The Sisters

Seedy port city on the Southern Coast of Capellia, the Sisters are split down the middle. To the east, the powerful and wealthy live a life of luxury, while those in the west struggle with immense, crippling poverty. The Sisters are a hub for shipping and traveling throughout the continent and has been ruled by the de Waardenburg family for millennia. The recent exposure of the late Duke Stefan de Waardenburg as a worshipper of the fallen god Talos may threaten that rule.
