Saint’s Haven Reborn




Despair at the Castle


After many years of struggle, peace and prosperity finally came to Saint's Haven. With no threats on the horizon, the leaders of this fine city left it unprotected as they diverted forces to assist Loffy, the once Pirate King, in the search for his lost treasure. But while they focused on wealth and greed, an insidious evil was growing in the shadows...

With all the able-bodied men and women off adventuring on the high seas, there was no one to stop Ignacio and the Dragon Cultists from invading the city. Only a skeleton crew of guardsmen remained to keep the invaders at bay, so it took little effort for the Cultists to infiltrate the city from below while their dragon ally descended from above.

Even against overwhelming odds, the citizens of Saint's Haven stood firm, rallying about their Boy King with cries of "Death before dishonor!" and "Protect the King!" Despite their heroism, in the end it was Ignacio who forced them to bend the knee. With the city in ashes, the former bishop retrieved something precious from King Cassius, and made his escape atop a second dragon.



A City Rebuilt


Loffy was true to his word. Everyone who joined the Pirate King on his expedition was handsomely rewarded, but not without cost. Returning home, their high spirits were dashed when they laid eyes on the devastation and horror Ignacio and his cultists had left in their wake. What was meant to make these intrepid seafarers rich has now been put toward rebuilding Saint's Haven in an attempt to return it to its former glory.



Eternity and Beyond


The Royal Castle, the first structure to be rebuilt, has been erected in the north end of the city. Its basement can now be accessed via a new outdoor entrance, the perfect escape route in the event of a second invasion.

No longer just a simple garden, the Tower of Eternity has been relocated to the center of the Royal Castle. It has been rebuilt around a grand statue of the Goddess, and is symbolic of Saint’s Haven's rebirth. Travelers can climb to the top of the tower to experience a 360 degree vista of the kingdom's vast expanse.



Consolidated Marketplace


At King Cassius' command all Saint’s Haven shops have been moved to a central location in front of the city. This bustling new market is already thriving, and both Russell the storage keeper and Belin the blacksmith have seen stiff competition from newcomers. Guardsmen are now focused on one thing and one thing only: guarding. To help you get around town faster, Cassius has enlisted Portal Mages to take over the guards' former duties.
