Twin Dagger Cities

The Twin Dagger Cities is both the title given to the geographical region of the sister cities Kalan and Klortho as well as to the cities when referenced collectively. The region is bordered by the mercenary city of Urach to the north, by the Dragon Mountains to the west, and by the dwarven Kingdom of Moradin to the east.

The titular cities are the largest in the region, and serve as seats for two kingdoms that share their name and have, at varying times, been the strongest of allies and the fiercest of warring foes. Bordered by sheer cliffs and the ocean on two sides, and by plains on the others, the two cities are directly connected by one road traveling through a small forest. The forest contains one lone 'checkpoint', a shared ceremonial gate staffed by soldiers from both cities.

In addition to the two major cities, several smaller villages and towns dot the landscape, nearly all of whom have sworn fealty to one (or both) of the Twin Dagger Cities, and some of which serve as loyal vassals.

The Twin Dagger Cities once belonged to one kingdom under the leadership of a single ruler, though they split into two separate kingdoms ruled by his sons. A peculiar lineage would follow, with each king reliably having several daughters and a male heir who would inherit the throne. This line of succession would continue unmarred until the deaths of the two reigning kings and the Queen of Kalan in 1000 SEoP, leaving both cities on the hands of the Queen of Klortho and her unborn heir.

An uneasy peace currently lingers over the Twin Dagger Cities, with the Queen's attempts to consolidate power having been tested by an agitated nobility eager for power. The recent birth of a male heir to the Queen looked to further muddy the waters regarding any potential war of succession; however, the child manifested unnatural growth and talents... and appears to have designs of his own.
