Telous

Telous is a City of Adventurers. This is where adventurers can find adventures by talking to Mr. Clutter at his adventure shop.

## Population

7,900 people currently live in Telous. The city itself is small but there could be almost twice that in it at any one time with the number of adventurers passing through.

800 Iron Golem guards patrol the city. These guards are resistant to Magic and are designed to be ready to fight adventurers. They are known as the Iron Watchers.

553 children live in Telous.

## History

Made by Eris at the beginning of the Known lands as a home base where he could study the people of the known lands. In the Year 1318PB or Post Binding adventurers from the Land of Nodun arrived. They discovered the use of The Great Arch to take them to other lands and found Eris's home when they arrived in Telous. Knowing the Gods were gone they built themselves a home here making additions to Eris's Home. As more people from more lands made it through the arch the population of Telous began to grow. The original adventurers from Nodun began to make laws for Telous seeking to turn it in to a safe haven for adventurers. They invited there favorite shop keeps to come live there tax free and many more joined. One of the Adventurers created 800 Iron Golems. The strongest Golems to date. These Golems watch over the town and enforce the laws these adventures made. Which are:

1. Do not kill.
2. Do not cause bodily harm to others.
3. Do not steal.

If the weak minds of the Golems are ever in doubt the culprit is brought into The Home of Eris to the Marut. Another Construction that has the power to interpret the laws and seek out the truth. It is the Marut's job to ensure the golems are not fooled and justice is done. Because the punishment for each crime is death the harshness of the guards forces the unworthy away from Telous to other lands where crime is much easier. The Marut is by far the most advanced Golem ever created and many believe that Eris blessed the creator Peldeir before it was created. These gaurdians have looked over Telous long after their creators death to watch it become a center for adventurers.

## Governing Body

The Marut and their 800 Iron Watchers.

## Economy

Telous is a city for Adventurers. Nearly every shop in the city is high end. Shop keeps have no taxes to pay and no economical laws. These leads to a wealth of trade. Nearly every shop sells some form of enchanted good as most mundane items are seen as not good enough for the denizens of Telous. Despite the wealth of shops selling every conceivable good for adventurers the cities biggest moneymaker may be through the inns. Very few adventurers actually live there now a days but because of the prevalence of Mr. Clutter nearly every adventuring party has to find a space to stay as they gather their members and prepare for Adventure. The Inns are nearly always full and bursting at the seems despite the city's 10 inns.
