Session 18: Divided

The huge city of Chesed is the last port of call on the River Road for most pilgrims heading to the Mendevian Crusades before they reach their final destination of Mendev. It is the final port (or first depending on the direction of travel) along the length of the Sellen River, sitting where the river meets the Lake of Mists and Veils. Because it is so near the lake, the city is often shrouded by the fog. In addition to the mist, unregulated waste disposal into the lake has led to the waters up to a mile away from the city being highly toxic. Even to the point of creating ooze creatures due to combining with runoff from the Chymist's Ward.

  The city has a blend of alien technology as well as stark social inequality, resulting in peoples' perception of the city being very different depending on who you talk to. Some former crusaders have found their way here, spending their money on squalid gambling halls and old taverns while reflecting on the consequences of their wartime experiences.
