Charas is a town of the Kingdom of Vlandia. It is ruled by the Baron Ingalther of the Clan dey Cortain.
Charas is the precursor of the town of Shariz, capital of the Sarranid Sultanate 173 years later as featured in Mount & Blade: Warband.
Description[]
The city known today as Charas is traditionally reckoned to be the first Calradian colony on the shores of their new continent. At the Empire's height, when the capital moved north to Paravenos, Charasea remained a key hub of sea-faring and trade, while imperial aristocrats built their summer homes on the warm shores of the nearby gulf and cruised their pleasure-boats around its islands. When the Vlandians came, Charas fell into the hands of the ruthless House of dey Cortain, and its wealth funds their ambitions.
Territory[]
The villages belonging to Charas are Savinth and Vesin, however the castle-bound village of Usanc also does its primary trade here.
The town of Charas is the southernmost town of Vlandia lying south of the Epiric mountains.
Points of Interest[]
Like most towns in Calradia, the town has a number of facilities and points of interest:
- By taking a walk through the streets you may encounter town notables looking for employees for various quests and jobs.
- The keep, where the nobles reside and its dungeon where any prisoners will be located.
- An arena where you might practice combat, participate in tournaments and pay the arena custodian to reassign character perks.
- A tavern, where you might rest and enjoy food and drinks. You may encounter Wanderers here to hire as Companions, or find Mercenaries for hire. Taverns also hosts patrons like Ransom Brokers, buying any prisoners your party may hold, and those who might be interested in playing the local board game.
- A market to buy and sell food supplies, equipment, horses and other livestock.
- A smithy to forge new weapons.
- Criminal gangs may be present at different locales such as the Backstreet or Waterfront.
Economy[]
Nothing is currently known about the economy.
Trivia[]
- The village of Tubilis across the Gulf of Charas in Aserai territory mentions in its Encyclopedia article that the gulf's name in Aserai is the Gulf of Shariz. This fact further reinforces the theory that Charas and Shariz are the same settlement in different time periods.
