Moralis

Gateway of Barakon

Type: Large City (pop. 15000)

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Rulers: The Gray Chair, The Red Chair, The White Chair

Government: Triumvirate

Notable NPC’s: Sandival, Keliva Borgola, Feldon Magivona

Notable Locations: Market Square, Guild Row, Nobles Garden

Adventure Hooks/ Rumors: Someone has stolen the chairs (seats) and is holding them ransom.

A group of dissidence has started to make inroads in the government.

While no one knows who The Chairs are it is certain that two have recently been replaced, why is the question. Rumor has it that the two prior Chairs were assassinated.

Moralis is the westernmost city of Barakon. It sits where the Trade road splits into the northern road, southern road, and the central road. Overland trade goods coming from the west have to pass through Moralis. Being the second largest city in the country has its advantages. The number of troops here is actually small since it borders on the edge of an empirical state as well. Things here are busy but given that trade here only slows down when the northern road which is also called The Pass Road is snowed in at the pass. Guilds play a large part in the day to day running of the city. The market in town is the largest in the country and only one other is bigger in the empire. While things are prosperous the empire’s taxes are a bit much for some people here.

Notable Locations: Blackstar (Bards college), Fodelia’s Stage, Copper University

Adventure Hooks/ Rumors: The Dean of Blackstar has died and can not be brought back or spoken to because he has become something other in the the afterlife.

The Archaeologist’s of one school are planning a trip to Bay Guard Island and need guards from the local things there.

Something is going on with the South Trade Road one in three shipments are getting to the town. Where is everything else going?

Hallion is a strange town in that there are 4 universities all in town. The whole town has grown to be what the schools need. Presently the four universities are Blackstar, Magicanus, Fodelia’s Stage, and Hallion. There is another area near the market that is called Copper University. While Hallion is a general establishment for higher learning the other three are specialized schools. While copper university is called a university it is not one. It is actually a close grouping of coffee shops that cater to intellectuals that can sit around and talk about  various topics. Sitting out on the arm of the bay on the ocean side makes it open to trade also from ships coming along the south edge of the continent. While it is not a trading hub some trade passes through here.

The Tomb-Hunters have found a possible tomb near town.

With all the new troops in town tensions are growing between the people and the military.

The town of Kavala was one of the first populated places in the country before the Empire came in. Kavala is sitting on the point where the river splits into two that feeds the forest to the south and east which helped to make it a hub of commerce. Once that happened the influx of ideas from other places has lead to it being a place ruled as a true republic which the empire is not a fan of. Seeing how it had worked here for so long they figured why mess with a thing that works. The troops pouring into town thou have gotten the populace nervous. News of other towns does travel fast especially when garrisons leave a border town in droves.

The Tomb-hunters are a guild of treasure seekers with branches throughout the empire. The have been given the mandate to find treasures and map the areas of those treasures.

This river also flows to Das, which is how the lumber got to Das in the first place. Now most of the ship building has started to get done here. Dath has only been settled for about five years which is why it is still small, but is now growing fast from the influx of refugees.

Das was a once prospering town, with some of the best shipwrights, that feel on hard times those being a border dispute. Whole sections of town have been torn down. With over half of the town’s residents gone, and more than half the garrison of military troops having been pulled out, things look grim indeed. Das is a key port town because it has some of the deepest water in the whole region. For the last month fights have been growing more lopsided not in the town’s favor. Over half the town’s population is military forces the next few battles will determine the state of this town and many along the bay.

Nothing for today.

Candoron

“The Spires of the Protectorate”

Type: Metropolis (50,000)

Alignment: Neutral Good

Ruler: Lady Regent Protector Galianus of House Thada beholden to the Empire of

        Davius

Government: Colonialist Hegemony

Notable NPC’s: Lady Galianus, Sir Dofani, Katina Weshia, Captain Nalius,

Notable Locations: Temples of Drafus and Aldren, Spire of House Thada, The Spinning

    Dervish, The Pits, Dockside

Rumors: Under the foundations of the city are ways into Night Below. House Thada contains a

             portal to the Imperial city and to the emperors bedchambers. Lady Galianus is in league

             with the local Resistance to the empire.

Candoron is a strange city in that it is built on top of three islands in the middle of the Fordalian River. There is also a major trade road that crosses the river here. The city has the ability to pull the bridges up that cross the river on both sides of town. It is also possible to pull up the major through fares between islands as well.  Therefore the city itself does not have the ability to truly spread out. Once it filled the islands it had to grow up. With that being the case there are bridges and walkways that spread around. The closer to the ground you are the poorer you tend to be. There is no magic holding these spires up it is almost entirely the work of dwarves. Most building are stone that have a strong foundation. These islands that the city sits on are granite. The Lady Regent had been sent here to help hold this portion of the empire over 10 years ago with little to no contact with the empire other than troops.

Barakon

“Edge of the Empire”

Alignment: Neutral Good

Capital: Candoron (50,000)

Notable Settlements: Moralis (15,000), Hallion (5,000), Kavala (3,000), Das (500),  

Dath (500)

Ruler:Lady Regent Protector Galianus of House Thada beholden to the Empire of

        Davius

Government: Colonialist Hegemony

Languages: Common (Trade), Davi (Empirical)

Religion: Aldren, Aria, Aduin, Drafus, Maythyr, Sor

Barakon sits on the southern edge of the empire of Davius which is the southern coastline. They are in border disputes with the other kingdom along the coast to the north and east of the deep water bay known as Still Waves along the Torrent Sea. The Lady Regent has been in a stalemate with the country of Vandium for this bay. Of late the emperor has been slowly pulling troop back and out of the region with no explanation. The small town of Das sits on the edge of the disputed region with the port town of Dath being a day’s ride from there. A large garrison of Imperial soldiers were stationed outside Das but half of the troops have pulled back to help fortify Kavala. As for what is truly going on with the emperor’s choice in moving troops, as he has, it is anyone’s guess.
