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

Sand Enclave

Located in the Downriver Ward, the Sand Enclave is a small neighborhood that's home to a majority of Sentra's Elven residents. The neighborhood plainly has better streets and Imperial Watch presence than Rattlestone. Whereas the Sand Enclave is a place where citizens and tourists alike can visit to get a feel for "the life of elves" and a taste of Desert architecture, the Rattlestone neighborhood is a more authentic look at the actual life of an elf in the city.

Imperial Watch
Imperial Watch The Imperial Watch serve as a police force for the entire city, with a little help from the Vigilants. It's well known that there is corruption within the ranks of the Watch, and their presence is obviously more predominantly in the higher class neighborhoods and places of high economic activity.  It's unclear if it's harder for the Watch to keep order in the more crime-ridden neighborhoods, or if they simply don't care.

Some locals refer to them as "silvertops" for the helms they wear.
