Introducing Glavo Brilo, an important location in Crystals of Ulstra

Glavo Brilo is a bustling military stronghold situated proudly in the central plains. The Kavaliro, a community of highly-trained knights formed in opposition to Rego Aglo‘s regime, are headquartered inside the walls of Glavo Brilo’s enormous fortress. An elite group of warriors called the Order of the Silver Sword also operates here.

Glavo Brilo’s society is structured to benefit its people. While the military controls the fortress, it eschews class divisions and ensures that every citizen’s needs are met. The wider population works in a variety of fields outside of soldiering—most notably, as chefs, gardeners, and food merchants. Glavo Brilo is considered a breadbasket of Ulstra, boasting some of the world’s finest restaurants and exporting food worldwide. In addition to the fortress, the Kavaliro also defend Kado, an outpost on Mage’s Bay.

Several important characters call Glavo Brilo home, including Roko and Floranta.
