Autumnhearth: a rugged, beautiful land gifted with fertile valleys and lush forests. This beauty is unfortunately entwined with horror both hidden and overt. The woods are plagued with fell influence, and the caverns beneath hold yet more threats. Ever so surely, this land decays as dark powers rot it from within.

Hope still remains for this isolated region, lying with a small band of heroes determined to restore it. As they journey these mist-shrouded valleys and cursed forests, they will contend with the consequences of ancient sins and right old wrongs. River, Forest, Mountain- the three sisters must be restored.

A Step Back - Autumnhearth

Perched between the Shrouded Foothills and the Autumnvale, the Drustvari realm of Autumnhearth is full of sorrow and emptiness.

A hundred fifty years ago, the people there prospered and lived in peace. They proudly supported House Waycrest and guarded against the encroachment of elemental and trogg nuisances from the mountains and depths. Autumnhearth was a jewel of Drustvar until a series of misfortunes befell the ruling family and their realm, culminating in their mysterious deaths and the vanishing of an entire township.

The passage of time has obscured the details of these cataclysms, but the memory of the terror wrought upon Autumnhearth has never left the hearts of its inhabitants. What few brave souls still dwell within the region are as hardy as Drustvari come, scratching out a living on lands they are too stubborn to abandon to the monsters that still haunt the woods and vales.

Great potential lies in the once-prosperous mines and fields here despite the dark shroud that lies over them. Many caretakers have been appointed to oversee the territory by the Waycrests over the years in the hopes that Autumnhearth could be returned to its former glory. While some made valiant efforts, others refused to even dwell there for fear of the curses that surely lie upon it.

The Fourth War and horrific sorcery of the Heartsbane Coven left much of Drustvar ravaged, yet the heroes forged during the war offer a beacon of hope.

As reward for her service to the Order of Embers and Kul Tiras, Inquisitor Merellia Hallewell was granted stewardship over Autumnhearth. This reward, however, came with a mission: to cleanse the long-cursed land, and establish safety and security for the denizens long bereft of it.

Northern Drustvar - Unfinished sketch from late 2021. Autumnhearth's approximate area is in purple. East is Autumnvale as seen in-game, to the south and southeast are Fallhaven and Carver's Harbor. I like making things fit somewhere ingame that looks reasonable.

Long before the tranquil foothills of endless green greeted her each morning, Merellia woke to haunted fields and darkened forests. In a time before she wore the robes of an abbess or the silks of a noblewoman, she was nothing more than an inquisitor, clad in worn leathers and brandishing a silver sword.

Before the Eastvale, there was Autumnhearth.
