World Guide Lore: Alm

[RedBlue]

The section about Alm, a vassal state of the Azish Empire, is particularly interesting.

Alm is a tiny nation known for being unimportant. The government of Azir once sent them parshmen to act as palace servants, but Alm secretly freed these parshmen and gave them cottages where they could live as they chose. After the Everstorm, it became a discreet hub for singers who wanted to remain neutral in the conflict.

This enclave of neutral singers sounds like it could be important going forward, especially because (as of WaT) the Shattered Plains are going to be a refuge for singers who want to get away from Retribution.

I’m also intrigued by these ‘free’ singers before the Everstorm fixed their Connection. Were they able to take care of themselves when left to their own devices? What did they choose to do with their time?
