Redemption

    Redemption is an isolated town that sprawls throughout the Zelmbring River Valley from its headwaters marked by the ancient castle of Zelmbring north for about half a mile.  A deep pond marks the center of the town where the town's most prominent establishes exist.  The town's structures are a combination of elven tree houses and standard wood and stone ground structures interspersed with the vast ironwood trees of Tanglewood.
    This town was originally the Elven Hamlet of Zelmbring protected by the castle Zelmbring.  It is the birthplace of Visaria Ijoynvaeh Random, the empress of The Almebezbikian Empire and deity of the Almebezbikian Pantheon known as Visaria the Beneficent.  When Visaria ascended into the pantheon, her center of worship established itself in the castle and the growing community was renamed Redemption.
