Sărata

The town where your adventure begins, home of the influential immortal Tarquinus Rareş (more commonly known simply as "Tarquin").

Sărata was once simply a small logging town in the North of Darkovia, located on the foothills of a relatively gentle mountain dubbed Mount Pletos, the Shaggy Mountain. Logs were transported to other parts of Darkovia and the sea via the river Lup. A few centuries ago, Tarquin swept into the area, had his second mansion built above the city on the mountain's slope, and had a vineyard planted. The vines were specially bred to resist the cold and the resulting wine has a very distinctive sweet and fresh taste. It became relatively famous outside of Sărata, usually served ice cold with citrus fruit and marketed as "Ice Wine". The influx of business this caused helped the town grow into a sizeable merchant town, exporting logs, furniture, musical instruments and Sărata Ice Wine to Thales and other parts of Darkovia. The town imports fine fabrics for a dedicated tailor to Tarquin's court and delicacies for his extravagant parties.
