The city-fortress of Aaramor is located on the southern banks of the West Sellen River in northwestern Numeria, near the edge of the Sarkoris Scar.

History

Legendary Numerian kings ordered Aaramor's construction in 1305 AR and named it after the founder of the Blades of Aaramor. The city once defended the border against the giant-kin and barbarians of Sarkoris.

In 1521 AR, Aaramor's ruler had its northern stone bridge replaced with a fragile wooden bridge to deter giants from crossing the West Sellen River.

After the opening of the Worldwound in 4606 AR, Aaramor became Numeria's first line of defense against the demonic hordes.

Inhabitants

While the town's chieftain is always a member of the Blades of Aaramor tribe, not all of the town's people belong to the tribe.

As of 4714 AR, the resource-strapped town was led by Blades of Aaramor Chief Rothgar, who had to balance his loyalty to the Black Sovereign, the town's defense, the relationship between the townsfolk and tribe, and the fiscal demands of the then-active Technic League.

The League's representative and tribute collector at the time, the hated Kellid wizard Kannath, had served since 4711 AR despite multiple attempts on his life.

Religion

As of 4714 AR, Andura Jakos—the town's Iron Hand of Gorum—recruited for the then-active Mendevian Crusades from the town chapel, while Shepherd Euna provided for the town as a priest of Erastil.
