Errow, Citadel of Heroes

In the region of Kingsmarch by the Bay of Kings there is a city. But not just any city, a grand one, surrounded by a bastion of stone with a myriad of banners flying overhead. This citadel is Errow, the City of Banners and Citadel of Heroes, and it is ruled by a god.   That god is Arris, goddess of Battles and Honor. She rules Errow with her aasimar and in her city she holds massive tournaments: Jousting, sword fights, archery, smithing contests, even full-scale mock sieges and battles. Every tournament is meant to give glory-seekers and warriors the chance to test their mettle and prove who is the best, the strongest, the most honorable. And so thousands if not millions flock to Errow's walls to see the multitude of banners flapping in the wind and to participate in the games.

Each founded a city and people flocked to each one. These became known as the God-Cities. Arris' city, Errow is in the region of Kingsmarch on the coast of the Bay of Kings.
