Franlius
One-time stronghold of a powerful southern Cineran warlord, Franlius was razed by the famous Iridine Consul Hadrios Calsuan. What's left is no more than a border town and military fort on the edge of tension. Much of the population is somewhat transient, people who recently walked away from their harsh Cineran lives and came to find better ones in the Republic.
Iridine's wars have a history of plaguing this place. In 100-109YP War Against Amerton at Franlius: The Senate received word that the powerful Southern Cineran Warlord Amerton I at Franlius was planning to escalate incursions into Iridine into an actual war. Moving swiftly, the legions worked in concert to lay siege to Franlius. Legio II maintained the siege while Legio I, led by Consul Altaran Calsuan, prevented reinforcements and supplies from reaching the beleaguered stronghold. The residents, driven by hunger and plague, finally opened the gates to the Iridine legions. Franlius was razed and its population sent to Cinera, causing an outbreak of plague in that land.
Iridine had been fighting a growing border war around this town led by both Legios I and II. Hardy soldiers were always found to be marching to the Harbor of the Moons on their way to the Field of Franlius. (Franlius release announcement)
In the 302nd Year of the Republic, during the month of Ereal, Franlius was flooded. While many were able to escape in ships or swept away to safety, several soldiers and civilians were still lost.
Years later, during the 315th Year of the Republic, whispers began circulating in every nearby port, with mention of a colossal storm disrupting shipping routes around Franlius. Many old sailors told their stories, warning of old magic. Near Blackvine, it is discovered that the Aestivans miraculously drained the water from Franlius, ascending the lost town from its sunken depths. The Aestivans scramble to recover and continue along with their mission. The undead have risen and begun their attack on the town of Franlius, the city is in shambles. High winds and deadly swarms of rotting corpses now roam freely in certain areas.
