TEW - Capitals - Aes Kalon

Formerly a province of Osenvar, Aes Kalon straddled the border between its mother city and Sulinad to the south. Upon the fall of its mother city during the Great Bloom, Aes Kalon knew that it was on its own as the throngs of fleeing Osenvarians went right past it, the beasts of the Wilds in hot pursuit. It seemed like nothing was going to stop the encroaching force. However, at least as the mythos suggests, a large artifact of unknown origin fell from the sky between the city and the approaching Wild sprawl. This object seemed to repel the growth headed their way, actually containing its advance and protecting the city from its wrath. This artifact soon became known as the Wildsbane, and its power seemed to be long-lasting throughout the years since.

After successfully defending itself from the legions of the Wilds, Aes Kalon has risen to its former glory. A vast city of luxury amidst a chaotic world. With its Wildsbane in place, space and concerns for defense are greatly lessened. As such, the citizens of the city were able to spend more time with leisurely pursuits than those of many of the other cities. This has led to an economy that relies on things such as luxury, entertainment, and manufactured goods. While this path has led to the financial well-being of the city, the reputation as a city of excess has hindered its leaders’ aspirations to become the home of a rumored United Front.
