Vellumis was the oldest and largest city in the nation of Lastwall, and remains the largest bastion of the Knights of Lastwall in the Gravelands since the nation was destroyed by Tar-Baphon in 4719 AR.1 Situated on the shores of Lake Encarthan, it served as the port of embarkation and debarkation for soldiers traveling in and out of the country on their way to keep watch over the terrors of Ustalav and the Hold of Belkzen,2 then as the evacuation point for refugees fleeing the nation after 4719 AR.34

Description

Vellumis is a scenic port, with many buildings marble-clad, domed, and colonnaded in the once-popular Chelaxian Old White style (characterized by whitewashed walls, ornately decorated eaves, and massive arched windows). The city was the home of all foreign embassies and diplomats in Lastwall, in an effort to keep possible spies far from the front.5
