Alcaine is the largest known city in Tryne. Alcaine is known as the 'all kaasht city'. Every type of kaasht is welcome in Alcaine. The city is divided into 13 different Sectors, each for a different type of kaasht. The city itself in a giant circle shape, with each Sector being like a spoke to a wheel. In the center of Alcaine is a huge building known as the Palace. The Palace is home to the 24 Elders that rule and regulate Alcaine. There are two Elders for each species of kaasht except for the Old Mystics, one female and one male. All Elders are older, at least a level 6, most higher. They rule everything from disputes to wars to theft. They are the ultimate rule in Alcaine. The Elder of each breed may or may not be a mated pair. When an Elder dies or decides to retire, the new Elder may be chosen from either one of the old Elder's children (if they had any old enough), another close relative, or from a responsible, distinguished kaasht from the city. Another thing in Alcaine is ale. This substance is new, but it is rapidly spreading throughout Tryne. A clever Valley Kaasht by the name of Tylis found out that if you let certain fruits or plants ferment that you got a strong substance that had an odd reaction to the body. Now ale is a highly sought after substance. The only place in Alcaine that sells ale at this point is a tavern called the Silver Moon Tavern. The Tavern is now a highly sought after place in which is in the outer center of Alcaine, where most of the inns and markets are. There are rules to Alcaine. The main rule is that no abilities are allowed to be used. Only in the Palace may abilities be used, and that is only by the kaasht who live there. The first offense of this rule is having a ward put on the kaasht and then having their tail removed. The kaasht of Alcaine are very serious about this rule. The next offense is death. If you don't get caught, you are fine, but guards constantly walk the streets. Another rule is theft. Theft, if caught, on the first offense, is having your ears cut off. The next offense is your tail with a ward, and the next and last is death. Third time is not the charm in Alcaine. There are of course other rules, most of which are common sense so I won't put on here. Remember, all kaasht are welcome in Alcaine. Fights are common and generally ignored as long as there are no abilities used. Enjoy your stay. |
