Everton
Demographics
Everton is home to a large number of humans,halflings,half-elves,and dragonborns. With much smaller populations of half-orcs and dwarves. The ruling bodies do their best to provide everyone with an income. That income is based on the skill of the worker and their particular trade. This does not always create an equal playing field for all citizens, but every citizen is allowed to find outside ways of making extra money.
Government
The King rules over the land with the assistance of his high council and the church of Ulldar. The King and the church work together to form a council to assist the King in ruling over the country. The king is allowed to have as many or as few members on his council as he wants. Typically, the king has enough members on the council to take on huge tasks such as Lord or Lady of Coin,Ships,Farming,Entertainment,Construction, and Technology. There are more potential options that are at the discretion of the King, but these are a few major examples. Kalaphex and his council do their best to provide a good life for all of their people. The country has assigned salaries that are associated with all the various jobs within the country, guaranteeing some sort of livelihood for every citizen. There are large discrepancies in the amounts between jobs, but even small farmers make enough to live off of. The only individuals who do not live by this system are merchants within the cities.
Defences
The city of Everton is surrounded by a massive wall that helps to protect the city. On top of a very strict city guard. Everton is also the home base of Kalaphex's group of Paladins and Clerics, the Indomitable Phalanx. Small bandit groups of evildoers will easily be thwarted within the city. Only a massive army couple hopes to take over the cit
Industry & Trade
Everton's most lucrative forms of trade come from the masterfully cut gems and crafted jewelry made within the city, as well as finely tailored suits, robes, and dresses.
Infrastructure
Everton has built an incredible road system linking all of the settlements and locations of note within the country to its capital. They are incredibly well-made and designed to be wide enough for multiple large caravans to have enough room to travel side by side. Windmills and watermills created on the outskirts of the city help power many of the automated watering systems for farmers crops. A gladiatorial arena exists within the city. Unlike other places within Agodale, individuals who compete choose to do so. Slavery is not legal on the moor. Many who choose to compete do so with the hope of being recognized by members of the Indomitable Phalanx or Kalaphex himself, hoping to be given an opportunity to learn and join the organization.
Assets
Everton is home to some of the most skilled gem cutters and tailors in Agodale. A huge reason behind this is that while the church serves Ulldar and the people, many members of the clergy have a bit of an obsession with fine jewelry and clothing to represent their status.
Guilds and Factions
Indomitable Phalanx-Kalaphex's personal group of paladins and clerics, the Church of Ulldar, the Gem Cutter's Guild, the Tailor's Guild, Mage's College (Abjuration), and the Agricultural Guild.
History
Founded by the original king of the moor, Gerald, Many of today's laws come from the commandments Gerald claimed were given to him by Ulldar himself. These rules coincide with the belief that Ulldar is not just a loving god but also a strict one. These laws have remained throughout the years and are still in full effect within the city of Everton.
Tourism
Tourism is highly encouraged in Everton. Many merchants within the city make exorbitant amounts of gold and platinum by selling jewelry and finely made clothing to tourists or representatives of royalty or nobility from other countries. The city government encourages tourism in hopes of bringing more individuals into the worship of Ulldar and boosting their numbers.
Architecture
Gothic architecture is the predominant style in not only Everton but the moor. Verticality is emphasized in Gothic architecture, which features almost skeletal stone structures with great expanses of glass, pared-down wall surfaces supported by external flying buttresses, pointed arches using the ogive shape, ribbed stone vaults, clustered columns, pinnacles, and sharply pointed spires. Windows contain stained glass, showing stories from ancient religious texts and from the lives of saints. Such advances in design allowed cathedrals to rise taller than ever.
Geography
Everton is located just south-west of a massive forest. Not much is known about this forest, and it is rumored to have various dangerous beasts and dark magic users that reside inside. The outskirts of the city have relatively fertile land, making it easy enough for farmers to grow crops and provide for their livestock.
Natural Resources
Plant life grows in abundance here, creating a large surplus of food and flora. Because of the fertile land, there is more than enough grass for farmers to have large amounts of livestock, creating a huge market for oxen, horses,sheep,cattle, and other various livestock.
