State of Meranthe

- 2160AC: Year of Ios -

Following the events of Mabel's doomed march on the Serpent's Crown, the outpost unexpectedly appeared to crumble under the weight of an unknown ritual- leaving it wasted in a spectacle that many were present to witness. Amidst its consequences, a procession soon set out from the ruins- at first merely one woman, only to steadily grow with each township passed through. Rumors refer to the leader of the procession as the 'Sword Saint,' but those who have met her know her by another name- Pneuma.

Finally in Western Meranthe, they come to a stop and began construction efforts. Now a small roadside village northward of Viritas, they've come to call it...

- Hallow's Pass -

Presented by Queen Pneuma Hallowcrest.

• Most visitors find themselves allowed within the budding village, provided they yield to its laws- save for Delphinians and Arcadians.
  
• Laws against wanton violence and petty theft come into effect. The practice of profaned arts such as Black Magic and Necromancy remains unregulated, but Undead in particular may find themselves warded off by its denizens.
  
• The Ent, Pet'Yal is declared the official, national flora of the burgeoning settlement. The carnivorous plant finds themself attended to by nonmagi at the snap of a finger (or vine, rather).
  
• Nearby villages of nonmagi find themselves approached by the Hallowcrest monarch, offering support and protection in exchange for loyalty.
  
• Hallow's Pass is a Conqueror-type settlement.
