The Mysteries of Rúne - The Cliffs of Jūra
Jūra is a bustling harbor city built into an ocean cliffside. Jūra is home to an avian race known as the Vārdis. Jūra is a thriving fishing and shipping hub featuring its many docks and piers. Many rickety buildings line the cliffside, with hand carvings depicting great sea creatures on their walls.
Jūra has become a hub for high-class seafood, with merchants from across the region. The Vārdis are expert fishermen, their quality catches create flavorful seafood dishes, which have become popular across the Territories.
Jūra is not without its dangers. The ocean is home to many dangerous creatures, and the Vārdis must be constantly vigilant against attacks from raiders and pirates.
- Locations -
The Cliffside Market is a bustling marketplace where vendors across the Onyx Territories come to buy and sell goods. Visitors can find everything from fresh seafood to exotic spices and textiles.
The Tidal Pools are a series of natural rock formations that fill with water during high tide. Visitors can explore many nooks and crannies, observing the many sea creatures living within.
The Vecā struktūra are remains of an ancient fortress that once defended the coast against invaders before the 500-year war.

- The Lighthouse -
There is a team that operates out of the Lighthouse, Led by Līva, a skilled navigator with a deep knowledge of the waters around Jūra. She is also the head engineer and has overseen the maintenance and repair of the lighthouse for many years. Līva is a respected member of the Jūra community and is deeply committed to the safety of all who sail these waters.
Despite the danger and isolation of her work, Līva is content in her role as leader of the lighthouse team. She takes great pride in her work and the close-knit community of sailors and fishermen who call Jūra home.
- Religion -
The Temple of Corraí at the heart of Jūra, is a testament to the Vārdis' deep reverence for their goddess. Along the temple walls hang various tapestries and murals depicting scenes from the Vārdis' creation myth in which Corraí formed their race from the elements of the sea and the sky.
- Bóther -
Bóther is a small farming village located on the top of the cliff that overlooks Jūra. Despite its proximity, Bóther is a relatively isolated community. Only accessible by a steep and winding path that leads up the cliff. A journey few people ever make.
