Delornen’s seat of power is the small government town of Wyllea, where Founder Neelani, the leader of this land, resides in her palace. The leader of Delornen is chosen by Erathis, who sends visions to the chosen leader.
Although Wyllea is the government seat, the real power and wealth is in Relkingham, a port town that sides on a land bridge between two large continents. The Founder announced that Erathis wishes to impose a sacrifice tariff. This tariff would require that those wishing to cross the land bridge must make a sacrifice. Smaller groups, or those sending small contingents, are expected to sacrifice the hands or eyes of those who cross. Larger groups with bigger stakes must bring human sacrifices to the temple of Erathis. Many are skeptical of this because of the peace-loving nature of Erathis, but no one wants to argue with the holiest person in the land.
Unsurprisingly, the announcement of this policy has sent ripples through the easygoing and decadent port town of Relkingham. The citizens have already sent one group to Founder Neelani that attempted to express their distaste for this policy. Found Neelani said she would consider the request, but it has been a month and she has not sent word of her ruling.
In the time since the announcement, increasing reports of brigands and Vecnite cult activities have come to light. Citizens have trickled into town missing eyes and hands, unable to speak of what happened to them. Becoming nervous, Mayor Joren and Relkingham has asked to meet with your group to discuss the situation.
