"THIS. THIS IS MY CITY." The herald spoke, and he looked you in the eye. He grinned and rolled a map open. He was going to tell you about Delfia and it's city, it's history and it's news. He was the mouth of the High Inquisitor, what didn't he know? "BEHOLD." img362.imageshack.us/my.php?image=delfia2so6.jpgYou're amazed! In shock! You look him in the eye and tell him you've never seen such a detailed map of Delfia (Delphia) in your life. He smiles at your sweettalking and bows his head lightly. He is a humble person, albeit one who could kill you whenever he wanted. You do notice that it seems to be drawn with a pen. And rather sloppy. But you keep that to yourself, since you don't want to die. He keeps smiling and speaks; "NOW, I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE WITH THIS MAP AND THE DOCUMENTS PROVIDED. BROWSE THEM, READ THEM, STUDY THEM. YOU MUST KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS GLORIOUS CITY. SAINT ELIMINE WOULD'VE WANTED IT." With that, he leaves and you may begin your reading. You are a scholar, you like to learn and you will.

DOCUMENT #1.
Delfia.
Our glorious city, one of the largest in Elibe, a city of believers, true of heart and sharp of mind. Led by The Prophet, the priests and the faith in our beloved Saint Elimine. It has been founded by this legendary woman and has been blessed with her appearance only recently. She showed us the true light, appeared for The Prophet and the believers, triggering the removal of the Last Tiran and the noble who supported hem. Infidels, heretics, they burned. The eastern part of the town is the oldest part, the western part is quite new. In the north-eastern part of the city are the slums, nonetheless this place does contain proud citizens of Delfia, who are just not as fortunate as others. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, Saint Elimine blesses them all, as long as you believe.
T.H.
DOCUMENT #2.
The Royal Palace.
This place, who only has two floors, and a cellar, was the palace where the old Ruler of Etruria resided. A false title, truely beloning to the Prophet, a mighty man who is stronger and mightier than any of the past kings and queens, with the exception of Saint Elimine herself, bless her.
In front of the palace is the Ceremonial Ground. In earlier times, this square indeed was used as a Ceremonial Ground, but after the leave of the Last Tiran, as we label the traitor, it has become a ground for justice and Markets every two weeks. The houses surrounding the Market belong to richer people from the aristocracy. Most of them fled together with the traitor, but the true zealots, stayed and supported the Prophet.
The Palace itself is completely abandoned, everything of value has dissappeared and there might be plans to break it down and build new barracks, to support our troops.
T.H.

DOCUMENT #3.
The Watchpost.
Situated in the eastern part of the city, the oldest part of the city. It was the first castle of Delfia, the place were the old prisons were and the first stronghold against bandits, invaders, etc... Now it's a fortified place, called The Watchpost since it watches over the eastern part of the city. Let there be no doubt, aggressors will be caught by the elite guarding this castle.
T.H.
DOCUMENT #4.
The Park is rather new and only accessible through high steel gates, constantly guarded. It is now a place of peace for priests and true believers. Only the ones who can show true faith in Saint Elimine and The Prophet will be allowed here. Very exclusive place.
T.H.
DOCUMENT #5.
The Archery is a rather strange name, since it isn't an archery at all. It's a watchtower, a bit bigger than most, completely round, situated on a hill, surrounded by a big plain. The plain itself filled with traps, spikes and pits. It's called the Archery because the tower is filled with archers and mages who will kill anyone trying to reach the tower without permission. It's one of the places that will be the hardest to take in case of an attack. Not that any enemy will be able to penetrate our defences. The outer wall should suffice; it has been heightened and barricades, leather hides, extra patrols, resting places and beds are added everywhere. Wooden constructions to drop stones at attacking enemies are added everywhere as well.
T.H.

DOCUMENT #6.
The High Inquisitor's Residence is the best guarded place in the whole known world and probably beyond. Elite guards, true apostles of the true faith, have put their heart and soul into the defence of this place. The castle itself once belonged to the Marquess, who had been a loyal supporter of Saint Elimine for years. Her money, her belongings, were all given to the Prophet after her dead. We still regret her passing everyday. The castle itself has been improved since then. It has higher walls, thicker walls, stronger walls. It has a bigger capacity and it has been known to be untakeable. The last siege of this castle ended in a crushing defeat for the opposing army. One must be grateful that a place like this exists, so that our Prophet can sleep in peace and not be bothered by the few heretic rogues. This place is our stronghold and our holiest ground, since the tomb of Saint Elimine is inside these walls. Some pilgrims are allowed to see the grave, where Saint Elimine has been elbalmed and where we pray every day for her, hoping she would grace us with her presence once more.
In front of the Prophet's Residence is the execution grounds. In the years of darkness and corruption of the mind, a lot of men and women had to been cleansed of their sins. The fire burned away their sins and put their minds at rest in a far better afterlife. It's not commonly used anymore, Delfia has become a holy city and purging of the infidels has started in other places. These grounds are now mostly used for the Herald's announcements. He speaks for the Prophet, who is humble and although he has great plan's for us, chooses to speak through the Herald. They are our saviours.
