 |**Symbol**:| A masted ship which rests in the watery foreground of a busy city harbor. At the edge of the water, towering over the city, is the majestic silhouette of a male statue. In his outstretched hand he holds a glowing orb leading the ship home to its harbor. Cast in the twilight sky is a crescent moon flanked by five glittering stars.| |**Symbol**:| A masted ship which rests in the watery foreground of a busy city harbor.

 |**Political ties:**| Following the loss of its strongest alliance upon Daggerdale's destruction, Torm has restored a degree of its alliance with the merchants now in charge of Shadow city, and maintains friendly relations with [[antioch|Antioch]]. It has recently gained a small number of trade agreements with [[kinaro|Kinaro]], following the migration of some of Daggerdale's merchants to within its gates. Its hostilities with [[tonovi|Tonovi]] have cooled, given so long since the war, but there are still no trade relations or other alliances.| |**Political ties:**| Following the loss of its strongest alliance upon Daggerdale's destruction, Torm has restored a degree of its alliance with the merchants now in charge of Shadow city, and maintains friendly relations with [[antioch|Antioch]].

-Eira of Thorm 
  
 It is publically held that Eira Eriksdotter, only heir to the throne of Thorm, was lost at sea in 667SG during a political envoy to Asgard, along with her mentor and advisor to the king, Thaonllae of Akh'ketonn. The temple has reason to believe, however, that the elves of Akh'ketonn gained advance knowledge of the intended fall of the royal line, and had the child removed to a safe location before she could be dealt with as intended. No word has since come of her whereabouts, if indeed she still lives, and no attempt has been made by her or her elven allies to restore the throne of Thorm. This matter has been kept classified, to avoid any rebellion by the citizenry or attempts by 'goodly' folk to attempt to locate and restore the royal line. It is publically held that Eira Eriksdotter, only heir to the throne of Thorm, was lost at sea in 667SG during a political envoy to Asgard, along with her mentor and advisor to the king, Thaonllae of Akh'ketonn.

 Thaonllae, out of loyalty to the king and his line, has been protecting Eira and her half-elven daughter Liana ever since. A recent plot (update - 17 Plantingdays, 724SG) saw Umzuzalil overthrown and Liana placed upon the throne, hopefully to restore the once-glorious city of Torm. Thaonllae, out of loyalty to the king and his line, has been protecting Eira and her half-elven daughter Liana ever since.

-In 757 SG, an assassination attempt was made on Liana in her chambers by a close confidant, Archmage Lorian Gage. The Archmage turned out to be a demonic creature, built for assassination and subterfuge, disguised as her old friend. Her life was saved by the heroic deeds of a Kitsune named Amwuru and a Half-Elf named Uriah. +=== The Rise of Cevahir in Torm ===
-===== NPCs of note =====+
  
-==== Raccoon ====+During the long night, in the wake of the rising of Ashra in 751 SG, a series of attacks took place on the city of Torm, from the sea, by hosts of undead pirates. One of these hosts was led by a powerful demon. It is here that we first hear the name Cevahir when a man named Tomas of Torm, known as the Singing Soldier, began to chant lines of the Prophecy of Night and Light which heralded her appearance in the world. The man's singing took on magical quality and emboldened those around him to fight harder. In the end, they were able to defeat this menace from the sea. 
 + 
 +Late in 751 SG a Nightwalker from the necropolis of Nurval made its way towards Torm to lay waste to the city. This creature was held at bay by several intrepid heroes: The Archdruid Rheyn, Edryk the Deva, Xantheous, and the mysterious wizard Kail fought of wave after wave of the undead and eventually faced the Nightwalker itself, holding it back long enough for the citizens of Torm to safely escape into the city. The Nightwalker, and its horde turned towards an easier target in Tonovi. 
 + 
 +Although many Torm citizens still worship Lysara, Cevahir has become something of a patron deity of the city. Many songs and poems have been written to her glory as she is now seen as a protector.

-The one surviving member of a horrible game where children were trained to kill children, Raccoon was saved by the Scooby gang. He is now a very well respected member of the local thieves guild, and leads a small gang of 10-20 street children, "the city born" (CG/CN).
