Vos Aren

Buried in ash

This article is a stub. Please comment if you would like it to become a priority for expansion.
  Vos Aren is the capital city of Moragul on the continent of Sarsand - or, at least, it was until about six months ago, when Mount Vatra erupted and wiped out the settlement and much of the surrounding area. It was the home of those known as the Vos Areni. Those few who survived the disaster have fled east, and scavengers have descended on the ruins, picking through them for left behind treasures.   As of now, the city is partially buried under rock and ash, the remains of the devasting pyroclastic flow that swept through its streets.

With the capital wiped out, that leaves a power vacuum in Moragul - what's rushing in to fill it?

There is currently a civil war in Moragul, with the biggest cities vying for control - especially as it is believed the royal family was also wiped out in the eruption.

I hope we learn more about this volcano. It must have been dormant for such a long time to have wiped out a capital city? Will the surviving Vos Areni build a new city on top of the old one or start new lives in other cities? It's sad and brings back memories of an exhibition about Pompeii and Herculaneum.

They are currently wandering, though I think some will return one day. Pompeii and Herculaneum always make me sad.
