VALLE DE LOS CAIDOS - VALLEY OF THE FALLEN
Valle de los Caidos, the Kingdom taken up by Carrla after the war, are harbored within disorderly and unforgiving lands. The lands are predominantly desolate, and provide absolutely nothing that could be used for sustenance. The days and nights starkly contrast, the former embraced by naught but intense heat, and the latter coddled by dry frigidity. These stony, barren lands feature a surplus of hollows constantly at one another's throats, battling for supremacy, feasting on one another to bolster their prowess as much as they can. The lands personify mayhem - it is difficult to go twenty feet without stumbling upon another slaughter. Aside from being bare and fruitless lands, this land is quite mountainous. This portion of the land Carrla has personally dubbed "Baldio", or "Wasteland".
Valle de los Caidos isn't within the center of the lands, but actually on the western-most segment of it, belonging to a mountain of a substantially superior height to the others within the region. These mountains bear a stature sufficient enough to climb into the clouds. The lands are cloudy, smoky wisps perpetually paved against the skies. Leading into Valle de los Caidos is a massive elevated, curved platform that is essentially a bridge to Valle de los Caidos' foreboding gates. At the base of the platform is a secret passage leading to a stairway that goes all the way up to the top of the platform, allowing for travel to the gate. The platform is at level with the kingdom, which is near the top of the mountain. At the top of this giant curved wall are many hollows traveling into, or out of, the kingdom, along with hollows governing it with the purpose of keeping it secure, should hostiles have gotten through the chaotic lands below.
The gates are split through the middle, but otherwise are triangular in design. To each side appears to be, sculpted into the very mountain itself, two avian creatures that closely resemble crows or ravens. Carrla has called this landmark "Duae Corvi", or "The Two Crows". Other than aesthetics, they appear to serve no other known purpose. Beyond the gates, cradled by a series of towering mountains, finally is Valle de Los Caidos, the kingdom itself. An innumerable amount of castles dominate the entire vast area, all bearing an olden western architecture, a blatant medieval-European vibe, with modernized interiors. Life in the kingdom is bustling and flourishing, and behavior seems to be very controlled. Through her psychotic methods when it comes to punishment she has instilled enough fear into her populace to keep it at bay. The majority of the inhabitants are as wolfish and predatory as her, but can recognize an alpha.
At the north-most part of the kingdom is the main castle itself. In stature and size it completely dwarfs the others, spanning for, at the very least, a mile. It could easily house a fracción and other hollows whom she decides to let reside within it. The exquisiteness of the interior differs little from the other castles within the kingdom, but features a throne room; at the end of this room is a throne chiefly comprised of blades, modeled into a chair fit for a monarch, bordered by a mound of skulls.
