[QUOTE="Dark Seraph, post: 3301666, member: 46995"] Rhiathon It is a mining town founded among the foothills of a vast northern mountain range. Its founding fathers were the original pioneering folks who discovered the first mines in these parts, harvesting thick veins of silver. Since then the settlement of a dozen wooden shacks has grown to a walled township. This is one of those places where a community of break-away hobgoblins have successfuly integrated with the local humans and dwarves over the last 5 decades. The current governor of Rhiathon, Jurat Walter Krakithikk, is the adopted human son of a hobgoblin pair who were unable to conceive their own. The nearby expanding kingdom of Ulthan has tried both peaceful and not-so peaceful means to bring Rhiathon into its fold and jurisdiction so as to gain direct access to much needed revenue from the town's rich mining resource. The town's hobgoblin population, a large section of which serve in the town's militia, have been useful in resisting Ulthan's aggressive efforts to date. It certainly simplifies Jurat Walter's options or the lack thereof when it is well known that the kingdom of Ulthan celebrates laws that openly persecute non-humans found within its borders, partcularly those they categorize as savage beastmen, a term they use in referring to hobgoblins. Adventurers bearing the arms of Ulthann have been seen close to and within the territorial borders of Rhiathon. The Jurat is concerned that this may have something to do with an old subterrannean temple complex that was discovered by accident by the miners of The Greyworm Mining Company last autumn. The site has been made off-limits, but word of it no doubt has spread via the traders that ply the main routes from and to Rhiathon. DS. [/QUOTE]
