Vale

Small town on the mistral lake. South of Versoth. The 'hub' for most adventures. Notable for the single tall tower in the middle of the town and for the Scutum - A magical shield preventing any harm to anyone in the town. You can't hurt anyone, you can steal from anyone or do damage to property. You can trick someone into giving something to you though.

Sidge, Human, Male, Old. The Headmaster


 * Level 30 Wizard.
 * The stress of creating the Sanctum was so great that it inflicted mental damage and dementia to sidge.
 * For a very long time he was a bobling fool going around town and being taken care of as a thank you.


 * As the tower grew higher he regained more of his previous self. A few month ago, he recovered enough to remember that he has hid something as a plan B in such case (He didn't remember what, just that it was important). He sent a group of adventures to recover the item and they did. A Sphere of Memories that - in a painful process - restored his consciousness.
 * Currently uses his power to keep the peace in the city. He is benevolent but over his long.. long.. long.. life he learned that solving other's problems would not help them grow.
 * That being said, he views himself as protector of vale and the leylines in Alantar. And would take a stance if he'll feel a major threat.
 * Does not care about policies and very very rarely leaves Vale.
