Tovska

"Unbroken, we stand." - official motto of Tovska.

Tovska is a city made entirely of ice, and stands tall in the frozen landscape of Dobesca. Rumoured to have been crafted by an ancient clan of white dragons who used to inhabit the area before the Edzarveiti invasion, the city stands as a monument to the eternal and unwavering determination of Dobescans to stand their ground against their environment and the odds. The walls of ice which surround the city operate as windbreakers against the harsh climate, although the gales can still be heard as a constant loud whistle throughout the city.

Despite the harsh and wild landscape, the city of Tovska is incredibly rigid and strictly ran. The "legacy" families who proudly trace their heritage to the white dragons rule the city, with the ever-watchful presence of The Bielogard ensuring the law and righteousness is upheld with an iron fist.

The Rampeaks
The 6 central spires which surround the Tower of Abjuration house various organisations and legacy families responsible for the governance of Tovska. They contain;


 * The Bielogard headquarters.
 * The Zluko family who manage administrative affairs.
 * The Kraxin family who oversee the justice system and have strong ties to the Bielogard and the Skull Legion.
 * The Volar family who deal with trade and economic affairs.
 * The Dravo family who handle history and record-keeping, as well as tempering the more fervent efforts of the Shiver League's pursuit of "true history".
 * The Tojan family who oversee diplomacy.

The Icehowl Lake
The central lake around which the rest of the city is built. The Tower of Abjuration lies at the center of it. Beneath the ice lies the great sprawling market.

The Tower of Aburation
The Tower of Abjuration sits at the center of the Icehowl Lake and the city as a whole. Its glistening ice spire can be seen from miles away and is a beacon to travellers approachign Tovska. It has sat sealed since The Fall, for not even the Shiver League are foolish enough to attempt to break its seals and, even if they were to survive the feat, risk the wrath of the Bielogard.

Major Organisations

 * The Bielogard. Oversee law & order with an iron fist.
 * The Skull Legion. Whilst they are primarily based in Aremberg, the Skull Legion's official center of operations is in Tovska, partially due to its strong relationship and alliance with the Kraxin family.
 * The Shiver League. Pursue the "true history" of Dobesca, much to the annoyance of the Dravo family, whose good humour at their exploits only extends so far.

Key Individuals

 * Rajek Zlukossire. The current mayor of Tovska who caused quite a scandal by opposing the favourite, his cousin Cnut, and ending the 200 year direct line of mayors in the Zluko family. Those less interested in Tovskan politics may point out that he is still a member of the Zluko family, though...
 * Ardalbrug Gundassire. The Head Researcher of the Shiver League. A tall and slender half-orc woman whose long, frizzy hair is impossibly held back by her slim spectacles. Passionately devoted to the cause.
