Sestra

Origin/History

Sestra is a small village near Sundren's central coast. Unlike its sister settlements, Sestra was founded within recent years (1352 the Year after the Exigo expanded so greatly) for the sole purpose of allowing new commoners locations outside of the capital's walls to settle in. Boasting unrivaled fishing and farming, Sestra is a bountiful town blessed by the goddess Chauntea. A shrine erected to her blessing is placed in the southern part of town, not far from the Mey Savak Monestary.

Sestra's site was selected due to a sect of monks whom had already built a monastery on what would be named the future town. It was thought that by building around the monastery, the location would be seen as safe and a good place for a family. These Mey Savak Monks have a unique and interesting history for any wandering Oghma worshiper that may travel through. They also have housed a wanderer from the east, one who specializes in equipment made for the warrior from his land, the samurai.

The first cousin of Jarius Malifar, Exarch of Port Avanthyr, was named as exarch of the small town during its establishment and has lived there since in the vast mansion that was built to such size to draw residents, and in anticipation of the small towns planned growth.

The Sestra Caverns weren't discovered to be inhabited until many years after the settling of the town. Until the town began to encroach on the growing lizardman population, the two people had lived in peace unknowingly to each others existence. This lead to the dreaded Lizard War that caused such pain and turmoil for the town, and brought the town's militia the Corps de Grace into light as a worthy defender of the people.
