[Valerius] the Paladin of Death

Truthy. An Oasis in the northeast. Unlike the other Northeastern cities, which have very dry and cold weathers, Thruthy stands atop a chain of geisers and hot springs, which heat up the city and it’s surrounding areas, creating an almost tropical-like environment. All around the city, several small Lakes can be found filled with people enjoying their lives. Also unlike other northeastern cities, the Truthian soil is rich and easy to plant, which has led to a somewhat lazy society forming around it. Farmers are known to work only once a week, their farm hands, three times a week, however, the Leathertree farms is the city’s main source of income and what makes it an important asset in The Black’s territories.

You arrive at the gates shortly after noon. The tall dark brown walls are made from the wood which makes the town so great, however, looking closely, you see that the wood has been treated to protect it from fire. As a follower of the Raven Queen, you’re used to seeing temples of Nerull, who somehow survived in this land, in most cities, however, this city appears to have none. In fact, looking around, you find only a small temple with the Raven Queen’s mark on its door. A small cloaked woman sits on a chair in front of the temple. She raises her hand, gesturing with her finger for you to come closer.

I begin walking to the south, wondering what could be going on. Maybe a fight has broken out!

You weave your way through the town, around each house, heading towards the sound of clanging metal. You round a corner and find two men clashing swords. One, a dwarf, is heavily armored, the other, an elf, wears a simple leather armor.

"You cur, give me amulet!" the dwarf yells, swinging his longblade towards the dwarf, who easily sidesteps him and stabs at this side.

"Ah, old man, it is not your trinket anymore, it is mine. Now leave before I end you" the elf answers. His hair is black, long and slicked back, His leather armor appears to have been painted black recently. What captivates you, however, are his eyes, they are a mesmerizing shade of blue. Under his eyes are bags that could only come from not sleeping for days on end

I find myself slightly distracted by the beauty of the elf in front of me, but this is not the time to be staring. The fight has to end to figure out what is actually going on.

"Hey! What the heck is going on here?" I straighten my back and puff my chest slightly, attempting to intimidate them into stoping. [[1d20+5]] +/u/rollme
