Erutus

A town in Eskarya, located within the Vester Hills.
== History ==
Among the wreckage of the fallen town, documents, scrolls and scripture dictate that the settlement, once known as Drokhaven, was a place goblinoids, gnoll and orcs to seek safety from the war lords of their kind. Whilst, perhaps, they had not fully turned away from their ancestor's nature and found the embrace of Kol, they are the very least sought a home away from civilisation, but were fiercely protective of their own and did not hesitate to hunt down intruders to their lands. Finding the name 'Drokhaven' to be primitive and abrasive, what was left of the town was torn down and burnt, before being rebuilt as Erutus.
== Government ==
Under the territories of the Vester Dukedom, Riffolk Pyley of Greyhawk was named as Lord of Erutus, to oversee the reconstruction of the town in the Vester Hills. Whilst he had taken the holy vows of Zitus, his true love was the preservation of history, lore and artifacts of cultural value.
== Culture ==
Perhaps, after Port Kolsa, Erutus was one of the more forigiving towns in Eskarya, with many whispering the moniker of 'New Haven' when referring to the town away from the ears of Empire's spies. It has been wildly theorised that many still sought refuge from the zealous authority of the Empire in Erutus, with underground organisations running regular trips through secret tunnels that led across the walls of Badengatt and into Tosima. Lord Riffolk Pyley has personally led multiple investigations in Erutus to root out the underground organisation that aids the wanted criminals of the Templars of Zitus, but is yet to find them. Each year, an immensely detailed report is sent to Vallirk Thorne, that comprehensively covers his investigation before concluding that there is no organisation of its kind in Erutus, and their practice must take place outside of its walls. Thus far, no independant investigation has been sanctioned by the Emperor.
== Black Lotus Monastery ==
Since the end of the Aberrant threat, the Gith of the Black Lotus have since searched for a place to call home, with their Monastery on the Material Plane being destroyed since the first Aberrant invasion. Due to this deep appreciation for the history of Elysia, Lord Riffolk Pyley welcomed the Gith into the lands of Erutus and granting them a plot of land to rebuild their monastery, under the provision that they aid in the construction of a great library dedicated to the history and lineages of Elysia, and assist the noble in finding texts, scrolls and artiafacts of cultural significance.
