Dutivl
Districts
Old District
Old District is the heart of Dutivl, steeped in history and tradition. Narrow cobblestone streets wind past ancient buildings with half-timbered frames and workshops overflowing with the sounds of hammering and creation. Those who live here are artisans, blacksmiths, and families who have lived in Dutivl for generations. They fiercely preserve Temian traditions and take pride in their heritage. And here you can find the following:The Grand Ducal Palace:
An imposing structure showcasing Temian craftsmanship, with a museum housing historical artifacts and a grand hall for official ceremonies.
The Guildhall:
A central location for guilds to meet, conduct business, and hold training sessions.
The Ancestral Forge:
A revered landmark, believed to be the site where the legendary blacksmith forged the first tools that united Temia. It's a pilgrimage site for aspiring craftspeople.
Skyheart Sprawl
The bustling new district that has sprung up around the city walls. It's filled with taller, modern buildings, bustling markets, and a diverse population. Merchants, traders, immigrants from other lands, and ambitious young Temians seeking new opportunities come here. This district is known for its energy and constant growth.

The Port
The Port is the beating heart of Dutivl's trade, a hive of activity with ships from all corners of the world docking and departing daily. Warehouses line the piers, and the salty air is filled with the cries of sailors and merchants. Sailors, traders, dockworkers, and a mix of people from various cultures who bring their customs and stories to Dutivl, starting here. It's a place of opportunity and a melting pot of cultures. A few great places to see here are:The Admiral's Keep:
The headquarters of the Temian navy, overseeing the port's security and coordinating naval expeditions.

A network of rickety taverns, gambling dens, and shops catering to sailors seeking a good time or a quick sale of their wares. It's a place of both merriment and potential danger.

A towering structure guiding ships safely into the harbor, staffed by experienced navigators and lighthouse keepers.
Salt Tower
A solitary, imposing tower sits on the outskirts of Dutivl, overlooking the harbor. A small contingent of Knights of the Anvil live here and are tasked with guarding the tower and monitoring for potential threats approaching the city. Here one can find (if the Knights allow you to):The Salt Vaults:
Deep within the tower lie vast reserves of salt, a vital resource for preserving food and a source of wealth for Temia.
The Watchtower:
The highest point in Dutivl, offering panoramic views of the city, the harbor, and the surrounding lands. The Knights use it to keep watch for any sign of danger.

There is so much to explore here and I feel like this is one of those places where I could (and would) lose all sense of time. Of course being all the way over there I wouldn't have to deal with my father. He really doesn't know me very well, and keeps pushing me in a direction that isn't right for me. But not everyone is my family is bad. Most try to understand me, or at the very least don't push my like the Earl of Hawkport does. How can he know me so little, his own son?
