Tedwen

Tedwen controls the southern trade routes between the Talinian Ocean and the Vitran Sea, making it a key stop for maritime traffic that skirts around the Bluestar Peninsula.

It is one of three cities on Bluestar Lake, contributing the "snake" portion of the FTS" acronym. It holds the distinction of being the southernmost city in the Sovranty of Lozar.

The Molting of Tedwen

Before the Pax Lozaria, Tedwen was the heart of a yuan-ti empire that controlled Bluestar and vied with the Tridensers for control of the greater Peninsula of Lozar. Over the centuries, the stepped pyramids of Tedwen were a breeding ground for serpent cults and psychic overlords. Whenever they became too ambitious, the armored Tridenser legions would raze the city, again and again.

Every time, the yuan-ti survivors slithered back from the swamps, rebuilt their pyramids, and declared a new "molt". They would decorate the new buildings with their own molts and the flayed skins of their enemies. Then the cycle would repeat.

Eventually, the Lozarians defeated the cults and brought the peoples of Bluestar into the Kingdom of Lozar. Even now, whispers remain that the Primacy of Scales has a home in the Tedwen, the City of Ten Skins.

Before I had these wings, I was just another orphan on the shores of Bluestar Lake. I've watched Tedwen change, and most of it has been for the better. But I fear the worst of its old impulses aren't gone... only hidden.
