The most powerful cleric in Korth is Prelate Alinda Roerith, unless a high priest of the Blood of Vol is in the city on some secret errand. Roerith remained in Korth throughout the Cyran siege in the early 970s YK, heedless of her own safety as she healed fallen defenders atop the walls. Accordingly, she’s one of the city’s greatest heroes.

Roerith urges followers of the Sovereign Host to oppose the Blood of Vol whenever possible. She sees the cult as a rival faith capable of stealing followers of the Sovereign Host. Like most in Karrnath, she sees the Blood of Vol as a nothing more than an ancient cult devoted to bloodline, heritage, and the mysteries of death.

Sometimes known as the Vale of Heroes, Tamor Gulch lies in north central Thrane, northeast of the town of Athandra. It saw little fighting during the Last War, at least in part because the effects of its manifest zone grant equal benefi t to both sides of a conflict within the gulch. However, a small group of fanatical warriors gathers in Tamor Gulch every month to fight for sport, gathering small, exclusive crowds that wager large sums of money on the outcome of the matches. These bouts are fatal only occasionally.

A character who makes a melee attack within Tamor Gulch comes immediately under the effect of a greater heroism spell that lasts for 10 minutes. A character can benefit from this effect once per day
