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 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

Dwarven Entente

Beneath the snowy tops of the Silvertooth Mountains rests the home of the Dwarven Entente. Very little is known about this underground home, but rumors abound that it reaches deep.  Over land, the Dwarves claim all land east from the mountains to the Azure Sea.

Although dwarves are clearly the ruling class of the Entente, there are several other known races that also live within the nation, such as Troglodytes.

Akkad

A vile mage that created a vast undead army, including raising a dragon from the dead. He laid waste to several towns, including nearly wiping Baron's City. With every town and village his army reached, he added their slaughtered populace to the ranks of his army.

He encroached into the borders of the Sentran Empire before being stopped by brave group of heroes, notably the Lakasisan Solarian, who gave his life in order to finally defeated the necromancer.

Imperial Historians' Society

The Imperial Historians' Society is a collection of historians, researchers, and archivists selected to represent the Sentran Empire.

As an official Imperial organization, members that write or disseminate information that speaks against the Empire, such as the late orcish historian Hakur, are typically removed from the Society. Although in Hakur's case he was later reinstated before his untimely death.
