    Vers, not the Captain kind



    Description


    Vers, surrounded on all sides by light woodlands, is nestled close in to the mountains to the west, the city wall running a path some three or so miles to the foothills of the mountains. Scattered clusters of huts dot the border between the woods and the boggy marshlands that drain the water from these cultivated foothills, the abandoned dwellings of families who used to make their way in the world by growing rice for the Versian markets. Vers was a vibrant center for Magic, alive with color and entertainment, up until the province became torn apart by war, with Undead creatures and heavy arcanic contamination making the environment too hostile for life.


    History


    One of the first cities founded by the ancient people of the Daitternian Kingdon, Vers acted as a magical outpost for the Daitternians and a collective city where Humans, cethers and fae intermingled. When Daittern was peacefully coerced into joining the Aelyrian Empire, Vers was initially left as an independent outpost after rejecting the decision to merge with the empire. History suggests that Vers sent a force of powerful Mages to fight against the empire's forces but it was to no avail with Vers eventually being absorbed into the Aelyrian Empire. in recent times, Vers remained an independent city mired with Magic only until recently when the war-battered province's arcanic contamination heavily impacted the city, its inhabitants fleeing north to escape the sentient Undead overwhelming the province. Vers has only just recently seen life return to its walls, with an encampment of Orcs taking up residence within its walls and heavily fortifying the city.

    Culture


    Prior to the war, Magic played a key role among the people of Vers with many of its wealthier citizens spending their coin on magical ornaments to accompany their attire. Feathers, bright colors and make-up were prominent among all genders in Vers. Music and art were found throughout the city, with the music vigorous and percussive and the art flamboyant and bright. With the Orcs newly settled in the city, having taken the sentient Undead that have not fled them for slaves, the atmosphere within Vers is much more suppressed, lacking its old color and giddiness.


    Local Government


    Currently the city of Vers is overseen by an orcish warlord by the name of WAAAAAAAGH after driving out the sentient Undead that had taken up residence within its walls.
