Freya

"If you want to see the boons and banes of zealous devotion and blind trust, look no further than the City of Fire.

The City of Fire. The Volcanic Town. The Nest of the Phoenix. Freya's many nicknames stem from the fact that it is one of the most well-known cities in Laryia. And its all due to its treacherous locale. Built into, on and around the lava-spitting hellhole that is the Ember Mountains, Freya's brilliant white marble and beautiful architecture shines like a diamond amidst ash. Yet, for all its wonder, it is far from a welcoming town. The intense heat and smog-filled air makes habaitation hard if one isn't born into it. While the religious citizens, who some might call zealots, guard the upper most reaches of the city. And the roads which leads up to the Northstar Temple; a place that hold the namesake relic. With some of the most fearful and powerful Welders and Infernos in the land, disobeying the rules is a surefire way to get smited with ruthless judgement. So unfriendly are the people, some can't help but wonder if they even want outsiders in their lands. To which those familiar with Freya will give a very simple answer.

They don't.
