Kromato

Kromato is a fictional city that serves as a primary setting in the "Aura of the Ancients" tabletop role-playing game. It is depicted as a sprawling metropolis located on the eastern coast of the continent of Veridia. The city is known for its diverse districts, ranging from the bustling merchant quarter filled with exotic goods to the more somber and historically significant Old Town, where ancient ruins are a common sight.

Economically, Kromato thrives on trade and craftsmanship. Its port is a hub for ships arriving from distant lands, bringing with them rare resources and cultural influences. Artisans in Kromato are renowned for their skill in creating both practical tools and intricate works of art, often incorporating enchanted materials.

Politically, Kromato is governed by a council of elders, with representatives drawn from the city's most influential guilds and noble families. This system, while generally stable, is often subject to internal politicking and external pressures from neighboring territories. The city guard, known as the Emerald Watch, is responsible for maintaining order and defending Kromato from threats, both mundane and magical.

The lore of Kromato is deeply intertwined with the ancient history of Veridia. Legends speak of the city being built upon the ruins of a much older civilization, and remnants of this past can be found throughout its architecture and within its hidden catacombs. These ancient mysteries often serve as plot hooks for adventurers exploring the world of "Aura of the Ancients."
