Slayer's Keep once was a small watch tower, but has since flourished into a fully fledged town. The place is shaped by the rocky terrain of crashing waves of the ocean nearby. The kingdom of slayers is well versed in the drenching of storm and windy rain. Causing the surrounding area to be rather swampy in the spring and summer, after the snow of winter melts.
Being so close to the sea, this place is prone to flooding, but the resilance of its occupents have built this place into house and home. Each building secured with high structures and firm foundations keeping each house freefrom internal water damage, even when the streets outside become as swampy as the marshland beyond. One could practically take a boat through the town square on a Sunday afternoon for shopping when this occurs.
The air carries the scent of wet earth and salt, for the ocean is but a short walk beyond the walls of this once small post, and the briny winds touch every corner of the town. While a chill dampness lingers here, the soft orange glow of firelight and candles spilling from homes and taverns warms the streets. Slayers and townsfolk alike gather against the stormy winds that so often pass through, sharing drink and reprieve from daily life. Be them fighter or merchant, this place gathers all around and have made this town a bustling place within the kingdom of slayers.
At the heart of the town, a great cathedrawl rises. Often mid repair, due to its age of time and wear; it remains an anchor to the people of this town and for those just passing through. The call is not only a place of worship, to those that pray to the shimmering lights of the great beyond, a common faith among the ashra folk, but also a gathering place and fortress, where strageties are cleverly crafted, or the names of fallen honoured.
Even during storming winds, and the cry of an angry ocean, the bells of this hall can be heard tolling its powerful echo over the surrounding lands. They call to those who wander, seeking shelter from the elements of this bold and merciless realm, telling them that here, there is refuge.
Here, there is safety.
Together, we stand strong. With stubborn vibrancy, our town of Slayer’s Keep is as unyielding and bold as the rain drenched land that calls this place its home.
