~Sevadia~
Gertea--- Gertea is a rough and tumble sort of seaside port town. It is the very center of the Narvinye black market for dangerous and powerful items. Many shady things go on in Gertea for it is where the most dangerous sort of people reside. Pirates enter port constantly with loads upon loads of supplies and rare items aboard to be sold in the bazaar of Gertea. This is a town of the rogues; no one enters the gates of this town without leaving changed in some way. And as it is always said in Gertea, always guard our purse and your blade, for you never know when you may desperately need it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Atazoth---Atazoth is the prized gem of the desert realm. It is a great city of past royalty and riches. Not to mention that the fabled Oasis of Ramora is situated here, making it quite the city. This ancient city is also where the Elve'ron Order meets every few weeks to discuss the direction to take their world in next.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Parem---Parem is a mid-sized town that is the main supplier of crops to the rest of the world. Using an elaborate system of irrigation channels in their fields and the mass about of flat land on the western side of the Devagadra Mountains, Parem is a large supplier of crops, spices and other food stuffs to the rest of the world.
*******************
Landmarks
The Ramora Oasis---This natural phenomenon is known as the Deserts Gem. A moderately sized lake of pure untainted water is situated near the southern end of Atazoth. The Oasis is a landmark that baffles many for none can being to understand how this standing body of water never goes dry or ever becomes clouded by the pollutants of the city. There are those that think that perhaps ages ago a Novus or Anierian brought the spring that feeds the lake to life and set upon it many enchantments that would keep the water pure and always forth coming.
The Devagadra Mountains--- This impressive range is decorated with an array of spiky crags and spires. It is an impenetrable wall of stone that separates the town of Parem from the rest of Sevadia. Most of Parem's supplies and products have to be sent vie caravan around the southern end of the range or by merchant vessel in the western sea.

~Within Atazoth's marketplace, Azure had been seen. He was walking ever so calmly as he gaed over the many shops of the venders of the city, particularly the weapon shops and black smiths. He was in no rush, but at the same time, he did not wish to be late. His wardrobe was proof enough of the reason for his visit to this city. He was a part of the Order who were soon to arrive to discuss the usual topics of the world, which included Crime Rates, Economy, Trade, and alliances between the Clans. This particular man bore the Garments of the Matanuska. They were known throughout the Realms as Freelancers. They bore no allegiance to any one nation, but they were not a clan to turn away from a battle, nor would they betray their clients. As he continued to walk through the marketplace, he took a turn down an alleyway, his eyes caught the attention of a few thugns following him. It was after they turned down the same alley, that they realized he was gone.
Before they could react however, they found themselves blessed with the gift of pain as the bones in their arms and legs were broken by an unseen force. It was then that Azure reappeared and gazed down at his stalkers, with eyes that did not approve of their actions. He has spared their lives, but the pain they were experienceing was proof enough that he would not be so generous the next time.~
Uuma ma' ten' rashwe...Ta tuluva a' lle. stare (Don't look for trouble....It will come to you.)
~Azure exitted the alley and signalled to the Magistrate patrolling to arrest the five of them. He then made his way toward the inner city where the meeting wold be taking place. He was to meet with a close companion of his, and from there they would continue on to the meeting.~

It had not taken long for the Iliriya along with their new allies to reach Atazoth in order to attend the council meeting that was due this week. Four of the group that rode into the entrance square of the desert city were hooded and cloaked, one of which was clearly azerian while the remain three appeared to be of different origins.
"Kyrion." Issildia stated as she drew back the cowl of her cloak when they dismounted. "Go and see to our client, if he refuses...then deal with him as you see fit. And be sure to be at the Citidel within the hour for the meeting."
The azerian merely nodded before he disappeared into the ever moving crowd of people present in the square.
Issildia then gave nothing more than a brief look to the others of the Iliriya that had come along, before she to disappeared into the bustling crowd, obviously giving them leave to do as they wished until the meeting.

Ashrem watched Issildia dissipire into the crowed and looked about. Unlike many of the other Iliriya Ashrem stood out in a crowd. He looked about at the city and then to Satinka.
"want to find something to eat then?"

