Briarthorne

Briarthorne was a large, prosperous, and enchanted kingdom from legend. It was primarily inhabited by Bloomsprites, humanoid creatures who are known to possess an incredible amount of magic and a connection to nature. 
Its capital, Greater Briarthorne, was also one of the most prominent port cities in the ancient world, aside from being a centre for advanced technology and knowledge for its time as well as trading of magical goods, herbs, books, textiles, and precious jewels. In the middle of the capital stood Belrose Palace (later known as the Palace of Shadow), the home of the royal house of Belrose.
In Wilted Memory, Greater Briarthorne was the legendary ancient civilization that now lies in ruins underneath Rogueport, now becoming known as the Rogueport Sewers. Parts of the ruins have been repurposed as homes or businesses for Rogueportians not living on the surface.
