Droburg¶
Droburg is "one of the oldest settlements in the area, it is an expansive city-state that has been around since the days of the Dark Sun. It has excellent defenses and is nestled in the hill country with plenty of water and fertile lands. It is known for its craftsmen, spices and beer. Ruled by a Merchant Council" (S319). It is counted among the Riven Kingdoms. The Sanctuary Age timeline names "Droburn" among the nations "rebuilding and prospering" around the Broken Sea in the first years after the Age of the Dark Sun (S326), taken here for the same city.
Government¶
The Merchant Council is a Factions matter; the sources say no more of it than its name (S319).
Later history¶
In the Proturan reckoning Droburg was one of the last northern kingdoms standing in the Second Araxian War. The front "had mostly stabilized ... in the south along the borders of Lorsythe and Droburg. The Lorsythe lines broke unexpectedly and the entire kingdom fell within two years. Droburg held on for an additional two. Refugees from the two kingdoms were absorbed by Proturas. The war ended with the scorching of the south. The Proturan brigades waged a successful counterattack and scorched earth strategy leaving many former territories of the northern kingdoms of Lorsythe and Drobur cursed and blighted" (S107). Ruins of Droburg lie with those of Lorsythe, Dalmar and Athagilion in the Baegor Chain of the Rift (S066).
In Play¶
The Sancturi Campaign's notes name Droburg once, as a destination after Athagilion (S179).
Gap
No source gives Droburg's population, its patron god, its laws, or where in the hill country it stands relative to its neighbours.
