Tilhal (city)
"Bunch of fanatic fools the whole lot of them. But they are fools with influence, power and a big army. So you don't tell it straight to their faces. Nor anywhere near their place. They are dangerous, I tell you, much more dangerous than you'd expect. All it needs is to one of them claim that he had a dream of burning the heatens, and very soon whole Marghuin is in flames."
