Formerly known as Hegio, the capital of Dolac is home to the largest temple of Osprem in the world, maybe a little unexpected, considering the Sarodin Sea is 'just' an inner sea.

The city is run by the many guilds who have come, over time, to be quite good at compromises when it comes to how they want their city, and country, to be run.

A large part of the city is nothing but warehouses and at the docks you'll find the main offices of Hythe Maritime Services and many other shipping companies. The large merchant house can be found there as well.

The shipyards that Dolac is known for are almost all to be found down the Tal river, one or more days away from the city.

Locations

Happy Soles

Dolac is well-known for its shoemakers and this is the most popular shop in the city. They promise to provide you with better footwear than you have ever worn, and they usually keep their word. It can be found on Provender Way.

Pheld Ceramics

Started by the Pheld family over five centuries ago, these artisans are still at the top of their field. Quality comes first in every aspect and this is reflected in the prices. Still, demand for original Pheld far outstrips production.

Organizations

Sulla Arena

Bordering Sparrow Hawk Square in the Abrinol neighborhood, Ashy Arena is more popular than the Dolac character might suggest, weekly prize fights draw large crowds. Though the locals might not want to admit it, they can be a bloodthirsty bunch. The expansive training grounds are full of hopefuls who have come from near and far.

The Otteun Hetwoman, Mera Tellmacher, is short and squat but quick as water, she spent many decades honing her skills at the original Sulla Arena in Midtal.

Abjura Dolana

In the city of trade there is a higher than average demand for spellcasters and the lodge here is a sizeable one. They are housed in a monumental, stone building on the corner of Karmad Square and Grocer Street in the Uppark neighborhood, a typical example of early Miforan architecture.

A half-elf originally from Sormark, Maeras Shaeremae, is the Magister. She has a weak spot for bards and there are few nights she can't be found in one or more of the city's taverns. Three Sentinels serve under her. Phiceli Zercoderes is a gnome who has worked at every single lodge in the organization during her long career, she has decided to retire here. Knut "the Cute" Culler is from Loveria, which will not come as a surprise, and no one, except him, uses the ridiculous nickname he gave himself. However, no one can deny his skill at transmutation magic. Linca Rozic hails from Haza and she has an interest in dreams and oneiromancy.

Resa's Rest

Resa's Rest on Witter Street in the Gill Gardens neighborhood was the first brothel opened by the mysterious Resa. It took a few years before it became successful but once it did, they expanded to other cities at a rapid pace. Over the years they bought both neighboring buildings and the current place is as luxurious as they come, quite the opposite of the Dolac national character.

These days it is managed by Minoa Axel, an mid-thirties woman of classic beauty who used to work for Thal Lithel.

Temples

Osprem

Technically not in Avale proper but found next to Duneford, the Temple of Tidal Tranquility overlooks the Sarodin Sea. Built of bricks each individually glazed in different hues of blue, the substantial building is flanked by a tower containing a single, dolorous bell. The entrance is a grand archway carved in the likeness of a majestic seashell.

Master of the Waves Kaelen Canos is a charismatic diplomat and mediator.
