Ardoris

Template:Infobox Location Known as "The Isle of Eternal Dawn", Ardoris is located in the southeast area of the continent along the Perennial Coast and is located in a river delta between the rivers Tempest and Rage. Over the centuries it was built up on the network of islands that covered the marshy river delta much like the Venice of Earth. It is a beautiful city of canals that draws its power from the water of the two rivers that bracket it as well as a system of aqueducts from the surrounding mountains. Across the rivers are mighty cliffs that are topped by a pair of identical castles that face each other: The Palace of the Mountain to the west is home to the Shogun Siranto. The Palace of the Winds to the east is home to the High Priestess Khasi.

It is the capitol of a Shogunate that covers most of the Perennial Coast. Because of that, Ardoris is one of the most well-defended cities in all of Novia. There are two moon towers, and a very large contingent of guards. They are divided into five corps, each devoted to pursuing a different virtue, and different duties. Azure Dragon, Black Turtle, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Yellow Dragon

Ardoris is also home to Sequanna, the Titan of Love. Sequanna's influence has shaped Ardoris in the past, but no one has seen her as of late. Her absense may be affecting the town as well. While the Shogun and the Priestess are married and rule jointly, rumor has it that they are estranged. That may be why they now reside separately. Rumor has it that the rift has something to do with the Necropolis, the largest concentration of undead in Novia, which is not too far west of Ardoris.

City of Sequanna, the Titan of Love. The port of Ardoris is a center commerce and culture, known for its majestic ancient canals. In the wake of an attack by the undead, its rulers are now divided by mistrust and rumor…
