The city of Alamar is an island city, elegantly situated within the Grand Marian Bay to the south of the Dead Gods’ Sea. Renowned for its opulence and cultural richness, Alamar stands as a beacon of Marian culture, drawing visitors and traders from across the known world.
Governance in Alamar is an affair of elegance and power, with the city ruled by Matriarchs from influential families, showcasing a unique societal structure where matriarchal wisdom and guidance are paramount. The city thrives on a bustling economy fueled by extensive trade networks. Notably, its prosperity is partly built on a controversial foundation—the slave trade, with many slaves coming from the Savage Hills, underscoring a dark facet of its affluence.
Alamar is also the spiritual heartland of the Marian people, centering around the worship of Ecadia, the revered Goddess of the Sea and Mothers. This religious devotion permeates every aspect of life in Alamar, from the grand ceremonies at the Grand Basilica of the Sea Mother to the daily prayers of its citizens.
The city is a place of stark contrasts. The Port of Lost Sons, Alamar’s bustling heart, pulses with the ceaseless rhythm of maritime trade and adventure. Ratside, the poorest quarter of Alamar, is a stark reminder of the city’s inequalities. It is home to Alamar’s surplus sons and known for its harsh living conditions, standing in sharp contrast to the city’s wealthier areas such as Rosebush Boulevard and Nitos-On-Sea, which are the epitome of luxury and affluence.
