When travelers speak of the Old Country, they are referring to the sprawling lands of Mordavia, a wintry realm bordering the very edge of the world. The land of Mordavia is covered in old, hearty trees that have steeled themselves against its bitter, yearlong winters.
Mordavian edifices are ancient, stretching back almost to the age before the High People's rule. Its people are superstitious, deeply religious, and often skeptical of outsiders. A large population of Mora gypsies reside here, and historians believe this is the land of their origin. Civilization centers around two great cities: The Barony in the north, a vast countryside overseen by a series of noble families who are constantly plotting against each other, and Sibot, the City of Twilight, in the south, which is ruled quietly by several mysterious Lords from the Castles Cetatis and Vaun. Both rulers descend from the Lords who abandoned their oaths when the Lords' Alliance was broken.
In Mordavia, the Mora is mostly worshiped, but there are hints of the Sylvan Pantheon and even the Elder Gods among its people's diverse faiths. Shrines to the Rasan gods can be found in Sibot and the outlying villages in the east.
