Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 4294754" data-attributes="member: 2012">Unfortunately for Korvosa, the Wild Shores isn't known for having the most fertile soil. Think sandy shores and untamed savannas. The surrounding townships do grow their own food (i.e. squash and other roots vegetables), but they mostly live on a diet of fish and less than exotic seafood. Also, the fishermen of the Wild Towns have been known to do some pirating on the side.Korvosa has managed to tame "some" of the land surrounding the city-state, but they have survived more through alliances with other city-states and lands as well as by forcing the Wild Towns to pay tribute with foodstuffs to keep Korvosa from annexing them. For, while the Wild Towns have a good number of ships they don't have much of a land-based military. If they don't pay the tribute, then Korvosa threatens to march its military might against them.In truth, it's a hollow threat as Korvosa is too busy defending itself from the unending undead of the haunted ruins of Hathenmoor. The undead of Hathenmoor come out at night, every night, and stalk the land looking for living flesh, blood, and soul to slake their undying hunger. Korvosa's magical might keeps it safe, but they've lost many to the horrors of the denizens of that ruin.One might think they are paying for past sins. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />King Eodred Arabasti II rules the duplicated city-state but he has to share power with his wife who is reviled by Korvosans. Korvosans can often be heard to say, "Why couldn't the mists have taken her to oblivion too?" Regardless, she has a great deal of influence in the city, which is countered by Seneschal Neolandus Kalepopolis. This man has become a hero in the city very quickly. He may not be as good a warrior as Field Marshal Cressida Kroft or Commandant Marcus Thalassinus Endrin, but he has gained the respect of both the nobility and the average citizen through his actions during and after The Chaos.So, what will happen next in Korvosa? Well, most think that the worst is over and that, eventually, the city-state will rise to power in the lands of the Wild Shores. After all, they did it on Golarion, so why not here?</blockquote>
