Trevi
Once a beautiful city to behold with shining walls of white studded with domed towers, gates of silver-chased Libynosi blackwood, and an acropolis built in the indigenous silver-veined marble, Trevi is now a crumbled shadow of its former glory. The walls are little more than rubble piles where the ashlar facing stones were taken by the invaders, and its famous gates now lie in twisted shattered ruin from the impact of Oceanic catapult stones, the silver chasing long since stripped away by the invaders. The ruins have been picked over and looted for the last 175 years, and occasional pack trains still come to salvage marble from the palaces on the acropolis for trade. Lately, however, scavenging parties from Terrin Keld and Emryl have failed to return. A fiendish ogre mage warlord calling herself the Beautiful Contessa has assumed control of the city and gathered the dregs of the countryside to her banner. She plants the heads of intruders and those who displease her atop pikes outside the ruined gates. Recently, one of the princess of Tyr’s favored consorts was among those lost, and a band of devoted Erskaelosi warriors from that city calling themselves the Blade of Vengeance are planning an attack on this upstart’s new kingdom.
