- | =====Toth, City of Necromancers===== | ||
- | ===Summary=== | ||
- | Toth is the only city on the island of [[settings: | ||
- | |||
- | ====Government==== | ||
- | ===The Oligarchy=== | ||
- | |||
- | For millennia, Toth has been ruled by a handful of elite families of mages. In particular, the city is dominated by necromancers and, to a lesser extent, other earth mages. Traditional law doesn’t quite apply in Toth, as the entire island is often in chaos due to inter-family conflict, in which the oligarchs vie for power against each other. This has prevented the city from retaking the wilds of Koth, as the families often sabotage each other when they try to rebuild the ruins | ||

- | ====The Black One==== | ||
- | |||
- | Not much is known about [[settings: | ||
- | |||
- | ====Priesthoods==== | ||
- | |||
- | ==General== | ||
- | |||
- | In this region, priests are much less numerous than they are on the mainland. The mages of the region have zero appreciation for the gods, as they don’t like any additional oversight into their more unscrupulous activities. This often means that priests are left death threats or, in some cases, completely disappear. | ||
- | |||
- | ==Ra and Tor== | ||
- | |||
- | At the current moment, Ra’ites and Tor’ites have enough forces to avoid being overrun, but the sheer number of local mages is too much for them to claim the city for their own. While none of the families may currently challenge the priests, it’s only a matter of time before the ghoul-callers come knocking on the temple doors with hordes of undead. | ||
- | |||
- | ==Rudri== | ||
- | |||
- | If there were any location of Jaern in which the worship of Rudri was tolerated, Koth would be it. Rudri, being a god of chaos and darkness, thrives off of the behaviors of the island’s inhabitants, | ||
- | |||
- | ==Isis== | ||
- | |||
- | Isis keeps a relatively lackluster presence on the island, as she is cautious to send her priests to an island that has been so horribly corrupted by death magics. | ||
- | |||
- | ==Osiris== | ||
- | |||
- | There are little to no Osirisites on the island, as most of the land and local wildlife has been corrupted by dark magic. As such, Osiris does not feel like it is appropriate to send her emissaries to a place in which the undead are as nearly as common as the living. | ||
- | |||
- | ==Zepherin== | ||
- | |||
- | Zepherinites on the island are primarily fighting against the defilement of corpses. | ||
- | |||
- | ==Taurus== | ||
- | |||
- | Taurus is a relatively well-received god on the island, especially among the oligarchy. The families tend to be pretty secretive, with a high preference towards subterfuge, and are always hoarding knowledge of their dark magics. As such, Taurus reaps pretty high informational profits from the island, as everybody is hoarding secrets from each other. | ||

- | ===Influential Families and Syndicates=== | ||
- | ==Kahl-Er== | ||
- | The Kahl-Er family used to be, by far, the most powerful family in the entire city. The late Lord Caldevitch, a master necromancer, | ||

- | ====Interesting Locations==== | ||
- | ===Bars, Inns, and Restaurants=== | ||
- | ==Dead Man's Inn== | ||
- | This bar is the more "rough and tumble" | ||
- | ==The Black Death== | ||
- | The Dead Man's Inn is one of the more upscale bars of the region, where most of the powerful necromancers in the city go to drink. It's a fairly nice establishment, | ||
- | ===Businesses=== | ||
- | ==First Financier' | ||
- | This is the largest bank in the city, and is owned by the [[settings: | ||
