Polem

One of seven lagoon city-states on Veile. It is not unusual to see images of idyllic Polem in frescoes or in the background of aristocratic portraits. Whereas Kylix preserves tradition through code and statute, Polem simply bleeds with Aurumel custom and history. Looking upon the orchards, vineyards, and pastures of Polem’s surrounding hills, evokes feelings of being in paradise.

Agriculture and wine production make the fields of Polem inseparable from notions of flowing bounty — and indeed, its fields provide food for Folk far from Veile. The Trader’s Guild and the House Urjax work as a two-headed serpent here, and nothing in the city is outside of their striking distance. The families that have been trading boons here for generations have made agreements and treaties that make Polem relatively safe. Its festivals, however, are notoriously dangerous.
