Tellarus, General Document

Tellarus is touted by many of its inhabitants as the largest, most populous, most exciting city in the entire world of Summer's Tale. It flies a flag of a maroon lion on a white field, or less often a long maroon standard bordered all around with white (the Municipal Flag, always flow lower)..
Tellarus is a sprawling metropolis in the western coast of Aligoria. It seats the Aligorian Senate, and the Imperial Government and Empress' Palace, along with the extensive slums called "the Gutter," a place of deep history and intrigue.
A seemingly endless row of shops and merchants glut the valley of the Saltwash River as it flows through the town and out into the harbor. The town is ruled with a tight fist whenever possible, although the slums are not often patrolled by city or imperial guards.
(The Gutter is seen as a den of thieves and n'er-do-wells, not worth the effort. Most imperials will scoff at the very mention of ther place.)


The Plants and Animals of Aligoria are Often Imported and then Naturalized, or kept as pets by those who can afford it.

Western Tellarus, bordering the sea. This leaves out a good deal of the eastern city and the Gutter, both of which sprawl out across the high lands into the Salty Valley.
This map includes the southern Gutter and the most important points (Senate's Chambers and the Imperial Palace) of High Tellarus, and the most vibrant Merchant's District on all of the Aligorian Continent.
Each Hex has a particular flavor, location, event, or persons. Hex numbers can be used or not for their particular aspects, but are meant to be loose and flexible. Arrows indicate major thoroughfares (which do go in both directions).
