Sliabh City

Sliabh City (also known as Stone Tower) is a city-state and a member of the Lanista League. It is home to the Sliabh Tournament of Arms, an event that draws warriors from around the world.
== Founding ==
Although pilgrims from the diaspora found peace in Féarthailte, Gaineamh, and Zonell, the great warriors found themselves outcast in the times of peace and pilgrimage. Láidir Ciúin, a former warlord, brought his soldiers and their families to the base of the Sos mountains. Here, a great tower was built into the living stones. Láidir Ciúin ordered the training of new soldiers, the crafting of new weapons, and the excavation of the mountain. It took two centuries to complete his orders.
Adventurers from Gaineamh and Fragarach noticed the unusual amount of soldiers in the mountains, and investigated to find a bustling city of trained warriors and- of all things- musicians. Fearful of the growing power, Duke James of Fragarach sent a military envoy to make treaties with the mountain soldiers of Sliabh. Upon entering the stone city, endless underground houses, mansions, and the great Stone Tower Shrine itself were astounding for the envoys to witness. The leader, Scil Ciúin, enamored the envoy with the trained bards, who performed many plays and ballads. Seeing the residents as civilized, Duke James of Fragarach joined an alliance with them (also to consolidate his military might.) From here on, it was a member of the League.
== Economy ==
Soldiers trained out of Sliabh are stationed elsewhere oftentimes, but many dropouts or graduates become mercenaries, and send coin back to their masters. Aside from a mercenary force, the Stone Tower Shrine holds the only major temple to Vvarnism in the Lanista League, and followers gather to worship and test their might. Other capital comes from the training of bards and playwrights, who also send gains back to their homeland. Good coin is also earned from enlisting soldiers and artists.
== Religion ==
Their worship of the Míshásta Pantheon is dedicated to Vvarnism. They follow the philosophy of strength and valor, and forego the 'weakness' of praying to the other deities. Members of other religions are tolerated within the city, as both the love of art and war come first to religion.
