Greywatch

Greywatch is the largest city upon the smallest island within the Jeridian Archipelagos, formally known as "Tine", the island has earned the nickname "Withered Isle" for being the most eroded and least verdant of the four islands.

The events of Rise of the Monster in -33 L.C. changed the face of Greywatch; a monstrous creature rose up from the depths of the Greywatch Keep, and used the building to hold itself upright as its eye gazed across the landscape, meanwhile the Countess Atalia Vorun was nowhere to be seen during this crisis. The Argent Crusade arrived with the assistance of the Order of the Blue Orchid to bring an end to the conflict, and since the disappearance of the monstrous creature, Greywatch has been protected by Argent and Blue Orchid jurisdiction.

Greywatch was previously governed by Countess Atalia Vorun since -10 L.C., she re-established the island's military as her own private bodyguards tasked with the protection of Greywatch Keep; their purpose was to ensure that her plans came to fruition. Atalia refused to spend any of the city's treasury on the inhabitants, and instead focused solely on her own research in the dungeons of Greywatch Keep; her aim was to ensure that nobody ever knew of the truth behind what she had planned for Greywatch.

Greywatch Keep
Greywatch Keep stands as the tallest building within the city and serves as the home of House Vorun, it was constructed in -143 L.C., and contains both an upper level and dungeon. It was designed by Tirasian architects and Alberic Vorun himself, its intention was to provide a sizeable view of the Withered Isle, as well as a stately home for the family of House Vorun.

Religion
Worship of the Holy Light has been outlawed upon the Withered Isle since 22 L.C. where Atalia ordered the immediate conversion of all involved with the practice, or else they were to be trialled with charges of heresy and be imprisoned for an indefinite amount of time.

The Holy Light is not commonly worshipped in the Jeridian Archipelagos, as it is outside of the Church of the Holy Light's sphere of influence, as few as 2% of the entire population worship the Holy Light, 61% pagan and 37% remain undecided.

Culture
The Withered Isle’s population consists of Tirasian and Lordaeronian descent, as such the culture is a mixture of the two. Citizens of Greywatch are often garbed in cotton, dyed in a variety of dark colours and layered for resistance to the cold wind and rain.
