Stringen is a town near the edge of the Adri Forest in the northern part of the Great Kingdom of Aerdy.In 585 CY, the town is under the control of Prince Rishern, who, in turn is liege to Prince Hastern of Edgefield, and fully allied with him. The town is used to keep an eye of the Highlander Castles, as well as acting as a launching point for many raids into the Adri forest. Prince Rishern has a decently sized army, which contains a dozen barbazu, though it is not widely known.[1]
Geography
[edit | edit source]The town is located directly north of Edgefield about equidistant between Edgefield and the Highlander Castles, on the very northern edge of the Adri forest.
People
[edit | edit source]Notable individuals
[edit | edit source]Though the town is technically controlled by Prince Rishern, most agree that the power behind the throne is a mage by the name of Zebbenen, who has an inordinate amount of control over the Prince by 585 CY, especially given that he is a new arrival in 583 CY.[1]
Rumors and legends
[edit | edit source]Zebbenen is the source of many rumors among the people of Stringen. First, he is said to work for Prince Hastern and be fully controlling Prince Rishern on his behalf. He also draws suspicion for the many trips into the Adri forest he leads, allegedly looking for something important, but none of the soldiers accompanying him ever seem to be able to remember the trip with any detail. Many serfs and artisans in the surrounding area also suffer from blackouts and bouts of amnesia, which remain unexplained[1].
