| - | The territorial capital of Tsiali, Blackwater sits nestled against a wide dark river which is its namesake. Governor Baraeal pays his taxes on time and nominally follows the demands of King Vecca, but has free reign to run the city as he pleases. People in the city’s streets talk openly, if quietly, of Governor Baraeals’ malicious nature and his fondness for drink and general apathy towards governance. This has led to rampant corruption at every level of government throughout the city, with only those who know how to grease the appropriate palms succeeding there.

It absorbs all light that touches it, and gazing on it gives the impression of being lost amid deep earth caves and cavern. Completely smooth to the touch, its purpose has long been forgotten to the whims of time. Some cults believe that the opening of the Iron Gate portends the coming of Arkon, the return of Astrea, and commencement of the prophecies of the end times. | + | A great black-iron gate in the deep badlands of Aesh's northern territory.
