Perched on the edge of the Andonia Sea, Chitobe is a town that thrives on the tides of commerce and diplomacy. With the older of the Twin Sister islands serving as its sentinel, the town is a bustling port that stands as a neutral ground between the warring empires of Jazirah and Irna. Ships from both empires dock here, their cannons silent, their sails furled in a rare truce. The air is thick with the scent of salt and spices, and the marketplace is a cacophony of languages and cultures. Beyond the docks, fields of grain and orchards stretch out, adding another layer to the town's prosperity.
At the helm of this intricate dance of trade and politics is Chieftain Lekan Jengo, a middle-aged Human male with a keen intellect and a diplomatic demeanor. His wife, Seraphina, is a Human female who runs a school for the children of Chitobe. Together, they have eight children, each pursuing different interests, from maritime law to agriculture.
Under Lekan's leadership, three major businesses have become the pillars of Chitobe's economy:
Lekan's inner circle includes his chief advisor, Varian Wyrmbane, a wise male Dragonborn skilled in international relations, and his bodyguard, Soren Vipercoil, a formidable male Tabaxi trained in various combat styles.
In Chitobe, the complexities of geopolitics are distilled into a community that thrives on cooperation and mutual benefit. It's a place where empires lay down their swords to pick up their scales, all under the watchful, diplomatic eyes of a leader who understands the delicate balance of power and peace.
