Harena Though placed in the heat of desert, this city shines bright with vacationers. An oasis in a barren land, filled with artifacts and people who prefer the "old ways", Harena is a great escape from the cold of society. From the hotsprings to the relaxing services you can procure from many shops, this smaller town is known to change the heart of many. Especially when it comes to the thought of what Sterilis holds. The trail is long and difficult, but the trek is worth it. Year Incorporated: 302 Population: Approximately 7,000 Human: 77% Beastkin: 12% Elven: 4% Dwarven: 5% Other: 1% Magically Inclined: Approximately 11% Ongoing Lore (Click) Snake Den The community garden, the Snake Den is a maze of cobblestone pathways where desert plants dot every corner, tended to by alert caretakers. It also acts as a zoo of sorts, also being home to animal habitats of many different desert creatures. It is especially famous for it’s snakes, in particular Great Ahkul, a snake of historic length measuring an entire hundred feet long. The main caretaker, an elf named Zalindra, is always ready and happy to help you if you need anything. Spring has Sprung Spring Has Sprung is a hot springs run by a woman named Shakir. It is a popular spot for young couples and friend groups to spend time and bond together, and it is the best spot in the city to heat yourself up when the cold of the desert’s night air settles in. SandStone Sandstone is a prison where the criminals of Harena are kept. It’s most common occupants are thieves and robbers, since sadly so often wares as exotic and valuable as the ones that grace Harena’s market are too tempting to resist. The warden is a man named Dhul Sharid, and he is a ruthless man who gives the prisoners no quarter. He hates thieves especially. Fire Spire Such a fitting name for an oasis town in the middle of the desert. Fire Spire has everything you are looking for! With such harsh conditions, and an outstanding reputation for well made items, you know you are getting what you pay for. Most armor is enchanted to help keep the metal cool during those hot, sunny days, and warm during the frigid nights. Oddly enough, you will be greeted by half-orcs. Harena is known for upholding Simul's coexisting standards. Not only orcs, but the nicest married orcs you will ever meet! Do not let their gruff exterior fool you. You will not find a friendly pair in all of Sterilis than Raguk and Ignatz Urog! Carpe Librum What oasis would be complete without a beautiful and packed library and book store? Come on in to Carpe Librum where you will find yourself stepping down into the underground building where it is much cooler. What started out as a way to keep cool from the desert sun has molded into people actually reading and purchasing literature. There are a lot of history books on Simul, which makes this library a popular destination for historians and nobles on vacation. The owner, Tami will greet every single person with a sweet smile! Abdul's Beans Abdul’s Beans is a popular coffee shop in Harena, known for serving cold brew to fit the climate of the hot, hot desert. When you need something to keep you awake but not burn your tongue, this is the place to go. Abdul makes certain that every cup is up to his high standards. Undying Sun A tavern owned by an orcish man named Ghrul Makin. He is a very religious man, and often prays while in the midst of his work. The Undying Sun has a sun motif and religious art hangs on the walls, from various faiths. The tavern is famous for its powerful spiced wines, using spices from the market. Mending Ways A large hospital that takes care of most of the city’s sick, funded by a very generous and wealthy man named Khakil Mhadrin, who also helps run the hospital. It is famed for a trio of elven nurses who work there, Mhalim, Mhishra, and Mensra, triplets born with excellent magical healing abilities. When you’re mending this way, you mend quick. Baked in the Sun Baked In The Sun is one of the local bakeries of Harena. Here, one can find a wide variety of pastries, made by the talented baker Hamil Ghindra. They are especially known for their sun-shaped cookies and the many varieties of flavor they manage to lace their cookies with. Cranberry Cures Cranberry is an odd nickname, but this healer wears it with pride! If someone were to ask, she would answer "Look at my skin! I am a living Cranberry!" Cranberry is an amazing tiefling healer with potions and plants and a healing touch as well. Based in Harena, she does see a lot of burns and such. She is also a midwife, able to deliver children with as much ease as possible. Stimulating An odd name for an odd little potion shop. Welcome to Stimulating! We have everything you need for your daily potion making or even completed potions for those who just want to get the job done. Be sure to ask Shera about her special foot cream. Walking for miles won't be a problem! Menu Here Broken Fox The Broken Fox is an oddly named butcher’s shop run by a man named Khalis Ventris, a half-wolf man who is not known for being the kindest of people but is known for the quality of his meats. He has never once had a food poisoned customer, and his meat is always fresh. Notably, he sells the meat of creatures one might not normally sell the meat of, like fennec foxes. For some reason, he seems to hate foxes and fox-like creatures.

