Korvosa, the Jewel of Varisia, has long sparkled on the shore of
Conqueror’s Bay. Established just over 300 years ago by Cheliax at the height of that empire’s expansion, the city now commands its own

sat upon the Crimson Throne for more than a century, and the city has flourished; yet the monarchy always seems on the brink of disaster.
