In the center of the mountain range bordering Kalais and Alyria is Malburg. The mines and forges in this mountain pass produce the finest weapons and armour, catering to the flashy and delicate tastes of Kalaian Knights and to southern sensibility. It is also a key stop for Luminists on pilgrimage south to the holy site of Luminseat. Similarly to Kalais and Alyria, Malburg also holds magical scholarship in high regard, but mages of the Folburg, a massive and imposing stone fortress said to have been built by ancient giants, tend to focus on more practical physical applications and enchantments. Ruled by the pragmatic King Friedrich von Bäumer. The King descends from a long line of imposing knights that fought hard to keep the border Kingdom of Malburg independent. However his majesty is far more bookish than his predecessors with his interests squarely focused on uncovering the ancient histories of the world and within the old ruins hidden amongst his kingdom.
