Editing Pepperoncini

{{Worldbuilders}}The coastal town of Pepperoncini (sometimes bastardized as "Pepper Chine") lies at the northern tip of the island of Morugana in the Devil's Tongue island chain among the [[Gulfithorp Isles]]. It is the home of the clan of Norixius, a group of human and dragonborn kin who pay tribute for their draconic ancestry to the Great General [[Bronze Dragon|bronze dragon]] [[Tenorixion]].

== History ==
After the great dividing of the Norixus Clan, part of the family took up residence on Morugana, and eventually formed Pepperocini. As the family and Cult of Bronze grew, so did the town. 

The town came to thrive on its own outside of either the Norixus or the Cult of the Bronze and people of all races, creeds, etc came to live in the idyllic location and the Norixus family built up a large estate outside of town on the Northern cliffs of the Isle.

After a tyrant came to lead the Cult of Bronze, the townspeople of Pepperocini not only demanded the disbandment of the Cult, but also asked for reparations, and repayment of large debts that they had accrued. After this, the cult ceased to exist in Pepperocini and the Norixus family took on their ancestral name of Umha to distance themselves from the once tyrant. 

The Umha family never could manage to pay back their large debts, however, and the town never fully recovered. Over time, almost all members of the town moved out to other nearby villages and cities and by 1296 PR, the town is but a ghost.

== Notable Residents ==
[[(Norixius) Medrash|Medrash]], a bronze draconic sorcerer who some blame for the "Burning of Ambleside" in 465 PR is a member of the Norixius clan and was born in Pepperoncini.

[[Tenorixion]], the Great General, is said to have frequented the town in order to mingle with the members of the Norixius clan. This was seemingly confirmed when Ginevra, a woman of Pepperoncini, gave birth to a dragonborn daughter, Tehemina. Tehemina would go on to birth eight children, all dragonborn, including Ilaria, mother of Medrash.
