Odret

• It is on the south easternmost corner of the continent and the capital of Noctre.

• A colorful city of mostly cheerful people. It's picturesque in its vibrancy and diverse beliefs and culture. Despite Noctre having a bad reputation, Odret is known to be a nice place to visit.

• This does not mean it is safe. Although its inhabitants are welcoming and overly friendly to strangers, there is an air of fear in the air.

• People sometimes disappear. It just happens. Such is the way of life. Some say it's a serial killer, but most know it's the temple of Woqueren needing blood sacrifices to their god of death.

• Other than the disappearances, the food is varied, and the music scene is widely acknowledged to be the best in the world. Musicians from all over come to learn from the masters. Odret produces many bards.

• Frequent festivals for the arts litter the calendar.

• The path to Odret is lined with statues holding lanterns.

History

• Was once a haven for pirates, it went on the "straight and narrow" after cultists moved in and took over. They settled there and tried to convert the pirates, and when the pirates didn't appreciate it, the cultists wiped most of them out and chased out the rest. Eventually, others came and settled that were not followers of Woqueren, and they outnumbered the cultists. Eventually, the town became the largest city in Noctre and a powerhouse of trade and education.
