The City of Myrne

Moving along a tortuously winding alleyway, you head through a narrow archway
which leads onto a crowded avenue. Traffic, mostly pedestrian but including
the occasional wagon drawn by plodding oxen, fills the road like a babbling
stream. Passing amongst the shops and stalls, you dodge the clutching fingers
of eager merchants. Strange odours drift from powder shops and you pass
beneath the shadow of a great spiral tower, one of the buildings of the new
Emperor. Peasants shun the place, fearful of the mysterious passing its
windows and the strange sounds heard at night.

Turning a corner you find the clamour of commerce fades into the distance and
droning chants start to fill the air. People in strange dress beseech the
passersby to bow before their god and make donations before they are damned.
Walking further you reach a crossroads where you find that a turn to the left
will take you to the luxurious dwellings of the wealthy and noble-born. Fine
crafted buildings of stone with roofs of slate. A turn to the right will send
you into the crowded ghetto of the poor where a privy means an open window and
halfbreed snap gangs wait for night to fall. This is Myrne and here adventure
awaits around ever corner, you just have to know where to look.
 
 

City of Myrne Myrne is the Southern Capitol of the continent of Pelandar and was once a small settlement set amidst a sea of ancient ruins. Since the invasion, it has rapidly become a bustling metropolis and trade port. Much building work has taken place with a lot of new buildings being formed on and from the ruins of the past. The Emperor continues to order more and more impressive constructions, inlcuding huge spiral towers. Unlike many other cities and towns, the inhabitants of Myrne are happy with the rule of the new Empire considering the great prosperity it has brought to their once failing town. Ruler: Mayor Elagas Starweaver - for the Empire Population: 250 000
