The Red Refuge

A city on the coast of the crimson canyons and the sea of flowing lights. It is a haven from the hostile environment all around it and those fleeing persecution from Sabal. It boasts a large port on the southern coast of Lenwir and receives trade from Nemir, Paruga and beyond. As its name suggests it was founded as a refuge for those that had no place to belong, making its population more diverse than any on Lenwir, as any and all are welcome. The only rules that remain from that time are; all must be granted shelter and food, and none are to be judged on their past. A combination of rules that makes for a melting pot of strange citizens and rare knowledge. One would think a society built on secrets and hiding criminals would soon become corrupted, but the harsh laws implemented by 'The Keepers of Laki' keep most in check. The founder of the Red Refuge, a gnome named Tami Aurcaller created 'The Keepers' long ago, an order of metallic guardians that maintains the laws of the city down to the original wording. Any that commit the high crimes; exploitation, mutilation or murder are summarily apprehended and taken away, to what ends, no one knows, but rumours tell of a fate worse than death. To be chained within the silver shell of a guardian, powering its functions and bound to its laws for life. A fate, rumours say, that befell Tami Aurcaller herself.