Eastern Coast From Gao Shan to just east of Korrig City lays the Eastern Coast of Simul. The southern reaches of this strip of land is nearly sea level. Sandy beaches and warm salty air beckons for a great vacation. However, the more north you trek, the higher the edges of our great kingdom are to the ocean. Eventually, one will run into massive cliffs and can see for miles of beautiful blue. The northernmost tip welcomes back the water-fairing travelers to walk without obstruction into the sea.

SkyHaven Taking over for its late sister city, Wish Well, many traders, farmers and others do business in SkyHaven. Most people seek land nearby as the soil is rich and the weather is fair year round. Surrounded by the natural beauty of mountains and lush prairies, Sky Haven is among the top destinations for settling. The people of SkyHaven are naturally good. Everyone knows everybody and no one ever seems to go hungry. Wary travelers are housed and there are plenty of good job opportunities. There are large taverns, a couple smaller pubs, butchers, bakeries, blacksmiths, and even libraries. The schools are rich with knowledge. SkyHaven makes a great place to raise a family! SkyHaven has a large population of about 19,000. Stat Placeholder Year Incorporated: 153 Ongoing Lore (Click) Sky Haven Drafted Spirits Just as the name implies, Ralnor's potions and salves are very useful to the "soul". Mending, healing and all around good for you vials fill his shop. It is rare, but he has been known to craft more...harmful substances. Menu Here Doctor Serenity A young doctor, Serenity has often been seen as incompetent. The night she saved an expectant mother from certain death by performing secret magic only her people used to practice. What was it, you ask? No one will ever know. The end. Good heals. Serenity's home is very similar in interior to a tavern. Homey feel. Warm and cozy. Still, lots of rooms for lots of patients. Benitoite Church "Father, please forgive me for my sins... for if you don't... I will be d e s t r o y e d..." The Benitoite Church, located in the outskirts of Skyhaven, is a... horrible place. Their beliefs are based solely off the fact that all life other than that of the humans should be condemned to a fiery death in the deepest pits of all the hells. Humans, they believe, are the superior species, and anything other than that, they refer to as, "Sub-human." Every day, the masses gather for sermons of their beloved priest. These sermons consist mostly of the priest damning the innocent, expressing how "The time is now, brethren! We will rise above all beasts polluting Simul as we know it!" In his raspy, cold voice. This priest, known only as Ferren, holds... immeasurable power over the worshiping humans, it is by request of their "god" that he regularly search the masses for signs of any undesirable subhuman traits. He says, "The gods speak through me. I am your holy compass; converse or perish..." Any of these "afflicted" humans would be.... "cleansed"... It is a gruesome process.. All the cleansed have never be the same again. These poor humans believe that, once joining the Benitoite church, they would escape a painful death with the "damned" subhumans they had been brainwashed to hate. Once in too deep... y o u c a n n e v e r e s c a p e B e n e t o i t e Devil's Kneecap Welcome to The Devil's Kneecap! A popular Tavern located just outside the walls of SkyHaven. The barmaids are gorgeous, the ale is plentiful, and the patrons are rowdy. Don't take any offense, the owner, Rob, keep the gruff ones in check. The prices are just right. And the beds are comfy. Come on down and let's get fucking drunk! Plenty of rooms to spare, this massive tavern can house up to twenty guests at a time. And even more if you chose to sleep on the floorboards. Fights break out often. What can we say? The booze tends to do most of the talking. Grace Clinic The largest hospital in Skyhaven, the owner of Grace Clinic, Kristoph, has a massive staff of not only holistic and natural healers, but a powerful group of arch mages to help treat even the worst of ailments. Though the price is steep, it is worth it. Poisons, plagues and the like can be treated. Breathing Fire Just on the outer edge of Skyhaven, you will find one of the most popular blacksmiths in town. This is Steelbeard. As you will notice, he doesn't have a beard. Legend says he sacrificed the ability to grow a full beard to be able to make amazing smiths. Armor and weapons alike that come from Breathing Fire take well to enchantments, though Steelbeard himself cannot imbue. Bread in the Sky A bakery run by a woman named Carla, who is known for her excellent breads and runs the store along with her husband, Manny. The husband and wife couple are beloved by the people of the town, known for donating portions of their profits from their delicious baked goods to those in need. Little Land A rather small but well-tended community garden run by an elf named Carrisian. Oddly enough, Carrisian used to be a pirate, but one day he encountered a patch of flowers so beautiful he sailed to Simul and settled down to start a garden. It is home to a large quantity of very rare flowers called crystallins, flowers with crystalline structures that despite it grow just like normal flowers, although they’re rather fragile. Marabell's Tavern More information HERE Blossom's Athenaeum A beautiful library held in the shopping district of Skyhaven. Though it is not nearly as big as the ones in Sudbury, it still holds much information on lots of things. All the things. Yis. Come check it out! You would be surprised! Not just at the selection of information, but the beautifully crafted building itself. The owner and operator, Cora, welcomes all with open doors. An Axe to Grind A butcher’s shop run by a man who calls himself Axhand Abe, who exclusively butchers his meat using an axe. He is a strange man, and the meat doesn’t always come out exactly finely chopped, but he means well.

