**Tor Rin** is a modestly sized city at the southernmost reaches of the Kingdom of Qui La. It is considered a resting point for travelers and operates as such. The city has no official Dao and has recently abandoned the City Keeping Protector deity, instead opting to favor the Compass Road Guides, specifically the Immortal Golden Buffalo (North) and Immortal White Dolphin (South). The city is lead by Majordomo Gopal Mehar.

## City Description

Tor Rin sits on the edge of the Quilami Swamp and at the tail end of the northern mountains. The city itself is not a most gorgeous site to some eyes but to the most ardent nature-lovers, it is a site of wonderment and enchantment. The city is divided into two halves. One half, considered perhaps the poorer of the two, is the ‘City of Stilts’. This section of the city is located mostly on the swamp and is made of docks and harbors, with great buildings sitting atop stilts. While the other section of the city, referred to as the ‘City on High’, is perched along the edges of the mountains. This is where the Majordomo’s Keep is. In Tor Rin there are two temples; one dedicated to the City Keeping Protector and the Compass Road Guides and the other dedicated to spirits and yukalona.

The Majordomo’s Keep is located on the cliff edge of the mountain. The fortress is a great rectangular building with a courtyard in the middle. The Keep has two floors. The bottom floor is where the servants and guards live. The second floor is where the Majordomo lives. A large basement dungeon is also present underground in the keep. There are two towers in the back of the fortress, one on each side of the courtyard. One of the towers acts as the quarters for the Golden Circlet Mercenaries and the other operates as a steading for the Court Wizard of Tor Rin.

### Points of Interest

* **The Bronze Elevator:** A large platform operated by 4 guards and 2 horses. Used to levy people from the bottom of the mountain (the City of Stilts) to the cliffs at the midpoint of the mountain (the City on High). The guards are only supposed to let known individuals travel on the elevator. They refuse anyone who looks unimportant or dirty.
* **The Docks:** The source of much of the city's wealth, the docks provide freshwater fishes and shellfishes to the city folk.
* **The Majordomo's Keep:** The fortress is a great rectangular building with a courtyard in the middle. The Keep has two floors. The bottom floor is where the servants and guards live. The second floor is where the Majordomo lives. A large basement dungeon is also present underground in the keep. There are two towers in the back of the fortress, one on each side of the courtyard. One of the towers acts as the quarters for the Golden Circlet Mercenaries and the other operates as a steading for the Court Wizard of Tor Rin.
* **Temple to the City Keeping Protectors:** An abandoned and boarded up building.

### The Market (City of Stilts)

* **Many Things:** A large, well stacked general store that has piles of disorganized items for sale. There seems to be the same teenage elf man selling the wares. He is consistently rude and seems to not care about who is present, but acted strangely polite when he saw Noe.
* **Market Stalls:** A series of vendors come by seemingly daily in order to sell their goods.
	+ **Butcher:** A large middle-aged, bald man with barrel sized arms that sells questionably fresh meats.
	+ **Weaver:** A little old woman who sells blankets and trinkets.
* **The Muck-Lover's Tavern:** A large, dark wood tavern that is not necessarily clean nor tidy. There appears to always be a singular individual working the front desk, operating as the bartender, chef and bookkeeper. Rooms are a silver a night.

### The Market (City on High)

* **"A Blacksmith":** A small blacksmithing shop that sells knives and other usable wears.
