THE FOUNDING OF TRIMONT Trimont was fonded in the year 157 PA by Bavel Ditsk (a pirate captain who eventually became High Priest of the Marean Church).

THE MAREAN CHURCH

The Marean Church finds its organizational roots in the city of Trimont as it was founded at the same time as the city by Bavel Ditsk. The religion was outlawed for years after the Batryan revolution but was legalized again by King Romuth Batrya.

CRIME SYNDICATES

There are two prominant crime syndicates.
The Charbrawlers: A group of commoners who set up a gang in the southwestern slums. They fight with the Ravenskulls for territory. The Ravenskulls are stationed in the southeastern slums of Trimont.

DESCRIPTION

Trimont is capitol city of The Kingdom of Batrya and lies in the northern regions of the nation. It is known for its incredibly beautiful architecture. Built in the gothic style, the city has remarkable verticality. Spires and flying buttresses shoot upward from all sides as one walks the streets of this metropolis. The Marean Church finds its historical roots in the city and many old cathedrals can be found here. While ceremonies are still held regularly, the church is far from popular because of The Marean Theocracy (a time in the past where Batrya was ruled by theocratic dictators). The crown has decreed the legality of Marean religious practice however, and thus ceremonies are permitted. The religion has also changed large amounts of its belief and dogma and is no longer an accurate representation of what the theocracy was. This truth is not understood by many however, and practitioners are often persecuted.
