Casseval is a land in eastern Allesley. It is the homeland of the Vala, who left Loril to found a kingdom based on their faith, the Church of Corus. Casseval is nominally a constitutional monarchy, but in practice, the royal Lacherlain family dictates law to the legislature. These laws discriminate harshly against people who aren't human or who don't belong to the official church. Casseval is currently at war with Feore and has poor diplomatic relations with all of its neighbors, save for Westbare. The regime has little to fear, however, as Casseval is arguably the wealthiest and most powerful land on Elsemorn. It has abundant natural resources and several standing armies of native troops in addition to mercenaries. Casseval is also known as Caesile and Cestil Cordiana.

Rocheline is a metropolis and capital of Casseval. It is governed by king Garnes Laisenne, a parliament, and a seneschal. Nearby settlements include Cennest, Drese, Meudau, Nons, Valese, and Vilrigonne.
The keep of Rocheline was once a watchtower overlooking the Strait and Hafsund, and the city built up around it. Rocheline is sometimes called Norrock, the name for that tower.
Rocheline is home to many palaces for the royal family and religious leaders, amphitheaters for parliament, and also guildhalls and theaters. A midsummer fair is held outside the city every year. In the nearby city of Valese is the only legal wizard's tower in Casseval—it is occupied by a wizard hunting guild.
