Once known as Alyss, Vanalor is the frozen capital of Rivelium, located at its most northern region, known for its prominent worship of the faith, its history of royal houses and lineages, and its frozen agricultural landscapes. Vanalor is one of the most historically significant cities in Rivelium, and up until the Fall of Alyss, was home to the throne that mystically bound the Gods to the mortal realm.