Korrig Harbor City Korrig was a small fishing village built with the old washed up bones from some unknown sea-monster. Through trade established with Sudbury, they began to grow quickly; the people receiving help and better building supplies. Within the course of 80 years, they went from simple homes to a walled city with attached castle, and a port big enough for some of the largest ships on the seas. A bell on the harbor clangs loudly and seabirds scream and cry overhead, fighting with one another for any tasty scrap dropped by people in the street. The salt air is heavy and the paint on the buildings are warn from sea storms but the people are bright and enigmatic. The market is loud throughout the day and there are sea-shanties to be heard all over the city streets. The smell of fish and salt and sea has sunk into every part of this city. Korrig grows every day, becoming more important to the economy of Simul as the lands grow with new people and new ventures. The population has topped 20,000 souls and hopes to acquire more. Stat Placeholder Year Incorporated: 1129 Ongoing Lore (Click) Korrig Misses Smith "Women can smith just as well as men!" A frequent phrase you will hear walking through the door of Korrig's most popular blacksmith shop, Misses Smith. Run by Julia and her lovely wife, Amethyst. Most of their items are made with more than a womanly touch. Tough and highly durable, these pieces are not general imbued, however, can be if taken to the right mage. Lambs to the Slaughter A butcher’s shop run by a man named One-Eye Pete, so-named for the fact he has only one eye. It’s pretty self-explanatory. He provides high quality meat that is as finely cut as they come, Pete loving precision and refusing anything but perfection. Many of the meats sold here come from across the sea, bringing an exotic flavor to the meat market. Healthy Heals A hospital run by a former fisherman, Healthy Heals is one of the most well-kept hospitals in Korrig. It is run by a man named Salty, whose stories of his times at sea often entertain sick patients at the hospital. Rather than magic, the hospital usually prefers “natural” healing, meaning anything non-magical, though they’ll use magic when it’s needed. Salty doesn’t trust magic, not since that one day… What happened on the dreaded “that day” changing with every telling. Insight Though it is small for a library, Insight has most information people need. Often used as a place for children to study, you won't often find people digging for highly rare material. Still, it is a nice little place to come, sit, relax, enjoy a mug of coffee made by the owner, Brit, and read. The Thirsty Seahound A tavern of modest quality run by modest people, a pair of husbands named John and James. The two serve their customers with as much love as they would a child, preparing their meals with all the care of a mother. The tavern usually smells of salt and fish, a side effect of all the fishermen who frequent it. Bolstering Brews Come on down to Bolstering Brews for your home remedies and cleaning supplies! Jarren is great with his hands and even better with his mind. Specializing in home remedies for common illness, he also creates potions for everyday use and cleaning. Menu Here Sally's Muffins A simple bakery run by a woman named Sally, an elderly woman who has been baking since she was just a young girl and loving it all the while. Kindly and always giving a smile, she provides a lot of hungry fishermen with fresh pastries. Her muffins are especially delicious, being declared “famous”, and so the store is named after them. Dock's Harbor The docks of the harbor, a spot where a lot of Simulian trade occurs. It is one of the most lively places in all the continent, ships coming to and from the harbor to sell and steal away with their wares. The dockmaster, who just so happens to be named Dock (though most people don’t believe that’s his real name), will help anyone who needs it to get to where they need to go. Just don’t bother him while he’s busy. Which is...often. Might be worth the yelling for these prices! Mending Waters In the great city of Korrig Harbor lies a great healer. Tending to the sea fairing and travelers, Sam doesn't let a single soul leave her city in disarray. She is not a talkative woman, but she sure has a touch that can heal just about any ailment. Even those coming to her for birthing their children will be met with the same caring eyes as any other. Her home is cozy, and there is always hot water on the fire. Tea, coffee, a warm bath, anything you need. Had she not dedicated her life to practicing healing, some lucky man would have swept this beautiful woman up. Using water as her main way of healing, she picked one of the best cities to settle in. Her touch is usually cool, but her use can be any temperature. Whatever is most comfortable for you. Fishy Feats A store for all things fishing. Fishing rods, bait, things to ward off nasty sea creatures while you’re out on the ocean, Fishing Bob’s got it all! He has dedicated his entire life to the craft, the greatest accomplishment he has ever had being taking that fish twice the size of a man from the grips of mother sea. It lies mounted on his wall to this day, carefully preserved and polished.

