The Highland Refuge

__TOC__
==Summary==
Far in the moors of the Sunbeam Ruins lies the Highland Refuge. Made of rebuilt remnants of whatever came before, the Refuge’s lands are full of color and light, often with familiars darting around carrying messages between each faction. The main city itself bustles with life, and rarely is it quiet.
Just outside the city's perimeter there are fields swaying in the breeze before they give way to the much rougher moors. There are several splinter factions that remain tied to the Refuge, through blood ties or purposeful allyship, and live at the edges of the Refuge's lands.
The city grows as it's traders spread word of a once-ruined city being rebuilt. Many bring their talents to help rebuild, or just see how it's going. Older dragons might remember what once was, but it's clear: what remains now is stronger than any past Refuge.

=== Citadel of the Ancients ===
In the narrow catacombs and caverns below the Citadel of Refuge, lies the Blackstone Bastille. It is hewn from blackened stone, hence the name, and reinforced to contain shade entities- should they ever find any. They patrol the lands of the Refuge and maintain their keep, while training apprentices. Their blackened home stands out on the moor, a reminder of vigilance. It is led by Cynfal and Layem.
After learning what precious scant history they could about their breed's past, Yatuga and Khuur decided they would never go to war again. They established an small workshop within the Citadel under the protection of the Gaolers, that specializes in the crafting of instruments.
=== Riftruin Court ===
Led by Athana, the heiress of Plague, the court is made up of... shiftier types. They use their abilities to sow unrest among other clans, but remains under the protection of the Refuge itself. Though technically a splinter faction, the main Refuge tends to disagree with the Court's actions and ways, only maintaining their presence with their blood ties. They lodge high in a cliff cave below the Refuge, where they can do their "diplomacy" in peace.
