Marguilla de Arturyol

**Marguilla: The Pearl of the South**

**City Description:**

Marguilla is a picturesque city located along the coast of the Kingdom of Sobral, known as the jewel of the South thanks to its natural beauty and lively port activity. Its cobbled streets meander past colorful buildings and bustling markets, while the port bustles with activity with ships constantly coming in and out.

**Important places:**

• **Count's Palace**: Located in the center of the city, the majestic Count's Palace is the heart of the political and administrative power of the Duchy of Arturyol. It is here that the Count Bernardo de Arturyol, sovereign of the duchy, and his court reside.
• **Port Market:** The beating heart of Marguilla's commercial activity, the Port Market is a lively melting pot of colours, sounds and smells. Here you will find stalls full of exotic goods from every corner of the world, while merchants and sailors barter goods and stories.


• **St. Arcturus Cathedral:** A magnificent Gothic cathedral dominating the Marguilla skyline. This cathedral is dedicated to King Arcturus, who led a crusade against the Darkness and for a time freed the kingdom from the threat of him. Today the Cathedral of Saint Arcturus is a place of prayer and reflection for the faithful, as well as an architectural icon of the city.

**Rebellion Preparations:**

The city of Marguilla is in turmoil as Count Bernard of Arturyol prepares his rebellion against the central government of Sobral. The streets are filled with clandestine activity and secret meetings, as the Count's supporters organize and plan their next coup. The walls of the Count's Palace are teeming with the count's spies and agents, as the Royal Guards heighten their vigilance in response to the growing threat of revolt.

**Folklore:**

According to a popular legend, Marguilla was founded centuries ago by a group of sailors who settled on the coasts of the Kingdom of Sobral in search of adventure and fortune. It is said that the founder of the city, a mysterious captain named Marco della Gabbia, hid a secret treasure somewhere in the city or in the depths of the port, and that only those who prove to have the bravest heart will be able to find his precious loot. This legend has fueled the imagination of fortune seekers and adventurers who visit the city, hoping to find riches hidden under the waves or in its alleys.
