Vorago


 

Vorago is a port town located on the edge of the eastern shore, embraced by a mountain and the clear blue sea. This is one of the biggest ports in the kingdom and is home to many nobels of Delusa as well. This town was also once home to one of the men who ended a war hundreds of years ago that helped bring Avalon into being. The port itself is full of fishers making catches and merchants sailing in and out to neighboring towns and cities to sell their goods. It is hard to tell the end of the port and the beginning of the main area of the town. A wide cobbel road large enough to let four wagons easily travel side by side leads to the mainstreet from the port. The streets are lined with houses, shops and taverns.

At the center of the townsquare is a fountain-statue of a dragon and four water-bearing maidens. The maidens stand atop of a piler at each corner of the foountain pouring a streem of endless water from their buckets. The Dragon rests atop a piller in the middle of the basin just a few feet lower than the maidens. The dragon stands on 3 of it's legs, with the left one stretching out infront of it as it's head looks into the sky releasing a streem of water straight into the air. The edges of the basin make for sitting benches for people who would like to rest from their chores and look at the 14 foot statue.

As the town goes inland, it begins to spread out into houses on the side of the mountain. Most of the people who own these houses are nobels, but many commoners reside spread out on the mountainside away from the busy town center. One may also notice the 4 story ivory colored building known as Darkblaze Manor around this area. The town was surrounded with a rather small wall, only eight feet tall, and two feet thick until it gets halfway up the hilside and then stops. Now however, the wall has increased in size and is now eight feet thick and twenty feet high. The gate of the town is wide to allow large amounts of cargo in and out. There is a wooden gate with steel bar gates on either side close in times of need. Resident guards stand at the post looking on into the lush green valley as far as the eye can see. Also, atop the mountain is a 70 foot tall watch tower constructed out of Daidem

At night, the town is well lit and a fog usually fills the port and some of the town close to the port. Otherwise, the town is well lit with streetlamps. The lights of the small homes on the mountain side can be seen and the Tavern's usually tend to get busy. The main gate holds two large torches on each side and standing underneath them are residential knights. Another town rests between Vorago and the capital of Delusa. The aura that the town gives off also seems to welcome all the strangers visiting or just passing through.
