MAP OF THE CITY

(And Surrounding Territories)

BASIC

 

 

THE CITY

Original area of the City before a period of aggressive expansion expanded the territorial limits of the shrunken Barony.  Most covered with urban development, it is bisected by the river, and is the site of its lowest bridging point.

 

 

MARKHAM’S ISLE

Small island named after the infamous pirate Capt. William Markham.  Site of a lighthouse and not much else.  The Baron controls it de jure,  but pays very little attention to it.  Generations of pirates have used its caves for a base – now the Mechanists have purchased control of it.

 

 

 
WESTERN COUNTRYSIDE

A flat and fertile floodplain, its agricultural productivity and proximity to Cyric and Bohn have led to its densely-concentrated population.  Administered by a Governor appointed by the Baron.

 

EASTERN MOUNTAINS

The mountains form a chain that makes communication with the world east of the City difficult.  The Cyric/Bohn – Blackbrook road passes through the mountains, and is defended by several forts and castles.   One of its numerous abandoned quarries was converted into Cragscleft Prison by the Order of the Hammer. Administered by a Governor appointed by the Baron.

 

NORTHERN TERRITORIES

Neither good for farming nor mining, the Northern Territories are nevertheless an important strategic possession, defending the river, the main artery of trade in the region, and a major bone of contention between the City and Blackbrook.  Excellent hunting makes it popular with nobles, despite the war proceeding there against the armies of Blackbrook.  Administered by a Governor appointed by the Baron.
