City of Perstrona

Based on information found in the Venârivè Almanac: Karéjia by Keléstia Productions Ltd.

The monumental statue of the great hero Tacines dominated the southern road to the city. This attracts many pilgrims and tourists.

The city is growing, but many of the ruling elite yearn for the return of an Azeryani administration.

Government

Perstrona is governed by a strong Supreme Archon supported by a legislative council of 10 Archons. An Assembly of landowners and merchants votes in the Supreme Archon and Archons. Each serves a 1-year term, which cannot be consecutive. 

Religion

The city has temples to all the major legal gods except for Morgath; however, the worship of Varani is dominant, and the nearby mausoleum of the sainted hero Tacines attracts a large number of pilgrims.

Infrastructure

Mausoleum of Tacines

Located outside the city, this grand mausoleum is believed to contain the remains of a legendary hero, Tacines. A huge 30ft tall, exquisitely carved marble statue of Tacines, a Varanian saint credited with slaying several dangerous Aegesir, stands with a spear and shield in hand. His actual spear, shield, and battle horn are displayed at the adjacent temple.

The Serolan of the temple, Laena el Peridas, is extremely proud of her temple's new relic, the revered Horn of Tacines.
