It | '''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. | |||

The people of Petra | 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. | ||
