The Story Thus Far...
Belamus
Over the past century, Belamus has become the focal trade post for the region. It is a costal city situated on the northwest coast of Gilacia. It is the only coastal area of Gilacia close enough to sea level to act as a functional port.Of course with steady trade, comes steady crime. Belamus has a large voluntary city guard, but as strong as their numbers may be, they are unable to thwart crime in the city. The ruling government, a council of elected representatives enacted a curfew to assist the guard at keeping the peace. Bells toll throughout the city two hours after sunset. Some citizens and travelers are granted license to remain outdoors after curfew, but any person without said identification is arrested. The continued growth of Belamus is becoming problematic, as the encompassing woodland does not currently allow for outward expansion. A recent vote by the Council has approved expansion by means of cutting back the forest from the city. This action has infuriated the Druid population of Belamus and resulted in a civil war.

Count Dusan of Belamus - Count Dusan is an employee and representative of Lord Archon. He is the manager of the White Wolfe Inn, but delegates his management to Calomar, so that he may tend to his other duties. As a count of Belamus, Dusan sits on the council of the city. Lord Archon often summons him away from Belamus for the sake of overseeing treasure expeditions.Calomar - Calomar is a fierce fighter who was commander of the guard of Belamus for several decades before retiring. These days he acts as manager and head of security for the White Wolfe Inn. Despite his old age, his strength is inhuman, and there is no man in Belamus who rivals his skill with the sword.

Council of Belamus
Count Goran of Belamus - Count Goran, a druid councilmember has fought for many years to keep the city from destroying the forest for the sake of expansion. His greatest adversary on the issue has been Count Dusan, but more recently Goran's supporters are starting suffer the effects of the overcrowding, and Goran is quickly losing favor. Recently, the council has voted for expansion, and Goran is starting a civil war in response.Count Xanothoris of Belamus - Xanothoris recently gained power in the council of Belamus. He has found support amongst detractors of Goran, and has joined Count Dusan in support of deforestation for the sake of expansion of the city. Xanthoris of course has his own interests in mind. His recent investments in Belamus have been limited to what has not already been bought into by the rest of the aristocracy. In other words, while he and Dusan are politically friendly, there is great animosity between them when business is concerned.
Counts Balos & Telex of Belamus - These counts are the oldest and longest standing members of the council. Their long life in politics has jaded them, and their council votes are available to the highest bidder.

This long abandoned inn sits against the cliffs of a nearby mountain range.

Count Archon of Coralys - Lord Archon began investing in Coralys so long ago that most believe that he is a native of the city. In truth, Coralys is Archon's home away from home, and he has spent a great deal of his life living in the city, which is one of the reasons that Count Borothax's great-grandfather asked Archon to join the council and take up the title of Count so many years ago. The longest living coucil member, Archon prepares to celebrate his 100th year as Count Archon of Coralys.
