Iriemore

Iriemore is the Port city for the Eastern Ocean that boarders the Kingdom of Tirine. Iriemore was built to have easier Sea based access to Nanderthon and Ellon along with the resources that can only be found in the Eastern territories of Oriand. Iriemore is a sister city to Haston and was set up in a similar manner with some new improvements that were made during construction.

Demographics

Like Haston you will find just about every race within the city, but the main population is considered to be human. The diversity comes from the merchants who have decided to make the city their residence along with the craftsmen that hav settled here.

Government

With a lower population the taxes are not as high as what they are in Haston. However, individual shops are taxed at 15% of their annual income with 20% of the 15 going to the crown in the Capital city, Thallior. The remaining portions that stay in the city are used for expansion and general improvement of the city along with the expenses for city officials.

Defences

The terrain around the city was altered to construct a moat around the city. The city walls are 2 feet thick with a drawbridge to gain access to the city. The city only has one gate. This does cause longer wait times to get into the city but lowers the number of guards needed on the gate. The Walls were built taller for Iriemore than they were for Haston due to improvments in the understanding of building between the timeframes of construction. The walls extend all the way to the sea on each side of the city.

Industry & Trade

Iriemore is a port city that rely's on trade and the sell of goods to maintain its wealth. It helps that the craftsmen within the city provide quality goods for sell within the city.

Infrastructure

Some more well off merchants and shops have contributed their own funds to certain projects within the city to improve it. A fountain was built in the center of the court yard to improve the lives of everyone. The fountain pumps in clean freshwater for anyone who has need to come and get water. A temple and statue were also built so that sailors and captains of vessels could pray before they embark on their journey.

Districts

Iriemore is seperated into several districts. Each district is geared to what you are specifically looking for in goods. The Steel District is everything that you could possibly want or need in the way of Armor or Weaponary. The level of skill within the Steel District ranges from Novice Smiths just beginning the road out of their apprenticeship to Master Smiths who have been crafting their wares for years. There are Smiths that have studied from different cultures as well. From the Dwarves and the Elves. The Silk Road is the district that holds the majority of the tailors within the City. The Gem Distict is where you would find all of your luxury and expensive goods. Only the wealthy and Noble individuals can afford to shop there so it is generally not open for common use. The District of Wonders is generally sought out by individuals that are looking more into the magical side of things. The Vine District is where one would who is into Alchemy would buy all of their supplies for their potions. At the direct heart of the city is where the courts are held. The Water district is found directly on the water and is where all the docks are located along with any storage facilities that hold the cargo that is offloaded before it can be sold to the merchants of the city.

Assets

Numerous merchnats have set up shops, while traveling merchants will set up stands. The docks are home to ships that Sea merchants who also own buildings to store their goods waiting for buyers. The craftsmen of the city have several different locations within the city where they turn raw materials into goods to be sold.

Points of interest

The temple for the Sailors is so well constructed that it is a point that people go to see whenever they come to the city. Most merchants have come to assume that most people who don't stop to buy from them just want directions to see the temple.

Tourism

Most of the people who come to the city are there for goods that may not be available to them any where else within the Kingdom.

Architecture

Only the wealthy patrons of the city have buildings that are built of stone. The rest of the city is made from wood and the more money people put into the buildings the more elaborate the wood work is. The wood buildings range from elaboratly carved buildings to simple plank built.

Geography

The city is partially hidden from view by the woods that surrond the city. Only the main gate can be seen through the opening of the trees and it does hide how big the city actually is.

Natural Resources

The city has a very big fishing trade in response to the lack of other meats available. The farms that contribute to the city are within a days journey of the city but they are not within the city itself.
