Overview

Official map from GM Rigby

Throne City was the capitol of the Empire of the Seven Pointed Star, which reigned over the Five Provinces for nearly 700 years. The city has recently been discovered and is now partially restored, though much of the town is still overrun by decay and dangerous creatures such as Marbled Angiswaerd and Alley Thugs controlled by King Fade.

Throne City is an important city for Moon Mages. It's a location for several key Moon Mage quests such as Enchanting and Astral Travel. It features vendors that sell unique materials used in enchanting. Resident creatures such as angiswaerds drop husks used in Astrology. The museum within the city contains unique items that can be stolen by skilled Thieves, including stones used in the production of Gwethdesuans.

The city also features a Spell Library that is currently the only place in the game where magic-using characters can forget a spell, purchase an extra spell slot, or purchase a custom spell prep message.

Currently, there is no justice system yet in Throne City.

Throne City can be reached through a barge ride from Riverhaven's salt yard docks. Player-owned ships may also dock outside the city. Parties with Moon Mages can also reach Throne City through a moongate by FOCUSing stone turtle in Therenborough's Gaeleranendae's College.

Government, History, and Background

Government Type

Autonomous. Throne is located on the southern shore of the Faldesu River. It is, however, considered to be on Therengian soil. Neither Zoluren or Therengia lay claim to Throne leaving it on its own and governed solely by the Moon Mage Guild.

Prominent People

Enchanter Xathvier, owner of Xathvier's Curios and Oddities.

King Fade, ruler of the band of thugs which roam the ruins within the heart of Throne.

Archmagus Fleintoore, owner of Maginius Kaentao Maous, Spell Library.

History

901BL - Construction begins on Throne City by Dwarven masons assisted by the Gor'Togs. The seating and construction occurred under the order of Empress Taratochs who assumed leadership of the Empire that same year.

From 901BL until 240BL when it was abandoned as the Capitol, Throne City was only deposed as the seat of the Empire once. In 485BL, the capitol was moved to Elamiri (formerly Garnedhren), and was not returned until 479BL. It was believed this shift was done through Queen Morganae's meddling, for which sanctions were placed against the Mountain Elves from 478BL until 389BL.

Creatures

Throne City has a relatively smooth progression of creatures for hunting, most of which train skinning. The easiest creature is the River Caiman, which hit relatively softly for the amount they train, making them a strong choice for adventurers who have just graduated from Faenrae Reavers in Zoluren or Dusk Ogres in Riverhaven.
