History

Said to be founded by the famous merchant Favl the Clever on the eastern banks of the Talnor River, Cloy started as a scattering of buildings around a tall mighty keep known as the Silverspear. Slowly the outer town area around the keep, known to townsfolk as Sun's End, grew more populated and the smattering of building become streets and crowded tenaments stretching from the river out into the wine fields beyond.
Cloy, like most of the first cities, started as a city-state. Over time smaller villages and towns sprang up around the city, and as the population of Cloy grew, along with it's need for food and supplies, the city-state became the capitol of the growing kingdom of Istbania as the villages were incorporated into the expanding government influence.
