A large, walled city on the Sea of Fallen Stars, South and East of
Zhentil Keep, that has recovered well from and even prospered after
the Time of Troubles. A godly battle during that period resulted in
the destruction of a large portion of the city, and left a very large
permanent dead magic area that extends from the north of the city.
Tantras is ruled by a High Council, a collection of local noble
merchant families plus the high priest of Torm. The Council provides
an invisible government, concentrating mainly on tariffs and merchant
laws and less on the thieves' guilds and adventurers. As a result, Tantras
is a rollicking, wide-open town, with only the more severe breaches of
courtesy and law bringing in the guard.
Tantras is dominated by the Temple of Torm's Coming, the center of Tormite
activity on the Sea of Fallen Stars and that faith's largest temple. It was
at Tantras that Torm perished defending his faith in a battle with Bane,
creating the great dead magic area that lies over the northern city.
