Cerelon

Cerelon was a somewhat insular community that is home to roughly 5,000 people overlooking the wilderness to the northwest of the Serpentine Ridge. Only one road, leading up from Crawls Passage and the Caravanserai, provided access in and out of the township. Named for the Wright whose efforts created Crawls Passage ~150 years ago and led to the settlement's founding, it was self-sufficient with trade primarily being a source of luxuries.

The Endoval Forest extends to the north and east, with Crawls Passage providing the only path southwest across the mountains into Lostrei. Caravans regularly travelled from Orcourt and Teulamis to trade for goods produced in Cerelon. The cities defences were frequently tested by raiding bands of Margr who strike out from the forest. The Ward Militia were usually able to effectively repel them, but a group of Margr lead by Ironhorn managed to breach the outer defenses and rampage through the Buckles District in 138 CF before they were successfully repelled.

Automatons were a common sight on the streets of Cerelon, with the Devotees of Erinai providing the technical know-how to create and repair them. Wealthier households generally had at least one for domestic chores, and industrial automatons could frequently be seen assisting with farming in the Tilled Mesa and in the factories of Cerelon.

In 152CF, the automatons turned upon their masters and the city fell. Some were slain and many were captured, and all who were not slain or captured fled.
