Feolinn

Smaller than its nearest coastal neighbors, Feolinn is widely referred to as the Garden City for its rural aesthetic, proximity to the Plumgroves, and well-kept parks and gardens. Feolinn acts as a harbor for the plentiful fishing around the Mother’s Sigh Reef, as well as a destination for travelers looking to escape the chaos of Exandria’s woes. Feolinn is a popular destination for wealthy socialites, and it is filled with businesses that specialize in indulgence and self-pampering.

Wines of Feolinn

Tropical weather and fertile lands have enabled Feolinn to develop a prosperous wine trade across the Menagerie Coast and beyond. There is fierce competition between local families as well as the rival wineries of Kamordah in the empire, and the numerous wines exported from Feolinn can claim a respectable bit of coin, though the prices might vary depending on the market.
Solvia Groves Diamond Plum Wine: 60 gp per bottle.
Oveso Family Dark Red: 35 gp per bottle.
Rustlecall’s Evening Dream Plum Wine: 40 gp per bottle.
Solvia Groves Sunset White Wine: 30 gp per bottle.
Cuthras Silver Vineyard Premium Red Wine: 50 gp per bottle.
Viotsk Blackberry Wine: 40 gp per bottle.

The Vizotsk Family

Shandra Vizotsk's family has been harvesting the Plumgroves for three generations and takes great pride in their rich red and berry wines. However, for many years it seemed the Vizotsk legacy would end with her and her husband, Ozrut. When they discovered a young tortle in need of a home, it seemed their prayers had been answered. Recently, their daughter, Kuru, abandoned the family home in order to travel the world, leaving the Vizotsks in the lurch once again.
The Vizotsk homestead sits on the edge of the Plumgroves, overlooking their vineyard.

Government

Marquis Hector Soliva runs the city, with wealthy, non-competitive businesses operating as an unofficial council.
Feolinn’s reputation for vanity is well-deserved; even its leaders believe in their city’s superiority. Marquis Hector Soliva of the Soliva Winery family is the third marquis of his bloodline to maintain the city’s luxurious image, while also doing his best to elevate the prestige of his family’s business. Local Zhelezo are often tipped by businesses to pay particular attention to their safety, or to pry into the affairs of competitors. This culture of bribery has caused Feolinn’s Zhelezo to neglect the concerns of their city’s underclass in favor of lining their pockets with “tips” from merchants.

Defences

Local Zhelezo keep the peace and protect the city perimeter. Affluent members of society also keep a hired guard.

Crime

Visible, violent, and unbecoming criminal activity is swiftly quelled to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the fair city. However, quiet lawbreaking occurs within back rooms of wineries and the mansions of the upper class. A number of powerful local businesses have even fallen in with the Myriad to unseat their competitors, and though few are aware of it, Feolinn is now nearly as corrupt as Port Damali.

Industry & Trade

Most basic supplies are readily available in taverns, inns, and the marketplace.

Guilds and Factions

Shrines and temples to the Prime Deities are present, if downplayed in prominence. Local merchant families vie for financial and political dominance, leaving room for growing Myriad corruption.

Geography

Buttressed against the southern tree line of the Plumgroves and surrounded by a number of small family farms, Feolinn is replete with rural charm. The city itself is comprised of four main roads that form a large rectangle, with each corner ending in a promenade filled with shops and pubs, while the city center is mostly made up of residential homes and affluent estates. Suamalie Way specializes in food and fine dining, while Alt’afi Avenue sports theaters, bathhouses, gambling halls, and other venues for private entertainment. Minceli Road contains administration buildings and Zhelezo barracks, and Soyer Street is home to many of the local harvesters and working class folk.

Natural Resources

The abundance of fruit and sweet roots harvested from the Plumgroves has given rise to a competitive wine and spirits industry. Feolinn wines and ciders are renowned throughout Exandria. The vintners of Feolinn are known for their intense pride—and for the disdain they have for other vineyards, such as those in the Dwendalian city of Kamordah. Classic vintages auction well in Port Damali, while high-end liquor is presented as a fine gift in noble circles. Competition between the local wineries and distilleries is cutthroat, with major organizations such as the Soliva Winery, the Laffath & Legrand Vineyards, the Leoleoa Cellars, and the Purple Breast Company all vying for local and international renown.
