The village of Trela is a small village along the river that runs from the large lake in the middle of the Kelders and into King Virduk’s lands, forming the eastern border of New Venir, the western border of Lageni until it empties into Lake Vashon in Calastia.
Trela was founded in response to the number of trading caravans coming from Vesh seeking to use it as a jump-off point for continued travel into Calastia or east along the New Venir border towards the city-states and nations of the west.
Noted townspeople include: Paransala, the only wizard of note in Trela; Phuram Dayal, the River-Master/Mayor; Radraan of Belsameth, keeper of the Midnight Shrine; Jonegar, captain of Trela’s militia force, the Riverguard; and Talbot Cormath, the town bard.
Places of note include: the Riverhouse, large dockside offices and warehouses of the River-Master and is also used as a town center and meeting hall; the Midnight Shrine, small windowless building houses the town’s only altar which is dedicated to Belsameth.
We open on our heroes during a town festival. Not only is the celebration a commeration of the Carnival of Flowers, it is also in honor of our heroes success in stopping the Slitheren raids that for so long plagued this little hamlet.
The events for the day include many different games of skill including a footrace, archery, a melee competition using bamboo rods as swords, a horse race, and a bardic competition, The evening culminates with music, dancing, and a huge feast.
As you walk around, enjoying the time to relax, watching (or participating in) the games, townsfolk express their appreciation for your help. Thanks to you, these people can go back to their relatively normal lives of farming, blacksmithing, and supporting the trading caravans, no longer living in fear or poverty. You have given these people hope and joy, a precious gift in these troubled times.

Aerin is most definately interested in the Archery contest. "Elisia, do not fret. Give it a try. You will never know if you do not try. I am sure that there are better archers than myself here, but I would be remiss if I did not give it a go."

Aliana appears to be enjoying the festivities, gracefully and flirtaciously accepting what praise she recieves, but those who know her can see that her true thoughts are far away.
She still didn't quite understand why she had joined the group volunteering to help the village, she was saddened by the villagers plight, sure, but going from that to actually risking her life...
She had almost died, she had felt the claws and fangs of the beast in her own flesh, ripping her apart. The pain had been incredible and only the blessing of the Goddess had kept her in this world. What had made her take that risk? Surely not merely her faith in Enkili, though the desires of her Goddess were surely a part of the reason. Maybe the fact that she had little left to lose? Her noble status, her family and friends had all been lost before, all because of an illfated love-affair and a marriage she didn't want. She had been sleeping her way from town to town, bed to bed, to keep up the lavish lifestyle she was used to and to try to forget. Until the Goddess had appeared before her, turning bitter lies and seduction into pleasures once again. She had enjoyed the life as a filanderer after that but perhaps not as much as she had believed. And yet she was still doing it even now if only to amuse herself, with a kiss and a touch.

Aerin will walk amongst the crowd, noting where the Archery competition will take place. He will stop occaisionally and chat with the merchants and people who are here, eventually buying an ale if available and some sweets to nibble on. He will be noting what is going on around him, looking for anything interesting that might catch his eye.

OOC: We're waiting for Acmite to post. He's been a bit busy in the real world lately. If we don't hear anything by Monday, we'll continue and he can jump in later.
