Kelrin
Blessed Be Those Who Bask in The Lantern's Light
Among all of the cities and settlements that have emerged since the turn of the age Kelrin has proven to be by far the most prosperous. Led by a figure known to outsiders as 'the Lord of Lanterns' the city of Kelrin is a place of beauty, art, and divine worship. Many would consider it to be the very soul of Lorian, a place where those who seek insight from the teachings of the Ascended or hold a desire to hone their creative Arts.To the east of the city lies Obali Lake and in it’s center the Emberhear Tower, rumored to be home of one of the few remaining Arch Mages from the Age of Ascension. Southward waits the Golden Foothills and the Goblin city of Skargmot. To the North West of the city looms Farlos Dal, the last great enchanted wood. Many believe that because of its proximity to the great forest that the soil in and around Kelrin is potent and rich with minerals and nutrients which in turn lead to a swift farming boom. While this great deal of farm land does expose Kelrin to a deal of danger in this yet untamed age the city's prevalence insures that there is always someone available to lend a helping hand, be that guardsmen or eager adventurer.
Little is known about the figure known as the Lord of Lanterns save for one defining story he shares with the founding of Kelrin itself. Near the end of the Age of Ascension when the land was more savage and unforgiving than even now Vornarek the Cinder’s Call, an old and powerful red dragon held the domain that would be Kelrin as it’s hunting ground. It is said that the Lord of Lanterns armed with the ascended artifact known as Myrith’s Torch single handedly slew the vile beast and used its horde to fund the founding of Kelrin. Though little else is known of him by outsiders those native to Kelrin sing nothing but high praise of their beloved leader. Even the Sea Reavers are pleased to make port in the harbors of Kelrin and enjoy the Lord's hospitality. So much so in fact that rumor has begun to spread that Lady Artress Larbrook, ruler of Greinstock, and commander of the Sea Reavers, has extended the beginnings of an olive branch to their sister city in the South lands. However this high opinion is not shared by all however as the Arclight Council of Dala'ros Lorethin refuse to so much as send a single ambassador to set foot in Kelrin to attempt to make contact with what would seem to be an obvious and powerful potential ally.
