The capital is named Vorindar and is a large, walled city, predominantly human but home to many other races as well. Life within its walls has changed dramatically in recent years.
In the east, an ongoing war against invading orc forces continues. When the attacks began, most of the city’s capable fighters, soldiers, guards, and clerics left for the front lines. With so many of its protectors gone, the capital was left vulnerable.
As lawlessness and desperation grew among the common folk, a new guild was founded to fill the gap: the Order of the Silverwing. Its leader is Zaldran Silverwing, a well-dressed silver dragonborn who carries himself with quiet confidence and clear combat experience. The guild focuses on helping ordinary citizens and dealing with the many problems that have arisen inside (and increasingly outside) the city walls.
Not long ago, a giant statue strode through the streets, causing widespread destruction and chaos. The next day it was simply gone. Higher-ranking members of the Order of the Silverwing dealt with the matter, and further investigation is neither required nor encouraged. In the aftermath, Zaldran has actively sought new recruits to help stabilize the city and the surrounding wilderness, which has grown more dangerous now that fewer people venture beyond the walls.
In the power vacuum, a man named Otto declared himself mayor. He rules with a hard hand, determined to crush crime through fear and public executions. To enforce his will he relies on a company of mercenaries known as the Iron Fangs, who now serve as the city’s unofficial guards.
