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 is ruled by Batlin Karrella, who spends his time locked away in his keep.

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.

Inhabitants

The inhabitants of Petra are primarily farmers, though a few foreign traders and travelers can often be found in the local inn. Notable inhabitants of the village are:

Culture

The people of Petra live 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 are ruled by Batlin Karrella, a secretive, private leader who keeps himself locked away in his castle, the Sangre Keep. The Petrans are 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. A few rabbits and other rodents make their homes in the fields, occasionally helping themselves to the crop.
