Jundredgate
Laying at the frontier of the Rikord Forest, Jundredgate is the main producer of wood materials and the only place to make the famous "bent wood", structures and objects, made out of wood that has been under a special treatment, unique to Jundredgate, giving flexible properties and allowing it to be bent into impossible angles.
Demographics
Most people living in Jundredgate is human or dwarf. Elves also populate a great part of the city. Other races can be found but are much more sparse.
While humans and dwarfs are spread across all social layers, elves mostly occupy the wealthiest layers. Other races aside human, dwarven or elven can be found between middle and lower class. In the former case, many people are migrants who work in the lumber industry and seek a better life in the Phoenix Kingdom.

Government
Like any other settlement in the Phoenix Kingdom, Jundredgate is ruled by a governor who manages the city along with a small group of advisors. Both the governor and the advisors tend to be either important merchants living in the city or major workers in the lumber industry since the city lives mostly from this trade and resource.
This being, the ruling party has a particular focus on trade and industry, monitoring both very close and working hard to maintain their health and presence.

Industry & Trade
Lumber and carpentry are the main source of income to the city and most of its inhabitants. Also, many derivatives from this resource, like coal, resins or cork, are produced and sold for coin or other goods.
The forest also gives some fruits, game or plants which can be harvested or hunted to be sold or consumed by the populace.
One important business in Jundredgate is the production of "bent wood", a type of lumber only made here. "Bent wood" consists of single pieces of wood bent and twisted in odd shapes for this material without the use of nails or fittings. Instead of using several pieces of wood to make a structure, the gathered timber is subjected to a special treatment, called the water treatment, which allows carpenters to shape a single part of timber to almost any form they desire.
Some can even come from planted trees forced by some mean to grow into a certain shape. This type of the process is less versatile and require some forward planning since the shape needs to be predetermined and can't be easily changed in most of its stages.
However, this method produce and sturdier and endured "bent wood" than the water treatment method.
