Trebes
The city of Trebes is the capital and, for that matter, the only city of any real significance in the entire province of Cerediun, the largely-neglected southernmost province of the Kingdom of Foere. Once a Hyperborean garrison built to help contain the Heldring, the city surrendered to the advancing Foerdewaith in 2748 I.R., bringing the remainder of the province with them.
In the following years, Trebes was fortified and built up by the overking, and the massive Heldenheight Citadel was home to hundreds — and in times of crisis, thousands — of Foerdewaith soldiers. Times change, of course, and today with the great Kingdom of Foere in decline, Trebes stands as a tribute to the faded glories of two empires.
Well-situated on a large island in the middle of the small lake of Piorvorun, Trebes is surrounded by rolling, fertile plains dotted with numerous villages. Trebes’ old fortifications, from the days when the province was wracked with warfare, still stand, but are in poor repair — a faint echo of the city’s past as a military citadel in its new role as a center of commerce. The lord-governor no longer holds court in the Citadel of Heldenheight and now occupies a palace in the city center rather than the cold fortress that rises above the city’s peaked rooftops. Merchants from many lands pass through Trebes’ markets, buying and selling in the many pleasant wine-plazas that one finds everywhere in the city, even in unexpected and out-of-the-way locations.
