[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 5232466, member: 2012"] [B][U][SIZE=5]TANTUS (Cont.)[/SIZE][/U][/B] [SIZE=4][B][U]Return to Tantus[/U][/B][/SIZE] The city is awash with the smells of old money and the downtrodden who break their backs for those that control the urban sprawl's unlimited wealth. Its markets are an insanity of sound and color as the hard working hawkers ply their trade while keeping a wary eye out for thieves conducting their own craft. The docks are a hive of activity as ships come and go at all hours of the day as well as at night, clandestinely. Dockworkers unload the cargoes that the dockmasters log into their tomes and the hidden contraband that is smuggled into the city. This is Tantus. Its wealthy and powerful call it the Heart of Civilization and the Jewel of the Southern Seas; however, if it is a heart then it is broken and if it is a jewel then it is flawed. Crime rules the city's streets and corruption rules its highborn. Some say the city is cursed and will one day be flung into the Nine Hells by the Gods for the many crimes its citizens have commited in the name of evil forces best left unnamed. Yet, there is hope for Tantus. Heroes come from all over Tarras. They come for the hope of finding fame and prestige, but they also come to help try to purge Tantus of the great evil that infects the city's soul. For it is believed that the city's destiny is the world's destiny. If Tantus falls into the Hells, it will drag all of Tarras with it. Therefore, Tantus is often the battleground between the forces of good and evil. And, sometimes, a hero's allies change from day-to-day as the city's powerful guilds and noble families twist the city's complex policies and taboos in order to advance their own corrupt agendas. Heroes face an upward battle in the race to save Tantus, no, the whole world from damnation. They can only count on their companions and the few believers who fight to save Tarras, a world most believe is destined for destruction. Destiny! It is the unyielding force that drives and shapes Tantus! [/QUOTE]
