Cjelegy

Description

Cjelegy is a prosperous rural region between the twin cities of Rines and Athol Margos. Due to its geographic location, Cjelegy houses twin lighthouses of great size for ships passing through between the Sea of Four Cities and the Atholian Mane. While Cjelegy is generally rustic, it has always made a significant military and economic contribution to its parent realm. The Cjelbriji, as the people Cjelegy are called, are guarded attentively by a host of Cjelbram: hardy militiamen who fight well beyond their pastoral heritage.

According to local legend there is dark rider who, lacking a head, has a lantern fixed to his neck and a torch in each hand that rides out at night when Daimons are near. When the horseman appears, dark clouds in an ominous spiral pattern hide the sky and the strong, warm southern wind crash against the southern crags. The deeply chiming bells of St. Alerick announce those spiral-cursed nights, and locals know to hide in their cellars at the bells' calling.

While Cjelegy's economy relies heavily on farming and fishing, a significant part of the region's wealth comes from hospitality for it is said of Cjelegy by the merchants and travelers who often reside in the cozy Cjelegian inns and taverns that no retreat is better. The tavern life is prosperous for the warm, mediterranean climate allows for the excellent cultivation of grapes that yield wine of famous renown. Among many popular choices, the most famous local specialty is the Gryphon's Blood; a rare red wine of the highest quality costing a king's purse.
