Deluge

the Resilient Town

Deluge is a small town on the southeastern side of Oberun's Isle, in Tobia's Gulf of Tinjir, on the major continent of Ethae. The town is situated at the mouth of a shallow water cove. This cove not only gives the town some protection, but it also provides it with the only access to the sea for boats on the otherwise cliff lined coast. The town is famous in legends, featuring in several of the most popular surviving tales of the Heroic Era. Its name is so connected to these ancient stories that many find it surprising to learn that it is a real town that can be visited in the modern day.

The town has been built and destroyed many times over the ages, sometimes from natural disasters, other times from war. In the end the people always rebuild, even if its generations later. The Deluge of today is built on the foundations of Lakortha ruins, which have even more ancient ruins below them. Its popularity in legend makes it a favorite location for would-be adventures to explore. Most find nothing left of value beyond local locations that can be traced back to ancient stories. Tales of surviving passages of ancient buildings below the town are still spread, though few claim to have found these or the catacombs claimed to be even deeper in the island's bedrock.
