Delmer
The city of Delmer, the core of the Kingdom of Zaron magical power, the home thirty-one thousand people, located in the Riftane Pass in the central part of Darst.
The red waters splash along the docks as the sun rises in the north over the city where the Arcana Scriptorium stands, the mages and students filing into the labyrinthine pathways between the bookshelves. The air is filled with the smell of paper and inks. As the sun reaches its zenith, various members leave the building.
The streets are paved with mosaics, each displaying the history of Darst displayed in magnificent colours and detail. Every day masons, artist and mages, work upon these paths. Walking down the mosaics, they flow about showing the paths of history and time. Messages are said to be hidden among the images, the future is also said to be hidden in the pathways.
The buildings are all tall and stand tall above the pathways, inlaid with shards of arcane that glow and form networks of magical energy around the city, delivering magical energy to homes and for lighting the shard lamps in the streets.
And as the sun dips under the horizon south, the purple shards flare yellow as the magical network flares up. The soft yellow glow lights up the streets and the mages and townsfolk alike walk the streets heading to inns and taverns for late night drinks and meals.
Not soon after the city sleeps and the only lights are that of the Arcana Scriptorium, it's mages and students busy at work on their papers and research.
Welcome to Delmer, the city of knowledge and magic, of the Kingdom of Zaron by the power of the Zaronian Crown .
