Cerrivane (Sery-vain)
The Seat of House Cerroni
"...Oh its a bastion-city alright - bastion of evil and hate that is! Its no rumor that House Cerroni is just about the worst you can be. All that talk about madness and cruelty? Well, how about this: Cerrivane has no crime rate. Strange right? That's because whenever someone commits a crime and gets caught - no matter how small - they get thrown on a bus and shipped to a training camp in the middle of the Sansurath, where they barely train you, strap some explosives to you, and say, 'Off ya get!' And that's not even the worst of it! I heard that if you commit some really bad crime - like murder, or treason - they make you into a Cyborg forcefully. No wonder the Belrithians would rather die than be captured..."
Cerrivane was the capital city of the Cerroni controlled region along the western coast of Tyrralore. It was the seat of power from which House Cerroni controls its forces and inhabitants. It had often been referred to as "the seat of evil," due to the countless crimes against humanity that the Cerronies - the ruling body of Cerrivane - had committed throughout the Tyrralorean Civil War against its own people, in addition to any prisoners of war they managed to capture.
Cerrivane was often described as "the closest you can get to Hell without actually being there." Aside from the obvious reference to House Cerroni's enormous amount of human rights violations, there also existed a disproportionate number of Doeveiga within the city's walls - seemingly as a result of the abject cruelty of those in power there.
Although the city had at one time stood as a bastion of protection for its many inhabitants, the corruption at its heart as a result of the War resulted in far too much slaughter to be spared, and the city was razed to the ground after the ruling house refused to accept and ratify the Four House Treaty, which finally brought the conflict to its tentative end. The ruins of this once great city now stand as a reminder of the unceasing cavalcade of madness that once stemmed from this place, and all the lives that were destroyed because of it.
"I bet the place is haunted now. If you plan on going to the memorial outside the ruins - make sure you go no further. Not unless you want to get the soul sucked out of you by ghosts, demons, monsters, or some rogue experiments wandering around in there..."
