Alestal

Alestal is located in the northwest of the Krasivaya territory of Varian Kingdom. It is a picturesque village nestled in a valley between the mountains that visibly looks like something you'd find in a children's winter fairytale. Alestal exudes an atmosphere of enchantment and elegance where intricately designed buildings stand the test of time. The heart of Alestal is its central square, where a grand tree adorned with twinkling lights serves as the focal point of the village's spirit. Wooden market stalls line the square, offering handcrafted goods, warm mulled cider, and freshly baked treats that fill the air with irresistible aromas. A network of lantern-lit streets weave throughout the village, the glow of the lanterns mingling with the glistening snowflakes that fall from above while wooden bridges arch over the river's waters. Like Kolonivka, many enjoy the warmth and togetherness of community buildings while many make their money mining.

They are well-known for their gorgeous architechture, huge mining presence, and wonderful baked goods.

Countess Diana Cristian resides here.
