24.3 Life in Avalon on 1st Leaflost 864.

"Thakria is the richest city of the three, under the careful eye of Snowlock, Guildmaster o the Thieves. It is his guidance which has seen the recovery of Thakrian pre-eminence, and the City of Miracles has regained its reputation for fine trade and stout-hearted citizens. Alongside Snowlock are his fellow Thief Belit, while Derillion and Elektra of the Seers occupy the third and fourth Baronial positions. Cuchulain of the Loremasters is the fifth Baron."

"Parrius stands as the second wealthiest economy, recently recovered from a period of disastrous Baronial decisions and now guided by one of its most ancient citizens, Procyon, Bringer of Light, and Master of the Artisans. Alongside Procyon is Vanion, High Priest of the Stars and Master of the Astrologers. Garet Jax and Calladan, Guardian of the East, both Enchanters stand alongside Eshkadeth, Guildmaster of the Enchanters, are the other three Barons of the city. Parrius' reputation for herbs, runes and poisons is known the world over."

"Mercinae, the third city, has slumped over the past decade of Avalon life. Isildur retains his control of the city under the watchful eye of Castigere, god of justice, the city patron. However, Baronial work has been slack and the city marketplace on Cassiandora Square is often empty. Mercinae's treasury is gradually being drawn away by the expenses incurred maintaining the richly adorned city and the threat of war from the Thakrian frontier is ever a worry on the mind of its Barons. Isildur's fellow Barons are Aragorn, the Bard, Lord Palin of the Knights, Markus of the Rangers, and Sir Galahad, the Ancient Mage."

"Castigere retains Isildur of Mercinae as his High Priest, while The Diabolus holds Count Rack as leader of his brood. Fiorella, though retiring from her position as Mistress of the Animists, still holds the lofty role as high priestess of life. Nostradamus, god of the stars, has chosen Vanion to lead his flock, while Mephisto has Belit, Mistress Thief. Lord Eshkadeth leads the Order of Cornelius, the god of Magik, and Markus heads the order of Maedhros Allendil, the Hunter. Genesis, the god of time has chosen Zollrender as his High Priest."
