The city was founded shortly after the end of the Islan Rebellion. There is some controversy as to whether the city was founded to be a military outpost closer to Isla, a luxury city to boost the kingdom’s moral, or as a message to the dragons who destroyed the nearby city of Temell during The Descent.
The city’s economy is based on the vast swathes of surrounding farmland and upon its location as a trade hub between Shui, Arbon, and Fronhold. It is has a number of luxury attractions that make it a popular destination for vacationing nobles.
Westemell became home to The Order in 356 P.A. with the completion of The Mystrarium.
The Mystrarium
Home to
The Order of Seven Stars. The collection of buildings includes housing for students, instructors, and graduates as well as offices, classrooms, labs, and training arenas. Students of the Order rarely leave the campus except for the rare venture to the tavern.
Theramore Manor
The Manor was gifted to The Order is 366 P.A. by Lord Kirk Theramore. It housed students and instructors for the duration of the program.
The manor was destroyed during the closure of the
Colonel Urbane Rackett’s School of Evocation for Deployment (CURSED) program in 385 P.A.
It remains a ruin that few frequent. Rumors have spread that the Manor is cursed or haunted and many Order students consider it a right of passage to stay in the remnants of the manor overnight. Some have reported hearing voices and screams, feeling like they were being watched, or seeing objects moving on their own. None of these speculations have been verified
