Nidala is part of the Shadowlands, bordering Avonleigh on the west and Shadowborn Manor on the southwest. The fallen Elena Faith-hold rules it. A fanatical follower of Belenus, Elena enforces her interpretation of Belenus's will upon the population through Decrees of Faith, which have forbidden many activities. She uses a network of informants to root out those who defy her will and has them publicly punished. Only the threat of Banemaw, an evil dragon, keeps Faith-hold in power. In reality, Banemaw does not exist. Elena merely invented him to frighten potential dissenters. Typically, she will surround a small and isolated town that she has deemed as "evil" and wipe it off of the map, then spend the next several days publicly bemoaning the fact that she "failed to stop the dragon."
Elena has discovered that the Ebonbane is held within Shadowborn Manor but is unable to reach it.
Settlements
The capital city is Touraine.
Mistways
Fractures
A fracture connects Lake Amenta to the bottom of Loch Lenore in the Shadow Rift when the Unseelie Court rules. Given the temporal distortion, the connection will exist for 13 years, cease to exist for 13 years, and be restored for 13 years.
