Breles

Breles is home to a rural community of farmers, artisans, and overall the "common folk". Devoid entirely of magic, whether by choice, or through selective preening and unfair judgment passed by leaders, Breles prides itself on "the working man" and doing "honest labor". They see all forms of magic as something to fear and hate, condemning any who wield such as touched by dark forces, and attempting to either run them out of town, or kill them if they refuse to leave.

## History

Breles was founded centuries ago by people who felt that magic was the bane of all existence. Creating a community exclusively full of non-magical humans, Breles is home to bigots of all types, from xenophobes to racists to sexists. Often considered the 'scum of Ithel', this backwater place is left to it's own devices by virtue of the fact nobody wants--or cares--to deal with them. They offer nothing of exceptional service or value, and are left to wither and die in their own exclusionary settlement.

## Geography

Situated just north of a giant water source, Breles is home to a scattering of small towns and villages. Beyond them is nothing but fields and grass for miles, leaving them to be stuck in the middle of nowhere, more or less.

### Settlements

* **Breles:** A rural group of settlements home to a superstitious, bigoted people.

### Points of Interest

* **Lake Purity:** A lake located near Breles, this "Lake Purity" is the center of many Breles activities, including the routine drowning and hanging of any and all magic users, or non-humans.

## Inhabitants

Breles is exclusively home to humans that cannot use magic. All non-humans are either ran out or killed, and the same is true for all magic users. Their general populace is small, and many are believed to be born from inter-familial relations, though none are exactly deformed enough to confirm this. Still, all the inhabitants hate outsiders, non-humans, and anyone who uses, interacts with, or otherwise has any connection to magic.

### Government

Led by Mayor Clyde, with the advisor Bishop Cleetus, the government is ran by faith and zealous dogma. Claiming that the Bishop was spoken to by a god, the town of Breles worships an obscure god, whom they've only ever referred to as "The One." and refuse to elaborate further on the name. They claim The One is who inspired the cleansing of all magic and non-humans alike, believing that faith is meant to be in the hands of the commoner, and magic was the result of great evil, even if used for good.
