Location[edit]
Lanterntown is sprawled across a tributary of the River of Tears, approximately 300 miles southwest of Sijan. It is built on the ruins of a First Age outpost. The few pieces of functioning technology are what give Lanterntown its name.
Population[edit]
Lanterntown is home to nearly 40,000 people. A large number of traders pass through it every day.
Industry[edit]
Lanterntown's best known, and best selling, export are their lanterns. Available in almost any shape, size, or design, these lanters require no fuel, can glow with any color the maker desires (or for the more expensive versions, shift color at the command of the owner), and can last for years. More exotic lanterns are capable of warding off spirits, finding paths home, or even following the trail of someone who has passed by recently.
Guild of the Nitumen[edit]
The Guild of the Nitumen is the professional group of lantern makers. They jealously guard their secrets and technology, and have an entire mercenary company hired solely to protect their facilities. Members are sworn to secrecy, and violators frequently meet with accidents.
Lanterntown Merchant Association[edit]
Ostensibly a social group for merchants permanently based in Lanterntown, this association is controlled by the six or seven richest merchants in the town. They are the main buyers of the Nitumenian lanterns.
God of Lanterntown[edit]
The god of Lanterntown is named Lokan, though he has not been seen in nearly a hundred years.
Business Transactions[edit]
All business transactions, be it the simple purcahse of food, or an entire shipload of lanterns, must include a prayer or devotion to Lokan. This is by order of Council of Ministers, and has been in force for over a hundred years. It is the one law that is strictly enforced, and everyone must abide by it, including those who are just passing through.
