Nulbish is a major city in the United Kingdom of Ahlissa.
History
Nulbish was the capital of the former See of Medegia before it became a province of the Great Kingdom. Then it became the seat of the province of the same name.
During the Greyhawk Wars, the area was almost overrun by an army out of Chathold led by the General Osson, and while it did not fall, they did suffer the heaviest losses in the Darmen lands, which in the post war period has led to members of the population being jumpier than most, especially since several trusted advisors were revealed to be Scarlet Brotherhood spies.
Cityscape
Kalstrand or Jalpa are more grand than Nulbish, and it has a more tense and more rushed quality about it. The walls and the watchtowers around the city were reoaired in 585 CY. The city has a brutal and violent slum where even the watchmen do not usually go.[1]
Geography and climate
Nulbish is near the Thelly River in the southeastern part of the former Great Kingdom (now Ahlissa).
People
Religion
Although not particularly well-organized, the priesthood of Hextor holds a good deal of influence among the city's people. To ensure they are loyal to him and not to Overking Ivid V, the prince must spy on them constantly.
Notable Individuals
- Magistar Vlent: The city's military commander, who is a skilled fighter/mage and war hero. He was under suspicion by the general population, if not by Prince Harnnad, because he right hand man turned out to be a Scarlett Brotherhood spy.
Military
Two main forces protect Nulbish. The first is a flotilla of heavy cogs and river boats full of well-armed and vicious troops, with an exceptionally high number of mages among them. The second is a group of mercenaries, including many orcs, half-orcs and ex-penal militia, whom Prince Harnnad brought in after the siege by the Glorioles Army and refused to let go of, even after the war was over. The military in the city is commanded by Magistar Vlent.
