Vallaghero

Built along Lake Croytos, this city used to be the capital of Khavica. It now serves as a resort city, offering beautiful and luxurious places for wealthy merchants who are looking to have a respite from the big city. However, visitors who visit it shouldn't be so foolish as to let their gaurd down, as there is still plenty of skullduggery within the city.

Assets

With very few exceptions, nearly anything a person could want can be purchased in the numerous shops, festhalls, and resorts. There are over 1,000 taverns, 400 festhalls, 750 inns, and over a dozen upscale resorts.

Guilds and Factions

The Eye control the myriad small gangs that operate in this city. While temples exist to nearly every deity of Vuria, only The Lightmaiden, The Lady of Fortune, and the shrine of The Scourge entertain a large number of followers today.

History

Founded shortly before the fall of the Mardin Empire, Vallaghero became the capital of the newly formed Kingdom of Khavica, chosen for its beautiful locale as much as its distance from the Rakshasa to the south.
