The city of Varsi[edit | edit source]
Day-to-Day Details[edit | edit source]
The city consists of 2 distinct groups: the horse people of Marukan and the "northerner" inhabitants of the Grey River. It is a city that has an ancient lineage, but humble beginnings. The city began as a Summer House, with a low-level Manse sitting on a bend of the Grey River. The inhabitants call it the Northern and Southern rivers, or the White and the Black. The Trivarsi Manse provides light, heat and fresh produce all around the year, making this an excellent stop-off for the traveller going south to to the logging camps or north to Nexus or Lookshy.
Clothing[edit | edit source]
The Marukani typically wear chaps and light vests made out of leather. In the vinter they put on leather pants and a shirt, keeping their outer wear. Marukani have a equal society with men and non-childbearing women doing the same work. Children and the elder are put to work doing anything that doesn't require horse-riding. The "northerners" wear light wool clothing, with a mix of linen and broad-cloth. Equality is total, as this town was settled from Nexus, at the time of the Contagion.
Food, Drink and Mealtime[edit | edit source]
The food here is very varied: shellfish, meat and fish. Fresh fruit and vegetables around the year on account of the Manse, and spices pass through the town northwards. What is lacking are inns, as most people here are members of the Guild, or hired by local Families. Taverns are in abundance, as much of the social life is centered around the nightlife. Typical treats include the black & white clam in garlic, and other small dishes of many kinds, always served with a glass of the local wine.
Population[edit | edit source]
About 70 000 at all times, but more in the winter and less during the summer.
Animals[edit | edit source]
Outside the city proper, lots of Marukan guarding encampments with animals
