 Sanguine’s troubles continue. After the death of childless King Valdric, his general Iksandrian took the Sanguine throne and crushed the nobles who squabbled amongst themselves rather than opposing the army. These nobles now live in exile either in the countryside or as expatriates in other city-states.  Sanguine’s troubles continue.

-Some say the city-state was cursed by the temporary return of the dead god Alkir. Only the actions of whomever boldly stole the ancient Staff of Avanrakash from the dead king as he lay in state managed to save the poor peoples of Sanguine. However, Iksandrian and his lieutenants have done little to stop the lawlessness in the land as they consolidate their power and carry out death sentences on any who challenge the new regime. Bandits such as Karela the Red Hawk continue to raid freely, and the Sanguinites starve as few wish to venture far from the city walls. +Some say the city-state was cursed by the brief return of the dead god [[Alkir]].

 Wherever anyone goes, there is the smell of tension. The common tiefling folk mind their own business and quietly bubble with anger and discontent of their current state of being. The crest of the city is that of a jeweled staff over a cloud-covered mountain.  Wherever anyone goes, there is the smell of tension.

-The city is located just north of the Red River which flows another hundred miles through the plains and swamps to the sea in the east. Across the Bridge of Sorrows are the ancient shrines and tombs of Sanguine. To the north, the Mountain of Alkir is rumored to be the resting spot of the dead god of the same name. Much of the farmland that feeds the city lie to the west, now fallow as only those brave or foolish enough to face the lawlessness of the countryside work the land. Far to the west are the Anvil Hills which are riddled with mines made by centuries of industry. Farther to the northeast is the Corpse Forest, where some say a small army of bandits are building+The city is located just north of the Red River which flows another hundred miles through the plains and swamps to the sea in the east.
