Founded on the 22nd of Daedalan, 623 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire, '''Targossas''' is the city of Good. Heralded as the Dawnspear, its foundations were laid by the [[Bloodsworn Gods]] Themselves as They embedded the legendary [[Sword of Dunamis]] into the bank of the Zaphar River. This act created a new branch now called the [[Silverveil River]], which runs to the east coast south of [[Delos]] and through the newly formed archipelago that makes up the city as it stands today. | Founded on the 22nd of Daedalan, 623 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire, '''Targossas''' is the city of [[Good]].

An array of ministers report to the Dawnlord and see to the smooth running of the major functions upon which every city-state relies. The city is, as [[Shallam]] was before it, a theocracy, its citizens trusting to their Gods to guide and to lead them. | ||

Targossian policy is noted for its "city first" integrity. All citizens are also members of its three Houses - The [[Dawnblade]], [[Luminai]], and [[Harbingers of Redemption]]. No ties to foreign powers are permitted of those who dwell within those hallowed halls. As the scion of Good, Targossas shares Shallam's former antipathy for [[Evil]], [[Chaos]] and [[Darkness]]. Aggressively stamping out these forces features prominently in Targossian civic life. | |||
