Welcome to the Vigilants. You are one of the thousands of people living in the imperial capital of Sentra, the jewel of the Empire. 

For some of you, this is home—a comfortable and familiar place you've known your entire life.  For others, the city may only be a brief stop, perhaps one of many in your travels.  But regardless of how you came here, you share the same streets.

Depending on who you are—and where you live—Sentra can be a beautiful city of wonder and splendor. Yet that perfect city is only what many people see on the surface.  There are those that understand there is more to the city, that there are flaws in it that run deeper than what most will see.  There are those that know what lies beneath.

The Story

Niman Agerson

Niman was a student studying theoretical thaumaturgy at Pallida University. Originally from Seidland, he was granted a scholarship granted by one of the foundations of House Fournius. He has no family in the city.

He died from an acute case of Arcstone poisoning, which should not have been possible given his circumstances. An autopsy revealed that his internal anatomy was mirrored.

Renatus Hall

Renatus is home to the School of Arcane Theory and Application at Pallida University.

Faculty offices, study rooms, and collaboration spaces are on the third floor. The second and first floor are classrooms, with one larger auditorium-style lecture hall on the first floor. The basement houses the workshops and laboratories. There is a service/freight levitator connecting the floors, as well as a staircase near the center of the building.

Singers

The Singers were mentioned by Mordenkai, who called himself a former Listener of theirs. He says that they would speak to him, a chorus of voices, and tell him what to do. They extended his lifespan, and may have given him other supernatural powers as well. He does not remember the things that he was asked to do, but seemed to grow fearful.

The latest Listener is unknown, but Mordenkai believed that they are currently in the city of Sentra. Cephius er'Ceasian may have been that Listener.

The Singers match dark tales of elvish bogeymen called ustasi duyarti (which roughly translates to "puppet master"). They sang to their victims to force them to do things against their will.

Random Spotlights

Keep of Order

In the middle of the River Oenus sits the imposing prison maintained by the Vigilants.  The island itself was created by the Vigilants to make it as secure as possible with not only physical protections, but magical ones as well.  The Keep is warded against magical forms of travel, so the island is only accessible by boat.  Although there are Vigilants stationed through the city of Sentra, many of them live and train here.

Allan

Allan is an old friend of Kennick. They served Lakasis together, and when Kennick left to join The Solari, Allan stayed, and the two had not kept in touch.

Hearing the news of the play about Solarian at the Gilded Stage, Allan began thinking again about his friend Kennick and the Solari. He spent the next few weeks fasting, hoping to find answers from Lakasis. He received an answer, but not what he was expecting. He was led to a young Caithan named Kith that shows a divine gift in music. Allan has promised Kennick and his friends to introduce Kith.

Guild of Esoteric Starlight

The Guild of Esoteric Starlight emerged in a form of rebellion against the strict rules of the Assembly of the Most Learned. The Guild of Starlight has always been a dynamic and energetic organization, willing to bend rules and push boundaries. The circle stood alongside the Assembly in conflicts against the orcs, but in general the members of the Guild consider the Assembly wizards to be pretentious stuffed robes. Members of the two circles often quarrel, and mystical duels are not uncommon.

The racial makeup of the Guild is dominantly human, but there are a noticeable amount of non-humans in the group.
