Ossmat

Description

The city of Ossmat is a small city set in Northern Beluaterra. It ekes out a modest living on trade and manufacture. It was founded centuries ago by Oss tribesmen and has changed hands several times since then. Despite its modest size it has a long and distinguished history as a capital for several realms.

Ossmat is dominated by the Imperial Grehkian Palace, which was built in the days of the Pomp of the Old Grehkian Empire, when Old Grehk ruled half the north. It is a massive complex where the Royal court and the Imperial government resided. Since the administration of current day Grehkia is so much reduced from its Imperial past, most of the palace serves nowadays as parks, museums and banquet halls for the amusement of visitors and the gentry, but a secure section is still kept for the administration and the residences of top realm officials.

The Imperial Grehkian Palace is set on a large rocky hill defended by strong walls. The hill beneath the palace is said to be a holy place, or maybe a damned place, and is honeycombed with ancient tunnels which provide a fertile hunting ground for adventurers. It is said that beneath the hill is a chamber containing a dead god's footprints. It is also said that the vampires defeated in the reign of terror were never truly vanquished but merely withdrew to these tunnels. Many things are said. I know nothing.

This is built in remembrance of the great friendship between the humans of the Shattered Vales and the daimons of the Exiled Trinity.

Here, in this city, humanity and Daimon kind did what had never been done before.  Instead of fighting, we came together in peace to live in peace, side by side.

Through this cooperation and this construction, the humans of Ossmat and Daimon kind have agreed to work together to help us return home to deal with the great enemy that looms over there.

May the friendship and amity between our realms never grow cold.
