\n The World of Gideon Irondell\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Karthune\n <\/h1>\n\n

\n Capital of the Zetash Lands\n <\/h2>\n\n

\n Karthune stands as the heart of the Zetash Lands \u2014 a city of towers,\n silver stone, and quiet order. Built after the Great Excursion,\n it became the center of knowledge, government, and the Five Tribes.\n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n

\n\n
\n

The City<\/h2>\n\n

\n Karthune rises in layers of towers, bridges, gardens, and markets.\n Lamps glow softly at night, and every district reflects the belief\n that stability and cooperation allowed civilization to survive.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

The Aurorium<\/h2>\n\n

\n At the center of the city stands the Aurorium, seat of the Council\n and home of the First Regent. Decisions affecting the entire\n Zetash Lands are made within its walls.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

The Five Tribes<\/h2>\n\n

\n Members of every Tribe live in Karthune. Stonewake, Greyweave,\n Heartward, Twinform, and Veilstep each contribute their abilities\n to the city’s continued prosperity.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n

\n\n

\n A Different World\n <\/h2>\n\n

\n To someone raised in the Ferro Barrens, Karthune seems almost impossible.\n Its streets are clean. Its towers shine. Its people live with comforts\n unknown beyond the Fault Lines.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Yet beneath its beauty lies a difficult truth: not everyone in the world\n shares equally in the peace Karthune enjoys.\n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n

\n\n

\n In Book One\n <\/h2>\n\n

\n For Gideon Irondell and his friends, Karthune becomes a place of discovery,\n training, friendship, and truths that have remained hidden for years.\n <\/p>\n\n \n Return to the World\n <\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
