Dellan

The world of Dellan is a peaceful land. There is the occasional border dispute, Orcs and Trolls would attack each, but that was mostly in the way of racial diplomacy. It is, in general peaceful. There were areas that would occasionally succumb to the Darkness, a pervasive force from the Beyond that turned the hearts of people towards it's own purpose. The purpose of death and chaos. These small outbreaks were often stopped in their tracks the moment they became apparent. In this time of light, the Knights of Ithica, or perhaps, members of the Guild of Light, would soon ensure that peace was restored.

Dellan is a haven of life surrounded by areas where death comes swiftly, be it in the fiery mountains, dessert, or troll country. While predominantly peaceful, it was not always safe. The major cities had all come to an accord, and major war was kept at bay by the Knights of Ithica, based in the centre of Dellan in the citadel. While major incidents were avoided, life was still hard in Dellan. Country Folk lived outside of the protection of the Cities, and banditism, roaming orcs and trolls, and generall opportunism made it difficult. The population of Dellan were always trying to carve a nieche out for themselves, and often thought they could challenge the power of the Knights. People's greed often led to stupidity.

Locations

Ithica

Ithica is a large sprawling city centred around the Citadel of Illan. It is a prospreous city, and sees itself as the height of culture and order. It is a city that has grown out from it's small beginning, but it is still a fortified city. The walls to the city have never been breached, despite it's numerous gates. It is a city that focuses on civil programs, ensuring plenty of sewers and clean water for it's populace. A place in Ithica is well sought out, despite what some might see as it's old-fashioned approach to policing, and moral order.

Elmar

Elmar is a city that sits on many cross-roads, and as such has become a powerful city of trade. It has never challenged Ithica for supremacy, and seems content to simply make it's money on the back of the trade taxes. It's laws are simple, and that often breeds tension between the righteous knights, and the citizens of Elmar, who seem to believe it's their right to be able to make money anyway they seem fit.
