Titan
The Holy Kingdom of Titan’s Grave is the only true civilization that calls this portion of Vail home. The land of Titan is a place of wonder and many hidden dangers. After the events of the Cataclysm the holy city is still holding strong but never truly recovered to its former glory. During the events of the Inquisition’s Folly the City was heavily damaged and then became home to one of the four primordials released in the after math. Because of this the once massive sprawling city has been reduced to almost an 8th of what it once was. Resembling something akin to the city of Venice, the city has no real streets and only locks and canals that connect the massive island like blocks that make it up.
Part of the reason the city also never truly recovered was in part due to the fact that they turned on their leadership not long after the Cataclysm. Thing to keep as note Titan’s Grave has always been a place where the Spirit religion ruled. The city was a center for understanding the domains of the Spirits and contemplating on the ones place within the spirits and their domains. Because of this the City was meant to act as a secondary Neutral power during the Dance of Kings. Protecting the week and sending aid where it was needed. But when Albion’s capitol was taken over by an Ancient Red Dragon not long after the start of the 13th dance Titan refused to send military aid to its people. Claiming that if their city had been taken it had to be because they had dishonored the Spirits in some way. This indirectly led to the final step need for Inquisition church to take political control as many Albion citizens turned away from the Spirit religion. After the event of the Cataclysm, many of the city’s major structures were lost or damaged by unexplainable accidents that had nothing to do with magic going haywire or the spirits vanishing. After three years of investigating it was discovered that the city been so heavily affected by the event because these major buildings were all housing or deeply connected to the Dragon Council and in fact the “elected” head of the city was an Ancient Gold Dragon that had been part of the Council the whole time. The true narrative that had caused the world so much pain became clear, Albion wasn’t abandoned by the spirits, it was abandoned by the Council. As the Red Dragon had been a Council member like the Gold for it to mobilize the cities army on the it would break the council’s pact that kept peace between the Dragons. But instead of trying to find a way around this to still help the Dragon fully abandoned Albion to what it is now.
Because of this the city purged all remnants of the Dragon council within the city. Causing almost the entire old guard of the cities hierarchy to flee. The city then spent the next 40 years creating a barrier around the city making it so that no Dragon, good or evil, could ever step foot in the city again. Since then the city has spent the last several years finally returning to its former glory and those that still call the land home brought closer together by the ties of tribulation and guilt for many blames themselves for what happened to the world. They who were meant to be the most righteous of the divine sword never once questioned why their leaders or the spirits would so fully turn their backs on a people.

Currency
Titan Credits 1TC:10gp (1TC= 10 spears)
Titan Credits are only usable in the city of Titan itself or protected fort cities in the Silver Woods and are really only used for big jobs
The currency was created as a means to prevent theft, as the Credits can only be used in a few locations and only exchanged for actual gp, sp, and/or cp at a Titan Bank
More often than not Credits are used for paying adventurers, encouraging them to spend in Titan and grow its economy.
The Titan Bank is controlled by the Council (see Vail info for more)
Titan Banks outside of the capital actual do not keep gold on the premises
Each bank is built with teleportation circle used to send and receive coins
The first time a person uses a Titan Bank they receive a Titan Legger,
this legger contains a magical seal that only responds to the person assigned to it
along with several pages of Titan Bank Checks, each time a check is written the check must be pressed against the check and a password spoken by the owner
if not the check bursts into flames and deals 1d6 fire damage to the creature holding it.
When a check is cashed the banker checks for the magic mark, each of which is unique to the legger
At this time two things can occur
The check can be placed in the teleportation circle and the amount on it is transported to the bank
Or the check along with a note of transference can be sent and the banks internal records updated.
Each Legger’s glyph is unique and connected to the owner through a “blood pact”
Should the owner die all checks made 1-2 hours before will be made void
