The misty island. Located south east of Ethoses there are tales of an island covered with a dense fog. Those who manage to return speak of strange people with magics strange and dangerous.
South east of Ethoses lies a continent that was effected differently by the calamity. Feel free to play around with the setting with a semi clean slate.
Some very nice links, I also realized you actually named the world, which if I recall, we have already done (or least the material plane of this world, under the name of durinis)

I forgot about that entirely. I’d replace the name on the first post. Maybe the other name will just be for the continent
The land beyond Ethoses (Name Pending) has been impacted far more by other planes then the continent.
Well, the continent you are used too has its seasons created by other planes, and the occasional spirit crossing over from another realm. Beyond Ethoses, 9% of the population comes from outside the material, be it the Stametelos, Flower-kin from the plane of spring, or a common fairy. Most spirits here are Sylphs, for at the center of this continent lies a strange spire nicknamed "The Enslaved Spire" It is a spear from a god, once from the god of war, any creature who touches it either explodes, or slowly loses their sense of purpose (Wisdom save against randomly deals 1d6 fire damage, or causes one to lose 1 wisdom whenever touched, the second effect happens three times again before the end of the hour, if they do touch it until then)

The court of the sirens specializes in using the Sylphs. They create songs of Fae beauty enough to stir the hearts of all who hear them and the Sylphs respond. Their magic is wild and only somewhat controllable but capable of incredible feats like entirely destroying island or shrouding their region with thick banks of fog. However each song needs to be created for each purpose individually.
They live in a city named Avalon and are ruled by their high court.
Avalon is an island protected by 9 enchantments kept by 9 tapestries woven by the first Siren to learn the Fae arts. They are kept in a fortress known as Caliburn. The city is main built out of white marble and birch trees grow in tended gardens.
there are many locations in the city of note including
the tower of the Morrigan formally and the black tower informally is tower built out of a black stone. It’s placed in one higher classes districts and when Sirens die their bodies are brought into the tower.
The fortress of Caliburn is placed upon one of the few hills of the island. In addition to housing the vaults of the island it also is the headquarters for many of the knightly orders of the land
The vale is a valley where the dead are buried. It’s constantly covered in fog and the wind blowing through the birch trees is said to sound like the whispers of the dead. Perhaps they are right
Paimpont Forest is said to grow golden apples of magical power. They and their Secrets are jealousy guarded by the Sirens leading some to believe them to be the Source of their power
Anthemusa is a small island where young Sirens are trained. It also functions as the center of power for Sirens and their courts
(areas to world build: the enchantments, other notable spots in the city, what the golden apples do, other stuff)

Are there actually people in the city?
Yes, however Fae make up a good part of the population as well as people from other planes.
Thoughts/a challenge. Maybe a long time a ago there ways a divine plane where souls were supposed to go. However something happened and souls are unable to get there. The plane then fades away/has been destroyed/flies freely through the multiverse.
If we are to add this I’d like to challenge people by not saying directly what happened. Left over artifacts, symbols with power, cryptic statements by characters and all that mess. I think it might be an interesting challenge.

Wisps are though to be new spirits or slyphs with a strong connection to the physical. Regardless of why they are they are known for making small flashes of blue light. They are extremely rare and have only been spotted after the blood war.
Quote from Wikipedia “The strix, in the mythology of classical antiquity, was a bird of ill omen, the product of metamorphosis, that fed on human flesh and blood. It also referred to witches and related malevolent folkloric beings.”
I believe this might be an interesting name for something. Maybe P’s school of undead played a roll in it’s creation, maybe something found in the ruins of highmoor, maybe something made by the record keeper or maybe something different.
