Morten

Morten is the capital of the city-state of the same name that grew around the wellspring of necromancy. The city has a quiet pallor about it; even many of the buildings have the look of sunbaked bones. Residents of Morten have harnessed some of the powers of necromancy to help strengthen what limited economy the sparse terrain can support, but the city relies primarily on trade to acquire the foodstuffs and goods needed for its citizens. The trade routes to Morten rely on magical assistance, but the city manages.
Morten sits on a peninsula that extends off the southern coast of the Winderian peninsula. It rises over 500 feet above the ocean, and the pass into the peninsula is covered by swamps that have developed beneath Lake Thane. Combined with the general distaste many people feel toward a city-state empowered by necromancy, these geographical features have kept Morten unscathed since the beginning of recorded history. Many outsiders hold great fear of Morten, or at least a strong unease toward it, but very few incidents of abuse of necromancy have occurred under the watch of its ruler. Those that have occurred have been dealt with swiftly and with great retribution.
Morten is currently ruled by Tessa, the One Necromancer of the Eight.
Morten is the home city-state of Lyza Rein.
