General Information

A city-state on the eastern coast of Adelan, the City of Stars is the holy city of the Church of the Astral Gods, and as such, it is populated by many worshippers and home to many of the continent's powerful mages, and even more of the weaker mages. As a coastal city-state, there are various trade routes available. Between trading with the villages and towns within its territory and trading by sea with other coastal cities, the city is quite profitable. With the numerous mages in the city, many individuals provide services related to the usage of magic. These services are one of the major reasons that the city is so profitable, particularly enchanting. With the majority of the continent's mage population located in the City of Stars, there is a serious lack of enchanters in other regions, granting a near monopoly over the trade to the city.

Theocratic Rule

The City of Stars is ruled by the Church, which means more precisely that it is ruled by the mages. The city is far more welcoming of mages, treating them as the true denizens of the city while non-magic individuals are treated as lower-class citizens. However, the majority of individuals are complacent, thanks to their belief that mages are the Astral Gods' chosen few. With such faithful citizens, the Church's authority is all but set in stone.

Geography & Resources

Built on the plains of the eastern shore of Adelan, the City of Stars spans along the rocky and sandy coastline. To the south-west of the city is the lake from which the city obtains fresh water, as well as a massive forest, which serves as the primary source of wood and logs for the city. Other resources include the animals that roam the plains and forest, which serve as one of the food sources for the denizens. Other food sources include fish from both the lake and ocean, as well as the plants grown with the influence of Astral Energy.
