Devarnish

Devarnish is the trade center for Veluna. Set in the eastern most point in Veluna, almost all trade from the eastern realms passes through Devarnish. The three ornate city gates allow the Count to closely monitor all trade passing trough the Great Western Road and traveling to South East on the Iron Road. The City is set in a natural bottleneck cut by the Mill Stream though the Hog Back Ridge on its way to the Velverdyva River. Within the gates are the Veluna Markets where trade from across the Flanaess can be found. The market and the gates are strictly controled and subject to taxes on goods and materials. Raw material from many sources are often combined here by the finest master craftsmen in Veluna. The concentration of Craftsmen has created the powerful Guilds that control the workshops.

Bishop Marquin Dorasie-Oeridian (Rao) The Bishop is a very imposing man in his late 40’s. He has been Bishop to Devarnish for 20 years now and takes his position very seriously. He believes that Devarnish is the most morally corrupt city in Veluna and has been waging a personal crusade against this since arriving 20 years ago. He used to have free reign to do as he pleased when Westin’s father ruled, but is finding his son to be less helpful. His current project involves setting up a group of Raoan Knights in Devarnish which he believes will drive out some of the undesirable elements in Devarnish.

Guildmaster Markei Poston- Half-Elf (Oeridian/Wood) Markei is considered the most powerful man in Devarnish after the Count and the Bishop. He runs the High Roads Trading Company, the largest trading company in Veluna, and his contacts stretch across most of the Flanaess. The Count has been trying to find a way to reel in Markei since he took office, but has not found a way. Markei lives in a mansion compound on the east side of town that rivals that of the Count himself. Some say he is setting himself up as a replacement for the Count, but nobody is sure how this could happen.

Guildmaster Lorit Baskin- Oeridian Lorit runs the Iron Rings Consortium and is Markei’s primary competition. He is a good friend of the Count and hopes to use this to his advantage against Markei. He is very seldom seen in public leaving most minor things to his employees. Rumor has it that he had something to do with the old count’s untimely death but nothing was proven.
