Carabostos

"They left, damning us to this poverty. This is THEIR fault." - Carabostos villagers blamed the human exodus.



At a Glance
Located in The Land Across the Sea, Carabostos was a tough town of Fey-kin, notable for their focus on life's pleasures. With a small population, Carabostos' council long employed foreign workers to ensure the town's survival, allowing the Fey-elite to relax and pass duties to its labourers. In recent years, however, the exodus of humans to the Kingdom of Kirkdom and it's settlements meant that Carabostos began a sharp slip into economic decline, forcing its Fey-kin to again take up hard labour. This change from lounging to labour caused many Fey-kin to blame humans in general, and some of its Fey-elite (including the town's mayor) put out bounties on the scalps of humans near its borders.

History Founded after The Separation of the Elves, a large variety of Elves settled alongside the Goliaths, Hengeyokai, and Pixies native to the region, creating the town of Carabostos. With their numbers few, the first settlers worked hard to carve out a life for themselves, and over the generations their trails instilled a sense of weariness, leading to the hiring of human workers from across the region.

After the exodus of humans to Kirkdom, many in the city would hire bounty hunters and assassins to take revenge on the workers who left the city.

Religion
Many of the inhabitants of Carabostos prayed to Avandra, Goddess of Fortune. Being so dependent on trade and labour, many practicioners also combined their faith with Oghma, Goddess of the Harvest.

Political Structure
Carabostos was lead by a single mayor, noted for his reckless behaviour (strictly in the hiring of prostitutes).
