WIEGAS (wie-gas)

Overview


Wiegas is one of the oldest settlements in the nation of Sarton, emerging as one of the very first Sarton cities. An hundred years after the capital city of Shaulen was built, another city was built by the Sarton in order to expand the Kingdom. This city would be called Wiegas, named after the founder of the city. Sometime after its construction, a group of influential Sarton magi began to gain power in Wiegas. Initially starting as a local society of magi, they would soon gain complete control over Wiegas turning it into a center of power for them. Wiegas has managed to stand for nearly a thousand years, becoming a long-lasting symbol of the power of the Sarton Magi.

Demographics

The primary inhabitants of Wiegas are the members of the Sarton magi, who control everything within the city. Commerce & foreign people are allowed in the city, but are carefully watched by the Sarton magi and their enforcers. Interestingly, no one from the Pharas people are allowed anywhere near the city due to the great mistrusts that the Sarton magi have for them.

Defences

The defenses of Wiegas consist of the fearsome Sarton battlemagi, who form the fighting arm of the Sarton magi. They maintain the magical defenses of the city, and handle any external threats that Wiegas may face. The defenses consists from magical wards that span the entire length of the city, requiring a lot of power to use and maintain. There are also the Sarton Inquirers, who specialize in investigate cases in Wiegas. They work along the Battlemagi to solve problems within the city.
