Thalemouth is a bustling town, prospering yet set in its superstition. The town sits on the meeting of two rivers, causing much in the way of trade. Many ships sailed to the city Salas and on to the seas. The docks are in constant motion. Trade deals, storefronts, travelers and locals, there is always something going on. The town itself is no stranger to magic and adventurers on their way to seek glory. The noble in charge of this town is Lady Assara Thiatra, supposedly a descendant of the great god Erathis. It is said her ancestors ruled a great kingdom once, but long ago were demoted to simply lords. The shield of her family, a silver eagle on a red field, still commands the respect of many, even some who believe she should rebuild the empire. But she is content to have only Thalemouth in the name of peace. Her council is full of many interesting figures representing the interest of the town, there is rarely quiet among them. Many more people and colorful groups exist in this town, illegal or legal as they are, they make the town what it is. How your character fits into this town is up to you. You must decide how their lives have played out here so far or how they have come to be in Thalemouth.
