Breath deep the warm, salty sea air; all around you tower stone buildings delicately crafted over the centuries. With wide plazas housing open air markets, quaint walled gardens and cozy verandas. The capital and home of the strong and brave sea-fairing men; Onnda is a friendly labyrinth of crowded streets and canals.
Watch your step as narrow paths and bridges cross the deep water trenches that weave throughout the city. Straddling the Etsir river, this bustling port welcomes all races by boat, horseback or on foot.
Take the ferry up river to the Palace island. A small island in the center of both the city and the river is home to the royal family. The sprawling marble residence to her Magesty, Queen Rhandir and her royal entourage. All visitors to the palace are greeted at the dock by Ghanda, a lanky, man of many years with light wisps of white hair crowning his head.
You are lead to an oppulant courtyard. Ornate planters line the ivory colored patio filled with brilliant and fragrant flowers. At the far end of the courtyard is an embroidered silk canopy with two high backed and delicately carved thrones. One is occupied by The Queen while the second awaits any worthy male to fill it. As of yet, none have passed her Magesties scrutiny.
Kneel before The Queen of Onnda, Her Magesty Rhandir welcomes you!
