    Keys: Efrein

    The province is technically part of the Empire of Solumn, but the ruling clan, the Drakeroot clan, ceased communication with the empire years ago after a mysterious man named Tane took control of the clan and the province.

    The province under the rule of the Drakeroot clan, Efrein, is a land of darkness and corruption. The once fertile land is now infertile and barren. The population of Efrein is used as cattle for the Drakeroot and Tane's experiments, and most of the people here are treated as less than humans. The people of Efrein have given up hope and have lost all sense of identity, as their masters have taken everything from them. Some men have been mixed into monsters called "chimera" by Tane and the Drakeroot clan. The remaining towns and villages are mostly ruined, with the population who remained sane barely surviving. The animals have been mutated and changed into hideous abominations. The once-thriving wildlife is now reduced to mindless beasts, their existence fueled by the twisted magics of the Drakeroot and Tane.

Desmond's wife, Merianna, fled the castle years ago, taking their youngest daughter (Emeri), never to return again, disgusted by her husband and family's corruption. Desmond's children are all corrupted, twisted, and monstrous, their bodies modified to fit their father's desires, with Visha, the second daughter, being the only one outright refusing to succumb to her family's darkness. Nem and Shua's psyches were both broken to a certain point; Nem shielded her mind by resigning herself to obedience while Shua dealt with her broken mind in vastly unpredictable and primal ways.
