Rightfall City is a coastal city nestled near the Ki River
and the Hito mountain chain. This has given the city a nice defendable area as
well as a fine position to trade with everyone in the immediate region. Many
different races have moved to the city, while originally founded by humans and
elves of the nearby mountains dwarves soon joined once the city was on its
feet. Halflings moved in soon after and helped found the mages quarter. About
fifty years ago half-orcs parented as a result of the Orc Wars of the Plains
moved into the city as a way to escape there full orc brothers. The once small
temple district has expanded to a full quarter of the city with the chief
worship place for four major religions (Abadar, Desna, Sarenrae, and Iomedae ).
This has brought many travelers and pilgrims to the city which has increased
trade and wealth to the city. Having all of these religions in the city has also led to a unique rule of law called "Prayer for Judgment" criminals are brought before a beast (which varies on size depending on the crime) and can call for divine intervention to save them if the beast fails to attack them they are acquitted of all crimes if not then they have been punished. This rule of law has made the city one of the law-abiding in the region if not the world.
Rightfall city has become a major power in the region
able to fund a major full time militia and a great weapons production center. A
few years ago the first firearm was created in Rightfall City and recently the
city council has amped up production so as to increase the cities power and
influence. Many in the city have been pushing for increasing the cities
holdings by enveloping Selk under its influence. This expansion would bring
more money into the city’s coffers while allowing the expansion of its
defensive zone. Right now there is a major rivalry between Rightfall City and
Malkesh City. Both want control of the western part of the region and its
people.
Rightfall City is led by an all female cleric council;
several hundred years ago the city determined that the most suitable rulers for
the city are female clerics since they are less prone to war. This trend has turned out
to be not true but the town has kept to the tradition of only selecting female
cleric leaders. Recently there have been talks about letting non-cleric females run for the
council but none have yet.
