Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jarval" data-source="post: 1449895" data-attributes="member: 421">I've just e-mailed you another couple of maps.  Here's a bit more information on the two cities Brystasia might currently be in.Marlock City:Marlock City is a huge sprawling metropolis, enclosed in a fortified wall said to have been built one thousand years ago by the ancient Shadar empire. It is the capital city of Sokara. Marlock City was once known as Sokar, until General Grieve Marlock led the army in bloody revolt against the old king, Corin VII, and had him executed. The general renamed the city after himself -it is now a crime to call it Sokar.The general lives in the old king's palace, and calls himself the Protector-Getieral of all Sokara. Whereas the old king was corrupt, the general rules with a fist of iron. Some people like the new regime; others are royalists, still loyal to Nergan, the heir to the throne, who has gone into hiding somewhere.Yellowport:Yellowport is the second largest city in Sokara.  It is mainly a trading town, and is known for its exotic goods from distant Ankon-Konu.The Stinking River brings rich deposits of sulphur from the Lake of the Sea Dragon down to the town, where it is extracted and stored in the large waterfront warehouses run by the merchants' guild. From here, the mineral is exported all over Harkuna.  Unfortunately, all that sulphur has its drawbacks.  The stink is abominable, and much of the city has a yellowish hue.  The river is so full of sulphur that it is virtually useless as a source of food or of drinking water.  However, the demand for sulphur, especially from the sorcerous guilds, is great.Politically, much has changed in the past few years.  The old and corrupt king of Sokara, Corin VII, has been deposed and executed in a military coup.  General Grieve Marlock and the army now control Sokara.  The old Council of Yellowport has been 'indefinitely dissolved' and a provost marshal, Marloes Marlock, the general's brother, appointed as military governor of the town.</blockquote>
