Torin

Back to The Kingdom of Sorlamir

Torin

Landholder: His Majesty, Algarren III, King of Sor'lamir.

Exports: Everything. Imports: Everything.

Home to the Royal Crown, the city of Torin rests upon the low mesas of the Iron Shoulder Mountains. The city itself is home to both the Royal Crown and the Council of Sorcerers. Torin is the center point for several major trade routes through the kingdom and much of the city lies behind the safety of a towering stone wall, and can be accessed by the Westgate, Southgate, or from the Docks. Each gate is of magnificent construction, displaying both the heraldry of Sorlamir and the current residing Knight-Captain.

The city is well guarded and patrolled by the Torin Guard, under the command of the Lord Marshal, second only to the King. Few guard patrols bother to uphold the King's laws within the Poor Quarter, a district of lower class homes and buildings outside the wall. In this region, crime often runs rampant and criminals are typically dealt with privately with a rough form of law. It is advised to avoid the many dark alleys of the Poor Quarter after the fall of night.

The city exports the food and grain it grows to some of the smaller settlements around it with its chief stock of excess foodstuffs finding their way to the port city of Calimoore to the east. Torin also receives imports from both Calimoore and other kingdoms though the price for these goods are typically far higher than their true value. There are many opportunities within Torin, whether it be a tradesmen, servant, scholar, priest, guard or criminal.

A temple dedicated to the first angel also lies within the city. The temple is funded by taxation and charity and is fully supported by both the Crown and the Council of Sorcerers. There is also rumored activity of Kokuathuans within the city, but if true, they are forced to live in secret. Worship of any demonic power within the city is proscribed and those found to be guilty of such an act will be burned at the stake.
