Verdathal

Overview

Realm where technology and nature coexist uneasily. Governance is pragmatic, engineering harmony rather than inheriting it.

Narrative role

Neutral arbiter between industrial sprawl (Kaerugan/Eresh) and nature-first realms (Eddara). A testing ground for sustainable tech, trade-offs, and treaties the player can influence.

Known facts

Balances elemental flows through engineered solutions.
Relies on scavenged industry rather than endless extraction.
Governance is pragmatic and results-oriented.
Acts as a broker for cleaner tech between rival states.

Mechanics impact

Likely offers crafting/upgrade paths for eco-friendly tech, diplomacy quests to share filtration/power designs, and reputation rewards for maintaining balance instead of min-maxing output.

Relationships

Kaerugan: Exchanges cleaner-engineering designs to curb smog and runoff.
Eresh Emirate: Buys relic tech but insists on sustainable retrofits.
Eddara: Mediates tensions; aligns on limiting ecological harm.
Galport: Trades safe shipping tech to keep routes open.
