Talanor, the Bright Tower
Realms - Pyrae
Pyrae
During the height of the Kingdom of Esteparon, Pyrae was a growing port town on the coast along the Rynin Sea. By the time it had grown to be the largest port of call, Pyrae had developed it’s own garrison made of outcasts and lower noble’s whose prospects within the Kingdom were limited.
An area in the center of town is a massive outcropping of volcanic rock with a deep whole in the center. A flaming eruption happens every night after the setting sun. First, a surge of positive energy followed by the flame then a gust of wind blowing any ashes into the Rynin Sea. The site was the execution site for the worst enemies of the Kingdom of Esteparon in a ceremonial pyre. A family of nobles were burned but survived and took the location as their new home, building around The Basalt Rising. They welcomed outcasts and built the city.
Stoorjian, the 1st Hazard of Pyrae, came to the city and built his tower outside of the city. After his disappearance in 4295 E.C., undead began to rise upon the rock, known as The Basalt Rising, and executions were halted. It was said that those that remained at the pyre beyond sundown, were transformed to undead by morning.
Nearly every good and passenger traveling between Esteparon and Haemil would have used the port. Anything can be bought or sold there. It is a capitalist society ruled by a semi-corrupt republic. Slavery is allowed.
Following the Shaping, the city of Pyrae was overwhelmed by a horde of undead; including an undead dragon. Much of the town burned and was abandoned by any who survived.