Looking relaxed as usual, Satinka cast an observant eye about her surroundings. She wasn't a fan of the bustling city life scene, but nonetheless, she tried to enjoy it.
"Sounds nice. Let's see what kinda of poison the infamous Atazoth has to feed us."

~Azure remained in the center of the city. He knew that someone would be coming to meet with him soon. He was standing near the water of the oasis, gazing down at his reflection. He could only see the beast lurking within him. After some time, he turned away from the water sensing a familiar aura. He then looked swept his cape to his rear, revealing a rather peculiar Katana, and awaited the arrival of his guide. This would be his first meeting with the council as his Clan had always remained neutral in the affairs of the world. He was curious as to who the other members of the council were but at the same time, he thought this was the best opportunity to scout his potential threats.~

Walking for a time with Satinka Ashrem looked about at some of the shops offering food, sneering at some and considering others he finally stopped at what appeared to be a small bustleing restruant of sorts. Walking inside he nodded his approval at the decor. Dark was the main word to discribe the place, After walking in you needed to actually wait for your eyes to adjust to the darkness of the place. After his eyes adjusted Ashrem headed over to an empty booth towars the back of the room, in one of the more shadowed, if possible, areas.
"This will do..."

Issildia had decided to go in Kyrion's place to meet with a certain person that had arrived in he city shortly before them...an old friend so to speak;
so she had sent the azerian on to deal with a particular client that had yet to repay the clan for their services some weeks ago...
~The oasis itself was slightly off to the west at the outer edges of the city, Issildia silently approached the crystalline waters, taking her time as she approached.
"So the Matanuska finally come to try their hand at the workings of this world." she said as she came to stand a short distance to the right of the man overlooking the oasis.
"Though I must say...diplomacy has never been one of your strengths Azure..."

((Azure says: I have returned to thee!!!!))
~Azure's eyes were closed and his arms crossed as he was approached by Issildia. Once she spoke to him, he remained motionless, except for the movememts of his lips as he spoke.~
I belong of the battlefield. Politics serve me no purpose. You of all people should know this.

"A fine choice."
Satinka followed Ashrem's lead, seating herself at the booth.
"They must be planning to recite the menu. Unless it's glowing on a wall somewhere."
She laughed. What could she say? At least this restuarant was unique, and Satinka did enjoy dark places.

Ashrem handed her a menue, the letters didn't glow but they had a silver hue to them so when you adjusted the angle of the menue itself the letters would show like they were reflecting light, but of no source that could be seen from where they sat. After a few moments of looking at the menu Ashrem called over a waiter and began to order.
"Wine, red, and I want the roasted Gil lizard with whatever is considerd the sause of the day... and the lady will have..."
He left the statement hanging as he looked over at Satinka waiting for her order.

"I'll have the garden variety stir fry with the side order of..."
She pointed to a fish-like creature in the picture on the menu
"..that. And some champagne please."
She turned her attention over to Ashrem.
"I wonder how many people are actually in here. My eyes have adjusted, but I still can't see much and the chatter is very low.....it's a nice place for privacy. They should hold the meeting here."

The waiter headed off to comply with their order Ashrem took a peice of bread from the basket the waiter left and took a bite looking about. Swallowing he looked back at Satinka.
"Not really, not enough people to hold something to importent as a meeting of our clan... thats the thing the more people, the more noise, and the more likely anyone listening in won't be able to hear... this place is nice but unsutiable for something like that... Stealth is more then just staying in the shadows... if your in a street in the middle of the day doing such conspicous things will actully draw more attation then just being one of the crowd..."
Finishing he took another bite of the bread then grabbed a knife and cut a slice of butter and started spreading it over the rest of the bread.

"Hmm, you think so?"
Satinka asked and sipped on the complimentary water. It had been several minutes no since the waiter had left. He could have at least returned to say it would be a while longer. If he didn't return soon, Satinka was going to float the next order that passed by right over to their table.
