Vordia

Location overview

Vordia is a prosperous town with several hundred residents. Its buildings and windows display Cheliax and Asmodean symbols, and the inhabitants appear content in their daily activities. Vordia is home to the Bright Embers Orphanage, part of the Sisterhood of the Golden Arenas, an Asmodean order, which was established to provide care for orphans following the Goblinblood War. The orphanage is well-regarded by the townsfolk, who appreciate the work of its nuns.
Recent events include a visit from a Hellknight, after which the orphanage's nuns have rarely left. The Last Two Children at the orphanage were adopted shortly after this visit. Local teenagers who entered the orphanage on a dare reported experiencing strange lights and noises. After the party eliminated The Attic Whisperer, the eastern corridor doors opened abruptly, revealing a half-written letter indicating that the sisters had gone to the Lucent Mission on a task intended to bring glory to Asmodeus, and that the two remaining orphans had allegedly been adopted. The party reported the haunting and their findings to Vordia’s authorities, who expressed increased concern. They remained in Vordia for a day, selling recovered Asmodean goods, gathering information, painting Hellbreaker propaganda, and assisting with gardening. The painted walls sparked resentment among some locals, while others defended Cheliax and the orphanage. A thick fog enveloped Vordia the following morning before the party left for Fernsby.
