Kintargo Backstory

Before the Thrune takeoever, Kintargo was the Chelish city most exposed to outside influence: it sits on Nisroch Bay at the mouth of the Yolubilis River, unprotected by mountains or other natural barriers from those who might seek to take its wealth for their own. Kintargo’s people are less insular and more open to the outside world, and the Asmodean religion’s influence is far less keenly felt among them. This is not to suggest that the Church has no say in the city. The city is a major port, after all, and many ships of the Chelish Navy put in here; their commanders are largely ardent advocates of the regime in Egorian, and they enforce the desires of the Church hierarchy. The mayor of Kintargo, Jilia Bainulus, accedes to their wishes when the navy’s warships are in the harbor, and removes the restrictions when the ships sail out—there’s no point, she says, in depressing the area’s economy with all that nonsense.
