Cetara

Many centuries ago, when the Burning Times had engulfed Stavenn and magick users fell to the sword and the flame, several sidhe families of Stavennite nobles fled the city and formed a small settlement on Lake Tageen which became known as Cetara. The modern villagers of Cetara are descendants of the nobles as well as their servants and retainers. Although Cetarans have traditionally subsisted on fishing and some local crafting, they have retained the traditions of their ancestors.

The village is informally ruled by the witches of Cetara, as through the years the cult of the dark arts has become their sole domain. Until recently, a powerful spell maintained by the village's practitioners hid the settlement from the view of the world, although it appears they have long held a secret trade with the village of Annona. This relationship has, however, been one of necessity rather than friendship, as the darker Cetarans hold little but hatred for the simple farmers of the village.

Proud, arrogant, and often fairly surly, Cetarans hold a great deal of respect for dark magick and still consider themselves as having very strong ties to Stavenn despite their long isolation. Those traveling to the village must be careful not to become embroiled in the many mysteries and dark plots that simmer there, for the dark arts are alive and well in the shadowed streets of Cetara.
