Concavia: The witch-guild of Belnódomos.
What you see here is what is left of an old sunglass beacon from before Mehter’s flood. It still stands, for it lies on the high ground of the Orness hills. It was set at such a height to better send tidings afar, overcoming the hurdles of trees and other hills. For a long while after the flood, the beacon hall stood empty, but no longer. For many lifetimes now this old wreck has been settled anew by the same folk that raised it, the Talanos, that great and tale-rich thede¹ of Talanā who once held the world under their sway and who in the last Days of Copper, brought on the great flood for their unholy fighting with the Alves of Upergora.
A sunglass uses the shape of the world to send tidings afar. The land of Concavia bends up and bows overhead, like a hollow ball, a sunglass can glint Leuada’s light to any place with no lag, unlike tidings sent by birds or over seas.
Now this elder sunglass beacon hall bears a sunglass once more and is called Belnódomos, “the bright house”, by the Talanos which dwell there. Belnódomos is home to a witch-guild, who keep whatever findings they unearth from before the great flood sound and unweathered beneath its roofs.
