Rines
The large citadel of Rines is a bustling coastal trading center, attracting merchants and artisans from across the world and providing shelter under its powerful towers to become one of the top five largest cities in the world. Southern waters and temperatures make for balmy days and temperate nights.
The center of the ages-old and now deceased Rines Republic, the city of Rines has afterwards been usually under control of Riombara. During the height of the Second Great War the city was lost to anarchy and mayhem after being targeted as the potential Blood Cultist colony. In the winter of the year 2009 the sunbathed flags of the Riombaran nobles entered the city again and took Rines under their wings.
After the fall of Riombara at the outset of the Sixth Daimonic invasion in 2016, permanent control of Rines eventually passed to theocratic realm of Sacred Obia'Syela in 2017.
City of Moonlight, Crown Jewel of the South
Nestled between the sapphire waters of the Sea of Four Cities and wooded hills of the Athol Margos Peninsula sits Rines, the sprawling City of Moonlight, the eighth-largest settlement in the world. The bustling streets and quiet homesteads are surrounded by the strong walls and high watchtowers, resplendent moon-white stone, guarding the peaceful inhabitants from the darkness that grips the world. When Riombara feel during the Sixth Daimonic Invasion, Rines was ravished, its many thousands of citizens either killed or driven off, leaving the City of Moonlight as little more than necropolis home to more dead than living. Now as day turns to night, watchtower flames roar to life to ring the great city in light, a comforting sight to any weary traveler looking for a place to lay their head. Though bustling, the streets of Rines are rarely clogged, many bridges connecting the City to the small island that lay at its center, provide an excellent, scenic alternate to the winding streets of Rines. A deep-water port stands sentinel at the entrance to the city's waterways and trade centers. At the center of it all stands the Basilica of Rines, a beacon of moonlight and hope in a world of darkness.
Be it by land or water, travel throughout the city is always a sight of wonder and amazement, visitors often notice the people of Rines possess a special resilience and determination to carve out their place in the world.
