Averis Keep
In the far south lies Averis Keep, it is surrounded by a vast landscape of woodlands, marsh, and a litter of villages. Serving as the spire of the immortals five. (To be announced later for to) guarded heavily by its Immortals to keep the sanctity of their agenda. The long-standing feud between Elves and Vampires has been a widely known fact that the two are closely related. ​
The council of five once stood as Princes and Princesses of elf blood. Their deaths marked the dawn of terrible magic that unleash the waking of blood elves. The derogatory term eradicated by many, now known as the Vampires. No longer needing to be brought back through necromancy but able to select humans to become their food, their slaves, their children. ​
The skies in Averis are often grey the weather influenced over its high reaching keep to hide the brilliance of the sun. Strong magic keeps Averis safe magic only the vampire council could be capable of. Yet for all its gloom there is a quiet beauty of dead tree forests and wraiths that linger unable to leave this realm for the next. The patrolled watchdogs (werewolves) bewitched by magic enforce another barrier that keeps the council free from intruders.

Within the Keep, vampires have a refined culture of beauty and macabre delicacy. A safe haven for Sites to bleed their pets or train their childer to the art of a vampiric awakening. Younger vampires brought to the keep ensuring they serve their betters and know to whom they should be grateful to.
