Grand Serrin
Grand Serrin is a mining town lying between the provinces of two feuding noble houses, each with its own churches tied to the united church of Alarath.1
Between two houses
The town first belonged to House Salvador, a noble house that gave the church and the Empire great support during the First Underdark Conquest. The house lost its heir in that conquest and was left without a strong heir, its leadership falling to an old and grieving lord.1
Its rival, House Arvantess, took the opportunity to claim the region of Grand Serrin and the mines around the town. While the Salvador lord neglected his affairs, his land and people were robbed and bullied by bandits hired by House Arvantess.1
Marcus Gaius
Marcus Gaius, then a warrior priest of Alarath and a firm believer in a unified Empire, was sent to Grand Serrin. What he found there crushed his faith in the Empire's unity. Throughout the political struggle he stayed loyal to House Salvador.1
