Background:

Founded in the Era of Kings, 1300, the Mage’s Guildtowers, or the Mage’s Guild, are a powerful, though relatively neutral, force in the realm. They gained practical autonomy from the King due to their service in the defeat of the Three (powerful necromancers bent on enslaving the kingdom). In return, they swore to defend the kingdom against outside threats.

Organization:

The Guildtowers are actually several separate, loosely united individual affiliations. These delegations choose a ruling body of 7 representatives (one from each tower), and one Grand Magister, to represent the interests of all wizards throughout the Kingdom of Muriah.

Each tower mimics this organization, with their individual Grand Magister serving on the delegation to the Castle of Controlling Power, followed by a regional High Magister, and local Tower Magister in each individual city or town. Individual towers can be considered separate affiliations, typically with a Scale of 4-6. Members register with a local tower, and move up in the ranks in that particular tower, though transferring registration to a new tower is simple, and fairly common.

Goals:

The Guildtowers have several goals: Codify and advance magical learning, protect the Kingdom of Muriah from outside forces, and control arcane magic in the Kingdom.

The Guildtowers have managed to push thru laws in various provinces outlawing the practice of arcane magic by non-guild members (the exception is Bardic magic, which is protected by the Bardic College and the Temple of Tethos). The guildtowers also strongly encourage mages to specialize; even generalist mages must associate with one of the individual towers (though there is an underground sub-culture amongst generalists).

Wetilla (Large City)

• Classification: Large City
• Population: ~18,500
• Wealth: Moderate
• Major Industry: Trade, Wood Products, Raw Timber
• Specialty Goods: Mighty Bows, Fine Wines, Stoutwood
• Populace Average Alignment: Neutral
• Leader Alignment: Neutral
• Government and Leadership: Feudal Monarchy, Duke Charles DuMontis

Demographics:

Human: 74%	Half-Elf: 3%	Elf: 10%
Dwarf: 1%	Gnome: 2%	Halfling: 8%
Half-Orc: 1%	Other: 1%

History: Wetilla was founded in EK 344 as a logging camp, and quickly grew into a sizeable trading post. Its ideal location at the conjunction of two rivers made it into a viable trade center between the old Elven capital of Arborlon, and the cities of Capaal and Tourmaline. The abundant forest and fertile land surrounding the city also provided plenty of industry and agriculture.

City Lore: Cuisine in Wetilla is typical Northeastern fare: pheasant, pork, roast tubers, stout breads, and several local wines, many of Elven influence. Wetillan cuisine also makes use of the bounty of fish provided by the confluence of rivers. Locals tend to be practical sorts, with many laying claims to more rural roots than most urban dwellers. Dress is commonly earth tones and greens, with conservative cuts and styles. Most residents carry or wear hats and parasols, as it rains fairly frequently.

Demographically, Wetilla is a human city, though with a sizeable population of Elves and Half-Elves. Being the gateway towards the Knife Edge Mountains, Wetilla sees a fair number of dwarven goods pass thru, along with dwarven merchants. Crime is moderate, in Wetilla. The Crimson Cutpurses run the show. They are a flamboyant lot, and avoid violent crimes, preferring protection rackets, petty theft, and burglary.

Wetilla has only two Guildtowers, but a large wizard population for the city’s size. Enchantment and Conjuration services are available. The main Church is of Sunia, with other temples devoted to Solis, Sunia, Vesparta, Astalus, Corrine, Midir, Bormir, and Tethos. The Bardic College is quite sizeable, serving Wetilla and outlying areas. The two warrior’s guilds have a tense rivalry. The Sword and Shield Association is larger, and better organized, than the Axebasher’s Guild, but the latter has recently acquired considerable manpower.

Landmarks/Places of Interest:

• In the city square, a statue commemorating the battle of Archer’s Glade depicts a lone ranger drawing his bow against an unseen opponent.
• The Tavern of the Rising Sun is reputed to be one of the best in the region.

  • Tourmaline: Capital of the region, known for fine jewels and magic services
  • Capaal: Renowned for the baths and natural springs; an ancient Elven city.
  • Arborlon: This Elven capital is a hub of culture and art.
• Cities:
  • Andors: Sister city to Wetilla; deals in logging and livestock.
  • Wetilla: Lumber and woodmaking city; situated at the confluence of three rivers
  • Eastbreak: Fishing and trading city; last port around the Cape of Hope.
  • Farview: Primary trading port for the Dalelands.
  • Port Hugis: Navy town, with extensive dockyards for ship construction.
  • Port Farthis: Mining and sailing city; most inland port for the League.
  • Niondel: Elven city; famous for silks. Home of the Silk Lords.
  • Clydemaark: Human and dwarven city known for its river boats.
  • Dun Morig: Dwarven city; major exporter of cold iron.
  • Harborpost: Northernmost port city on the continent; vacation spot for rich nobles
• Townships: Fenwick, Arrowdale, Jenkin’s Hole, Alyn, Lind, Sailor’s Rest, Dun Vast, Tulis, Farport, Wending

Climate: Temperate, Warm. The Dyninn Forest area receives ample rainfall, with the Tuluvian Jungle being a true rainforest. Severe thunderstorms are common in the summer, and typically one or two major snowfalls in the winter. Fall and spring are mild, with considerable temperature variances.

