Mitrik

This is the city where Veluna started. The Crook of Rao was found in the catacombs underneath the present Cathedral of Rao almost 600 years ago. Since that time, the city has grown up around it and became the center of religion and culture for Veluna.

Defences

Mitrik Temple Guard The Mitrik Temple Guard is a very prestigious organization that concerns itself with the defense of the Great Temple of Rao in Mitrik as well as protection of its priests and worshippers. The Temple Guard is considered a stepping stone into more prestigious organizations and many Knights of Salvation started in the Temple Guard.

Code of Conduct:
Always protect church property and priests of Rao, with no rewards required or accepted for missions requested officially by the church of Rao. Defend worshippers of Rao, rewards may be accepted but not required by the guardsman. Always obey the lawful orders of a priest of Rao. Uphold the peace.

Infrastructure

Mitrik is a very old city and shows it. The entire city is almost totally constructed of stone. When walking through its streets you get the feeling of ancient power and the worn roads show the path that thousands have walked over the past 5 centuries. The city is divided into several wards. Large stone walls separate each section with gates controlling the flow of traffic. All sections of the city are open to anybody except the temple grounds themselves which are open to authorized members and their guests only. The dock area is very clean and orderly compared to most other cities. It is well patrolled and trouble is not common. Just up the river from the dock area you can see the floating villa’s of some of the merchant lords of the city rising and falling with the seasonal floods.

Guilds and Factions

Masters of the Way This organization is relatively new to Veluna. Based out of Mitrik, they are a group of mercenaries who decided to open a school to teach those who wish to learn the way of the warrior. They figured it was easier then adventuring for a living. Though they are looked down on by most noble orders in Mitrik (Knights, and the Brotherhood of the Vale especially) they train their students very well. Several students have gone on to continued service in the Mitrik Temple Guard and the Knights of Serenity, although it was not an easy task. The school has two branches. One is run by Feren Rilt. An old grizzled warrior who does not like babysitting newbie’s, but does what he is paid to do and does it well. The other is run by Master Len, an old elven bowman. He is respected by those who follow the way of the bow in Mitrik although they frown on his willingness to show it to anyone who has the gold to pay for it.

Points of interest

Academia Vilhonus

This wizardry school is considered the most prestegious school in all of the realm. Many very wealthy merchants, religous, nobles and royalty all send their promissing young children here to learn the mystical arts. Only the very wealthy and those with letters of recommendations from the top of society have any chance to get in to the school or even get a job teaching here.
