Phurr is the capital of the catfolk, a species of feline humanoids who have made their home close to a large lake in Trendelika. This city has been around for centuries and is one of the oldest cities in the region.
The city itself sits atop three hills, which form its outer walls, with each hill having an entrance gate that leads into the inner city. The streets inside Phurr are lined by tall buildings constructed from stone and wood, giving it an old-world feel while still possessing modern amenities such as running water. Inside these walls lies a bustling town filled with merchants selling goods from all over Trendelika, as well as street food vendors cooking up delicious meals every day.
The most important part of this town, however, is Lake Phurrian, which lies just outside its gates. This calm body of water is home to many animals that eat the plants and animals that live in its depths. It is also a place where people can swim or fish during the hot summer months when temperatures are much higher here than they are elsewhere in Trendelika.
