Government

First Light is a popper empire town through and through, lead by Arendale Brightson a Wojeki chieftain apointed by High Lord Exurak for his contributions to the empire during the War of the Tides. They pay taxes to the Holy Trynnien Empire  and the Church of the Light directly. The worship of traditional spirits is outlawed here and punished more severely than other settlements.

Defences

The town is surrounded by a ditch and palisades. 37 trained warriors serve in the town's defense, and a militia of 452 can be mustered in case of attack.

Industry & Trade

The town does not have any major exports and exists as a religious hub built to progress the Church of Light into Wojeki tribal lands. They import goods from all over the world, including ore, stone, meats, seafood, and grains. Some individuals of Wojeki heritage keep small gardens on their property.

Infrastructure

Built to model the great cities of Trynn and Trinata to the Wojeki people, First Light is built with all the amenities a modern construction of the empire can afford, sewage, glass, paved roads, grand buildings with domed ceilings and designated check points for travelers and merchants entering and leaving the city. Though due to being inland, the city relies on the ever-growing port of Rosstawa Landing to receive its supplies.

History

Frist light was built 68 years ago after the War of the Tides concluded with the betrayal of Arendale Brightson's father the former chieftain of the Kirit. A Trynnien stronghold in the region First Light serves as a religious outpost first and a contributing city 2nd. As long as the worship of the Wojeki Chosen is suppressed the empire is happy with the Meger economic output of the town. Often First Light is the target of vandalism and petty crime committed by the devout followers who refuse to cease worship of the chosen spirits. Many elder Wojeki see First light and Brightson as constant reminders of the twisted laws of the Empire.

Points of interest

  • The Church of Light here doubles as a public punishment house to remind the Wojeki what happens to those still following the old ways.

Architecture

The town follows traditional Holy Trynnien Empire building codes and philosophy, often built with white or gray stone with red or orange tiled roofs.

Geography

A few days from the coast places First Light away from the ocean views many other villages and town enjoy. Surrounded by forests on 3 sides the town is the end point of the main road that passes through the tribal lands. A few small streams feed the town fresh water as runoff from the Vaulted Highlands.

Natural Resources

First light is built to take advantage of religious influence of the empire and provides few natural resources to the empire.
