New Marys

A rebuilding of Marys on the Vorma after the original sunk into the Hætta Marsh during a harsh rainstorm. Having learned their lesson, New Marys is built on the far banks of the original.
New Marys is a lovely quiet town of fishermen, weavers, and hunters. The marsh offering plenty of fish and fowl as well as tough reeds which are transformed into baskets and hats. This quiet life is only broken up by the river boats connecting New Marys to the bustling industry of the river

Government

New Marys is governed by a representative of the Seventh Order of Queens. They maintain taxation and trade relationships with nearby towns and cities, but otherwise allow the local guilds to handle the day to day life.

Defences

The settlement is undefended except for a small volunteer militia. It is deep within the Kingdom of Leein's territory so it is difficult to attack by land, and is near a large naval city, to protect it from attacks by sea.

Industry & Trade

The main industries of New Marys are exporting preserved meat and various woven products. The city imports all of it's metal tools including replacement parts for it's gondolas.

Infrastructure

There is a large bridge that spans the Vorma which is covered in pulleys and docks to catch riverboats and get goods on and off of them. Within the city, there are watermills along the river's bank which through pulleys, operate a rudimentary gondola system that can transport people and goods to and from the river's bank.

Districts

Feipack is the name of the district along the river and the name of the bridge that lets one cross it. It contains few residences, but plenty of craftsmen to process the various fish and fowl brought in each day from the Hætta Marsh. It is also busy from the river boats and gondola transferring goods around the town.
Truepit is a small district on the far side of the Feipack, where a few homes and craftsmen have set up to more easily access the Hætta Marsh. But those who live within the town proper believe these people to be crazy and warn that their homes will sink like the original Marys.
Reedkore makes up the majority of the town, various craftsmen, inns, warehouses are sporadically placed, making room to walk or ride the gondola's overhead.

Guilds and Factions

Boatman's Guild regulates the trade and wages of those working on the river boats and on the Feipack.
Fish and Fowl Association (FFA) ensures that the meats being sold are labelled correctly and regulated quality, and prevents over-hunting/fishing.
Gondoliers Guild is responsible for wages for the people working and maintaining the gondolas and requisitions the materials needed to upkeep them.