Eleutheria Ongoing Lore (Click) Welcome to Simul's capitol: Eleutheria. This beautiful city is located on an island in the middle of Lake Chester. Lake Chester is a much larger lake than Lake Torra located in the south. Atop the island is the King and Queen's residence that has an open door policy during the day, as it is heavily guarded. Travel on foot throughout is made possible through the many golden walls or towers found on the inner or outer walls. All are welcome within its walls. The King and Queen encourage all throughout the land to not only visit, but to reside in their castle city. The place is big enough to house a large city. The people are more than friendly, and thus, there is rarely any notable crime. This is also due to the highly trained mages patrolling the area on a constant basis. It is said that the atmosphere is lovely enough to soothe even the darkest of hearts. The first level is home to most of the occupants. The second has more upscale homes and shops. The third level is the royal home. Year Incorporated: 122 Population: Approximately 20,000 Human: 63% Elven: 17% Dwarven: 5% Other: 15% Magically inclined: Approximately 11% Black Garden Asylum In the deepest parts of Eleutheria, there is rumored to be a prison, run by the worst warden anyone has ever heard of. They don't even know her name...Well...not so much as rumor. More of one of those stories you tell your children at night. "Don't be bad unless you want to end up in Black Garden Asylum. Where all the bad people have to stay forever." Little do most know, this is actually the case. Within the castle city, where only few know, there lies a massive prison. One that only a RARE select few have ever been released from. Inside of this horrid place, hidden far from the citizens, is a maze of stone walls and cages separated only by the mass amount of arch mages who live and work there. Their job? To siphon all energies from the inmates. Magical, mental, life force. Anything they have to, every second of every day, in order to weaken all who are contained. Every cell is divided by nearly a half mile of concrete and steel. The rest of the rooms? Those are for the workers. Never a split second goes by that someone is left alone. This does not happen, as the inmates are inmates for a reason. Not only is it impossible to get in, but impossible to get out. Smoldering Sword Those looking for high quality weapons and armor that find themselves in The Smoldering Sword have found just what they are looking for. Each weapon is made to order, though there is a shop of pre-mades as the front entrance. The smith, Charles, has no ability to make enchanted weapons. If you buy, you are buying good, old fashions steel. The Dancing Mug A place welcoming to all travelers who seek shelter and company after great adventures!

The Magistera The Magistera is one of the world's-or at least, so the academy's headmistress, Glacios , will claim-greatest and most prestigious places of arcane knowledge. It is here that aspiring young mages, and more elderly ones just looking to brush up on their skills and learn a few new things, as wisdom is not exclusive to the youth, come from all across the continent to learn, practice, and unlock the full potential of the magical arts. The academy is known for having a deeply expansive library filled to the brim with books on arcane subjects ranging from the very basics to knowledge of exotic magical dealings you've never heard of originating from far-off lands. Of course, the academy offers not just educational services but is the place to go if you have to deal with some unfortunate magical trouble or need expert advice. Curses, magical diseases, just need some advice? The academy can help! The headmistress, Glacios , may look like a young woman, but her intelligence is beyond her outward appearance. She is a player made and run character. More information HERE Chester Port The only way to go from Wingston to Eleutheria without teleporting or flying or swimming would be through Port Chester. Just on the outside of Elutheria's main entrance, one can catch a boat, big or small to and from. Most of the time, the big boats are run by Ryan. The smaller boats are for rent, as long as you return them unscathed! Vombri Healingfist Vrombi may not look like it, but the dwarven man is the best healer in all of Eleutheria. His schedule is often booked with the mundane. Cuts and bumps and bruises. When he is not tending to the local drunkards and their scuffles, Vrombi can be found wandering around the royal part of the castle tending to the King's Guard. He is also very versed with women giving birth. A very rare sight to see: A male midwife. Pages of Time The largest library and book store in all of Simul sits deep inside of Eleutheria. With acres of papers, Pages of Time has rooms that haven't been touched in decades. You will often find yourself among others camping out inside of the building, hoping to find that rare piece of literary mastery. You may want to bring your own camping gear. A lonely librarian by the name of Elijah Gadiel runs this massive collection and is one of the most friendly day walking vampires you could meet! Black Garden Asylum In the deepest parts of Eleutheria, there is rumored to be a prison, run by the worst warden anyone has ever heard of. They don't even know her name...Well...not so much as rumor. More of one of those stories you tell your children at night. "Don't be bad unless you want to end up in Black Garden Asylum. Where all the bad people have to stay forever." Little do most know, this is actually the case. Within the castle city, where only few know, there lies a massive prison. One that only a RARE select few have ever been released from.

This does not happen, as the inmates are inmates for a reason. Not only is it impossible to get in, but impossible to get out. The High Night Considered one of the most plush taverns in Eleutheria, The High Night offers amazingly luxurious rooms for a decent price.
