New Ravenfall

New Ravenfall is the Capital city of the lands under the protection and guidance of The Cast . It is located on the eastern peninsula of Nova Regnus. Initially a small town that was established as a haven for people on the peninsula to find refuge in, it has since grown into a large city surrounding what the citizens call Stronghold, a castle built to house the growing population should it come under attack.

The village quickly grew into a town as the surrounding areas were reclaimed, and the thankful citizens allowed The Cast to name it as a token of thanks. In honor of the city The Cast was based out of in their home realm, they named the town New Ravenfall.

Growth

New Ravenfall quickly continued to see growth after the surrounding areas were made safer. The Cast began to split its efforts and work on not only doing things like clearing out old quarries and mines that were previously abandoned to dangerous creatures and beasts, but also setting up a large market to facilitate trade, and building large forges to encourage the development of blacksmithing. Unfortunately, the efforts of The Cast did not go unnoticed. Within 6 months of the founding of New Ravenfall, a demonic force had decided to lay claim to the land at the base of the eastern peninsula. The demons had announced that their plan was to cut off The Cast from the rest of Nova Regnus, and wipe out everyone on the peninsula. As refugees from the demonic occupation flooded out of those areas, many would leave the refugee village of Rosedale that was established, and take refuge in New Ravenfall. It was for this reason and during this time that a defensible castle was built there. It was to act as a place for all to seek safety in, and where The Cast could attempt to hold the demons at bay should the defenses built at the edge of the demonic domain fail. For this reason, the castle came to be called Stronghold by the locals.

The threat of war and annihilation made the people of New Ravenfall a hard working people, and with the influx of refugees seeking comfort in the shadow of Stronghold, the town has grown into a sprawling city. Dirt paths have been converted to cobblestone alleys and squares. As more and more settlements began to establish themselves across the peninsula, New Ravenfall became a hub for trade between them. As word of multiple instances of the demons being dealt serious blows spread, the industriousness focused on war preparations has begun to shift; allowing more artisans and craftspeople to begin to thrive in the large city.
