Ardlun Description:
The Hub Of Era: Political Intrigue, Academic Prowess, and Heroic Pursuit!
A densely populated region forged like a diamond in the rough. Ardlun has been through its fair share of conflict through the continent's first civilized millenia. From the many battles fought in the forming wars to a barrage of revolution and regicide in the first age, Ardlun is now a bustling land filled with ambitious, wise folk.
Largely, the populations seek academic prowess, studying the magic of the Temples of Power while also exemplifying the requisite skepticism to discover truth. The university's slogan say it best: "Pursuant Of The Greats."
And great it is, through a diverse collection of cities. New King's City, the capitol, is absolutely filled with fascinating characters and stories. Guilds, Brigades, Courts and more line the streets of the many visitors, providing a hub of knowledge and culture for any visitors to the packed capitol.
But don't forget some of the region's other fascinating towns lining the streets of Ardlun. Loganstown is the sole township in Era that practices no religion, studies no magic. Dupalm is a farming town with a dark and brutal history that includes an attempted overthrow of the kingdom. Dinen is the sole elvish community outside of the Pellendhel walls in all of Era. And in Haustville, a merry band of Tieflings make their presence known with song and dance for any and all visitors. But no matter where one visits, Ardlun is sure to have a place to satisfy the body, mind, and soul.
