The City of Vallia

## Summary

The starting area for most adventurers in Vallia-canon. This is also the roleplay's namesake and was first introduced in Season 1 as the first main area.

## Description

*"Vallia was a kingdom of great repute, a trade capital centre for the world. Many salesmen and women gather in the city to sell their wares to adventurers passing through. The streets were cleaned regularly, due to the amount of horses and carriages that passed through daily. The people were mostly friendly, though the community was quite dislocated- not very many people knew each other. And such bad connections, lead to the dark side of the city that came out after dark. Those who leave their carriages unprotected at night may find their items vandalised or stolen. Thugs were not uncommon in Vallia, as most of the population was fairly well-off, punishing those who let themselves get caught out after hours. The kingdom was not without hope, however, not just because of the kingdom's guard- but also for a collation of guilds that had sprouted in the city. Many of them fight for good, provided the coin, and take on a whole manner of jobs as mercenaries, body guards or merely escorts. One such guild was named 'Vegerth's Guild', funnily enough, named after the hero Vegerth; whos legendary and honourable name stretched for miles. Coincidentally, this is where the story is based. A handfull of new recruits, from various origins, had been travelling to Vegerth's Guild in search of glory, coin- or anything else. They say that Vallia is the city in which people find out who they truly are, it will be up to you to decide whether or not this rumour is true." -* First post of Vallia, by Elliot.

Being the trade capital of the world, the city is remarkably circular in nature- built up around one large castle in the centre. The buildings and architecture are bland in contrast with the vibrant castle. True to its trade-related status, there are many merchants and blacksmiths scattered throughout the city. In an attempt to protect the city from would-be raiders, there is a large wall situated around the entire city- not necessarily protecting the inhabitants from common street thugs, however, though guards do patrol through the city.

It is home to a guild named Vegerth's Guild, where the journey of the main cast of Season 1 began; and was later visited by the cast in Season 2.

In the current iteration of this roleplay, the City of Vallia is also the Capital of Vallia (the country), see History.

## History

Vallia used to be the trade-capital, but after an ensuing civil war placed one year after the events of Season 1, the city of Vallia became the new capital- and the new monarch by the name of Victor I 'The First' Vallia- the Grand Excellent Emperor of Vallia decided to name the entire country after the city as a result of lead-based poisoning messing with his brain. To this day he rules, much to the cast's resentment.
