In Ravka, Grisha are trained as soldiers and led by General Kirigan ( Westworld's Ben Barnes), himself a Grisha with power over darkness and a not-so-secret disdain for the nation's weak monarchy.
The first season of Netflix's adaptation of Leigh Bardugo's bestselling fantasy series introduces Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li), a lowly army cartographer from Ravka, a country based loosely on Russia, who learns by accident that she possesses the rare ability to channel pure light, making her a powerful (and dangerous) Grisha.
