Noctis Licentia
Nobody is quite certain when this city emerged, though scholars believe it was a few hundred years after the Sundering, when so many in these lands were suffering. A city located at the north end of the corrupted section of this region, it is a place of uneasy tranquility in a land wrought full of danger. The Sun is perpetually obscured by thick clouds over the city, and most occupants are a shade more pale than the rest of their races. The population of this city consists of ordinary humanoids, primarily Humans, Halflings and Gnomes; however, a fair number of the other sentient races are present. It is ruled by Vis'kali Aramont, also known as the "Lord in Silver", a vampire of unimaginable power. He has been ruling for many thousands of years. He is known to protect his vassals with extreme ferocity, never endangering their wellbeing for any reason. The laws of the land clearly favor the living, and it appears to be ruled quite fairly. While the populace is terrified of their ruler, they also adore him at the same time, as he is proof that undead are not malevolent by nature. He is known to take audience with outsiders, as well, occasionally assisting with their plights.
The law of this land is the punishment fits the crime. A thief loses a hand, a murderer loses his life, and so on. This eye-for-an-eye style of law has been known since ancient times as "law of the night", as this set a very brutal cost for breaking any law. The local law enforcement is known as the "Silver Knights".
