Caldcourt

Caldcourt is one of the seven city-states in Dunwichia. Caldcourt was built along the Mumazaq Flux. Across the Flux from Caldcourt is Kraaiing, a sister-city in Hasbachland.

Government

The Caldish Governor, Lydia Caldwell, rules the city-state with a council made up of the heads of other Caldish noble families, as well as some elected and appointed officials. The Caldwell Family has been the ruling the city since its founding after the Tempest.

Industry & Trade

Caldcourt is historically where all trade from Hasbachland enters Dunwichia. The seas of the Dunwichian coastline are known for pirates, and thus most trade enters the country either through Caldcourt or Sudcourt, before being taken by caravan to Corhext and then onto the other city-states.
Caldcourt is also known throughout Dunwichia for certain types of seafood endemic to the Mumazaq estuary.

History

Local legends say that Caldcourt and Kraaiing were both founded by survivors from the same expedition, which is why the bridge between them, The Sempstress, was built with equal effort from both cities.

Points of interest

The Sempstress Bridge not only serves as a corridor between Dunwichia and Hasbachland, but also as a resting place, a home for some between nations, and a tourist destination.

Tourism

Many Dunwichians travel to Caldcourt to see The Sempstress Bridge, and the bridge brings many people from the city of Kraiing into Caldcourt for business.
