Orlane

The home of nearly 950 resident, Orlane rests near the Carroncraig Peaks within the Saidar Province of theKorma Kingdom. A predominantly agricultural village, it appears to have almost been abandoned by the larger world, save for the merchant caravans that arrive once every few weeks.

The village used to be led by “lord” Shaun Padraig, descendant of the family line that had established Orlane. However, after the Battle of the Black Graves, Shaun Padraig was gruesomely killed by agents of Kalarel the Scion. Now the village is run by Agrid, the “bandit lord.” While the title of Lord is now false after Korma unification, the title has been retained for the family in charge of Orlane.

Orlane had originally been built as a bandit outpost which slowly developed into a real village before being brought under the protection of the Korma Kingdom. Shadowfell Keep was created after unification and relied on Orlane to provide food and resources, until the Order was destroyed. Now the village predominantly survives on its own, having been generally ignored by the kingdom at large, except for merchants trying to make money selling supplies.

For defense, the village originally had 10 part time soldiers known as the Regulars patrolling the walls. After the Siege of Orlane, the village now has 20 militia soldiers known as the Vigilars, patrolling the 20 ft. high stone walls.

"''Regulars believed it was all in a days work to walk the walls. THe Vigilars know that it is their duty to protect the people from the evils that seek to destroy us." -"Lord" Agrid, 218 ''

Recently, the Bandit Lord hopes to expand his influence, and has been petitioning for being allowed to rebuild and staff the abandoned keep to the north of Orlane. However, he requires Lord Numera’s permission to take command of it, and Lord Numera hasn’t seen fit to decide the fate of the dangerous Keep on the Rifts. Rumors say that the Bandit Lord has asked the local ratcatchers who had helped see him ascend to power if they would speak to Lord Numera to guarantee his permission for command.
