Relman

**Relman** is a quaint Town in the mountainous regions of the realm. It is home to many tradespeople, warriors, and powerful land owners. After the death of Falista Relman, the city presumably swore allegiance to Queen Talon.

## History

The city was home to Lord Relman, an older man who had much wealth and land. He bargained a betrothed marriage with Aegisford resident Falista, and the pair were married despite her chagrin. After Lord Relman's death, he left his wealth, army, land, and rank to Falista. As the Baroness, she held rule over the city as one of the wealthiest nobles.

## Throughout The Outpost Series

In *The Key to Paradise*, Falista arrives in Aegisford in the hopes of winning the heart of Baron Tobin Aegisford. However, he reveals his engagement to Queen Rosmund, which breaks her heart. He needs support to save Rosmund, offering to buy the Relman army she commands for a steep price. She refuses his offer and will only part with her army if they wed, as their individual armies would merge with marriage. While Tobin intitally refuses out of love for Rosmund, his situation grows dire and he agrees to marry Falista. After the ceremony, Falista gives him his wedding gift - the Relman army, who are now part of the Aegisford fleet. She tells him that once he saves Rosmund, he will return to Aegisford or Relman with her, where they can rule as Baron and Baroness.

In *Dying Is Painful*, Falista rides to Gallwood Outpost with three of her guards in search of Tobin.

In *The Hardest Part of Being Queen*, Falista watches the newly appointed royal advisor Garret Spears train the soldier of Gallwood Outpost. He moves onto Tobin and Falista's men, who are reluctant to listen to him without orders from Falista. They even pull their weapons on Garret when he gets close to her. She reminds Garret that the men listen to her and Lord Tobin, not Garret. She believes he needs her approval before her men act on any orders. He reminds her that Rosmund has given him authority to command the Aegisford fleet. She allows the men to train, though Garret's annoyance is clear.

Falista is summoned to the throne room where Queen Rosmund comands she hand over control of the fleet and swear her allegiance to the Queen. She can either oblige, or leave Gallwood. Falista reminds the Queen that Lord Tobin commands the fleet, not herself. Rosmund quips back that Tobin isn't the problem, Falista is. Falista kneels before Rosmund saying that as long as Lord Tobin serves Rosmund, she will.

In *Where Death Lives*, the fleet fights against The Hive during the attack on Gallwood Outpost. Many soldiers die as a result of the war, including Baron Tobin Aegisford. With his death, control over Relman, Aegisford, and their combined fleets, falls to Falista.

In *Someone Has to Rule*, Falista and a newly revived Tobin claim the throne, becoming King and Queen of the realm. Their fleet is also merged with the Prime Order, now that the The Three support the throne.

In *The Power of the Masters*, Talon and Luna make the trek to Relman in search of Naya, in the hopes she can help them in their war against The Seven. The two visitors try to locate Naya, and have to bribe a fruit vendor for information. The woman ultimately points them to The Shade Inn. The guard standing watch outside the door insists they surrender their weapons, but also refuses them entry as the Inn is closed to new visitors. As they bicker, Naya notices the commotion and is overjoyed to see her friend. She assures the guard the woman are okay, and ushers them to a table. She is the innkeeper of The Shade, and has made a comfortable life for herself in Relman. She enjoys the peacefulness of the city. Talon and Luna convince her to leave Relman so she can aid in their war.

Meanwhile, Garret and Zed return to Gallwood Outpost where they are met with resistance from the Aegisford-Relman fleet. Garret had been declared a traitor, while Zed wasn't trusted due to being a Blackblood. The fleet threatens to execute Garret until he forces them to listen by taking their commander hostage. He shows proof that Tobin handed leadership of the Outpost over to him by showing the Aegisford ring. With the evidence presented, the fleet commander reluctantly agrees to take orders from Garret until Tobin says otherwise.
