The Village of Petra
Leader	The Superintendent

This article is about the village of Petra. For Queen Petra, see Petra (queen).

Petra is a small farming community on the edge of the Sangre plains just east of Ashtan. It was ruled by Batlin Karrella, who spent much of his time locked away in his keep. The Baron died suddenly of illness one day before a woman named Sarranda appeared, claiming that he had quietly married her just prior to his death. The former aristocrat fell in league with the vampiress Belladona before draining the village resources (and life energy) in her bid to claim the centuries-empty throne of the Bastion of the North. After her defeat the dead village became a home for transients and bums.

It was not until the 650s that hope appeared in the form of a young vagrant called only the Superintendent. With help from a local tinker and a few acquaintances, he auctioned off salvaged goods from the Karrellan Estate to fund renovations of the inn and begin revitalization of the northern village.

Geography

Located on the western edge of the Sangre plains, Petra is a prime location for farming. It is also quite close to the city of Ashtan, making it an important ally for the city during the Vertani conflict.

Former Inhabitants

Although Petra is overrun with shiftless vagrants now, the former inhabitants of Petra were primarily farmers. A few foreign traders and travellers could often be found in the local inn. Notable previous inhabitants of the village included:

Inhabitants

Amongst vagrants and travellers, a few have populated Petra to make it their home, ekeing out a living in the previously empty village. Notable inhabitants of the village include:

Janice, a tired looking harlot
Jaysen "Cookie" Cookstead
Lacey Dix
Lisel Dradel
The Superintendent
Rennit Dradel
Tinker Drucker

Culture

The people of Petra lived simple lives, working away at the fields growing crops such as wheat and corn. A few traders from other villages make their way to the town, and stay in the Horseshoe Inn, the only business in town. The Petrans were ruled by Batlin Karrella, a secretive, private leader who kept himself locked away in his castle, the Sangre Keep. The Petrans were also known for their role in the Vertani conflict, when they supplied soldiers to their allies in Ashtan.

Flora and Fauna

The only plants of note in Petra are those grown by the local farmers. Corn and wheat make up the vast majority of the village's crops. Petran starlings, rabbits, and other rodents make their homes in the fields, occasionally helping themselves to the crop.
