Nostridan - South Deitzeil

Southern dEITZEIL

The Southern Dry lands of DEITZIEL were ONCE INHOSPITABLE DUNES AND CRAGGY MOUNTAINS, but THE MASTERFUL WORK OF THE ARCONOTECHS ERECTED THE ARCANE CITY OF ROA IN IT'S SOUTHEASTERN CORNER. magically PROTECTED FROM THE SCORCHING SUN AND BLADELIKE WINDS. now THE AREAS SURROUNDING THE CITY HAVE SLOWLY BEEN TAMED AS WELL. sO WHAT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN OVER LOOKED A FEW HUNDRED YEARS AGO IS NOW ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST POPULATED AND POWERFUL CITIES.

tHE CITY SUFFERED A TERRIBLE DISASTER WHEN THE LAYLINES WERE DESTROYED, The spell plauge ripped its streets apart. Sorcoeers who lived in roa and numbered in the hundreds of thousands, all at once lost control of there magics, many were killed and the city was never the same, The leader at the time, TALIHANI dEACON, WAS FORCED TO STEP DOWN BY THE MOB OF CITIZENS AND IN HIS PLACE THE WAR HERO lOGAN mERCURIA WAS INSTALLED. bUT THIS RETURN OF STIBILTIY CAME AT THE PRICE OF THE CITY-STATES INDEPENDENCE AS mERCURIA SURRENDERED REGENCY OF SOUTHERN DEITZIEL TO NABORING nOSTRIDAN. mUCH NEEDED AID CAME TO rOA WHICH SAVED THE CITY FROM TOTAL COLLASP. aND IT HONORS IT'S RELATIONSHIP WITH tHE LERIAN OR nOSTRIDAN TO THIS DAY.

rOA IS A CITY THAT WOULD BE FAMILIAR TO US, BUT ENTIRELY ODD IN A TRADITIONAL FANTASY SETTING. massive SKY SCRAPERS, lavish TUXDOS AND GOWNS, MACHINE VICHAELS. aLL BROUGHT TO LIFE BY THE arcane CORPORATIONS, EACH SELLING VARIOUS COMFORTS FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD THEM. Those who have more coin than they could feesably spend inevitability end up in roa WHERE THEY ARE OFFERED NEARLY ANYTHING THEY CAN DREAM UP.

aLSO AMONG THESE SECRECT SOCITIES IS THE yEILDLESS eYE. a powerful Illuminati esk group dedicated to finding and decimating knowladge that could help prevent another catyclism like the one the world indured 20 years ago.

CULTURE

Rulership

The city is governed by Logan Murceian, a dictator. However much of his power comes from the 7 arcane corporations who sponcer his rule. The province is vassalized by the greater kingdom of Grand Nostridan

Food.

Roain food tends to be conjured, as such tastes extremely bland. Becuase of this spices, salts, and seasonings are traded in great amounts in roa. Some restaurants on the streets dont even offer food, merely sauses and sides.

tERMOIL

Corporate Arcana

tHE STREETS OF THE CITY ARE PAtROlLED BY 7 DISTINCT GROUPS OF SWORDS FOR HIRE, EACH BELONGING TO ONE OF THE 7 legal corporations of Roa, and a few who operate more secretly. These bodies represent the public secret of the arcane city. The real power isnt in the government, or even with the lerian at the capital, but with these private interests.

There coin keeps the city alive and if for whatever reason one out competed another, or a few left the city, Roa would be in jepordy of falling into chaos as it did 35 years ago. a fact hey Barons of these corporations often remind the Dictator Logan Mercuian of regularly.
