Though the Realm of Lorian remains haggard and badly wounded from the battles of the previous age there are still the rare few locations of relative safety. These locations are great walled civilizations or 'Pillar Cities' and are the closest things to any sort of true reigning authority within Lorian. Historically these cities have been islands unto themselves, working alone to carve out a place of even minor safety amongst the landscape. However rumors have begone to spread that some of the leaders of these great cities may be in contact with one another though what this means for the state of the world remains to be seen.
