Septice



The largest and second oldest city of Ruin, Septice is situated within the far east and is the only city to be built on Ruins only area of coast. Known internationally as ‘The Corruption Capital of the World’ Septice is a sprawling mess of violence, crime and debauchery. More than twice as large as Ruin’s second largest city (Illidan), Septice is, by any standards, a sizable place. Dating back more than 600 years, Septice has seen its share of Dukes, Viscounts and Thanes. Built under order of the Dreadmein dynasty, in approximately 126 JoR, it is only recently that Septice has been ruled by anything other than a member of the royal family.

In 735 JoR, under the rule of the infamous Thane Dreadmein, the first of his lineage to raise commoners and non-dwarfs to stations of power, Septice came under the govern of Telth of Gaurs, a chieftain from The Ashen Veil who had migrated with his people from the god forsaken land that once was their home. Telth ruled for only one year before being executed by Guile Schmidt in the public founding of ‘The Hand of Septice.’

The first Hand of Septice
Founded by Guile Schmidt the first Hand of Septice consisted of only four members for several years. It was not until 739 JoR (known as Ruin's last year) that Percival Smiles joined The Hand.

The one thing the king could not forgive
In the year TWO 65, on the day known as 'The Final Letting', Terios 'The King who Bowed' led an army of men whose loyalty who knew would not faulter to the gates of Septice. The King then commenced to burn the city to the ground. Not a village, not a single hut, has been erected on that patch of scarred land since.
