Verdan

Verdan shares its name with the dense forest it is perched on the edge off, just south of the Dragonstooth Mountains. The brass draconic elf Castien Toravar oversees municipal matters.

Its inhabitants are charged with defending the forest and the south from the creatures that might come down through the mountain pass to the north. Many followers of Obad-Hai, and druids of various backgrounds, flock to Verdan to offer their service to the forest and its creatures. As such, Verdan is a city which, while populous, is not very developed; the locals prefer instead to live as much in harmony with nature as they can. Toravar himself is a ranger, and makes certain that actions taken on behalf of the city are also taken on behalf of the world it is a part of.

Verdan is also the seat of regional governance for The Western Colonies, from whence rules Quirin Maugh, a copper dragon and the Metallic Pact's hand in the area. In truth, aside from wartime efforts and the gradual preparation of the Colonies' naval fleet, Quirin Maugh has little to do with the affairs of the region. Rather, her Minister of Agriculture, the human Suze Penchant, and Maugh's Chief Advisor, the elf Celamin Brightwind, handle the important business of maintaining the Western Colonies' prosperity.
