Bertelis

Nickname: 
Bertelis is a port city on the eastern coast of Leira, along the Teal Ocean. Once known as Leira's Pearl Port, Bertelis is the the Citadel of Droas. It was established after the Revolution between Droas and Ashar. Bertelis is still a large port town but, though it was once a thriving city, became filled with corruption and poverty. Currently the crime within the city has declined in the last couple of decades, but the city of Bertelis does not match it's former brilliance.
After the revolution and it’s establishment as Citadel, people began to flock to Bertelis and the city became a luxurious place. During these years the gap between rich and poor grew rapidly. Soon slums and gangs roamed many streets and within several decades the city became rank with crime.Soon a culture developed of pride on both the upper and lower classes. Part of this movement of hatred toward rich and breakdown of upper class power was the growth of cult-like groups within the slums of Bertelis. Here, in the many years of poverty and grew superstition and, eventually, necromancy. 
As its days of glory had passed, Bertelis is better known as the birthplace of dark magic. The people of Leira are traditionally a very religious group, though the gnomes of Ashar have moved away from this tradition, the desertfolk of Rathana and the Droatic gnomes remain very religious as a whole. This religiosity drove the poor and slums to begin to believe in more sinister practices and indulging in evil desires. Necromancy, and it's father, Oris Beveral, were bred in the city and have since spread throughout all of Sefyll despite Oris' execution.
