Arissa

Nestled at the base of the Marble Peaks, Arissa is a lively town of 1,112. It's most striking features are a large monument to the town's patron deity, Lekacia, and a marble statue of an armored warrior wielding a spear, claimed to be the original founder of the town. Another notable area is the Grotto of the Gods, a cave built into the side of the mountain used in rituals to many different gods. Townspeople and visitors can pay to have the image of their god hewn into the rock wall so that they can worship.

The town once supported over 2,000 people during Imperial times, but like most settlements it lost most of that during the cataclysm. Strong walls of marble from the nearby mountains still remain though, even if the city struggles to field the guards required to patrol its entirety.

The Shades is a stretch of the town in the shadow of the mountain. It is an area where the less fortunate denizens of Arissa eke out a living. It is also a haven for characters of ill repute.

Local Government
The government mainly consists of town hall meetings to make decisions. These meetings are generally attended by a small number of affected merchants and interested citizens, but particularly large decisions can draw nearly the entire town.

Mayor
The job of mayor is currently held by Martino Erasmos, a sociable man well liked by most of the townsfolk. He is known to be a jovial family man, and always looking for ways to improve the city.
