Aholvn Warake, the Guarding Wall
The region known as Aholvn Warake holds a unique presence. It is an expansive area protected by a combination of arcane perimeter and spiritual guardians summoned and overseen by the Nokose, the revered shamans and loremasters of the land.
The Aholvn Warake encompasses the occupied lands and the approaching waters of Vethr Ikk, forming an invisible boundary enforced by intricate protection formulae. At its core is a solitary tower constructed from wind-blown woods and stones found along the nearby shores. This watchtower serves as both a visual landmark and a focal point of the protective boundary.
Visible from over a mile away, the tower of Aholvn Warake stands tall and acts as a guiding light during the nighttime. It is a symbol of unity and strength, reflecting the Nokose clans' commitment to safeguarding their ancestral lands.
Within the Aholvn Warake, the Nokose and Yahv, the people they protect, can freely pass through the barrier without hindrance, unless they have been exiled, a punishment considered more severe than death and rarely imposed. Other natural creatures, harmonious with the land, can also traverse the boundary without issue, recognized and acknowledged by the spirits and magic of the region.
For outsiders and those not marked by the clans, attempting to breach the barrier results in encountering an invisible wall that blocks their progress. The presence of the protective boundary causes mild discomfort, deterring trespassers and maintaining the sanctity of the region.
To pass through the Aholvn Warake, individuals can receive temporary markings from the clans. These markings serve as passes, allowing safe passage and indicating a connection and trust established between the bearer and the clans.
The Aholvn Warake represents the spiritual guardianship and magical prowess of the Nokose clans. It acts as a safeguard, protecting the occupied lands and surrounding waters of Vethr Ikk, preserving the ancient traditions and way of life cherished by the clans and fostering the harmony between mortal realm and magical forces that dwell within the region.
