From the journal of Ardebast Raconteur:

The crossroads at the centre. All paths may lead to Sixtus, but most pass through the Cross to get there. This is not by accident. Pelarian society is based on a principle of remembering the past to shape our future. Sixtus may have been built on the site where the Six first rallied furkind against Man, but the Cross was built on the site of the first battle to commemorate the sacrifice of the furs who died there. Chief among them, as you might have guessed, was a fur named Calix. Nobody remembers if Calix was a fox, a wolf or even a bear. That isn’t important. That he died to save other furs is.

At the centre of the crossroads there is an actual giant white cross upon which is inscribed, “Always Remember”. It is an inspiring sight and furs come from all corners of Pelaria to pay their respects at least once in their lives. I, myself, visit once a year.

The town built at the Cross also serves as a merchant trading post due to its central location. One would expect that where there is trade, corruption normally follows. Oddly, this does not hold true for the Cross. Because the site is so revered amongst furs, those would bring shame with shady dealings are dealt with in expedite fashion. That isn’t to say that the Coven isn’t present, just that they keep an even lower profile than usual.

Carja’s Notes:

Not much to say here. When I chose not to place Sixtus in the centre of the map, it just made sense to have a town at the great crossroads. As for the name, I just liked the sound of it.
