Paraten

Paraten

Type: Town
Location: Miltan
Current Mayor: Rendall of House Sholken

Demographics

The people of Paraten are rather insular. Anything even slightly different is cause for alarm.

Industry & Trade

It has a few bakeries, at least one eating establishment of some sort, and a seamstress.
The town's lamps are lit by hand instead of with magic as they are elsewhere in the Alliance.

Assets

There is a valuable statue of one of the Founders of the Soulforge Alliance stored in the library: Mithralyu of House Tarniken. It's a copy of the original, the one that sits in the Hall of Warriors in the Aurora Palace, but the armor it wears is authentic, having once been worn by her. It's the set she died in.

Guilds and Factions

Order of the Rose
Lamplighters Guild

History

A posting to the city of Paraten is often viewed as a joke as well as a very sadistic form of punishment. Magic is highly restricted due to its proximity to the Forbidden Lands, but each member of the Order is required to practice at least the words and methods of magic daily.

Architecture

Each house on this street is identical, with white stone walls and red tiled roofs. There are few decorations on the outside of the houses and those are limited to a few flower beds and pots of herbs that can be brewed into teas or ground up for their medicinal properties. The cobblestone streets are swept clean of any refuse. Gutters on both sides of the road carry wastewater through the city. The city itself is laid out in a circular pattern.

It hasn’t expanded much past its original walls.

The Order of the Rose has a branch in the center of town, located near the library.
