24.8 Life in Avalon on 1st Leaflost 930.

Mercinae, the city of light, has the Allanon of the Artisans as its Prince. Grace, papillion de lumiere, is the Chancellor and Cardinal to Apollo, patron of the city. Her fellow Bard Cymric is the Minister for Trade and the first follower of the God of Compassion. Other luminaries of Mercinae are Etrigan, Minister for War and Justice, field marshall Yousuf and Grim the Alchemist as Minister for Public Relations. Ranger Hudson, Gringle of the Alchemists and guildmaster of the Mages Vilon, compliment the barony.

Thakria has undergone a great change as Orthwein, god of fate, returned to the city of his mortality and began to build anew in his image. Strangely Xandamere, follower of Lazarus, is Prince of the city, although the loyal Warlock Taz acts as Chancellor and Cardinal for his patron. Shakal the Jackal is Minister of State, accomplanied by Kirwond of the Bards and Zane. The mighty Sorcerers are dominated by the realm of pain with Sethanor as their leader. The Seers, ever mysterious, are lead by Talos whilst the Cavaliers return to strength under the guide of Kylan, Trident and their new patron Nostradamus.

Parrius has been troubled with the departure of its patron, but seeks new strength under the guidance of Maedhros, the Hunter. Heidi is the city's new Princess, bringing with her a new order of Kardak, Khalia, Trell and Fedora. Rentoo remains as Chancellor of the city, with Menk as public relations minister and the rapid Mopa as Minister of Justice.

Springdale continues to dominate the central plains of Avalon under the watchful eye of its patron Andromeda. Tarkus, Sirrus, Haplo and Aryca contribute to its success. The city of Springdale now boasts a Wizards guild, led by Casimian, with a rumour of more guilds to be opened soon.

Markus remains the high priest of Maedhros. Karamis is the high priestess of fate, despite the changes in Orthwein's patronage. Lancelot is the high priest of Andromeda, whilst Genesis, Aldaron, Apollo, Lazarus and Nostradamus all have no high priest for the present.
