Aarderra
Introduction
To look upon Aarderra is to look upon a monument of high opulence. Its vistas unfold from sun-drenched olive groves and terracotta farmlands to bustling, timber-scaffolded stone harbours with tall-masted galleons. Witness the renaissance as this gilded era stands as a triumphant dawn of high art, soaring philosophy, and magnificent science and magic. Unprecedented innovation has been woven seamlessly into the fabric of daily life.
Come explore the libraries, the artisan workshops, the apothecaries, the universities and markets. All propelled forward by the esteemed mass craftsmanship of the Eitra (guilds) owned by the vast wealth of the merchant families, collectively known as the Florini, and all overseen by the Church of the God of Justice, the Molisyni.
Amidst the marble palaces and the cobbled docks, who will you become?
