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
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.
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
At the north end of town in Pell Point neighborhood, stands the Temple of Tidal Tranquility, overlooking the Sarodin Sea. The entrance is a grand archway carved in the likeness of a majestic seashell. The main sanctuary is bathed in a soft, ethereal glow emanating from shimmering crystal formations embedded in the walls. The sacred pool can be found at the heart of the building.
Master of the Waves Kaelen Canos is a charismatic diplomat and mediator. His silver tongue and pragmatic nature make him a respected figure.
