Korbarid fort, Ravenhill survived Daravan's Folly and grew as a place of exiles and undesirables: a city at the edge of Corvuria and the marsh. Eventually it became one of the foremost gambling hotspots in Cannor, though rumours say that the dice there is always loaded in the house's favour...

Memories of LivergraveThe War of the Pale Raven started with a surprise attack from King Davan of Corvuria against his rebellious son Valeran, who had sworn loyalty to Anbennar instead of Corvuria. Livergrave was swarmed by the surprise attack by the untrained yet numerous Corvurian levy, but the attack was held off by the Asheniande army for weeks on end. When the imperial armies came to relieve Asheniande, it was recorded that the Ashenianders had gotten to the point of stacking corpses to create cover against the Corvurian mass.

The Pale Light of Corvuria§g"Corvuria falters, and Asheniande flies. Corvuria sinks to the marshes, and Asheniande stays on high.
