Special Classes & Kits:
Dress in Cherient is usually utilitarian, although in the cities slightly more ornate garb may be seen, and some aristocrats have adopted the foppish styles of Geronfrey's courts. Normally, however, both men and women tend to favor breeches and tunics, with warm jackets and leggings worn in the winter. Cloaks in somber, earthy colors are common for travellers, as are leather hats to protect the traveller's head from rain and sun. Buildings are made of stone, with an emphasis on austere arches and pillars, pointed roofs and high walls. Many of the buildings are built up a mountainside, with rooms and tunnels piercing the living stone and windows opening up along the sheer cliff faces. Sharp-edged, somber towers often border cities or watch over mountain passes.
The Magnus is the major river running through this land, beginning near Oporphyr and winding through the mountains down into Kanpa.
Cislunar was built primarily by its eccentric archmage founder, Persifal, and is a striking example of dark, gothic architecture. Gargoyles can be found in almost every corner, and some of them are real - Cislunar is, in fact, the haven for Free Gargoyles. The city is ruled by the Archon Domenico Lament. Cislunar is the main port in Cherient, sitting on the foothills of the Narcoris Range. Once it was little more than a convenient city to exile debauched or embarrassing kinsfolk to, but now it has gained new notoriety as the origin of the Theophany and is experiencing a renaissance. Cislunar is close to Mareaux River, which meets up with The Magnus, and thus many who wish to travel south begin their journey in this city.
Oporphyr: Realm Oporphyr
[Map: Warhammer Fantasy, Death on the Reik - Castle von Wittgenstein]
Oporphyr was once ruled by a conclave of powerful undead known as the Sacrament Sanguis that brutally oppressed its people. They dwelt in huge towers built on sheer cliffs and were almost never seen, preferring to send out their cloaked and masked overseers to deal with the commoners. For many years, Oporphyr and Cislunar engaged in a war of wills, Cislunar repeatedly fighting off undead invaders from Oporphyr and responding with groups of holy warriors and hardened mercenaries. However, the Sacrament Sanguis opposed the satamharanthu invasion and was destroyed. Now the city is abandoned, but more than one Cislunarite will swear that the Sacrament Sanguis still dwells there.
