Salador is a city in the of the Kingdom in the East. The Duchy of Salador is the the third most powerful duchy in the East whose central city is the second largest city in the Kingdom after Rillanon.
Salador is a very cosmopolitan city with a mixed population of peoples. Salador is the vital gateway from the mainland to the coasts of the Kingdom, Roldem, the Eastern Kingdoms, the eastern half of Kesh, etc.
The first inkling the peoples of the Kingdom had of the existence of Rifts was a man who appeared in Salador twenty years before the first Riftwar.
This man spoke no language known and was also dressed in an unknown fashion. He was hopelessly mad and never could speak a word that could be understood. The temples invested much time on him but never discovered his origins. After the first Riftwar, Laurie of Tyr-Sog was named Duke of Salador by King Lyam.
Description[]
Salador is the largest Kingdom city after Rillanon and the third most powerful duchy in the East. It is the most popular port to take to access the Western Realm and has a mixed population. [1]
History[]
A legend spoke of an alien man who appeared suddenly and inexplicably in Salador, which event was remembered around the Riftwar. Nothing is known about that man who spoke no known language, although the priests tried to determine his origins; this memory was the first inkling about the rifts. [2]
Duke Borric and his retinue stopped by Salador on their way to Rillanon, to warn the Kingdom of the impending war, and were hosted by Duke Kerus.
Later in the conflict, Duke Kerus was executed by King Rodric, on suspicion of treason, and was replaced by Lord Richard of Dolth. He was killed shortly and the dukedom was left lordless for a while. [3]
King Lyam awarded the dukedom to Princess Carline and Laurie of Tyr-Sog before they were married. The line became the "Du-Salador" line. [4]