Geography: The League of Cities is situated mostly amidst the great Dyninn Forest, named after the first Elven King of the region. Despite the sizeable population centers present, especially along the eastern coast, there are still vast tracts of unspoiled wilderness. The region has several strategic natural borders, protecting it from most invaders; namely the Black Marsh to the south, and the Knife Edge mountains, part of the Dwarven Clanlands. Ample grasslands serve as the region’s breadbasket, mostly around the capital of Tourmaline.

History and Politics: The League of Cities is a loose association of mostly isolated city-states of varying power: from mighty Tourmaline, Arborlon, and Capaal, down to the minor players of Wetilla, Andors, and Niondel, etc. The League came into existence in response to the threat of the Rising of the Three, around ER 1260, as a pact of common defense against that terrible terror. Despite this effort, the Three would ravage the Dyninn region, with many cities - such as Oeatrus, a major center of learning and history - being completely razed and lost.

Before, and after, the Rising of the Three, inter-city conflicts were common, especially between the main power centers of Capaal, Arborlon, and Tourmaline. The Kingdom of Muriah would play on these internecine struggles to force the region to declare fealty, but even now occasional border disputes strain relations between towns and cities. The region has also long been a hotbed of racial conflicts, mainly between the Clan dwarves and the Arborlonian elves, with the humans taking varying sides. These feuds have been quiet for centuries, but both races have long memories.

The League, or more specifically the cities within the league, have always been more interested in commerce than any other pursuit. The natives of this region are stereotyped as having a certain air of pragmatic self-interest. As such, mercantilism is the order of the day, and many of the main merchant guilds have considerable political clout in the region. The League has some of the most lenient business laws of all the regions, making it a strong area of innovation and development.

The pragmatic nature of the majority of the residents of the Dynnin also make them fairly tolerant (for good and ill). Second only to the Free States in diversity, almost anything and everything can be found or purchased at one of the cities here. All of the major races, and most of the minor ones, have enclaves or communities within the region. The Fey are common throughout the Dynnin, as well, as are many sylvan creatures.

Laws: Laws very slightly from city to city within the League, though major crimes are mostly standardized: murder, treason, arson, aggravated assault, etc. are all punishable by death. Lesser crimes very more widely, from a simple fine to extensive hard labor or forced incarceration. Occasionally banishment is given for a repeat offender of petty crimes. The courts are managed by the Temple of Divine Justice (Midir), to ensure fairness and justice, though clerics of Bormir also practice law.

Economics: Taxes are collected and enforced at the pleasure of the local ruling nobility, or village reave. They are often collected once per season. Some Duchies have road tolls for popular highways (and some con-men and bandits have attempted to set up their own 'tax stations'). Generally, though, taxes are relatively low in the region, as each duchy competes for commerce with the others. Any significant increase generally causes an exodus of merchants and wealth, and fewer coins in the pockets of the guildmasters.

Most municipalities have an organized thieve's guild, often tolerated by the governing body as a necessary evil. As long as they do not overstep their bounds, they are allowed to perpetuate their minor crimes. Banditry is a bigger problem: the vast areas of unsettled wilderness allow for many a bandit company to operate within the Dynnin.

The region is a major exporter of lumber and wood products, as well as gems, precious metals, and grains from the Dyninn grasslands. The region imports hard metals and a variety of other trade goods. Overall, the region is a net exporter of goods, providing a fair bit of wealth for the merchants settled there.

Military and Clout: The League of Cities is a fairly powerful force on the continent. The navy is second only to the Bloodcoast Consortium, and is experienced at stopping pirate excursions from farther south. The army focuses on mobility and skirmishing tactics, with much of their tactics and strategy taken from the Elves. They are well-equipped, as Dyninn bows are renowned throughout the kingdom.

Many minor deities serve in his court, each representing one aspect of suffering and sin attributed to Morphius. Morphius is greatly allied with Tiranus.

Followers: Followers of Morphius consist only of those who have suffered, and sought solace thru pledging fealty to the Lord of Decay, or those who wish to see others suffer.

They often pose as beggars or the homeless, which has led to draconian measures against both groups in some places. There are no vestments required for Clerics of Morphius, though there is a canon. The canon details the great sufferings of the world, and talks of personal enlightenment and power thru suffering.

It is he who made up up, and down down.

Followers: Midir is not actively worshipped by many outside of nobility and those responsible for keeping the peace. The Kingdom of Muriah has tasked the church of Midir with serving as the only eligible judicial court in the lands.

Clerics of Midir swear an oath to uphold the Truth. To lie is considered a transgression before Midir, with the severity dependent on the nature of the lie.

This makes clerics of Midir either poor diplomatic company, or adept at changing the topic, in social situations.

Many clerics of Midir are required to serve some time in the courts of the lands.

• Temple of the Great Void: Worshippers of the supreme essence of nothingness.
