Calabria Adventures

The currency of the city is the denar - the currency of the Rinaldi. Bartering is also an important part of Triskellian commerce - about a third of trade is conducted this way. Bartering is not limited to the poor, and even the richest families conduct business in this way. As the city observes the holy days of S’allumer, the exchange of money is forbidden within the city on the seventh day of every week. Another unique part of the Triskellian economy are the guilds which are privately owned and operated and have been governing the city for almost a century.

There are many languages, customs and religions mingling the within the city. The most commonly spoken language is Calabrese, and the most prominent church is S’allumer. A wide variety of people have come to the city, and you will be able to find anything here. All languages are spoken, different religions are practiced. If you need to find the best mage, the best thief or the best carpenter, you’ll be able to find them right here.

The Rinaldi are a family of vulpines who control much wealth and power. They claim to be the original inhabitants of Calabria. It is also said that they single-handedly defeated the Autarchs many years ago. They founded the city of Triskellian, the largest city in the entire island. Through clever trading and allegiances, the city has grown wealthy and sophisticated. The city has seen much, wars have been fought within its walls, scandals hidden away, years of great wealth and years of great poverty. But to this day, the Rinaldi continue to hold their power.

They are also responsible for one of the most prominent religions in the region - S’allumer. The story well known all around the island. It is said, during a deadly plague, a nurse of Don Rafael wandered the streets, covered by a brilliant white glow. She touched those she passed, curing them instantly from their disease. However, she was overcome with sorrow and helplessness, she knew she would be unable to save everybody so she begged the mysterious white light to take her life in exchange for the people of the city. The glow spread from her body, engulfing the entire city. Once all were saved, she collapsed and perished. This act brought about the religion of S’allumer - the life-giving luminance.

However, the Rinaldi are not without their problems. In recent years, rumours have spread about bickering between members of the family. They have also lost most of their power to the guilds who have gained much influence in recent years. However, they are far from powerless. They still hold a great deal of military might as well as great influence in the church.
