This week in the development of The Cities of Teris we began implementing the story of Sarrissa, a city whose commerce is based entirely on the beautiful flowers that grow in the city as well as the fields to the north of town.
Morgan, the mayor of Sarrissa, has reached out to kingdoms far and wide to ask for assistance with their plea, the flowers are wilting, and the city will die if they cannot restore their abundant flower trade.
You have arrived from Caria, a far off crumbling city across the sea, hoping to establish a relationship with the city of Sarrissa, to help the dying city so that they may one day help the crumbling city.
Upon your arrival Morgan informs you things are even worse than they appear. Not only have the flowers wilted, spiders have begun attacking their trade carts & townsfolk as they travel along the roads. Moral in the community is low, and Kenneth, the head of the guard, has had to move the town guard into the forests to protect the town from the forest's new inhabitants.
The situation has got so bad that the city is now importing flower seeds from other kingdoms with which they had previously sold them, the food supply is low, and Andronovo, their biggest customer, has cut off all contact with the little town.
Join us in the Cities of Teris to uncover the mysteries of Sarrissa, as you delve into the ancient conflict between Gnomes & Human's that gave the city the reputation as the City of Flowers, and why the city has never been able to grow food since the conflict ended.
