Introduction

This city is one of the 5 Ancestral City States that predates the dynasty and even the Ravenshold Prison. It has had a lot of time to grow and is arguable one of the most powerful of the 5. Though their leader, High Lady Zalia Avari, has led her city and people with a bit of a warmongery perspective than most. Of most of the civilizations of the region, hers causes the most problems, generally. She has, however, begun to change her outlook on her city and has been endeavoring to push forward with a more peaceful life and culture. Though the event of multiple entities breaking out of the prison has spurred her to action once again.

The same ruler has ruled for longer than even the oldest humanoid can remember. So there's a healthy bit of respect and fear in her people with just that fact alone. The city itself lies at a crossroads, with The Stoneway Road heading northeast through the Ironburn Massif, The Oceanside Run heading Northwest-ish to Rochdale (Another Ancestral City State), and the continuation of the Oceanside Run heading Southeast and the east to Whitebridge (Another Ancestral City State), and finally The Warden's Walk heading to the Southwest through the Quagmire of Tosmir. Much of the region's trade passes through this city, and with that comes the wealth of culture and expansion. Many different types of people live within and without of the city's walls, and many more come from far and wide to hock their strange or mundane wears. The city's wealth has also increased with the discovery of a select few rare minerals from the Ironburn Massif, those being Red Beryl (Or Red Emerald), and Flourite. Some Alchemists have taken it upon themselves to research these materials to discover their potential uses. Others have bought and sold such minerals had high prices to the Local Counts of the city. Thus, the city has been prospering.
