Claralux
Cloaked in snow and filled with the smell of charred wood and baked goods, Claralux is a homely kingdom that's built like a large village. The Luxians and other scattered residents who live here are firm believers in tradition and the old folk tales of the Bright One and the Brothers Light and Dark.
The kingdom is rules by a small elden council of family representatives, who watch over the entirety of the kingdom and memorize all the old texts of previous Luxians. Together, the residents of Claralux withstand the cold with warm fires and wings strung together over each shoulder.
