---

 

After the war, the Viruvian people set upon a pious path. They have settled with purpose, the intent to bring their people to light once more, and to remain under the grace of  GOD. Led by the hand of the faithful flock, they found themselves settling within the sacred lands as heirs to a broken legacy, but still seeking to rekindle their people’s hearts.

 

 Upon the sacred soil of the Númenaranyë, their city of Viru was raised stone by stone as a vessel for their reborn culture, where they have come to re-establish themselves.
