Aquor

Origin/History

Aquor is a town close to the Spine that houses the decadent and rich of Sundren's elite when they are not in Sundren City. Famous for its art, music, and sculpture, Aquor boasts some of the most influential people in the entire valley making their homes within the beautiful town. To the north of the town, the Az'Gema Lake is a well known fishing spot that some of the older retirees spend most of their day at. It is also placed right next to the Floating Flagon, where the barkeep loves to tell all kinds of stories, and houses frequent story tellers within his tavern. The road up north into the Spine also starts from Aquor, so it would be wise to bring some warmer clothing.

To the West lies the Thayan Enclave. This entire area, from the gates inward, is considered Thayan land. It has proven to be an attractive spot for some of the local nobles, but other more common folk tend to avoid it. Aquor was after recently attacked by the Dark Advent and its vampires, massacring the town in what was known as the Night of Blood. The Thayan Enclave locked its gates shut, leaving the people outside to whatever fate lay in store for them. Naturally, the people are more mistrustful of the Enclave now and so tend to not go near it if at all possible.

Located next to the Enclave is the Temple of Sune. This temple was recently constructed by a Sunite group new to Sundren, and its priests welcome all who worship beauty into its hallowed halls. The wealthy inhabitants of Aquor helped fund the temple's construction, and frequent the church when they can. The Sunites are known for their generosity and beauty, and are well liked by the other inhabitants of the town.

The Kurz Cartel has been known to inhabit the town as well. Underworld elements are only whispered about in the town, but it is well known that the Cartel runs smuggling through the small city despite the efforts of the Legion. In fact, there are rumors that the Legion is involved in some of the smuggling themselves, accepting bribes and cuts in turn for their silence. Rumor also has it that there is a road up to the Spine that leads to further Cartel activites, whether one wants in on the action or to end it.

The Blackwood mercenary group also makes its base in Aquor. New to Sundren, this mercenary company is frequently hired by the Exigo Trading Company to protect their outposts and trading areas. Open to hiring by other organizations, the Blackwoods have a fierce reputation as being the best of the best. Well armored, well equipped, and well trained is the motto they profess to prospective clients.

Tailors and music shops are common in Aquor. One simply has to check their handy map in order to spot where they work, and the fine quality that they produce. The Enclave sells magical items to those they deem worthy, and perhaps some that are less than so.
