This lazy agricultural settlement rests on the swampy shores of the Middle Suvan at the delta of The Kenash River. The River's slow moving bayou waters have bred a different sort of people - rugged, cultured, and somewhat violent. Sprawling plantations of tobacco and cotton grow on the outskirts of the swamp in the rich Cyphrus soils, while the city itself curls around the bayou and spawns decadence and sins of all sorts. Life is slower in Kenash, but the lack of pace is made up for in the excesses of food and flesh in a city where drinking, debauchery, gambling, slavery, and overbearing plantation families dominate the landscape.

Fall 75th. 19th Bell 28th chime


Towery’s Casino…..oddly enough it was one of the few places Kreig liked in Kenash….. It wasn’t a large place, in act despite its decore and the fact it had half naked slave girls running about, that churned his stomach a little. Still, it was at least a familiar air here, he remembered long ago when he used to go Tall Johnny’s for a fight bacn in Sunbrith, then the Spinning Coin back in Syliras to watch the fights….. now it seemed to come full circle here because there wasn’t any fights here to be had. Towery seemed to run the place primarily for games and prostitution of his girls ‘ I suppose it isn’t big enough for fight’s anyway’ Though if he were honest it did seem to be the type of place where brawls could occur, especially as a good third of the customers seemed to mercs ‘ Would be a welcome thing, really. Its been a while since I’ve been in an all-out brawl’ He chuckled to himself as he held a mug in his hand as he sat at the bar counter, it was cheap and reliable ale. 3 cms a mug , enough for him to get plastered even with his measely income.

He was getting used to Kenash, he was sad to say…. Time seemed to even make the more horrid aspects of life seem bearable after it passes. He was getting used to the arrogant dynasts, getting used to the cities damp weather and getting used to many of the expensive looking things this city had. Though despite getting used to all that, it was still nice to be in a place where everything felt far simpler, it was akin to a breath of fresh air. He turned to look around at the place, he could see a couple of knights who were part of the delegation although he wasn’t too familiar with them. It was hard to recognize them without their armor but their bearing gave it a way, a knight stood proud and tall after all….though they too seemed to be partaking in drinks ‘Can’t blame, must be hard being part of the honor guard’ It wasn’t like knights weren’t allowed to get drinks either, it’s just that people with martial skills tend to be dangerous drunks though they seemed to be drinking in moderation.

Kreig sighed as looked back at the mug of ale in his hand, then promptly took a sip from it. He wondered if the Knights were feeling homesick as well, being away from Syliras? “ Ain’t that obvious Kreig? Of course they are[/u]’ He chuckled humorlessly at that, taking a small sip from his mug…. He needed to take his minds off his troubles, it was the whole reason he came to this establishment in the first place and now here he was thinking about them all ‘[i]Well done Kreig, always knowing how to relax

Excuse me, is this seat taken?

Kreig turned to the new voice and was, admittedly, pleasantly surprised at what he saw; It was a pretty lookin’ woman with flowing dark hair and mischevious blue eyes, she had this smile on her face that was rather friendly though not in the sense that she saw something she like but rather just general friendliness from one human being to another. She looked shorter than him by a few couple of inches as he looked her over subtly, quite a looker he had to admit and the polite side of him was unusually reinforced as he motioned for her to take a seat “Nah, sitting with company is a lot better than bein’ lonesome to be honest”

Her cheerful smile broadened and she immediately began ordering a glass of Rum for herself, though curiously she made no move to drink it as the drink was placed before her “ So, I haven’t seen you in Kenash before. You new?” She motioned her head towards his freeborn mark, Kreig turned to look at it with a bit of disdain but still he gave her a respectful nod.

“Aye, had to get it since the lot I’m part of are stayin’ more than we’d like. “ He admittedly as he took a light gulp of his rum. The one thing that he could never get used to was this mark, this godsforsaken piece of shyke that he had to get just to show he was a FREE citizen….Yeah right, a free citizen wouldn’t need such stupid shyke, Kreig knew it was just a way for the Slavers to know that Kreig was something currently unless the Dynast decided he wasn’t worth of it or he did something stupid.

Mmmm, must be one of those Knights then, you’re about the only people around who seem to take this long over it” Kreig nodded, it was an accurate assumption truly and his features soothed a bit as she pointed out that he wasn’t the only one who felt disgust at it.” Though honestly you don’t look like a knight, they usually look a lot sharper even

Kreig had to say, it wasn’t the first and he was certain it would never be the last ‘Everyone seems to be a critic’ “I’m just more comfortable looking like this, getting gussied up is not something I like”

Is there really any harm in looking good? If I may be so bold it would enhanced your good looks, and admittedly it would probably stand out far less than now

Kreig chuckled at that as he shook his head “Probably, but don’t take this the wrong way but…. I don’t really like this city” He looked at her to see her reaction and was pleasantly surprised to see that she simply shrugged.

You wouldn’t be the first, a lot of people seem to hate that a lot of our business is focused on slavery” She said nonchalantly, as if the business itself didn’t bother her much.

“Well to be honest, I know Kenash had to depend on slavery to grow but to me they just rely on it too much nowadays, plus to treat life as something to own and possess…”He shrugged as he glared at the direction of all the slave girls, noting that a couple were with some customers and walking towards to more private places “… I’m sorry but that’s just something I can’t condone. Syliras rose to its place without needing slaves and it’s a hundred times the Kenashi population” Her eyes rose wide at that, as if unable to comprehend that a city could have that many people.

You have that many people?!” The surprised exclamation followed, confirming his suspicions “ How do you feed them all? Actually how do you house them all?

Kreig could only grin, he had an opportunity to brag about the city he was proud to serve, honestly he didn’t want to waste the chance “Welp, the entire city is a giant castle that can house all of ‘em! And we got these giant farms! Probably bigger than the plantations!” He exclaimed happily and a bit smugly.

Ohhh I call bullshyke on that

“Its true, we do!” Kreig chuckled, even he still couldn’t believe the sheer volume of people contained “Otherwise we wouldn’t be able to feed everyone, we’d go broke just trying to buy food from other cities and I don’t think the wildlife would survive either”

So if your self sufficient why do you trade with Kenash?

Kreig could only shrug “I dunno, I guess its because despite our size doesn’t mean we don’t need stuff that would make the city run smoother. You guys probably have medicine stuff and goods that do that so I’m supposin’ that why our Order trades with you guy, ‘specially since on a good season you guys are the closest to us”

She went ‘hmmmmm’ on him as he said, a look of triumph on her face and a bit of pride, Kreig was slightly annoyed by that. But… he didn’t mind the source really, especially as she gave him that grin.

“So before we end up talking who’s city is best and the resulting brawl, how about we introduce ourselves?” She looked shocked at that, as if realizing there was indeed something she had forgotten and suddenly rose from her seat and gave him a mock bow.

Do forgive my forgetfulness, my name is Niala Prodavets
