Palavin

Vractis is major city within Palavin. It is an oasis in a desert full of brush, hills and cliffs. The city is relatively open air with the majority of defenses being out wider than the city limits. The city is mainly made up of sandstone mined in the nearby quarries. The people of Vractis were once sworn enemies to the kingdom but that was before they found more good in friendship than war. Those who started the city are a race of people who resemble birds but they are missing feathers. They are called Turians and they are quite fierce in battle. They have long been dealing with a population of Vorchni and creatures that threaten travelers, and resources. Palavin has probably the most pop up towns and small towns just because of their focus in digging for minerals and other valuables. People here likely distrust those in the kingdom and won’t want too much to do with you unless you bring them goods or money. Many battles have been fought against their people and every time they come out ahead. Their forces heavily contributed to the first conqueror's failure to finish off the rebel lords. Despite their mistrust of the kingdom, the discipline of their soldiers has been valuable to the training of the kingdom's new soldiers and the entire nation has learned a lot of warfare strategy from them. Along with the Vorchni threat, the area has many access points to the underdark and whatever lurks below.

(If you are coming from Palavin you would be a Turian or soldier who has trained here. If you are a Turian you would distrust anyone associated with the Kingdom. If you are a soldier you would have come from somewhere else. If you are to be a miner this would be a great place to be from.)
