Taren



Taren, the city of the moon.

Taren is located in Dagnia, in the province of Aelvale. It is located south west of Aldor, of which lies in the center of Alevale. Like most of Alevale, It is surrounded by extensive forests, and the climate is chilly, enough so that most residences of Taren wear warm clothing.

The city houses two mercenary guilds which are famous in the area. The two guilds also offer the services of their open inns, free for clients. Needles to say these two guilds are what keeps the town up.

The people are afraid to come out, because of the wild monsters which are concentrated in this area. As a matter of fact, traveling to Taren is done only during daytime, while during the night, guards scatter around it's walls on constant shifts.

Economy
Taren bases its economy around the strong competition between the two mercenary guilds and the profit from the high bounties, often picked by either of the two guilds. These two guilds are known for their power and numbers over most of Southern Dagnia, they are said to be even better than some of the Aldor guilds.

History
Taren was founded relatively early, around 70-80 years ago. Its founders were hunters who were lead by a minor noble of that time. The city was born eventually from the need of the hunters to protect themselves from the beasts dwelling around Taren. That is, while such beasts are not very large and monstrous, they are known as aggressive and above all intelligent. In the presence of guards though, attacks are rare.
