Prince Vincente
Ellisa Rihdana
The Western Continent which holds within its boundaries many Kingdoms, fiefdoms, and Territories can be reached from Rhy'Din's continent and other lands several ways, the most common of course being by sea and the most frequent stop for that on the continent is of course the Oreitheldarin port of RoseHaven in RoseHaven Bay. There are other methods of travel into Oreitheldarin however, some magical and some mundane. The one that concerns the Free City of Brithiach is the Ferry, and it has been both boon and bane to those that live there.
Brithiach grew up around the ferry point some years ago and serves a dual purpose, in that it gives travelers a place to stay and it keeps unwanted folk from traveling into the closed Territory of Sogno Grigio. A certain fronteer lawlessness was the order of the day for many years and bribery was the way that much of the government of Brithiach went about its business. On at least one occaision an enemy army paid its way into the Western Continent via a hefty bribe to the then mayor Armand Thel.
All of this changed a decade ago with the arrival of Prince Vincente. A Warlord Prince from a far away land many underestimated him because of his physical beauty. Hair of gold and bright blue eyes and a face that a statue would weep over, yet he held within him the sort of Power that kept the Sogno Grigio Territory safe and closed. He was not of their legendary and frightening Black, but he was close enough with his Ebon-Gray and there came to be those that were as he was, Blood that followed him.
Deciding that perhaps it was true that 'tis better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven, he cleaned up much of the lawlessness and with the ruthlessness of his Warlord Prince nature claimed the city and the Territory surrounding the Ferry as his own. At his side there is now a gentle Healer named Ellisa, one of the winged Eyrien people. Prince Vincente does not rule with an iron fist but it is well known that to challenge him is to invite a fate that would make Darkness weep.
Brithiach is home to many Taverns and Innes, including The Mirthful Warlord and The Queen's Jewel. As a way-point between continents there is a large mobile populace of traders, caravaners, and other merchant folk who often gather there along with gypsies and other itinerant peoples. Brithiach is also one of the few places where the people of the Territory of Sogno Grigio come to trade. Many exotic goods pass through its fabled open market, though the former expansive slave trade was put to a stop by Prince Vincente.
